Pannawish Tanthawichian was a participating high school student in the Otis Made to Move Communities™ challenge in 2022-23. Now he’s leaving his home in Thailand with a scholarship to study computer science at University of Toronto in Canada, and he credits his experience with Otis for helping him get there.

His pursuit of an education in a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) field exemplifies one of the core objectives of the Made to Move Communities program – to inspire a lifelong interest in STEM, and advance STEM and leadership skills to help build the next generation of talent.

Tanthawichian’s team from Kamnoetvidya Science (KVIS) Academy won the Otis Asia-Pacific region competition in the Made to Move Communities challenge with their design of a computer program that forecasts floods in Thailand. The solution was personal for him – his grandparents’ home in Phuket was damaged by floods.

In his application to the University of Toronto, Tanthawichian highlighted his experience with the Made to Move Communities program, describing the skills learned and developed through the program. The university accepted him and awarded him the Lester B. Pearson International Scholarship. Tanthawichian will attend the University of Toronto starting this fall.

“I’m really thankful for the opportunities made possible by taking part in the MTMC challenge,” Tanthawichian said.

About the Made to Move Communities program

Launched in 2020, the Made to Move Communities program engages young minds to explore real-world mobility challenges and develop innovative solutions with the potential to create more connected communities and improve mobility for all. This initiative brings together students, educators, and Otis colleagues as mentors with the purpose of advancing STEM and leadership skills to help build the next generation of talent, ensuring future workforce readiness, and sustaining innovation.

Each year, the program focuses on a different theme that aligns with global priorities, such as sustainability, accessibility or technology. This year’s theme challenged students to incorporate AI into their inclusive mobility solution. The program encourages students to think critically and creatively, applying STEM principles to address mobility-related issues. Through workshops, mentorship, and collaboration, participants gain valuable insights and skills that prepare them for future careers while making a positive impact on society. Each participating school receives a grant at the conclusion of the program to support ongoing STEM education in their schools.

PORTLAND, Ore., June 2, 2025 /3BL/ – The Global Electronics Council^® (GEC) today announced the launch of the Supplier Engagement Program (SEP) for EPEAT^®, a new global resource platform designed to accelerate sustainable leadership across electronics supply chains. The program equips suppliers of EPEAT Participating Manufacturers with resources to help meet the updated EPEAT criteria, drive responsible manufacturing practices, and position themselves as indispensable partners to leading electronics brands.

As electronics brands face growing expectations for environmental and social accountability, over 40% of the updated EPEAT Criteria now extend into the supply chain, requiring more collaboration with EPEAT Participating Manufacturers and their suppliers to achieve EPEAT product registration.

Launching this month, the Supplier Engagement Program for EPEAT delivers:

• A dynamic training hub featuring presentations, videos, and curated e-learning resources on EPEAT Criteria and implementation best practices
• Actionable implementation tools and templates to help suppliers efficiently meet required and optional EPEAT criteria
• Exclusive live and on-demand webinars, regional seminars, and workshops offering direct access to GEC and EPEAT experts
• Recognition for participating suppliers, signaling leadership in responsible, sustainable electronics

“Brands can’t achieve their sustainability goals alone,” said Bob Mitchell, CEO of the Global Electronics Council. ” It takes a connected, capable supply chain. The Supplier Engagement Program for EPEAT further enables suppliers as partners in sustainable product development, giving them the tools and recognition they need to lead alongside EPEAT Participating Manufacturers.”

The program is open to all tier 1 and tier 2 suppliers of EPEAT Participating Manufacturers in the electronics value chain, regardless of size, product category, or location.

“Asus is very excited about this new opportunity to streamline value chain training on the new EPEAT criteria and increase supplier collaboration to boost further development of sustainable electronics” a representative from the company commented.

By Molly Frey, Frey Vineyards

Frey Vineyards sits at the heart of Mendocino County in Redwood Valley, tucked into the hills of Northern California. There, the Frey family grows organic grapes in organic vineyards and makes organic wine. Wine Enthusiast awarded Mendocino County the AVA (American Viticultural Area) of the Year award for 2024, in large part due to the sustainable winery practices in this area. Mendocino County is California’s greenest AVA, in large part, thanks to the efforts of the Frey family’s presence here. In addition to championing Organics and Biodynamics in winemaking, the Frey family has purchased tons of grapes over the years from local wineries, thereby encouraging the growers in the area to go Organic or Biodynamic.

What distinguishes Frey from many other businesses is that many of the family members work and live at Frey Vineyards. When Jonathan and Katrina Frey established Frey Vineyards, they were really organic farmers that took an opportunity to pioneer the organic wine movement here in the United States. They weren’t businesspeople looking to capitalize on a niche market; they were a family devoted to organic farming and gardening that decided to create the organic category in viticulture and winemaking. Their savvy business sense came out of the necessity of wanting to and needing to promote the category of Organics.

CAMDEN, N.J., June 2, 2025 /3BL/ – Subaru of America, Inc. today announced a major milestone, marking the tenth consecutive year of partnering with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society® (LLS) as part of its Subaru Loves to Care® initiative. As the largest automotive donor to LLS, Subaru and its retailers are committed to supporting children and families affected by blood cancer, and by the end of 2025, will have helped nearly 500,000 cancer patients nationwide.

The treatment and recovery for blood cancer patients can be long, difficult, and emotionally draining, often leaving individuals feeling isolated and physically weakened. In response, Subaru and its retailers bring warmth and compassion through the delivery of custom heart-shaped blankets, curated care kits, and handwritten messages of hope. These gestures provide valuable relief and reinforce the importance of community support.

Alan Bethke, Senior Vice President of Marketing at Subaru of America, Inc.: “A decade of working together on Subaru Loves to Care has only served to reinforce how meaningful a personal touch can be for those facing cancer. Hand in hand with our retailers and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, we remain committed to delivering warmth, love, and comfort during some of life’s most difficult moments. This partnership helps make a difference by reminding cancer patients how many people are rooting for them.”

Throughout June, over 630 participating retailers across the country will continue sharing hope by delivering blankets and personal messages to cancer patients in local hospitals. Additionally, 370 of those participating retailers will provide care kits to offer added comfort throughout treatment and recovery. Through these continued efforts, Subaru strengthens its promise to be More Than a Car Company®, one blanket and note at a time.

In addition to donating and delivering blankets, messages of hope, and care kits, participating retailers are also contributing to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Urgent Need Pediatric, Adolescent and Young Adult Fund. The fund provides financial assistance to young blood cancer patients and their families to help with non-medical related expenses, from groceries to transportation, housing and more. Along with these contributions from retailers, Subaru will match donations made through LLS.org during Subaru Loves to Care between June 1 and 30, 2025, up to $100,000 in total.

E. Anders Kolb, M.D., President and CEO of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society: “Thoughtful gestures like blankets and handwritten notes from Subaru and its retailers offer real comfort, love, and encouragement during treatment, especially for children. When I think about the number of lives we have touched over the past ten years, it fills my heart to know that so many patients were reminded that they’re not alone. That simple act of kindness is one that leaves a lasting effect.”

Those looking to write messages of hope for patients in their community are invited to visit their local Subaru retailer.

KeyBank’s 2025 annual Financial Mobility Survey found increased stress levels among Americans trying to balance economic pressures and financial goals, with more than half (51%) of Gen Z respondents indicating they are taking proactive steps to improve their financial future. Similarly, Personetics’ Global Consumer Banking Survey released in February found that most consumers (70%) want their financial institutions to provide timely insights on spending and saving habits to improve their financial wellness.

To address this growing demand, particularly among younger consumers, KeyBank will use Personetics’ Engage, a client experience that delivers timely insights and recommendations based on each client’s spending and savings habits.

“KeyBank’s mission is to help clients and communities thrive. A large part of that mission centers in helping clients move forward on their financial journeys and reach their financial goals,” said Emily Gessner, Head of Consumer Digital at KeyBank. “By leveraging Personetics’ platform and experience, we will address the financial burden and stress consumers face by empowering our clients with real-time insights and guidance to help them effectively manage their financial futures.”

“As KeyBank celebrates its 200th anniversary, we’re delighted to partner with an institution that shares our vision for the future of banking,” said Udi Ziv, CEO of Personetics. “This partnership isn’t just about innovation—it’s about using intelligent technology to forge deeper human relationships between banks and the people they serve.” Cognitive Banking redefines how banks understand and support their customers and, as a result, fosters customer loyalty.
