Month: July 2026

AEG employees came together on July 19 to participate in the 2026 Long Beach Legacy Triathlon, raising more than $18,000 in support of Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (CHLA). The funds will help advance critical pediatric cancer research, treatment, and care programs, providing hope and support to children and families facing some of life’s most difficult challenges. 

More than 35 employees from across AEG and its businesses took part in this year’s event, representing AXS, Ontario Reign, Crypto.com Arena, Peacock Theater, LA Kings, LA Galaxy, AEG Presents, Dignity Health Sports Park, and the company’s corporate offices. Together, team members completed the triathlon’s swim, bike, and run course alongside hundreds of athletes from across Southern California. 

Through their collective fundraising efforts, the AEG Tri Team raised $18,255, contributing vital resources that will support CHLA’s world-class patient care, groundbreaking research, and family-centered services. The achievement reflects AEG’s longstanding commitment to giving back and creating positive impact in the communities where its employees live and work. 

For more than a decade, the AEG Tri Team has combined fitness, teamwork, and philanthropy to make a meaningful difference. Over the past 12 years, employees have raised more than $200,000 for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, demonstrating the power of collective action and shared purpose. 

The annual triathlon also serves as an opportunity for employees from across the organization to connect, support one another, and champion a cause that extends far beyond race day. Every swim stroke, mile cycled, and step taken represented AEG’s commitment to community engagement, employee wellness, and helping improve the lives of children and families in need. 

As AEG continues to invest in the communities it serves around the world, initiatives like the AEG Tri Team exemplify how employees can come together to create lasting and meaningful impact. 

 

In commemoration of Juneteenth, this year’s community initiative delivered brand-new basketball courts and a new turf practice field to support local youth.

Whirlpool Corporation recently celebrated its fifth annual “Day of Impact,” an initiative dedicated to fostering resilient, thriving and enduring neighborhoods in the company’s headquarters community of Benton Harbor, Michigan. In collaboration with Benton Harbor Area Schools and to commemorate Juneteenth, 40 volunteers, consisting of Whirlpool Corp. employees, school officials and city leaders, revitalized the outdoor basketball courts located behind Benton Harbor High School (BHHS).

For generations, basketball has been an important through line in Benton Harbor—from the community courts to the school’s basketball program—establishing BHHS as a powerhouse in Michigan high school sports. While the school’s indoor gymnasium holds nearly 70 years of history, the outdoor courts function as the public extension of that legacy, remaining a valued space for youth development, mentorship, and community gathering.

“When our employees and community partners join forces to champion the needs of local youth, we turn vision into lasting impact.”

“By rolling up our sleeves, we’re building on an incredible legacy,” said Traci Robinson, managing director of the Whirlpool Foundation. “When our employees and community partners join forces to champion the needs of local youth, we turn vision into lasting impact.”

The gameplan for this year’s “Day of Impact” extended beyond basketball with volunteers also helping to install a new turf practice field, providing BHHS athletes with the same resources as neighboring schools.

Once completed, the outdoor courts and turf field will be fully integrated into the school’s physical education curriculum and athletic programs. 

Highlights from the 2026 “Day of Impact” project include:

• Site Reclamation & Improvement: Removal of existing asphalt, fresh landscaping and custom signage
• Court Installation: Two brand-new basketball courts with professional-grade painting
• Premium Equipment: Four professional-grade posts and backboards, plus four sets of 4-row bleachers.
• Enhanced Accessibility: A newly paved walkway connecting facilities
• New Playing Field: The addition of a state-of-the-art turf practice field

Whirlpool Corporation’s “Day of Impact” initiative began in 2021, with revitalizations of Union Park completed in 2022, June Woods Park in 2023, Charles Yarbrough Park in 2024 and Morton Park in 2025.

CONSTANȚA, Romania, July 22, 2026 /3BL/ – DP World and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) have signed a loan agreement of up to €25 million to support the electrification of operations at DP World’s Constanța South Container Terminal. The financing is the terminal’s first dedicated green loan and forms part of a €100 million investment programme that will reduce CO₂ emissions by more than 6,000 tonnes per year.

The investment marks a significant step in DP World’s decarbonisation strategy in Romania and supports the transition to lower-emission port operations. By replacing ageing diesel-powered equipment with electric alternatives and introducing shore power for vessels at berth, the project will improve air quality, reduce noise and increase operational reliability for customers.

The electrification programme combines financing from the EBRD with grants from the European Union and the Romanian government. Alongside the EBRD loan, the project is being delivered with a €19.7 million grant under the EU’s Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Facility (AFIF), part of the Connecting Europe Facility, with the EBRD acting as the EU’s implementing partner. It has also received €7.5 million in funding under Romania’s Transport Programme 2021–2027.

The investment comprises two components. The first, representing an investment of €53.8 million, will establish the core electrification infrastructure, including new electrical networks, transformer and distribution facilities, as well as shore power systems enabling vessels to connect to the port grid while at berth. It will also include a new connection to the main port power station and grid, the rehabilitation of access roads and the introduction of 10 electric terminal tractors and chargers.

The second component, representing an investment of €46.2 million, will cover equipment including electric, remote-operated rubber-tyred gantry cranes, two electric mobile harbour cranes and additional electric terminal tractors.

Svitlana Balaban, CEO, DP World Constanța, said: “In today’s trading environment, the most competitive ports are the most sustainable ports. This investment reflects that fact by aligning the growth of the Constanța South Container Terminal with DP World’s global commitment to reducing emissions. By electrifying our operations, we are not just helping customers build more resilient and sustainable supply chains, we are also strengthening Constanța’s position as the Black Sea’s leading green container hub.”

Victoria Zinchuk, EBRD Director for Romania, said: “This is a landmark investment in Romania, which will not only strengthen the Port of Constanța’s role as a strategic logistics hub on the Black Sea, but also deliver significant energy-efficiency gains for the country’s logistics sector. We are delighted to partner with DP World on this first transaction to support the modernisation of the Port of Constanța and demonstrate that competitiveness and decarbonisation can go hand in hand. We look forward to more future cooperation.”

The electrification of the Constanța South Container Terminal is the latest in a long series of investments DP World has made to expand and modernise its operations in Constanța. In 2024, it opened a new project cargo terminal and a roll-on/roll-off (RO-RO) terminal following a €65 million investment. In December 2025, the company also completed a 119,000 m² multimodal platform. These investments have further strengthened the terminal’s role as a strategic gateway between Central Europe, the Black Sea region, Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova.
