Python Day 1

I have prior experience in Python but it's been a couple years since I last used it and I've forgotten most of it. I'm working through the book 'Learn Python the Hard Way' v3 by Zed Shaw. If you are interested in getting a copy feel free to shoot me a message and I can help you out! This is the start of my post series on learning Python - if you have any suggestions, comments, or questions I would love to hear more! Also for this post I have used brief Image Descriptions and did not include the full program in the ID. If you want me to include the actual code in the ID please let me know and I will do that in the future under a line break so my posts don't eat up people's feeds.

[ID 1: Exercise 10 program in VSCode. It uses variables and Print() to print out different sentences to demonstrate different escape sequences /ID]

[ID 2: Output of Exercise 10. It is a list with cat food, fishies, catnip, and grass. /ID]

Exercise 10 is about learning different escape sequences. For example if you are defining your variable text string with "double quotes" and want to use double quotes within the text string you need to use an escape sequence so it doesn't think you are ending your variable early.

Another important thing with Escape Sequences is to make sure that you are using the \ backslash instead of / forward slash.

An important thing with the book is he gives you Study Drills on how to experiment and learn more on your own. I really like this book due to that, in addition to how copying the programs helps train your eye to pick up small errors. Let me tell you - the amount of time that I have spent confused as to why my program was broken and it turned out to be a missing character is a lot.

[ID 3: Exercise 11 in VSCode using Print() and Input() to get someone's age, height, and weight /ID]

[ID 4: Exercise 11 output saying I'm 23, 5'5, and 198 heavy /ID]

The Study Drill asks me to research Input() and to write another form to ask more questions. Researching Input I found that you not need to use Print statements - you can print the user input prompt directly inside the parenthesis of Input. I decided to write a form that would get your short, mid, and long term goals without using Print() statements to get user input.

[ID 5: A python program that uses Input() to get short, mid, and long term goals before printing them all together /ID]

[ID 6: The output of the above program. My long term career goal is to work in Cybersecurity, my mid term career goal is to go to college and get a degree in Computer Science, and my short term career goal is to get as many certificates as I can in my trade school /ID]

Exercise 12 introduces the concept that you can skip using Print statements and has you re-write Exercise 11 without using Print statements.

Anyway that's all that I worked on today! Hopefully you learned something.

Bizongo launches ESG scorecard; aims to help 100000 MSMEs turn ESG compliant in the next 24 months

In a bid to enable 100,000 MSMEs turn ESG compliant in the next 24 months, Bizongo, a leading vendor digitization platform with embedded financing for brands and enterprises has launched Bizongo environmental, social, and governance (ESG) Scorecard. This will help bolster ESG consciousness among Indian MSMEs and larger enterprises. With this, Bizongo has also become the first B2B marketplace to offer ESG-related intelligence. Aniket Deb, Co-founder & COO, Bizongo, said “In its essence, ESG is a framework that helps businesses build customer loyalty, attract investors, make operations sustainable, and improve financial performance. In line with this, Bizongo’s ESG Scorecard will enable MSMEs on its platform assess their ESG performance and help them integrate it into their internal policies and practices.” The scorecard will allow MSMEs to monitor and track their compliance across various ESG components, including social parameters, such as minimum wage policy, Child labor and Forced labor, Harassment and Discrimination, and product quality and testing. It will also focus on environmental parameters, such as the Environment Management System (or ISO 14001, energy management process/policy, policies/processes for optimum, water consumption/ water conservation, circular economy/ recycle/reuse program, management of solid/liquid waste, and GHG emission. On the Governance front, the tool will assess compliance on grievance redressal/whistleblowing, code of conduct, anti-bribery, frauds/malpractice incident, and sub-contractors' due diligence. Leveraging Bizongo’s digital vendor management platform, the scorecard will help MSMEs on the platform validate their credibility in following mandatory compliances, especially when applying for Zero Defect Zero Effect (ZED) certification. It will also simplify availing ZED benefits, such as subsidy on cost of tech adoption, reimbursement on acquisition and installation of Plant & Machinery/ Testing equipment, and concessions in Pricing/processing charges by banks, among others. The MSME sector in India is characterized as resource intensive with 19.4 million MSMEs in the manufacturing industry consuming 25% of the total energy in the industrial sector and generating 110 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent. This consumption is expected to further increase as India continues to boost manufacturing activity. “India being the incumbent host of the G20 Presidency for 2023, the country would like to pioneer the cause of sustainable development goals during the current term and support climate change protection policies. This makes it even more imperative for the sector to invest in ESG. The Government of India has also been advising MSMEs to observe aggressive green practices and manufacture goods with ‘zero defects’ so that they have a ‘zero effect’ on the environment. In line with this Bizongo has taken a mandate to enable MSMEs to ensure that this transition happens, and this scorecard is a starting point that is available for every MSME to use and adopt,” Aniket added. Most MSMEs either do not track their ESG compliance or still rely on manual processes to collect internal ESG data on water consumption, workforce demographics, and code of conduct, amongst others. This leads to unorganized storage of data resources across databases in different formats, which delays decision-making and ineffective tracking of ESG preparedness. “The size of the enterprise, a profit-first mindset, informal nature of operations, and challenges in assessing and selecting sub-vendors/suppliers based on ESG performance are some of the overarching internal challenges preventing ESG adoption. Some of the external factors obstructing the adoption include lack of motivations through more regulatory compliances and absence of push from larger enterprises and customers,” he said As ESG becomes the core conversation in corporate boardrooms and for the allocation of capital, it is compelling brands and enterprises to improve their sustainability performance. Also, the growing demand for a sustainable supply chain is putting pressure on SME vendors to increase resource productivity, reduce emissions, and improve their ESG score. “Bizongo’s scorecard will help MSMEs meet the demands of global-level customers by driving more environmentally friendly and inclusive business operations and manufacturing products with the ethos of ESG. Simultaneously, it will also help large enterprises to monitor their ESG profile and expedite decision-making by assessing the compliance levels of suppliers, vendors, and other supply chain partners.” Aniket said. Further, the Securities and Exchange Board of India’s (SEBI) mandate for the top 1,000 listed entities by market capitalization to file business responsibility and sustainability reporting (BRSR) and disclosures from FY 2023 has triggered large corporations to think about ESG as a value preservation measure. Following the implementation of Bizongo’s scorecard, international and domestic enterprises with a large portfolio of third parties will be able to combat new risk levels and improve their sustainability performance as they onboard partners from Bizongo’s large base of ESG-compliant manufacturers and vendors. Bizongo's ESG scorecard comes on the heels of a preliminary study conducted by the vendor digitization platform to understand the current scale of adoption of ESG-compliant practices by MSMEs and their intent to implement them. Bizongo has been helping MSMEs scale their business by digitizing supply and procurement and offering tailored solutions that will enable the sector to achieve the Government of India’s vision of an Aatmanirbhar Bharat.
