Month: March 2023

CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 14, 2023 /3BL Media/ – Duke Energy has announced it will build a first-of-its-kind performance center that will model and accelerate the development, testing and deployment of zero-emissions light-, medium- and heavy-duty commercial electric vehicle (EV) fleets. The site will be located at Duke Energy’s Mount Holly Technology and Innovation Center and will incorporate microgrid integration.

“Electric fleet commitments are increasing as companies with ambitious sustainability goals work to decarbonize business operations,” said Harry Sideris, executive vice president of customer experience, solutions and services for Duke Energy. “We are helping speed commercial fleet electrification across the Duke Energy footprint through innovations like this, while we electrify our own fleet.”

Modeling an electric future

The fleet electrification center at Duke Energy’s Mount Holly Microgrid Center will provide a commercial-grade charging experience for fleet customers evaluating or launching electrification strategies – reinforcing reliability, clean power and optimization by integrating with solar, storage and microgrid controls software applications. By the end of 2023, fleet operators will be able to experience a best-in-class, commercial-grade fleet depot, integrated with energy storage, solar and optimization software, showcasing a model for reliable fleet electrification.

The center will be able to be connected either to the Duke Energy grid, charging from the bulk electric system, or powered by 100% carbon-free resources through the microgrid located at Mount Holly. The project is the first electric fleet depot to offer a microgrid charging option.

“Moving to zero-emission vehicles in this sector will allow North Carolina to seize the enormous economic potential this transition presents, generating billions in net benefits for our state. Projects like this are key for North Carolina fleet owners to take advantage of the cost savings in transitioning to electric vehicles,” said Will Scott, director of southeast climate and energy, Environmental Defense Fund.

On this effort, Duke Energy is teaming with Electrada, an electric fuel solutions company, as part of a larger fleet electrification collaboration. Electrada invests all required capital “behind the meter” on behalf of fleet owners and delivers reliable charging to fleet electric vehicles through a performance contract, eliminating the complexity and risk that fleets face in transitioning to this new source of fuel.

The Electrada model provides secure and seamless conversion for fleets that ensures grid integrity and removes electric fleet charging price volatility. Electrada’s investment on the depot side allows Duke Energy to focus on distribution system performance to support the predictable addition of electric load over time.

“Reducing long-term energy cost and performance risk creates a smoother transition for fleets, increases confidence in electrification, and enables the technology to become more mainstream,” said Kevin Kushman, CEO of Electrada.

Daimler Truck North America (DTNA), the largest heavy-duty truck manufacturer in North America and leading producer of battery-electric trucks, will join Duke Energy and Electrada as a founding participant in the fleet EV charging program at the Duke Energy Emerging Technology and Innovation Center. One of DTNA’s largest East Coast manufacturing facilities is located directly adjacent to the center; this proximity creates an ideal opportunity to utilize the chargers at the site and also demonstrate charging technologies to customers visiting the plant in the future.

“This first-of-its-kind, microgrid-enabled fleet depot will be critical to advancing fleet electrification and building confidence with fleet owners. We look forward to collaborating with Duke Energy and Electrada on this important effort,” said Jeff Allen, senior vice president of operations and specialty vehicles at DTNA.

Carbon-neutral freight transportation driven by innovation

In addition to fleet charging, the site will also function as an innovation hub, allowing Duke Energy to study charger use, performance, management and energy integration.

Identifying EV charging technologies and how they may be used to power any type of fleet with vehicles ranging from class 1 (pickups) to class 8 (over-the-road haulers) will help develop a model that shows the industry a clear, integrated and cost-effective path to fleet electrification. Testing various models of charging scenarios will enable energy load shaping, which can be used to ensure proper grid or microgrid distribution.

The Duke Energy fleet depot will demonstrate that utilities, emerging fleet charging infrastructure solutions, and vehicles may be planned, deployed and operated in a reliable, efficient and interoperable manner, inclusive of the integration of distributed power resources, such as solar and stationary battery storage.

People are looking for a sense of purpose at work — and volunteering is a great way to find it. A volunteer program builds connections between employees, their communities and the causes they care about. It’s proven to increase employee engagement and studies show that volunteers experience benefits to their physical and mental health.

Here are 25 volunteering ideas that will inspire your employees to participate and help to build a purpose-driven company culture people want to be part of.

Spreading Love

1. Support Acts of Goodness. Encourage your people to track volunteer time for random acts of kindness — like picking up groceries for a neighbour or buying coffee for someone experiencing homelessness.
2. Pen a letter to an elder. Many seniors suffer from loneliness. You can be the reason they smile by sending a kind note or letter through an organization like Love for Our Elders.
3. Prepare care packages for seniors in a nursing home. Not every senior has loved ones close by. Make them feel seen and special. Check out organizations like DOROT or Seniors Secret Service.
4. Write letters to children at your local hospital. Hospitalized children need a healthy dose of hope. Send them inspiring messages to brighten their days.
5. Send cards to refugees. Many refugees are faced with hardships as they struggle to rebuild their lives. Show them that people are thinking of them. Check out CARE or Any Refugee  to get started.

Learning

6. Meet a nonprofit. If your company has a relationship with a nonprofit, invite them to host an info session so your people can learn about their work. Tracking this time as volunteering will incentivize your people and might just inspire them to give their time or money directly.
7. Volunteer to learn. More companies are encouraging their people to attend training on important topics like diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging by counting the time they invest as volunteer hours. Invite a leader from one of your employee resource groups (ERGs) to host a session.
8. Start with small actions. Micro-actions help your people take small steps that add up to big impact. Tracking these actions as volunteer time encourages your people to make sustainable changes in their everyday lives. Learn how TC Energy rallied their employees to complete 4,000 micro-actions during their holiday campaign.

Coming together

9. Clean up your community. Grab some trash bags, gloves (and your team!) and head over to a local park or beach. During its annual Homecoming reunion, Benevity split hundreds of employees into small clean-up crews who hit the streets of downtown Calgary and filled countless bags with garbage. Organizations like Shoreline Cleanup make it easy to get together and clean up your local area.
10. Host a bingo night at a nursing home or shelter. Now here’s a winning idea! Add a little fun and excitement with a game everyone can play. You can even engage some residents to be Bingo callers.
11. Make birthday bags. Help make someone’s birthday extra special. Assemble a bag full of kids’ birthday supplies: balloons, candles, cake mix and decorations for a local shelter or food bank.
12. Schedule a shift at a local food bank or soup kitchen. Fight hunger on the front lines by prepping and serving up meals to those in need.
13. Make bagged lunches for the unhoused. Gather colleagues to assemble nutritious bagged lunches. They can be dropped off at a shelter or distributed directly to the unhoused residents of your community.
14. Hold a clothing drive. Keep gently used clothing out of landfills by inviting your people to bring in unwanted items from their closets. Donate clothes to your local shelter or an organization like Dress for Success.
15. Join in on community projects. Ask your local government if they need volunteers for projects around the community; it’s a great way to make a difference that’s close to home.
16. Build hygiene kits. Collect unused samples from home or a dollar store to fill kits with soap, shampoo, deodorant, toothbrushes, combs, etc. Give them to a shelter or donate directly to organizations like Beauty Bus Foundation, which provides beauty services for seriously ill individuals and their caregivers.
17. Help animals. Animal shelters are always looking for volunteers and/or supplies like toys, blankets, pet food, etc. Connect with local shelters or rescue organizations to see how your people can help. Our animals activation kit gives you pre-written content to get started.
18. Organize a food drive. Start by reaching out to your local food bank to see which items they need most. Have employees bring in the requested items and plan a day to drop them off.
19. Sort food at a food bank. Organizing and sorting donations is a big job. Check with your local food bank to organize a time for your people to help. Check out our food banks activation kit for pre-written templates that can help you set this up.
20. Explore skills-based volunteering. Your skills could be incredibly useful to a nonprofit that’s lacking resources. From writing website copy to bookkeeping, lending your skills to longer term projects could make a big impact. Learn how Atlassian’s skills-based volunteering program delivered meaningful impact to 50 cause partners.
21. Become a youth mentor. Everyone needs someone to look up to, and you could be that person for a young adult. To organize a youth mentorship program at your workplace, check out our youth mentorship activation kit.

Volunteering virtually

22. Help the visually impaired. You can help low-vision or blind people lead more independent lives with apps like Be My Eyes.
23. Translate for TED. TED Translators are a global community of volunteers who subtitle TED Talks, enabling inspiring ideas to travel across languages and borders. Consider allowing your people to track their time for this initiative.
24. Help disaster relief workers respond, fast. Humanitarian workers require quick access to vital information during disasters. Volunteering with Humanitarian Data Exchange to collect and input essential information into databases enables rescuers to access the information they need to respond quickly.
25. Join an animal conservation effort. ZSL’s Instant Wild empowers volunteers to take part in vital conservation work by bringing them live images and videos from amazing locations all around the world for identification.

When Ashleigh George, Aflac regional sales coordinator and Aflac Childhood Cancer ambassador, learned the Beads of Courage program at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at Children’s Healthcare in Atlanta needed funding, she and Aflac’s Mountain Market team stepped up for the kids, using their 2023 kick-off meeting to keep the cause going by becoming the sole source of support and raising nearly $27,000.

Mementos of strength 
The Beads of Courage program gives children and teens facing serious illnesses a tangible memento of the journey they experience throughout treatment. For each needle poke, X-ray, procedure and more, they receive a bead to mark the occasion. Soon, they can show off long strings of beads, representing their strength and resilience. It not only improves their quality of life, but it also encourages them and their families to keep pushing forward.

“Every child who becomes a patient at the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center has the option to participate in the Beads of Courage program thanks to our partners in the Aflac Mountain Market,” said Sara Orton, development director, Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center. “We are extremely grateful to have the opportunity to provide this service and outlet for our patients who are receiving care at our center.”

Reading for the cause 
The Mountain Market also cares for its communities closer to home. Along with the delivery of My Special Aflac Ducks® to St. Luke’s Children’s Hospital in Boise, Idaho, Market Director Jaime Gaudet sponsored a Growing Minds Bookshelf. This new library gives young patients the opportunity to take a break and escape into a story. They can choose a book and keep it with them throughout their treatment journey and beyond. It’s something that can be just for them, or they can share with their families and caregivers.

“The Mountain Market’s mission is to take care of our communities,” said Jaime. “Whether it’s through philanthropic activities or through the $50 million Aflac paid in claims last year in Idaho, Oregon-East, Montana and Wyoming, paying it forward with generosity and helping others is just what we do.”

For Aflac’s Mountain Market team, it’s not just about achieving record-breaking sales, it’s caring for your community and delivering on Aflac’s promise to be there for policyholders in their time of need.

Original Publication 

Malaysia, March 14, 2023 /3BL Media/ – Niro Ceramic Group (NCG) announces publication of a verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for its Niro Granite and Portino porcelain tiles, illustrating the environmental impacts of its products. The EPD is the most robust multi-attribute, transparent report that communicates what a product is made of and how it impacts the environment.

NCG’s EPD will help building and design professionals globally to specify products that meet requirements for transparency documentation of environmental impacts. EPDs will also make NCG tile products eligible to contribute to credits in green building schemes such as LEED®.

To achieve the EPD, NCG underwent a full cradle-to-grave life cycle assessment (LCA) of its products. The LCA was conducted by SCS Global Services (SCS) and independently verified. The LCA data was then reported in the EPD, which was then externally verified by an independent 3rd party.

The EPD evaluates potential impacts of resource extraction, energy use, water consumption, waste generation, and emissions from the entire product life cycle. It identifies hot spots along the supply chain and manufacturing and examines the environmental impacts. The EPD also shows the global warming potential (the carbon footprint) of the product at every stage of the product life cycle.

“As part of Niro Ceramic Group’s commitment to a more sustainable world, we are striving to provide more environmentally conscious options internationally for building products, and this EPD is just the start for us,” said Ian Kok, Managing Director of Niro Ceramic Group. “The EPD provides the essential data for us to leverage, as we continue to make product improvements and process efficiencies that are more environmentally sustainable.”

“Consumers and building professionals want to use products that are better for the environment, and they need reliable, trusted, accurate product data to make informed decisions,” said Keith Killpack, Technical Director, SCS Global Services. “With Niro Ceramic Group’s verified EPD, they are providing a fully transparent, objective document that provides just that – and it is a key resource for architects, designers and specifiers. We applaud Niro Ceramic Group for their dedication to undergo a life cycle assessment and publish an EPD to share their products’ environmental impacts.”

Manufactured at the company’s production facilities in Indonesia and Malaysia, the porcelain tile products are produced in a variety of sizes, surface finishes and designs. They are used in both residential and commercial spaces for floor and wall applications.

Learn more about Niro Ceramic Group’s EPD in our Tile Talk and view the EPD on the SCS Green Products Guide.
