New Holland Construction Celebrates 75 Years in Brazil With Investment in Innovation and Customer Experience

New Holland Construction, CNH‘s construction equipment brand, celebrates 75 years of operation in Brazil.

Present in all states, with a network of dealerships structured to serve customers with excellence, the brand celebrates more than seven decades contributing to the development and progress of the region.

The brand is now established in Minas Gerais, where its factory is located, in Contagem and the Customer Experience Center, in Sarzedo, recently inaugurated with an investment of R$12 million.

“The CEC is a space that offers product and service demonstrations, performs engineering tests and the technical and commercial training of our dealer network, elevating the customer experience and further reinforcing the proximity to the brand,” says Pedro Silva, leader of New Holland Construction for Latin America.

Sustainability and excellence

Like all CNH plants in Brazil, the Contagem plant is zero landfill, correctly disposing of 100% of the waste, seeking environmentally appropriate solutions for each type.

Solid waste from industrial activity includes wood, plastic, cardboard, organic material and oil.. The wood is sent for biomass production; the solvent used in the paint is recycled and reused internally; organic waste is composted; the technological effluent passes through an Effluent Treatment Station for reuse in discharges, cleaning the factory floor or testing on machines.

This result is achieved thanks to the separation, packaging and transportation of materials, done internally by a team responsible for waste management.

New Holland Construction’s Parts Distribution Center in Sorocaba (SP) also achieved the Zero Landfill goal.

The building, inaugurated in 2010, has 66 thousand m² and was built within the modern concepts of Green Building, which identify the construction and the enterprise as environmentally responsible. All the material used in the construction had its origin certified to ensure that the work did not use predatory elements to nature. For this reason, the Distribution Center received the Green Building certification from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) – one of the most prestigious certifying entities in the world.

New Holland Construction’s DC was the first in the sector in South America to receive LEED Gold certification, the most important international environmental seal for sustainable buildings.

GoWest Honored with 2025 Event of the Year Award for MAXX CU4Kids Benefit Auction

SEATTLE, April 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMN Hospitals) announced GoWest Credit Union Association and member credit unions received the 2025 Event of the Year for its annual MAXX CU4Kids Benefit Auction. This national recognition celebrates the legacy and impact of GoWest’s signature fundraising event and the generosity of credit unions throughout the region.

Each year, CMN Hospitals recognizes one fundraising event that exemplifies excellence in planning, engagement, and impact. In 2025, GoWest is being recognized specifically for the 2024 “Diamond Round-Up” edition of the Benefit Auction, which raised an impressive $1.2 million for CMN Hospitals across the six-state GoWest region—Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and Wyoming.

“Each year, CMN Hospitals is the beneficiary of thousands of outstanding events, from both the credit union industry and our other partners. Yet, the GoWest MAXX Benefit Auction has stood out among the rest for the impressive fundraising impact, the example of cooperation that has been established, and the long-term dedication to support our mission. We are extremely grateful to the many people that have contributed to this event’s success over the years. Thank you, GoWest Credit Union Association, and credit union members. Congratulations!” said Kristen Schavemaker, Chief Programs Officer at Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

“It’s an honor to accept this award on behalf of the incredible credit unions and business partners across our region and the broader industry,” said Troy Stang at GoWest Credit Union Association. “This recognition is a celebration of the heart and spirit of the credit union movement—the collective credit union commitment to serving the kids, families, and hospitals in our communities, and the creative, joyful ways our credit union family continues to give back.”

The 2024 “YeeHaw” theme Diamond Roundup was complete with a lasso competition and a high-stakes “Crack the Safe” game, where one lucky attendee walked away with a sparkling diamond bracelet. This award represents the ongoing legacy of the CU4Kids Benefit Auction, which has raised more than $11.2 million nationally since 2002. Central to the event are the symbolic red wagons, purchased and donated each year by participating credit unions and gifted to the 11 children’s hospitals that benefit from the event’s proceeds.

The Benefit Auction takes place during the annual GoWest MAXX Conference, which brings together credit union leaders to network, learn, and celebrate the credit union difference. With each year’s unique theme, from ’80s Prom to Diamond Round-Up, the event has become one of the most spirited and impactful fundraisers in the credit union movement.

GoWest thanks all the credit unions and partners who have made this recognition possible and looks ahead to continuing the tradition in 2025 and beyond.

Bold in Bouldering and Business

Cummins

Carrying a giant, black folded foam pad on her back, Alexandra Toth hikes a path surrounded by towering southern red oak trees in a Tennessee forest. She is on her way to boulder at one of her favorite rock-climbing spots.

“I did not like bouldering when I first started climbing,” Alexandra admits. “It was so hard. I couldn’t figure out how to do it. I didn’t feel strong enough. So I tried other types of climbing, and over time, especially as I started to climb outside, I found that bouldering was actually my favorite.”

Unlike traditional rock climbing, bouldering doesn’t use a safety rope. It’s highly dependent on the balance, grip and technique of the climber to complete a sequence of moves called a “problem.” Rather than moving toward neck-craning heights, Alexandra must find her way through a shorter climb with condensed, complex formations. She must think creatively and rely on her flexibility to figure out the movements that work best towards finding the solution, the giant, black folded foam pad there to catch her if she can’t.

Climbers may have to put a heel well above their head, hang upside down, and carefully but forcefully swing a leg or arm from one spot to the next. It’s why Alexandra describes boulders as hard puzzles.

“As someone who has always loved a puzzle to solve and finding different solutions, it’s what attracted me to bouldering — a way to exercise my mind and my body, but also find these unique ways to problem-solve.”

Alexandra’s passion for rock climbing was born from an even deeper passion for the environment that began when she attended a unique elementary and middle school located down the river from a national park. Much of the curriculum focused on environmental education. Field trips and activities included spending a weekend backpacking through a forest, learning how to kayak and flip the kayak back over if you tipped, climbing rocks and alpine towers, and mastering how to use a compass to navigate your way through the woods.

After taking an environmental science course in high school, Alexandra knew she wanted to apply those learnings into her career. So she did just that.

As an Environmental and Product Data Manager at Cummins Inc., Alexandra focuses on technology investment portfolio analysis and product greenhouse gas emissions accounting, strategic planning and reporting. Her goal is to help Cummins make investment decisions as technology evolves through the energy transition.

“Most of Cummins’ greenhouse gas footprint is from product emissions,” Alexandra explains. “So, how do we make the products more efficient, use low-carbon fuels, make renewable fuels, electrify, or use alternative powertrain pathways to reduce emissions for the world?”

Those are exactly the questions Alexandra hopes to answer. For the past three and a half years, she’s been studying market trends, tracking engineering research and development expenses, and analyzing the emissions of application technologies to ensure the company creates a product portfolio that meets the needs of its customers now while also supporting a more sustainable future.

“I think that’s one of the foundational aspects of Cummins: We have so many products that apply to different industries, and we’re all going to move at different rates and speeds through this energy transition,” Alexandra shares. “We’re making investments in all these different technologies so that we have foundational building blocks that will set us up when the market turns or when an industry shifts.”

Ultimately, Alexandra’s eagerness to solve problems, coupled with her deep appreciation for the environment combined seamlessly with her position at Cummins Inc. Her passion for the outdoors has continued to follow her throughout her life, from adolescence to adulthood, weaving between her career and personal adventures.

“Reflecting on younger me, I’m very proud of the work I do now,” Alexandra says. Her role at Cummins is one way she can help protect the places where she finds serenity and peace.

Navigating the energy transition is not an easy task, but Alexandra isn’t one to shy away from a challenge. Every time she falls while bouldering, she’s quick to dust herself off, chalk her hands and try a different path. It’s the same mindset she applies to her work.

“Rock climbing can feel like 99% failure, but you have to remember it’s okay to fail,” she explains. “It’s okay to be wrong. The most important part is you learning from it and changing your approach. The beta [your solution to a rock climb] may be different depending on how strong you’re feeling that day, how much you prepared or weather conditions, and I think this actually parallels really well with the energy transition — how we all are going to have to adapt and evolve.”

Like Cummins, Alexandra believes there is no single solution for everyone, nor are all obstacles ahead predictable and controllable. However, as Alexandra believes, “those who find success are the ones who learned along the way to find the best approach at the moment.”

Research Highlights Italians’ Strong Support for Olympic Values Ahead of Milano Cortina 2026

International Olympic Committee news

With one year to go until the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026, new research from SWG commissioned by Coca-Cola Italy reveals that Italians see the Olympic Games as a powerful force for unity, inclusion and social change.

The study highlights the deep emotional connection Italians have with values such as respect, solidarity and perseverance – values that 8 out of 10 Italians say they support when cheering for athletes. Notably, 84 per cent of Italians believe that the Olympic values can promote social inclusion and help make sport a driver of change.

The study also highlights how the Olympic Games captivate Italians across all age groups, with 7 out of 10 following the event with passion and curiosity, including 65 per cent of those aged under 30.

The research findings underpin independent research conducted by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which demonstrated that around five billion people followed the inspirational achievements of the Olympic athletes and the magic of the Olympic Games Paris 2024. The independent research for Paris had also found that 78 per cent of the people believe the Olympic Games are more important than ever in today’s world, and 75 per cent said the IOC was successful in Paris in bringing the world together in peaceful competition.

The Games in Paris also demonstrated the unprecedented global appeal of the Olympic Games and that the Olympic values truly resonate with younger generations. According to an independent brand tracker study conducted in September 2024, the relevance of the Olympic Games with Gen Z around the world is now higher than with the general population. The tracker also showed that Olympic values resonate particularly well with the younger generations.

IOC President Thomas Bach welcomed the new findings, emphasising the enduring significance of the Olympic values and the strength of the IOC’s partnership with Coca-Cola, which began in 1928.

This research confirms once again that the Olympic values of respect, friendship and excellence have the power to unite and inspire people across generations and communities and resonate in particular with younger audiences. For nearly a century, the IOC and The Coca-Cola Company have shared a commitment to promoting these values and using sport as a force for good. With just one year to go until Milano Cortina 2026, we are thrilled to see the excitement building in Italy and the strong belief in the power of the Games to bring people together and drive positive change.

Thomas Bach
IOC President

A shared celebration

The survey indicates that 62 per cent of Italians say they feel proud to host Milano Cortina 2026, while also recognising that the event can strengthen the country’s sense of unity, according to 59 per cent of respondents.

The research further highlights the Olympic Games as a moment of cultural enrichment and inspiration, with 72 per cent of Italians being encouraged by past editions to learn more about different sports, while 64 per cent have explored the history and traditions of other nations through the Games. The Paralympic Games are also playing a crucial role in raising awareness, particularly among younger generations – 66 per cent of Italians under 30 express a keen interest in the experiences of Paralympic athletes, both on and off the field.

The Olympic flame: A symbol of connection across Italy

The upcoming Olympic Torch Relay, set to begin in Rome on 6 December 2025, will bring the spirit of the Games to communities across Italy, before culminating at the Opening Ceremony in Milan on 6 February 2026. Two out of three Italians see the journey of the Olympic flame as an opportunity to connect people nationwide, reinforcing the inclusive spirit of the Games.

Andrea Varnier, CEO of the Fondazione Milano Cortina 2026, highlighted the significance of The Coca-Cola Company’s support and the unifying role of the Olympic flame.

The partnership between Milano Cortina 2026 and Coca-Cola is expressed through a fully collaborative relationship based on mutual trust. We have already shared many projects since the beginning of this journey, and the most significant one that sees us particularly united is definitely the journey of the flame, a symbol of cohesion of all Italian territories.

Andrea Varnier
CEO of the Fondazione Milano Cortina 2026

“Added to these is the study that, one year before the Games, offers a clear snapshot of the positive feeling Italians have about the event: so much enthusiasm, belonging, unity and pride. The research is therefore a key step in building the legacy that this great event will leave to the country and remain available for the next generations. We thank Coca-Cola, which, with its long experience in the Olympic world, shows its support, promotes the Italian Games and contributes significantly to their success,” says Varnier.

Torchbearers will play a central role in this symbolic journey, with Italians expressing a strong desire to see ordinary people with extraordinary stories carrying the flame. Among the Among supporters, 21 per cent say they would like to be torchbearers themselves, seeing it as a moment of personal pride and a dream come true.

Sport as a unifying force for good

Presented at the Centre for American Studies in Rome as part of the Milano Cortina 2026 Cultural Olympiad programme, the research underscores the role of sport to foster unity and inclusion.

The research reaffirms the belief that sport extends beyond competition, serving as a tool for inclusion, education and overcoming differences. For many Italians, cheering is not just about supporting national athletes, but also about celebrating the values they represent. According to the study, 8 out of 10 Italians say they cheer for values such as respect, solidarity and perseverance, reinforcing the idea that the Olympic Games can play a crucial role in building a more inclusive society.

These values also shape Italians’ perceptions of athletes, associating champions not only with skill and performance, but also with loyalty, sportsmanship and setting an example beyond the field of play.

As the countdown to Milano Cortina 2026 continues, this research highlights the excitement in the host nation of Italy and the enduring power of the Olympic values to inspire individuals and unite communities.

Methodological note

Survey by SWG: The Olympic Spirit of Italians. Values expressed as a percentage. Execution date: January 20-24, 2025. Method: CAWI survey on a nationally representative sample of 1,500 subjects aged 18-74.
