Month: February 2026
MEXICO CITY, Feb. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — FIBRA Prologis (BMV: FIBRAPL 14), one of the leading owners and operators of Class A industrial real estate in Mexico, announces that on February 18, 2026, Terrafina (“TERRA“) (BMV: TERRA13), a subsidiary trust of Fibra Prologis, received from the National Banking and Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores, the “CNBV“) the official notice authorizing the cancellation of the registration of the real estate trust certificates (certificados bursátiles fiduciarios inmobiliarios) issued by Terrafina (the “CBFIs“) in the National Securities Registry (Registro Nacional de Valores, the “RNV“). Such authorization was granted in accordance with the resolutions adopted by Terrafina’s CBFI holders’ meeting held on December 1, 2025, at which its holders approved, among other matters, the cancellation of the registration of Terrafina’s CBFIs in the RNV.
As a result of such authorization Terrafina has carried out the process of delisting its CBFIs from the Mexican Stock Exchange (Bolsa Mexicana de Valores, S.A.B. de C.V.) (the “BMV“), and therefore, Terrafina’s CBFIs have ceased to be listed and traded on such stock exchange.
In this respect, Fibra Prologis hereby informs the public that, following the disclosure made in the last tender offer for the acquisition of Terrafina’s CBFIs made by Fibra Prologis and which concluded on November 12, 2025 (the “Tender Offer”), on February 16, 2026 Fibra Prologis incorporated a payment trust to which it contributed the necessary cash so that the holders of Terrafina’s CBFIs who have not attended the Tender Offer and have the intention to do so, may sell, for a period of six months, and at the same price as in the Tender Offer (i.e. MXN$42.5 pesos per CBFI), the Terrafina’s CBFIs that have not yet been acquired by Fibra Prologis.
The investing public is hereby informed that any additional information related to this process may be consulted through Terrafina’s official communication channels.

Cascale recently joined a first-year course at the Parsons School of Design, part of The New School, to engage the next generation of designers on sustainability systems and supply chain realities.
The February 12 session took place within “Sustainable Systems,” a foundational course reaching all first-year Parsons students, approximately 1,300 students annually. Joleen Ong, Cascale’s senior director of brand and retailer membership, presented to the class. She introduced Cascale’s role as a global alliance convening brands, retailers, manufacturers, and stakeholders to drive measurable progress across the consumer goods value chain.
Students then presented findings from a traceability assignment that challenged them to map an item back to its factory and material origins.
The exchange underscored the growing interest among emerging designers in advancing sustainable design approaches in the existing and future sustainability landscape. Questions from students covered topics related to systems change, Cascale membership, NGO stakeholder engagement, and access to the Higg Index.
Since 2014, Parsons has required students to take sustainable design curriculum. As part of this focus, Parsons faculty is exploring ways to embed more sustainability coursework into the core and advanced curriculum. As a starting point, Cascale has been invited to participate as a recurring guest contributor in this required course, as well as others.
Shaping upstream talent entering the apparel and footwear industry is a powerful opportunity to embed systems-level sustainability from day one. Today’s students are tomorrow’s sustainability leads, sourcing managers, and Higg Index users. By connecting early with future practitioners, Cascale looks to strengthen the foundation for credible measurement, aligned standards, and collective action across the industry.
DENTON, Texas, February 19, 2026 /3BL/ – The Carton Council today announced continued growth in carton recycling access across the United States. In 2025, nearly 2.5 million additional households gained the ability to recycle food and beverage cartons, a figure that represents approximately 1.5% of all American households:
- Household growth in 2025 (net): 2,464,653
- 2025 year-end access: 63%
- Recycling programs that include cartons (by household): 86%
Carton recycling access is tracked through an independent third-party that measures whether households have a local recycling program that includes cartons. Today, 63% of U.S. households have access to carton recycling programs – up from 18% in 2009 when the Carton Council was founded. Residents can transparently view recycling access using the Carton Council’s address locator tool.
“Real-world recycling begins with household access,” said Jordan Fengel, Executive Director of the Carton Council. “Before a material can be sorted and recycled, residents must be able to place cartons in the recovery stream. This growth reflects direct collaboration with communities, recyclers, and policymakers to strengthen the recycling system.”
The Recycling Partnership has indicated that approximately 73% of U.S. households have access to recycling services. The Carton Council’s data indicates cartons are accepted in the vast majority of programs (86% by household), demonstrating broad compatibility with existing collection systems.
Diverse Community Partnerships Drive 2025 Growth
Because many regions already offer recycling services, recent progress increasingly comes from targeted improvements that are aligned with local capacity and existing infrastructure. Several 2025 additions illustrate this range of approaches:
- Austin, Texas
An expanded MRF partnership added carton access for approximately 500,000 households and created a foundation for future expansion into nearby communities. - Marion County, Florida
Targeted outreach supported the implementation of county-wide drop-off recycling, bringing access to about 127,000 households. - Robeson County, North Carolina
Updated program guidance provides roughly 35,000 households with county-wide drop-off recycling. - Cedar Falls, Iowa
Coordination with municipal staff established city-wide drop-off access for approximately 16,000 households. - Titusville, Florida
A curbside recycling program update added cartons to accepted materials for about 21,000 households. - Oregon – Statewide
With packaging extended producer responsibility (EPR) now active in Oregon, better aligned collection lists led to 627,000 households gaining access to carton recycling (38% increase).
“At this stage, progress happens one program at a time,” said Jason Pelz, Vice President of Recycling at the Carton Council. “We’re working directly with local governments and material recovery facilities to update accepted material lists, optimize sortation, and ensure cartons enter recycling streams. Each community addition strengthens supply for established and emerging recycling end markets.”
Access remains the entry point that enables the rest of the system to function. The 2025 increase reflects continued coordinated growth across collection programs, sorting facilities, and recyclers – demonstrating steady, measurable improvement in real-world recycling infrastructure.

NEW YORK, February 19, 2026 /3BL/ – Discussing responsible leadership in an era of shared challenges, leading CEOs who are a part of a coalition of more than 200 of the world’s largest companies collectively representing $8.3 trillion in annual revenue and $33 billion in total community investment attended Chief Executives for Corporate Purpose’s© (CECP) Board of Boards this week in New York, New York.
This closed-door, CEO-only session provided a distinct opportunity for CEOs to discuss how they can connect their investments in their people and communities and their corporate purpose to the business strategy.
CEO discussion leaders included:
- Brian Moynihan, Chair, President & CEO, Bank of America
- Dave Ricks, Chair and Chief Executive Officer, Eli Lilly and Company
- Richard Dickson, President & CEO, Gap Inc.
- Richard Edelman, President & CEO, Edelman
- Nancy Chung, Management Committee and Executive Committee Member, Managing Partner of the New York office, Head of the Litigation group in New York, and Co-Head of the global Investment Funds Litigation practice, Sidley Austin LLP
Key Takeaways
- When asked for words to describe how they were feeling, attending CEOs noted that they felt uncertain, disappointed, unsettled, tentative, and frustrated. Further takeaways include:
- Purpose and profit are increasingly inseparable. Genuine purpose — not performative CSR — is now a core business strategy that drives employee retention, consumer trust, and long-term growth.
- A company has permission from the public to operate when it feels the value your company provides.
- Focus on those who might not benefit from your company’s innovations right away.
- CEOs must navigate a set of compounding pressures. Economic and geopolitical volatility, accelerating AI transformation, shareholder activism, and regulatory scrutiny are all hitting at once, demanding agility rather than relying on long-term static plans.
- Without purpose, democracy and capitalism will not survive.
- A collective of companies need to step up on vital issues to encourage those who may not step up on their own.
- Workforce development is a major differentiator. Whether it’s hiring underserved youth, career-trajectory wage increases, or the broader push for skills-first hiring over four-year degrees, companies that invest in their people — especially entry-level workers — are seeing real business returns.
- Companies can be clearer on what they want people to do. Companies weren’t meaning enough to anyone.
- An employee can’t have a relationship with a brand without empathy, inclusion, and belonging.
- AI governance, not just adoption, is the real leadership challenge. The conversation has shifted from “are you using AI?” to “is it delivering value and do you have oversight?” Unintended consequences, regulatory divergence, and cybersecurity risks are now boardroom-level concerns.
- AI mirrors what humanity wants it to be; we have a choice in what we do with these new tools.
- Chase trust; we better trust what we are building.
- Authenticity inside the organization has to come before external storytelling. Purpose-driven messaging only lands when it’s genuinely felt by employees first. Culture, internal communications, and meaningful day-to-day connection to mission are what make external narratives credible.
“The Board of Boards provides a forum for CEOs to candidly share their experiences—both successes and setbacks—in embedding purpose at the heart of their organizations,” said Daryl Brewster, CEO of CECP. “In an increasingly complex and unpredictable environment, these leaders rely on corporate purpose as their compass for navigating critical decisions and driving meaningful impact.”
The event was limited to CECP CEOs, and the list of attendees included:
- Amit Bajaj, President, TCS North America, Tata Consultancy Services
- Arianna Huffington, Founder & CEO, Thrive Global
- Bill Rogers, CEO and Chairman, Truist Financial
- Bijal Shah, CEO, Guild
- Brian Shaw, CEO, Discovery Education
- C. Thomas Evans Jr., Interim CEO, Secretary & General Counsel, Kemper Corporation
- Darrel Hackett, US CEO, Bank of Montreal
- Doug Conant, Founder & CEO, ConantLeadership
- Fred Khosravi, CEO, Imperative Care
- John Wood, Vice Chairman, Heidrick & Struggles International, Inc.
- Jon Clifton, CEO, Gallup
- Karthik Rao, CEO, Nielsen
- Kecia Steelman, CEO, Ulta Beauty
- Margaret Rogers, CEO, Pariveda
- Jon Clifton, CEO, Gallup
- Mark Weinberger, Former Global Chairman and CEO, EY
- Michael Brandstaedter, President & CEO, The Topps Company
- Sara Armbruster, President and CEO, Steelcase
- Shelly Lazarus, Chairman Emeritus, Ogilvy
- Soraya Alexander, CEO, Benevity
- Steve Beard, Chairman & CEO, Covista
- Theodore Dysart, Vice Chairman, Russell Reynolds
This year’s 2026 Sandy Weill Force for Good honorees, recognized at the event, are:
- Brian Moynihan, Chair, President & CEO, Bank of America
- Dave Ricks, Chair and Chief Executive Officer, Eli Lilly and Company
- Richard Dickson, President & CEO, Gap Inc.
The Sandy Weill Force for Good honorees advocate on behalf of their companies to create a better world through business, and the recognition acknowledges a CEO’s leadership in the community and within their companies.
Additionally, this year’s Lawrence A. Wien Legacy Award honoree is Ginni Rometty. Ginni Rometty was the ninth Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer of IBM. Under her leadership, the 100-year-old company reinvented 50 percent of its portfolio, built a $25 billion hybrid cloud business, and established leadership in AI and quantum computing. Rometty also drove record results in workforce transformation and supported the explosive growth of an innovative high school program to prepare the workforce of the future in over twenty-eight countries. She was named Fortune’s #1 Most Powerful Woman three years in a row, is a member of the National Academy of Engineering, and has been honored with the designation of Officier in the French Légion d’Honneur. Today, Rometty serves on multiple boards and cochairs OneTen, a coalition of companies driving a SkillsFirst movement to unlock career opportunities for talent without four-year degrees. She is the author of the bestselling book Good Power: Creating Positive Change in Our Lives, Work and World. She exemplifies CECP founder Paul Newman’s belief that businesses can always “do more”, where CEOs’ purpose-driven and values-first work raise the bar.
CECP also thanks Sidley Austin LLP for hosting the event, Your Cause by Blackbaud for its support of all of CECP’s events, and the Empire State Building for lighting in CECP Blue.
The 2027 Board of Boards will be held in New York City. Interested CEOs can reach out to info@cecp.co.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Paralyzed Veterans of America Chief Executive Officer Carl Blake released the following statement in response to the Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) decision to pause enforcement of its recent interim final rule impacting veterans’ disability ratings.
“Paralyzed Veterans of America applauds VA’s decision to halt enforcement of the interim final rule, which would have based ratings decisions on the health of the veteran with the aid of medication. The nearly universal negative response from veterans shows that the VA did not fully consider the potentially harmful impacts of this decision. We look forward to working with Secretary Collins and his leadership team to better understand their goals and to find ways to address their concerns while ensuring veterans’ well-being remains the top priority.”
