This week, Coach announced a multi-year partnership with the WNBA, marking the beginning of a new chapter on the brand’s journey to champion self-expression and authenticity. As the official handbag partner of the WNBA, Coach will play a pivotal role in empowering players and fans alike. This collaboration embodies our core purpose, the Courage to Be Real, by inspiring people to confidently explore all facets of their identity.
The collaboration kicked off celebrations on April 14 with the WNBA Draft 2025 presented by State Farm® at The Shed in New York City. Throughout the evening, the WNBA Draft Orange Carpet presented by Coach welcomed the newest class of WNBA rookies.
This partnership is a testament to Coach’s ongoing commitment to innovation and societal impact. We are proud to be part of the WNBA Changemakers Collective, working alongside purpose-driven companies to enhance the player experience, build the brand, inspire innovation, increase media coverage, and drive business transformation.
Coach will also partner with and amplify the stories of five WNBA prospects who are bridging the worlds of sport and fashion as exceptional athletes who express themselves with their own unique style. The five WNBA prospects are Paige Bueckers (University of Connecticut), Hailey Van Lith (Texas Christian University), Aneesah Morrow (Louisiana State University), Kiki Iriafen (University of South California), and Sonia Citron (Notre Dame).
Coach CEO Todd Kahn said, “This is a sport where the most successful players have that perfect combination of daring confidence, an unshakable commitment to teamwork, and a shared dedication to the dream. I see many parallels in Tapestry and Coach’s own story – after all, Coach was the first company to commit to moving their headquarters to Hudson Yards, and back then we couldn’t conceive of a world where the WNBA would be holding its draft on an old railroad.”
Additionally, Coach will become the presenting partner of WNBA Pride, a platform the league launched in 2014, which marked the first time a pro sports league formed an integrated program to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community. In addition to a slate of nationally televised games, WNBA Pride presented by Coach will spotlight the third consecutive season of the Pride Is Love limited content series available on the WNBA App.

NEW YORK, April 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — OUTFRONT Media Inc. (NYSE: OUT), one of the largest out-of-home (OOH) media companies in the U.S., is running multiple campaigns in April in honor of Earth Month. Through a partnership with The Farmlink Project and a purpose-driven content series (MOMENTS by OUTFRONT), the campaigns aim to inspire environmental awareness and resourcefulness throughout the month, including Earth Day on April 22.
OUTFRONT has again teamed up with The Farmlink Project, the fastest-growing solution in the charitable food space, on a nationwide OOH campaign to encourage people to take action in the fight against food insecurity. The creative is running now through April 30 on digital billboards across the country, with the message: “Feed people, not landfills. $1 delivers 17 lbs of food.”
The Earth Month campaign follows OUTFRONT and Farmlink’s Thanksgiving partnership to encourage donations to provide food to families in need with digital billboards featuring a similar message. OUTFRONT and Farmlink have been partners since 2021.
“OUTFRONT’s partnership has been critical in amplifying our mission to spark conversations about food waste and food access nationwide, said Kate Nelson, Head of Brand at The Farmlink Project. “Currently, about one-third of the food grown in the U.S. ends up in landfills, making it one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gases. Earth Month is the perfect time to join forces and amplify our mission – to connect farms’ surplus with food banks, feeding people instead of landfills.”
Additionally this month, Moments by OUTFRONT, OUTFRONT’s content and publisher platform, celebrates Earth Month with curated content on OUTFRONT’s transit media, reaching millions of commuters daily. “Moments in Life,” in collaboration with PureWow, highlights a DIY bird feeder for kids, encouraging commuters young and old to take a simple and fun step toward a more sustainable future. The campaign is running now through April 30 in New York’s MTA, Florida’s Brightline and San Francisco’s BART, Caltrain and VTA.
“We love contextual campaigns here at OUTFRONT, especially when they bring awareness to important movements. Earth Month was perfect timing to deepen our partnerships with Farmlink and PureWow through these actionable campaigns,” said Liz Rave, Vice President, Marketing at OUTFRONT. “Using our media to inspire audiences at scale remains a top priority.”
About OUTFRONT Media Inc.
OUTFRONT leverages the power of technology, location and creativity to connect brands with consumers outside of their homes through one of the largest and most diverse sets of billboard, transit, and mobile assets in the United States.

Subaru recently committed to sponsor the largest community tree distribution in the Arbor Day Foundation’s history. Dan Lambe of the Foundation explains more about the power of trees and the impact this effort will have on communities and ecosystems across the U.S.
It’s easy to take trees for granted since they’re embedded in the landscape of our lives. They grow strong and silent, never asking for anything and always giving something. Clean air. Cool shade. A sense of peace. But in order for us to continue to enjoy the benefits of trees in the future, we can’t afford to overlook them in the present.
Right now, communities across the country are enduring mounting challenges like rising temperatures, frequent extreme weather events, and poor air quality. These pressures put a strain on infrastructure, threaten public health, and disrupt daily life. Trees have a remarkable ability to help us address these impacts and make our communities more resilient in the process.
Unfortunately, we’re losing trees at an alarming rate. Factors like urban developments, natural disasters, and disease are thinning our tree canopy at a moment when we need it most. According to the U.S. Forest Service, cities and neighborhoods lose approximately 36 million trees annually — equivalent to 175,000 acres of coverage each year. The Arbor Day Foundation’s Canopy Report found more than half of Americans must drive to reach their nearest green space.
We feel the absence of trees in tangible ways. In the lack of shade at our children’s playgrounds. In the rising summer energy bills. In the flooding after periods of heavy rain. This isn’t just about statistics — it’s about the strength of our communities.
We need to bring an abundance of trees to our cities and neighborhoods, but we can’t do it alone. Because something that is bigger than all of us, takes all of us. While no single organization, company, or individual can solve our environmental challenges alone, together we can grow solutions at the scale our changing world demands.
This understanding drives the impactful partnership between the Arbor Day Foundation and Subaru. As the world’s largest tree planting nonprofit, the Arbor Day Foundation has collaborated with hundreds of corporate partners to foster healthier cities and forests. Last year, Subaru joined our extensive network and has committed to sponsoring the largest community tree distribution in the Foundation’s history. Through this work, Subaru will activate its nationwide network of retailers to support more than 600 tree distribution events this year. More than 95 percent of Subaru’s retailers volunteered to be part of this initiative, all energized by the opportunity to make their respective communities greener. Thanks to their participation, there will be distributions in every state in the continental United States and Alaska, and luckily, the work is already well underway. This hands-on, community-driven approach is helping to create a ripple effect of environmental impact, with Subaru’s retailers serving as local hubs for environmental action.
In a moment that demands bold action, Subaru is a continued force for environmental stewardship. Subaru has already demonstrated its commitment to social impact through its Subaru Love Promise. The Subaru Love Promise is built on five core pillars including the environment, health, education, pets and community. The company has already helped plant 1.1 million trees in forests affected by wildfires while also supporting and protecting U.S. national parks. In addition to being a leader in the Arbor Day Foundation’s community tree planting initiative, Subaru is also collaborating with the Foundation to help plant 20,000 trees in forests of greatest need. A commitment of this scale is important as we continually seek to drive positive impact through tree-based initiatives.
Trees are a proven and vital community asset. For example, a single tree can provide a day’s supply of oxygen for up to four people while also absorbing nearly 10 pounds of polluted air each year. Collectively, urban and community trees across the country remove 711,000 metric tons of air pollution annually. Communities with robust canopies experience reduced rates of asthma and other respiratory problems. Trees also add value through their water management abilities. One mature deciduous tree intercepts 500 to 700 gallons of water annually, helping to prevent erosion, filter pollutants and manage the impact of urban flooding. Trees can even reduce high temperatures by up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit, a potentially lifesaving amount in an increasingly warmer world. Beyond these physical health benefits, research shows that people living near parks and green spaces report better mental health.
As part of its Subaru Loves the Earth initiative, the automaker’s partnership with the Arbor Day Foundation is not only an investment in trees, but also an investment in public health and community resiliency.
Work is already underway and as these trees take root across America, they’ll do more than strengthen our urban canopies. They’ll demonstrate how strategic partnerships can address environmental challenges while building happier and healthier neighborhoods. Each tree planted through this initiative will serve as a living testament to what can be achieved when we work together. Because the power of a tree extends far beyond the moment it’s planted. It’s the beginning of a long legacy, benefiting our communities and our planet.
Trees have the answers to some of the most challenging issues facing our world today.
They just need bold leaders ready to plant them.
This article series is sponsored by Subaru of America and produced by the TriplePundit editorial team.
Dan Lambe is the CEO of the Arbor Day Foundation, founded in 1972, which has grown to become the largest nonprofit membership organization dedicated to planting trees, with over one million members, supporters, and valued partners. Dan leads the strategic development of programs and partnerships through which the Foundation strives to educate, recognize, and empower people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees.

Stakeholder engagement: Lenovo 360 Circle – Unveiling the origins and mission
As part of Lenovo’s stakeholder engagement efforts, Lenovo 360 Circle was established to increase collaboration and enhance its relationships with channel partners. Lenovo’s robust network of channel partners helps to deliver smarter technology to millions of customers around the world. When it comes to devices, infrastructure, and services and solutions, Lenovo provides channel partners with the resources needed to succeed in a highly competitive market. In 2021, Lenovo expanded that partner support to include sustainability resources through a partner community called Lenovo 360 Circle.
Built with inputs from channel partners, Lenovo 360 Circle was established as a community for partners to come together for collective learning opportunities and collaboration on addressing key issues in sustainability. The community is based on a self-service portal that follows a similar structure to the engagement process established by the UN Global Compact for private and public sectors.
Partners can apply for membership to Lenovo 360 Circle with their company’s sustainability lead and, through the application, identify where they stand in their sustainability efforts into one of three stages: “Connect” partners, who are just starting out and need some help getting their strategy up and running, “Learn” partners, who have a structure in place and are ready to expand their strategies, and “Lead” partners, who are considered ‘advanced’ in their strategies and may already have a track record of goals and success in their sustainability efforts. Once the partner stage is identified, partners are then connected with a set of resources that are tailored to their specific needs – from assessment tools to tailored curriculums, to access to subject-matter experts and community events and webinars.
Lenovo envisions the Lenovo 360 Circle not only as a strategic advantage, but also expediting the shift to more sustainable business practices and models. As a community, the Lenovo 360 Circle addresses sustainability as a new business driver, while unlocking new business opportunities and aligning on common ESG goals.
Thriving together: Collective learning, collaboration, and partnerships in action
FY 2023/24 Lenovo 360 Circle in a few numbers:
- Since September 2023, 343 members joined. The community now counts 363 members representing 2,181 local partners in 43 countries
- 379 sustainability experts as part of the Lenovo 360 Circle community coming from members, from third party’s advisors as well as from Lenovo, representing a year-to-year increase of 102%.
- The community forum participation increased by 179% since the broader opening of the community (~50% panelists coming from members).
- 280+ hours of collaboration through focus groups, sustainability workshops, regular interlocks.
- 5.5 hours training resources developed to support channel sellers and sustainability experts representing 14 courses and 65 modules (~50% industry agnostic content).
- The overall engagement of Lead partners into the community common goals4 keeps improving year over year:
Percentages of Lead partners engaged5 in or reached common goals in FY 2023/24
(percentage changes compared to prior year)
| Goal-category | Renewable Energy | Alignment with SBTi | Circular economy | Philanthropy | Women in Leadership |
| Engaged | 65% (+5%) | 65% (+0%) | 91% (+1%) | 57% (+2%) | 78% (+3%) |
| Reached | 33% (+13%) | 33% (+2%) | n/a6 | 54% (+18%) | 67% (-6%) |
FY 2023/24 key projects linked to Lenovo 360 Circle Priorities:
- Scope 3 inventory management: The Mode of Transportation (MOT) dashboard is providing detailed emissions data for transported goods for channel partners. It allows them to move away from spend-based assumptions to more accurate calculations, consolidating Scope 3 emissions from transportation based on real logistics data, depending on MOT (including air, sea, and truck) and detailed route from manufacturing location to destination. The MOT dashboard has been developed by Lenovo’s Global Supply Chain, while integrating partner feedback.
- Products sustainability attributes: Facilitating access to product sustainability attributes while ensuring transparency and reliability is a key focus of the Lenovo 360 Circle. For this reason, in Spring 2023 the community has joined the “Product ESG Data Transparency” project led by Global Technology Distribution Council (GTDC) and CONTEXT. This project has been built in consultation with IT vendors, IT distributors, and IT resellers to create an ESG data platform, primarily focusing on environmental attributes as a first step.
- Packaging: The Lenovo 360 Circle supported Lenovo’s EMEA Education team to design and launch an initiative called ‘Turning Waste into Educational Wonder’, which encourages students and educators to sustainably repurpose Lenovo’s packaging. This initiative comprised a dedicated webpage, instruction booklet in multiple languages and a STEM competition for students to promote skills such as design, engineering, and problem-solving. Overall, there were 160+ submissions from 4,000+ students in 23 countries with nine winners.
- Learning and Development: Leveraging the dedicated focus group and answering to a requirement coming from founding partners, Lenovo has developed the Lenovo 360 Sustainability Learning Paths. The training, primarily targeted at sales and sustainability leaders, offers four learning paths, comprised of courses and interactive, bite-sized modules, to provide essential sustainability knowledge and skills. Learners embark on a journey from sustainability fundamentals, to understanding Lenovo’s ESG approach, and skills to embed sustainability within their business practices. Upon completion, individuals will receive credentials and partners receive Lenovo 360 Accreditation and progression through the levels of Lenovo 360 Circle membership status, where applicable.
As an active participant of the UN Global Compact, Lenovo 360 Circle is also consistently promoting the initiative’s solutions amongst the members of the community while supporting the SDG 17: partnerships for the goals.
Championing sustainability across the value chain
Lenovo 360 Circle has been recognized with Champion status in the 2023 Canalys Global Sustainable Ecosystems Leadership Matrix for outstanding achievement in sustainability-focused partner programs and robust sustainability strategies at an organizational level. Lenovo 360 Circle was also awarded the Best Value Chain Initiative of the Year at CRN’s inaugural Sustainability in Tech summit. This award recognizes a company, or partnership of companies, which are taking steps to reduce emissions across their entire supply chain, reduce waste and resource usage, and provide tangible results of the impact they are making on the environment.
Testimonials from participants:
“Connection is honored to participate as a charter member of Lenovo 360 Circle initiative. Participating in this community has been a tremendous learning experience and has served as a tipping point for Connection to invest in the creation of policies and develop executive sponsored initiatives focused on Sustainability and Corporate Responsibility.”
Brian Hicks, Senior Vice President Product Management and Operations at Connection
“Tackling complex social and environmental challenges is a team sport. The Lenovo 360 Circle systemic approach is a visionary and ambitious, yet complex journey we can all learn from”.
Arnaud Mourot, VP – Global Corporate Alliances and Changemaker Companies at Ashoka
Embracing tomorrow: Mapping out the year ahead for Lenovo 360 Circle
As Lenovo embarks on its journey forward, Lenovo 360 Circle commits to:
- Actively seek out new members who share its vision and values,
- Prioritize and cultivate strategic partnerships that amplify its mission and magnify its impact,
- Quantifying its impact and enhancing its methodologies and tools.
Stakeholder engagement: Corporate Compliance Summit
Lenovo continues to focus on engaging its various stakeholders who may be impacted by its ESG efforts and whose actions can affect Lenovo’s value. On January 15, 2024, Lenovo held a Corporate Compliance Summit in Beijing, inviting guests from the government, industry, university, and research field to discuss corporate compliance issues, jointly exploring new trends, challenges and opportunities, promoting internal compliance management, enhancing risk prevention awareness, and promoting high-quality development of enterprises to create a healthy market environment together

To obtain this designation, projects must complete independent verification through the ISI to confirm the project was delivered sustainably. According to the ISI, only three wastewater treatment plants in the United States have earned an Envision Platinum Award, with Treasure Island becoming the second in California. The project is being delivered by PCL Construction, Inc., an industry leader in water and wastewater infrastructure construction, in partnership with Stantec, a global leader in sustainable design and engineering.
The $165 million wastewater treatment facility is part of a major redevelopment project for Treasure Island. The island is being transformed into a vibrant mixed-use neighborhood with up to 8,000 new homes, public spaces and commercial developments. The new facility, scheduled to be completed in 2026, will replace an aging wastewater treatment plant. It is designed to process up to 3.9 million gallons of water per day, providing reliable and sustainable services for future residents.
To achieve an Envision Platinum Award, SFPUC, PCL and Stantec prioritized sustainable design and construction practices that reduce environmental impact and enhance community benefits.
Key innovations include:
- Reduce operational water consumption: The project team completed a water inventory that showed more than 61 million gallons of water are needed annually to operate the wastewater treatment facility. However, they identified strategies to reduce potable water use by more than 98% of that baseline, saving over 60 million gallons per year. The remaining 2% of potable water used will be captured, treated and reused as utility water for the facility or recycled water for landscape irrigation and toilet flushing.
- Provide recycled water for the community: The facility will generate between 156 and 357 million gallons of Title 22 recycled water for community use each year.
- Biological nutrient removal: The new facility will treat wastewater to a tertiary level, producing high-quality effluent that also undergoes biological nutrient removal. This process reduces biodegradable organic matter, suspended solids and nitrogen in the effluent discharged into San Francisco Bay, lowering the risk of harmful algal blooms.
- Stakeholder involvement: The project team has collaborated with organizations representing both current and future residents of Treasure Island. They have also partnered with local nonprofit organizations and school districts to provide funding, volunteer support, training and internships for a wide range of community programs.
- Enhance public space and amenities: A key objective of the project is to transform part of a former U.S. Navy site on Treasure Island into public space. The existing gravel lot will be replaced with a modernized wastewater treatment facility that includes wetlands, landscaped areas, visually appealing architecture and public artwork featured on the building facades.
“This award underscores our commitment to environmental leadership,” said SFPUC General Manager Dennis Herrera. “This project is delivering San Francisco’s first wastewater facility with nutrient removal as we continue to invest in bay health and help address a regional issue. We’re also preparing for sea level rise and advancing long-term environmental solutions. This project includes industry-leading water conservation. It will also supply recycled water for irrigation and toilet flushing and transform a former U.S. Navy site into wetlands and public space. This is another example of our commitment to strong environmental stewardship, being a good neighbor, and investing responsibly in San Francisco’s future.”
“PCL’s experience in delivering nearly 500 water and wastewater projects enabled us to implement solutions that achieved an Envision Platinum Award, reinforcing our commitment to sustainable infrastructure,” said Richard Hewitt, vice president and district manager for PCL’s Civil Infrastructure Division. “Envision is more than just a project milestone—it reflects our role as community builders who prioritize sustainability. It’s about making a lasting impact by reducing waste, protecting the environment and enhancing the communities we serve.”
“At Stantec, sustainability is at our core, and we are honored to work with partners who share that commitment,” said Billy Wong, regional growth leader at Stantec. “We kept the Treasure Island community in mind every step of the way during the design of this project, and we believe it will have a lasting impact.”
The Treasure Island Water Resource Recovery Facility is set to become a cornerstone of the island’s transformation and long-term sustainability.
