The first 1,000 metric tons of CO2 have been successfully captured, liquefied, and temporarily stored at Heidelberg Materials’ cement facility in Brevik, Norway.

This achievement demonstrates the potential for large-scale industrial decarbonization through carbon capture and storage.

The success of this Big Catch™ carbon capture plant is the result of a long-standing collaboration between Heidelberg Materials and SLB Capturi. From pilot testing utilizing the mobile test unit (MTU), leading up to the project award for delivering the carbon capture plant as part of Longship, the Norwegian government’s full-scale CCS value chain project. The plant reached mechanical completion in December 2024, and this first captured CO2 marks the ramp-up towards the design capacity of 400,000 metric tons of CO2 captured annually.

The installation of cutting-edge carbon capture technology at the 100-year-old Brevik facility has been a complex operation, meticulously executed without interrupting daily cement production.

Egil Fagerland, chief executive officer of SLB Capturi, stated: “This milestone is not just about technology; it is about collaboration, perseverance, and setting a new standard for industrial decarbonization. I am grateful for the outstanding teamwork between Heidelberg Materials and SLB Capturi and the strong execution support from Aker Solutions and local industry. Together, we are proving that large-scale decarbonization is possible.”

With the carbon capture plant and the full value chain of transport and storage in operation later this year, the production of the world’s first carbon-captured cement is enabled, setting a new benchmark for sustainability in the industry.

That was the topic on everyone’s lips at the European Direct Selling Association’s 9th annual conference in March, in Brussels. For Mary Kay, the answer is yes! At the Seldia CEO panel titled, “Are Direct Sellers the Original Influencers?Ewa Kudlinska-Pyrz, General Manager of Mary Kay for Poland and Lithuania explored alongside fellow executives the origins of direct selling, the influence and impact of social media on the business model, future growth, and most importantly, the social and economic influence of entrepreneurship on the lives of millions of independent entrepreneurs in Europe and globally.

Below, Ewa shares her thoughts on entrepreneurship, the role of social media in driving entrepreneurial growth, and the future of direct selling.

Q: How are social media and e-commerce reshaping the direct selling industry? 

  • Do you know who the “primogenitor” or the “original creator” of social influence is? What if I told you that it is the iconic Mary Kay Ash, the founder of the beauty and entrepreneurship company, Mary Kay!
  • In her research, Professor Victoria Crittenden Professor of Marketing and Research Scholar at the prestigious Babson College in Massachusetts, found that Mary Kay Ash was an early influencer and one of the most influential female entrepreneurs in the USA. Mary Kay Ash’s influence was her word. She accomplished this not by using her influence to sell products but by using her power as an influencer to help women achieve their own goals.
  • Since early days, the purpose of Direct selling has not changed. Social media brings wonderful new opportunities to expand the reach of our independent beauty consultants. It only changes HOW “she” engages and maximizes her impact.
  • The rise of social media and e-commerce also bring growth perspectives to direct selling. According to research by the Business Research Company[1], the global direct selling market is projected to grow from $194.89 billion in 2024 to $208.46 billion in 2025, which is a 7% annual growth rate. Key drivers of this growth are the rise of direct-to-consumer (D2C) distribution, the rise in the use of online tools, rising internet penetration, rapid growth in social media, and rising awareness regarding health and beauty.

Q: How is Mary Kay blending e-commerce/ social media and direct selling effectively? 

  • Combining social selling, e-commerce, and personalized customer service is the winning formula to attract the next generation of Independent Beauty Consultants as well as a new generation of consumers accustomed to the convenience and immediacy of online shopping.
  • The exciting news is that our Mary Kay business opportunity allows the blending of in-person and digital avenues to empower the beauty consultant to sell with confidence.
  • We want to make selling easy and delightful for our IBCs and our digital platforms enable seamless use of digital technology in day-to-day operations, including placing orders.
  • Thanks to a variety of Mary Kay’s tools, consumers can easily find our Independent Beauty Consultants wherever they are and shop with them online, in person, or through social media apps and channels.

Q: Tell us about the “Next Gen” Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultants? 

  • Our “next gen” Independent Beauty Consultants seek selling options that align with their lives and priorities. They are confident running their businesses online and in-person. They are seeking time flexibility and methods to earn additional income. They are passionate about beauty and well-being, and they want to make a positive impact in their communities.
  • Recent research shows that Gen Z (ages 18-26) and Younger Millennials (27-35) have a significant interest in direct selling. They have a positive perception, are comfortable learning about its opportunities,[2] and being part of a cause.
  • As a global company, we know it’s important to understand customer preferences and how they differ across the world. Consumers want authentic, ethical, socially responsible, environmentally conscious, and science-based effective products from brands who walk the walk, which is what we deliver.

Q: Your motto in this social day and age? 

  • Our founder and trailblazer Mary Kay Ash said: “Nothing happens until someone sells something. “
  • Like never before, we now have boundless opportunities to reach costumers WHERE they are, no matter if it is somebody in your neighborhood or across the country!

Some journeys are measured in miles. Others are measured in character. For Jason Wood, it’s both—and he’s just getting started.

Jason’s path to becoming a decorated U.S. Army veteran began in college, when he made a decision that would ultimately set the course for his future.

“I initially committed to a Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) scholarship as a way to help pay for college,” he said. “I never expected just how much that decision would shape my life.”

This scholarship marked the beginning of Jason’s remarkable military career. But shortly after he signed his contract with the Army, the course of history shifted with the September 11th terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.

“My understanding of what my responsibilities would look like after college was completely altered on that day,” he said. “The attacks changed everything—not just for me, but for an entire generation of service members.”

Answering the call to serve in a time of uncertainty, Jason went on to complete a distinguished seven-year career as an Army officer, including three combat tours during Operation Iraqi Freedom. One of his most rewarding experiences was leading the 89th Transportation Company as Company Commander, where he guided soldiers through the challenges of combat and earned recognition as the Transportation Corps Officer of the Year.

“It was the shared experiences and camaraderie that left the greatest impact on me,” he said. “The lessons I learned in the Army—teamwork, discipline, and mission success—continue to shape how I approach every challenge.”

Following his retirement, Jason chose to continue his mission in support of the military as a Senior Project Manager on the Navy Maritime Maintenance Enterprise Solution (NMMES) contract at CACI. With boundless opportunities to make an impact and grow professionally, he plays a key role in driving the success of one of the Navy’s most critical maintenance systems.

Jason’s passion for service extends beyond the workplace through his involvement with Team Red, White, and Blue (Team RWB), a nonprofit that supports veterans through physical and social activities. He is one of 12 veterans currently participating in the Old Glory Ultra Relay, a historic 3,000-mile run from San Diego to Washington, D.C., which aims to break a world record and raise $1 million for veterans’ health programs.

Training for this incredible feat was no small challenge. Jason has been running 60-90 miles a week, with additional cross-training to build strength and endurance. As he prepared, he drew encouragement from the significance of the journey.

“The opportunity to run alongside these veterans with our flag—a powerful symbol of American pride and unity—is a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” he said. “We will finish the relay at the National Mall at the future site of the Global War on Terrorism Memorial, making the conclusion even more significant.”

Jason’s participation in the relay is just one example of how CACI employees’ commitment to service—both to customers and to the military and veteran community—is deeply woven into its culture. Employees are being encouraged to support this extraordinary effort by donating to the campaign and cheering Jason on every step of the way.

Jason joined CACI nearly a decade ago and will soon celebrate his 10-year anniversary with the company. He’s proud to be part of an organization that offers veterans limitless potential to grow, innovate, and make a difference.

“CACI’s commitment to veterans and military resonates deeply with me,” Jason says. “It’s motivating to work alongside a forward-thinking organization that values the contributions of military veterans in such a tangible way. It’s not just about the work we do, but the way we do it—together, with integrity and purpose.”

Discover your limitless potential at CACI.
