Sigenergy Marks Topping-Out of New Smart Manufacturing Hub

NANTONG, China, Aug. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Sigenergy today announced the topping-out of its smart manufacturing hub in Nantong, Jiangsu, China, marking a major milestone in the company’s global manufacturing expansion. Following the groundbreaking earlier this year, the project has reached another key stage toward production, bringing the facility closer to operational readiness.

Topping-Out Ceremony of Sigenergy’s Smart Manufacturing Hub in Nantong

As one of Sigenergy’s core production bases, the Nantong Smart Manufacturing Hub plays a pivotal role in the company’s globalization strategy. It will support large-scale delivery of inverters, residential and C&I energy storage systems (PACK), and energy gateways.

PSEG: Making Energy Assistance More Accessible for Our Customers

At PSE&G, one of our company values is being our customer’s trusted partner and having their backs. That value is important now more than ever amid rising energy costs, which are the result of PJM’s capacity price auction. As part of our efforts to support our customers during this time, we’re expanding outreach to help people access payment assistance programs and energy efficiency programs that can make a real difference.

We estimate that only 20% of people who are currently eligible for assistance in our service territory are taking advantage of programs and that another 140,000 people across the state are eligible for assistance but not currently receiving help.

Connecting people to programs

This summer, we are hosting a series of in-person “Energy Assistance Days” across our service area aimed at bringing help directly to the communities we serve – so far, we’ve visited Camden, Trenton, Cliffside Park and Union City, with more events in the works. These events are designed to be one-stop-shops where our customers can:

  • Learn about and sign up for payment assistance programs, including state and federal resources. (While we do not administer these programs, we’re here to help people sign up and complete necessary forms.)
  • Get connected to energy efficiency programs that help reduce energy use and lower monthly bills.
  • Ask questions face-to-face with our representatives and community partners to listen and provide support.

“These events are focused on making energy assistance more accessible,” said Rosa Pagnillo-Lopez, process lead for PSE&G Payment Assistance Outreach. “We have people on-site to walk customers through the application process. Our goal is to remove some of the barriers that can sometimes keep people from getting the help they need.”

The aim is to connect people with programs they may qualify for based on certain criteria like income eligibility (i.e. the Universal Service Fund, or SHARES for customers who may be experiencing a temporary financial crisis). Energy Assistance Days also provide information on our cost-saving energy efficiency programs.

We also offer bill payment tools to help customers manage costs, including our Equal Payment Plan and Deferred Payment Arrangements. Our Equal Payment Plan estimates annual energy costs, and divides bills into 12 equal monthly payments, eliminating the seasonal highs and lows of energy bills. Deferred Payment Arrangements allow customers to pay a portion of past-due balances over an agreed-upon period.

Partnering with community groups for a broader impact

We’re also working closely with trusted nonprofit organizations and community groups. These partnerships are essential for reaching populations who may not be aware of available programs or who may face challenges navigating application processes.

In June, our Regional Public Affairs team invited 30 nonprofits and local officials to an event held at Montclair State University aimed at providing accurate, up-to-date information about payment assistance and energy-saving opportunities that could then be shared with those receiving services from those nonprofits. Participating nonprofits included the Boys & Girls Club of Paterson and Passaic and the Hudson County Economic Development Corporation, among others that partner with the PSEG Foundation.

“At HCEDC, we understand that timely, accurate information is not a luxury—it’s a necessity for the businesses we serve,” said Michelle Richardson, Executive Director of the Hudson County Economic Development Corporation. “Our role is to stay on the ground, respond quickly to shifts, and ensure our business community is equipped to make informed decisions—today and for the future. PSE&G’s proactive communication during a time of economic uncertainty reflects the kind of collaborative partnership our vision depends on—and we commend their intentionality.”

According to Richardson, her organization planned to broadly share the information we presented with members of the Hudson County Economic Development Corporation.

“I came out today looking for help. I got it,” she added about the event.

The Montclair event also included the support of some state and local elected officials. One of those attendees was State Sen. Paul Sarlo, the chair of the New Jersey Senate’s Budget and Appropriations Committee. Sen. Sarlo – who is also the mayor of Wood-Ridge – has led joint hearings on energy affordability.

“We all need to partner and work together to keep energy affordable,” Sen. Sarlo said. “This event highlights the need for partnership and the need to explore long-term solutions. PSE&G is clearly trying to step up to the plate, and I thank them for working with the legislature and nonprofits during this challenging time.”

We also hosted a similar event in South Jersey earlier in June to connect with nonprofits in that part of our service territory. A Central Jersey event for nonprofits is in the works for the fall.

Looking ahead

While we deliver safe and reliable electricity and gas to millions of customers across New Jersey, the recent electric supply rate increase is outside of our control. What the utility can control is how we support customers in managing costs, which is why community events are so critical.

SpringGreen Welcomes New Franchise Owners in Houston, TX

HOUSTON, Aug. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SpringGreen is pleased to welcome Trent Bishop and Clyde Samples as new franchise owners through the acquisition of Roland Freund’s 20 year-old business. Roland leaves with a strong legacy throughout the Greater Woodlands and Conroe communities where he and his team have been embedded for two decades.

Bishop brings more than three decades of leadership experience, including starting and running his own business in the past. Throughout his career, he has led large teams, managed multi-million-dollar budgets, and built strong organizational cultures centered on accountability and growth.

Now, he is channeling that expertise into their SpringGreen, where he sees an opportunity to build a business with both immediate and long-term potential. While Bishop will continue working in his current profession, he has partnered with his cousin Clyde Samples, who will oversee the day-to-day management of the franchise. Some of his children also plan to contribute, making this a family-supported venture.

“I’ve always been drawn to the idea of franchising because it allows you to follow a proven process while still building something of your own,” Bishop said. “SpringGreen stood out to me because of the systems, support, and reputation in the green industry. I’m excited to grow this business and make an impact in the Houston community.”

Bishop’s short-term goal is to reach their first $1 million revenue milestone, with ambitions to continue scaling from there. He is especially focused on creating a positive culture within his team—one rooted in transparency, servant leadership, and delivering an excellent customer experience.

When asked what advice he’d give others considering business ownership, Bishop shared: “Dare to dream. We live in the best country in the world that provides opportunity—believe in yourself and take the chance.”

“Trent’s experience as a proven leader and his passion for building strong teams make him an outstanding addition to our franchise network,” said Brad Johnson, President of SpringGreen. “We look forward to supporting him, Clyde and their families as they grow in the Houston market.”

Building the Future of Trade at Santos: How DP World Is Expanding With Purpose

When Brazil’s Minister of Ports and Airports, Silvio Costa Filho, visited DP World in Santos this August, it wasn’t just another ceremony marking the start of construction. It was a moment that captured the intersection of infrastructure growth, supply chain resilience, and environmental stewardship – three forces shaping the future of trade in Brazil.

Expanding Brazil’s Gateway to the World

The Port of Santos is the beating heart of Brazil’s logistics network. By 2026, DP World’s latest expansion will add 190 meters of quay to the terminal — 40 meters dedicated to pulp exports and 150 meters to container operations. This extension will push capacity to 1.7 million TEUs per year, a critical boost for a port that already handled 1.25 million TEUs in 2024, up 14% from the year before.

For Fabio Siccherino, CEO of DP World in Brazil, the expansion is about more than numbers:

“This project strengthens the competitiveness of the Port of Santos while ensuring greater capacity, efficiency, and sustainability to support multiple supply chains.”

The investment is part of Brazil’s Growth Acceleration Program (PAC) and builds on more than BRL 3 billion DP World has already directed into technology and infrastructure at Santos since 2013.

A Terminal That Grows — and Protects

Growth, however, brings responsibility. Ports are engines of commerce, but they’re also neighbors to ecosystems and communities. At Santos, DP World has made sustainability an equal priority to expansion.

Since the terminal’s early days, the company has invested nearly BRL 12 million across more than 30 environmental projects. One standout is the Aquatic Fauna Monitoring Program, a science-based initiative recognized by Brazil’s national environmental agency, Ibama. Over more than a decade, researchers have recorded 38 marine species thriving around the quay’s submerged pillars – proof that, with careful management, industrial infrastructure can coexist with marine biodiversity.

Sustainability at Santos also extends to operations. A Zero Landfill initiative ensures that waste is composted, recycled, or otherwise diverted from landfills. Investments in rail connectivity help shift cargo from trucks to trains, cutting emissions while easing congestion. Together, these efforts position DP World in Santos as a model for how ports can grow while reducing their footprint.

Beyond the Port: Building a Connected Brazil

DP World’s role in Brazil goes far beyond terminal operations. By integrating port services with freight forwarding, inland transportation, warehousing, and distribution, the company is creating a more resilient logistics ecosystem. That connectivity is critical not just for exporters of pulp and agricultural products, but also for manufacturers, retailers, and consumers who depend on efficient, predictable supply chains.

A Sustainable Vision for Trade

The Santos expansion is more than a local project – it reflects DP World’s global sustainability roadmap. From electrifying port equipment in Chile and Peru, to piloting hydrogen-powered cranes in Canada, the company is advancing toward its target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

DP World’s sustainability program, “Our World, Our Future”, provides the framework guiding these initiatives. Whether it’s restoring mangroves in Ecuador, achieving Green Marine certification in Canada, or investing in renewable energy across Latin America, the company is proving that trade and environmental stewardship can move forward together.

As DP World drives the first piles into the waters of Santos, the message is clear: ports are not just gateways for goods. They are platforms for innovation, responsibility, and growth. And at Santos, that future is already being built – pile by pile, shipment by shipment.

Logitech Releases Fiscal 2025 Sustainability Impact Highlights

  • Carbon Emissions: Logitech reduced Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 53% and Scope 3 emissions by 13% against baseline years.
  • Recycled Materials: Use of recycled plastic now implemented in 78% of all Logitech products, a 5% increase from last year.
  • Renewable Energy: Logitech achieved 93% renewable electricity usage across its major offices and production facilities.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland and SAN JOSE, Calif., August 27, 2025 /3BL/ – Logitech International (SIX: LOGN) (Nasdaq: LOGI) today shared progress on its sustainability goals from its Fiscal Year 2025 impact highlights report.

This past fiscal year, Logitech cut its direct and indirect emissions (Scope 1 & 2) by 53 percent and its value chain emissions (Scope 3) by 13 percent against its baseline years[1]. Carbon reduction programs across the company resulted in the elimination or avoidance of nearly 170,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2024.

“At Logitech, we know innovative, sustainable design matters to our customers.” said Hanneke Faber, CEO of Logitech. “By intentionally designing for sustainability – choosing lower-impact materials, reducing energy use, and cutting out waste at every turn – we are providing superior products and delivering measurable carbon footprint reductions. As our company grows, we will remain focused on delighting users while reducing absolute product carbon impact over the long-term.”

Designing for Sustainability

Logitech’s design process considers sustainability at every stage of product development: From design, to engineering, manufacturing, marketing and sales. In this year’s Sustainability Impact Highlights Report, the impact of ‘Designing for Sustainability’ is evident:

  • Logitech’s “Next Life” recycled plastics program has scaled significantly, with 78 percent of all products now containing recycled materials[2].
  • Globally, 93 percent of Logitech’s electricity footprint comes from renewable purchases[3]. In 2024, the company also helped 64 suppliers purchase renewable energy, to address more than 90,000 tCO2e associated with supply chain manufacturing, the equivalent of 170,000+ MWh.
  • Logitech increased its use of low-carbon or recycled aluminum to 48 percent of applicable products[4].
  • Logitech’s transition from plastic to paper for its hallmark mice category is nearly complete. This action removed an estimated 660 tonnes of plastic and avoided 6,000 tons of carbon dioxide from entering the air – the equivalent of eliminating the weight of 37+ million single-use water bottles annually[5].
  • 25 percent of all Logitech product packaging is now FSCTM-certified,[6] up from 19 percent last year.
  • Logitech expanded its carbon transparency program with 84 percent of products now labeled with a third-party reviewed carbon footprint[7].
  • To design for longevity, Logitech now offers spare parts and repair guides for more than 20 products in more than 60 countries.

Inclusive by Design

Logitech’s sustainability efforts extend to social initiatives. The company continues to support programs like #WomenWhoMaster and Girls Who Code to enable women in technical fields. Through partnerships with organizations including AbleGamers Charity and Adaptive Action Sports, Logitech also works to create professional esports opportunities for gamers with disabilities.
