The People Behind the Progress: How T-Mobile Is Building a More Resilient Future

T-Mobile is reimagining how a business can grow responsibly, efficiently — and with long-term resilience in mind.

The Un-carrier has pledged to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 by sourcing 100% of its electricity from renewable energy — setting a bold standard in the telecom industry. Since 2020, this vision has resulted in a 33% reduction in total carbon emissions, thanks to a combination of renewable energy sourcing and major energy efficiency upgrades.

By combining innovative thinking with operational discipline, the Un-carrier is taking steps to build a more sustainable future.

For example, T-Mobile has achieved a 73% reduction in energy consumption per petabyte of data since 2019, and its industry-leading 5G network has become more efficient year over year. Improvements in cooling and data center operations have led to an 11% decrease in energy use. With a target to achieve a 95% reduction by 2030, the company is setting the pace.

Sustainability isn’t just a goal — it’s built into how T-Mobile operates and drives value for its business. From smart thermostats and ENERGY STAR lighting to rigorous refurbishment programs for devices, the Un-Carrier is making innovative changes to how it’s harnessing the power of 5G technology solutions, in order to support more sustainable growth. To guide this work, T-Mobile has set out to achieve net-zero emissions across its entire carbon footprint by 2040 — a U.S. wireless industry first. T-Mobile is also a proud participant in global sustainability movements like The Climate Pledge and RE100.

But these numbers only tell part of the story. What makes the impact real is the people who make it possible. And this is their story.

Stay tuned for part 1.

**33% Reduction in total Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions since 2020 using market-based Scope 2 emission figures and excluding Scope 3 indirect use-phase emissions.100% Renewable Electricity: T-Mobile matches its own annual electrical usage with renewable energy from a portfolio of sources including: virtual power purchase agreements, a green direct program, renewable retail agreements, community solar agreements, and unbundled REC purchases.

SLB Capturi Celebrates First Anniversary, Marking a Year of Breakthroughs in Industrial Decarbonization

SLB Capturi — a leading provider of carbon capture technology for industrial sectors — celebrates its first anniversary this month. Since its inception, SLB Capturi has fast-tracked technology development, expanded its geographic reach and demonstrated its ability to scale proven carbon capture solutions globally and across industries.

Major project milestones advance carbon capture

SLB Capturi’s standardized modular and scalable carbon capture technology is enabling industries to decarbonize operations and deliver on their business and climate goals. In the past year, the company has achieved key milestones in several high-profile projects, underscoring the commercial viability and scalability of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS):

  • Pioneering full-scale carbon capture in cement: In Brevik, Norway, SLB Capturi completed the world’s first full-scale carbon capture plant at a cement facility, enabling Heidelberg Materials to produce net-zero cement by capturing up to 400,000 metric tons of CO2 annually. The plant is part of the Longship project, Europe’s first complete value chain for carbon capture and storage (CCS), and has been operational since June 2025.
  • Completing the carbon capture value chain: SLB Capturi delivered and handed over a modular Just Catch™ carbon capture plant at Twence’s waste-to-energy facility in Hengelo, Netherlands. With a capture capacity of 100,000 metric tons of CO2 per year, this project is advancing circular carbon solutions for the horticulture and food sectors, supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy.
  • Advancing carbon capture in bioenergy: Five modular Just Catch plants are under construction for Ørsted’s bioenergy facilities in Kalundborg, Denmark. Designed to capture up to 500,000 metric tons of CO2 annually, these units are a critical component of Denmark’s first full-scale CCS value chain, enabling large-scale negative emissions from bioenergy.
  • Expanding carbon capture for waste-to-energy: SLB Capturi received a contract award for the engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) to deliver the carbon capture solution at Hafslund Celsio’s waste-to-energy facility in Oslo. This second Longship plant will utilize SLB Capturi’s modular Just Catch 400 unit designed to capture 350,000 metric tons of CO2 annually.
  • De-risking carbon capture for the pulp and paper industry in North America: Validated SLB Capturi’s liquid amine carbon capture technology for the pulp and paper sector, clearing the way for commercial-scale carbon removal projects in collaboration with CO280.

Comprehensive lifecycle support and global reach

“SLB Capturi’s modular carbon capture technology combined with SLB’s global footprint and deep expertise in technology industrialization, deployment and operations continue to accelerate the deployment of next-generation carbon capture solutions across industries and regions,” said Katherine Rojas, senior vice president of Industrial Decarbonization, SLB. “Our achievements are important use cases for industrial decarbonization and provide a clear pathway for hard-to-abate sectors to achieve practical, scalable and cost-effective emissions reductions.”

SLB Capturi supports customers across the entire carbon capture plant lifecycle, from early-stage pre-qualification and feasibility studies through to front-end engineering and design (FEED) and all phases of engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning (EPCIC). In its first year, SLB Capturi secured more than 25 new feasibility studies and pre-FEEDs, as well as eight FEEDs, spanning sectors such as waste-to-energy, biomass, metals and minerals, pulp and paper, cement, lime, and gas-to-power projects across the U.S. and Europe. The team has continuously expanded its capacity to engage with strategic partners to de-risk carbon capture technology and increase maturity in projects to accelerate final investment decisions (FID).

Industry leadership and vision for the future

As CCUS projects continue to advance and proliferate in Europe and North America, SLB Capturi is actively expanding through new opportunities that support industrial decarbonization initiatives in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.

“Momentum for industrial decarbonization continues to build as more and more CCUS projects demonstrate the compatibility of emissions reduction and industrial competitiveness,” Rojas added. “SLB Capturi’s technical expertise enables us to evaluate and accelerate modular carbon capture technologies that deliver value for customers and meet the diverse needs of a wide range of industries. We are leading the way to a future where carbon capture-ready projects are a reality, realizing growth from decarbonized power to decarbonized commodities globally.”

Norton and Discovery Education Unite to Encourage Responsible AI Engagement for Students

CHARLOTTE, N.C., September 18, 2025 /3BL/ – Norton, a leading Cyber Safety brand of Gen™, joined the Digital Citizenship Initiative by Discovery Education. The Digital Citizenship Initiative is a dynamic partnership powered by Discovery Education with corporations and non-profit organizations providing students with strategies and resources to navigate their online lives safely. Discovery Education is the creator of essential PreK-12 learning solutions used in classrooms around the world.

As part of the Initiative, Norton will soon offer free standards-aligned classroom resources supporting safe student engagement with Artificial Intelligence (AI). Launching in Q4, the new suite of videos and classroom activities will help students and educators learn how to safely and responsibly use AI. This commitment builds on Norton’s efforts in the digital citizenship space, including through My Digital Life with Discovery Education. The My Digital Life resource center offers free standards-aligned resources designed to empower students with the digital citizenship skills they need to navigate their online lives securely, confidently, and responsibly. In just two years, My Digital Life has reached nearly 415,000 students by helping educators bring digital safety skills into the classroom.

“AI is reshaping how children learn, connect, and express themselves online,” said Kim Allman, Head of Corporate Responsibility and Public Policy, for Norton. “Research shows that 2 in 5 children in the United States are turning to AI for companionship and that many parents find that concerning, underscoring the need for thoughtful guidance and digital literacy skills at home and school.”

The Digital Citizenship Initiative grew out of needs summarized in a recent white paper entitled Risks and Resilience: Why Digital Citizenship Matters in K12 Education. This study illuminated many of the issues facing today’s students, including cyberbullying, online privacy, and digital footprints. This year’s Norton Cyber Safety Insights Report on Connected Kids found that nearly one in four U.S. kids experience cyberbullying and over a quarter turn to AI for emotional support, underscoring the need for guidance around safe online interactions and AI use. Furthermore, the Education Insights 2025–2026: Fueling Learning Through Engagement report showed that while two-thirds of students believe AI can help them learn faster, fewer than half of teachers reporting AI use themselves.

Digital Citizenship Initiative partners also include Verizon and Fortinet. Each partner contributes expert insights to develop standards-aligned digital resources. Resources include ready-to-use materials, digital lessons, the DEMystified series videos, and instructional materials spanning disciplines such as science, health, social studies, and English language arts. Educators can expect quarterly content releases covering a range of topics that address digital citizenship.

To access the Digital Citizenship Initiative resources, please visit digitalcitizenship.discoveryeducation.com. Educators with access to Discovery Education Experience can find these resources on the Digital Citizenship channel.

“Norton has strong experience in both AI technologies and digital literacy. We’re proud to partner with Norton on the Digital Citizenship Initiative,” said Catherine Dunlop, Senior Vice President of Corporate Partnerships at Discovery Education. “Together, we believe that engaging students in responsible AI use and digital literacy is essential to building a safer digital future.”

Fifth Third Again Named Among America’s Climate Leaders by USA Today

CINCINNATI, September 18, 2025 /3BL/ – Fifth Third’s outstanding record of operational sustainability has again been recognized by USA Today, which has named Fifth Third (NASDAQ: FITB) among its America’s Climate Leaders 2025.

The publication’s third annual list, published in partnership with Statista, Inc., provides a data-driven evaluation of companies that have significantly decreased their greenhouse gas emissions, including emission intensity, year-over-year reductions, and carbon disclosure ratings.

“Fifth Third has had a long-standing commitment to environmental leadership in the financial services sector,” said Pratik Raval, chief sustainability officer for Fifth Third. “We are driven by our understanding that integrating environmental sustainability into our business creates long-term value for our customers and strengthens the communities we serve.”

America’s Climate Leaders uses public data to rank companies doing the most to reduce their carbon footprint. To make the list, companies must have reduced their carbon intensity (carbon emissions divided by revenue) by 3% year-to-year.

Fifth Third has reduced greenhouse gas emissions in the areas of building operations, corporate transport and business travel by 60% since 2014. Fifth Third measures and reports on its corporate greenhouse gas emissions using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol methodology with third-party verification of its calculations.

“Operational sustainability, the reduction of Fifth Third’s own environmental and carbon footprint, has been key to our environmental sustainability program since the program’s inception in 2010,” Raval said.

Over the past decade, Fifth Third has achieved:

  • 60% reduction in location-based (Scope 1 & 2) greenhouse gas emissions
  • 46% reduction in energy use
  • 34% reduction in potable water use
  • 59% waste diverted from landfills
  • 65%reduction in paper use
  • 100% renewable power purchased

Fifth Third also reduced enterprise-wide energy usage by 46% since 2014 – surpassing its 40% goal – through optimized use of space, new construction and renovations, and enhanced facility-related operations and maintenance practices.

In August, Fifth Third celebrated six years of purchasing 100% renewable power, originally as part of a virtual power purchase agreement with the 80 MW Aulander Holloman solar facility in North Carolina.

As part of its sustainability commitment, Fifth Third has also set a target of providing $100 billion in environmental and social finance (sustainable finance) by 2030. Through 2024, the bank has provided $45.33 billion in sustainable finance toward that goal.

More information about Fifth Third’s commitment to sustainability can be found on Fifth Third’s Investor Relations website.
