Dr. Richard Broth, a nationally recognized maternal-fetal medicine (MFM) specialist and founder of TLC Perinatal with more than 20 years of experience managing high-risk pregnancies, has long been at the forefront of adopting technologies that improve patient care. Through TLC Perinatal, Dr. Broth is now offering INVU™ as part of an enhanced care pathway designed to provide greater reassurance, flexibility, and continuous clinical oversight.

“Pregnancy doesn’t operate on a schedule,” said Dr. Broth. “Many patients experience anxiety at times when traditional care isn’t immediately accessible—late at night, between appointments, or when something simply doesn’t feel right. With INVU™, we can offer an option for patients to perform an on-demand, NST-level assessment at home and connect with their care team for timely evaluation.”

INVU™ Sets A New Standard for Patient-Centered Prenatal Care

INVU™enables expectant mothers to perform medical-grade fetal monitoring remotely, including non-stress test (NST)-level assessments, without needing to travel to a clinic or hospital. This is particularly valuable for patients seeking premium, proactive care, including those who desire additional reassurance outside of scheduled visits.

With INVU™ pregnant mothers can:

  • Perform on-demand monitoring sessions, including during nighttime or periods of concern
  • Receive remote clinical review and feedback from their care team
  • Reduce unnecessary emergency visits while maintaining peace of mind
  • Stay more closely connected to their providers throughout pregnancy

Innovation in Real-World Clinical Practice

Dr. Broth is widely recognized for his role in introducing new maternal-fetal technologies in real-world clinical settings. His adoption of INVU™ reflects a broader shift toward patient-centered, technology-enabled care models that extend beyond the traditional clinic.

By integrating INVU™ into TLC Perinatal’s services, Dr. Broth is demonstrating how remote monitoring can complement established care pathways—particularly for high-risk pregnancies and patients seeking enhanced levels of care.

“Technology should empower both patients and providers,” Dr. Broth added. “By giving patients access to reliable, clinically meaningful information when they need it, we can improve both outcomes and the overall pregnancy experience.”

Expanding Remote Access to Premium Pregnancy Monitoring

The introduction of INVU™ at TLC Perinatal highlights a growing demand for flexible, personalized prenatal care options. As more patients seek proactive and convenient solutions, remote monitoring platforms like INVU™ are helping redefine how maternal care is delivered.

“Dr. Broth represents a new generation of clinical leaders who are bringing innovation directly into pregnancy care,” said Laurence Klein, Nuvo’s CEO. “His work demonstrates how INVU™ can support both clinical excellence and patient empowerment through accessible, on-demand monitoring.”

Making the Most of Your Water Risk Assessment

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

Key Takeaways: Water Risk Assessments

  • Water Risk Assessments (WRAs) help organizations identify physical, regulatory, and reputational water risks that may affect operations, supply chains, and long-term business resilience.
  • A strong corporate water risk assessment combines global datasets, local expert validation, and site-level insights to accurately evaluate current and future water vulnerabilities.
  • WRAs allow companies to prioritize high-risk locations, prepare for evolving water regulations, and manage climate-related water pressures.
  • The results provide a foundation for water risk management and broader water stewardship strategies, helping businesses strengthen sustainability performance and operational continuity.

An estimated quarter of the world’s population (more than 2 billion people) live in areas of high water stress, according to the 2024 United Nations World Water Development Report. “High water stress” means that more than 80% of the available water resources in a region are consumed. As water stress grows globally, businesses of all sizes need to address their water-related risks to ensure uninterrupted operations.

Water Risk Assessments (WRAs) are a practical tool for companies across industries to understand their current and future water risks. By translating water risks to business risks, WRAs provide companies with a roadmap for making informed, proactive decisions. This foundational step helps your business stay ahead of water concerns and ever-changing regulations for a more resilient future.

What is a Water Risk Assessment?

A WRA identifies and evaluates water-related risks where a business has operational presence. This extends across three categories: physical, regulatory, and reputational risks.

  • Physical water risks include water availability (whether there is too much or too little), water quality, climate change, and extreme weather events
  • Regulatory water risks include both on-site permit compliance and broader water management considerations (such as water allocation schemes and access to safe drinking water)
  • Reputational water risks are related to public perception and social tensions surrounding water use and pollution

WRAs identify how individual sites and their localized regions may be affected by all three types of water risk. This gives companies a holistic view of where and how their business operations may be vulnerable to water risks.

Why Would Your Business Want a Water Risk Assessment?

WRAs give companies a resource to plan for long-term business continuity. Understanding operations may be affected by local water issues like scarcity or flooding, plus the risks associated with regulatory changes, allows companies to reduce potential negative impacts, and pave the way for better water stewardship.

“You can’t manage water risks you haven’t measured, and assessment is the first step to resilience,” says Erik Foley, Senior Consultant and Sustainability Practice Lead at Antea Group.

Antea Group’s Methodology: A Three-Filter Process

Antea Group understands that while water is a global resource, an individual company’s water risk requires a hyper-local review of physical, regulatory, and reputational risks. We have developed a WRA methodology that can be applied to any business. The boundaries of a WRA can range from a single facility to hundreds of global sites and can even include a company’s supply chain footprint. We work to ensure the boundaries of the WRA meet the interests and needs of each client.

After setting the assessment boundaries, Antea Group applies our WRA methodology that leverages data from three filters to provide comprehensive and insightful results for each site.

Filter 1: External Datasets

Using the robust and globally recognized World Resources Institute (WRI) Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas, Antea Group obtains location-specific data for 13 water risk indicators that span physical, regulatory, and reputational risks. This filter provides an initial, high-level screening of the water risks at each site.

Filter 2: Expert Validation

Antea Group utilizes our Inogen Alliance global network to have local water experts provide validation and add local perspectives to the data from Filter 1. Our water experts are located across the globe and provide the tailored, industry-specific, and hyper-local insights necessary for turning the WRA outputs into actionable, context-driven decision enablers.

Experts provide qualitative insights on risk drivers and local context, as well as quantitative scores for water-related risk across seven categories: overall business risk, future business risk, supply quantity, municipal infrastructure, watershed quality, regulations and governance, and social/media. This filter provides local validation of the information presented in the external datasets.

Filter 3: Risk Applicability Screening

Antea Group coordinates with the company to solicit site-level feedback on water-related challenges through an online survey tool. The online tool is a streamlined way for clients to gather the unique site-specific context on the current water context, water risk applicability, and current water-related challenges. This filter provides the site-specific applicability assessment of Filter 1 and 2 outputs.

The results of the three filters are combined to establish a dimensional view of current and future water risks for each site evaluated, with specific scoring indicating the external (Filter 1 and 2) and internal (Filter 3) risk evaluation. The resulting information allows companies to understand priority and severity of risk but also brings attention to sites where further evaluation is needed (when external and internal risk scores diverge).

What Makes Our Approach Unique: Setting the Stage for Water Stewardship Strategy

Data is important. Publicly available tools, like the WRI Aqueduct and WWF Water Risk Filter, are a wonderful starting place for understanding potential risk exposures. However, global datasets are models meant to be used for high-level assessments and cannot always capture the intricacies of the local hydrological context, or the complex regulatory frameworks governing water resources. For example, a facility may be located in a watershed where surface waters are highly polluted due to heavy industry, something that is likely to be flagged in the external datasets and classified as a high vulnerability for water supply contamination. But a local expert may determine that the municipality surrounding the facility is supplied only by surface water from a different catchment altogether that is less vulnerable to contamination. Our expert validation step allows our WRA results to be localized in a way that global datasets cannot capture. Including validation from the site itself may show us that the site relies on groundwater from a confined, unpolluted aquifer and does not rely on surface water at all. Capturing the local context is a necessity for a WRA to be informative and actionable.

WRAs pinpoint business vulnerabilities, laying the groundwork for a water stewardship strategy. Recognizing the importance of being able to support our clients in addressing vulnerabilities, Antea Group has developed an 8-Step Water Leadership Cycle as a framework to guide companies through addressing water risks. The cycle begins with a WRA followed by action planning and goal setting, supply chain engagement, performance tracking, and disclosure.

Take a look at a case study on how Antea Group applied this methodology to help a Data Center company gain a greater internal understanding of water as a business issue across its operations.

Making the Most of Your WRA Results

The high-level physical, regulatory, and reputational water risks identified by a WRA are valuable insights for businesses. Antea Group’s water stewardship team can support clients by turning WRA business insights into action. Whether supporting your business through expanding WRAs to your company’s overall water supply chain, looking closer at high-risk sites by performing source vulnerability assessments (SVAs), or guiding the company through the 8-Step Water Leadership Cycle to become water stewards, our team is here to meet your needs with a fit-for-purpose solution.

Ready to Act on Water Risk?

Water challenges are complex, but with the right information, they can be turned into opportunities for leadership and business resilience. WRAs help you understand the intersection of large-scale water challenges with the local scale of your operations. Antea Group’s Water Stewardship experts are ready to guide you through risk analysis, providing local insights for global projects.

NexaFlo® 400 (left) & NexaFlo® 450 (right) Continuous Flow Analyzers for Seawater Testing.

Monitoring nutrients in seawater is essential for understanding ocean productivity, tracking ecosystem health, and supporting environmental and regulatory programs. Analytical challenges are significant: while seawater contains high concentrations of major ions, critical nutrients such as nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, silicate, and ammonium can occur at extremely low concentrations, particularly in open-ocean and deep-water environments. Reliable detection of these trace nutrients requires stable baselines, precise reagent handling, and instrumentation capable of delivering low limits of detection with consistent signal quality.

The NexaFlo® platform, KPM Analytics’ next-generation continuous flow analyzer, addresses these requirements with upgraded electronics and improved signal processing that reduce background noise and improve measurement stability. For marine nutrient applications, NexaFlo® delivers 2–3× better analytical performance compared with the previous-generation Futura platform, enabling laboratories to quantify very low nutrient concentrations with greater confidence.

A major advantage of NexaFlo® is its compatibility with the extensive library of analytical manifolds developed for the Futura platform. Laboratories can continue using established chemistries and validated methods while benefiting from the improved performance of the new instrument architecture. The system supports proven Grasshoff chemistries for nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, and silicate analysis, as well as fluorometric methods for very low ammonium detection.

To simplify implementation for marine laboratories, KPM Analytics is also introducing a dedicated bundle of height seawater analysis manifolds covering the most common nutrient measurements (Nitrates, Nitrites, Silicates, Phosphates, Ammonia with fluorescence, Ammonia with phenol, Total Phosphorus, Total Nitrogen). The bundled configuration provides a ready-to-deploy solution for oceanographic research institutions, government monitoring programs, and commercial laboratories performing routine seawater testing.

KPM Analytics brings decades of experience supporting nutrient analysis in environmental and marine laboratories worldwide. The NexaFlo® platform builds on the proven performance of the company’s continuous flow technology while delivering improved sensitivity and modernized instrumentation for demanding marine applications.

Annual figures 2025: BNG supports the Dutch public sector during a year full of major investment challenges

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

THE HAGUE, Netherlands , March 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BNG’s mission is to maximize social impact. This social value is best reflected in the size and growth of the loan portfolio. Once more, BNG proved to be a stable and reliable partner during a year in which public organisations faced major investment challenges. We contributed to public services that help the Netherlands move forward, with a long-term loan portfolio of EUR 95.7 billion and portfolio growth of EUR 11.2 billion of new long-term loans in 2025. From affordable social housing and renewable energy to future-proof healthcare and educational institutions and vital infrastructure. The net profit for 2025 amounted to EUR 172 million.

  • Loan portfolio increased from EUR 93.0 billion in 2024 to EUR 95.7 billion in 2025 (+ EUR 2.7 billion)
  • Interest result decreased from EUR 536 million in 2024 to EUR 496 million in 2025 (- EUR 40 million)
  • Solvency and liquidity remained strong, with a Common Equity Tier 1 ratio of 42% and an LCR of 159%
  • Funding raised amounted to EUR 16.6 billion, of which EUR 5.5 billion consisted of ESG bonds
  • Net profit declined from EUR 294 million in 2024 to EUR 172 million in 2025 (- EUR 122 million), due to both external factors and conscious strategic choices

Financial results

Despite volatile market conditions and geopolitical tensions, the demand for loans remained high, especially from municipalities and social housing associations. This resulted in a record size of our loan portfolio. Philippine Risch BNG CEO: “Our clients make a difference in society and the challenges associated with public investments are major. The ongoing demand for loans demonstrates how great the need is for investments and affordable financing of public facilities. Our robust financial position enables us to continue supporting our clients, especially in challenging market conditions, and to grow alongside them as they work to achieve their social objectives more quickly and effectively.”

BNG achieved a net profit of EUR 172 million in 2025, a decrease of EUR 122 million compared to 2024. This decrease is the result of market conditions and conscious choices:

  • Lower interest result: the interest result decreased by EUR 40 million to EUR 496 million. We allocated part of our profits to provide our clients a lower price, enabling them to create more impact. In addition, BNG decided to divest parts of the non-strategic portfolio. In addition, the bank’s funding costs increased compared to last year;
  • A negative result on financial transactions of EUR 31 million due to changes in the market value of financial instruments;
  • Increase in operating expenses by EUR 21 million to EUR 173 million, due to investments in the further professionalisation of the organisation as well as a provision for reorganisation to better prepare the bank for the future;
  • Higher impairments on financial assets of EUR 41 million are the result of write-downs on the solar energy projects portfolio.

We raised EUR 16.6 billion in long-term funding with an average maturity of 6.9 years. Of this, we issued EUR 5.5 billion in ESG bonds, both through new issuances and by increasing existing bonds. This share represents 33% of our total issuance in 2025.

Social and green added value

Our clients face major investment challenges, from the energy-efficient construction of social rental homes to investments in energy networks, heating networks and clean mobility. Outdated educational, healthcare and municipal real estate also require substantial investments. Despite the changing global trend, BNG is firmly committed to ESG and accelerating the energy transition. Risch: “We are the bank of social and green added value and we do not seek to maximise profit, but to maximise social impact.

JinkoSolar Globally Launches AIDC Modules for Data Centers

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

SHANGHAI, March 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — JinkoSolar, the global leading PV and ESS supplier, has globally launched its new AIDC modules for data centers. Built on the proven Tiger Neo 3.0 TOPCon platform technology, this product is specifically designed for conventional data centers, AI data centers, GPU clusters, supercomputing plants, edge computing network centers, chip plants, AI factories, and AI-powered carbon-neutral IDZ,etc. AIDC module addresses the specially high requirements of data centers, including high load capacity, high asset security, prolonged non-stop operation, extreme weather resistance, super stability and reliability, low O&M requirements, and large-scale deployment, providing the best possible clean energy solution for “computing-power synergy” in the AI world.

 The six core advantages of this module:

  1. High Efficiency and High Power Output: Minimizing LCOE
    Based on JinkoSolar’s patent Tiger Neo 3.0 technology platform, combines current mature mass production capabilities with future-oriented technological scalability, delivering a front-side efficiency of 24.8% or higher and a power output of 670W or higher. Given the same space, it can generate more electricity for data centers, effectively improving roof and land utilization, and minimizing LCOE over the entire lifecycle
  2. High Bifacial Efficiency:  Provides More Extra Free Power
    Thanks to the inherent advantage of TOPCon cells’ symmetrical and complete front-and-back structure, combined with Jinko’s MAX technology, the Tiger Neo 3. 0 platform modules achieve a bifaciality of 85% ± 5%. Compared to the limitation of BC modules—where power generation is concentrated on the back, resulting in a bifaciality of only 65%–75%—the Neo 3.0’s rear-side power generation capacity approaches that of the front side. Since modules are priced based on their front-side rated power, the power generated from the back effectively provides “free computing capacity expansion” for AI data centers: taking a 670W module with an 85% bifaciality ratio as an example, under ground reflectance conditions of 0.26, the total output power can reach 844W. For every 1W of front-side power cost paid by the user, they actually obtain 1.26W of total power generation capacity. This characteristic is particularly significant in high-latitude cold regions and desert environments—such as the Gobi Desert—which are preferred locations for AI data centers. The high reflectivity of snow and sand provides a natural boost to “free power.”
  3. High-to-Low Irradiance Response: Unlocking All-Weather Power Generation Potential
    Data centers have a smooth power load curve and demand extremely high power supply stability, yet early mornings, evenings, and overcast or rainy weather are precisely the periods when PV power generation is weakest. JinkoSolar’s data center modules inherit the excellent low-light response characteristics of the Flying Tiger 3 platform and have been specifically optimized for low-irradiance conditions. In the low-irradiance range of 100–200 W/m² (typical light intensity during overcast or rainy days, or at dawn and dusk), power generation during morning and evening hours can be increased by up to 8.93% compared to BC modules. Even in extreme low-light scenarios such as dense fog or building shading, their relative power output remains stable at 95%–98%. The system’s equivalent generation duration is significantly extended, and the power generation curve better aligns with data centers’ long-term, round-the-clock, stable, and smooth power consumption needs, effectively increasing the proportion of self-consumed green electricity and improving grid compatibility. In regions with significant peak-to-off-peak price differentials, this further enhances project returns and reduces pressure on the power grid.
  4. High Fire Resistance Rating: Building an Ultimate Safety Barrier
    Safety is the lifeline of a data center. To meet the highest standards for electrical fire prevention, JinkoSolar has adopted the dual certification of the photovoltaic industry’s most stringent IEC 61730-2:2023 standard and UL 790 Class A as its core requirements. These standards mandate that flame spread be ≤1.82 meters and that the module withstand a 30cm × 30cm glowing wood block without burning through, elevating the module’s fire resistance and flame retardancy to a new level. Critical insulation materials meet the highest UL 94 V-0 flame-retardant rating, self-extinguishing within 10 seconds after the flame is removed, with no burning droplets. All critical insulation materials in the assembly have passed rigorous needle flame and glowing wire tests under the IEC 60695 standard, ensuring they will not become a source of ignition under extreme conditions. Additionally, the assembly employs a patented arc-resistant junction box and connection technology, fundamentally reducing the risk of DC arcing and providing high-standard safety protection for data center rooftops.
  5. Superior Hail Resistance: Confidently Withstands Extreme Weather
    As critical information infrastructure, data centers must ensure absolute reliability under any severe weather conditions. The new product has successfully passed a 55-millimeter hail impact test—a size comparable to a tennis ball, far exceeding the conventional 25-millimeter test standard for standard modules. High-strength tempered glass and a shock-absorbing encapsulation structure not only withstand instantaneous physical impacts but also break the risk chain of “mechanical damage → electrical failure → fire hazard” at its source.
  6. Ultra-High Mechanical Load Capacity: Building a Robust Physical Safety Barrier
    Beyond rigorous hail resistance, the modules possess exceptional mechanical load-bearing capacity. The product has passed tests with 6,000 Pa of front-side load and 4,000 Pa of rear-side load, capable of withstanding snow pressure exceeding 600 kilograms per square meter. Even under extreme snow load conditions, the weight of accumulated snow will not cause the modules to rupture or expose internal circuits. In typhoon-prone regions, the modules remain firmly secured to the roof even under strong winds, eliminating secondary risks such as encapsulation material cracking or junction box loosening caused by structural deformation, thereby ensuring structural integrity and electrical safety during extreme weather.

JinkoSolar’s data center modules leverage six core technologies—extreme efficiency, high bifaciality, high/low irradiance response, high fire resistance, hail resistance, and high mechanical load capacity—to truly deliver “more efficient, more stable, and safer” green power for the computing era. As a global leader in cumulative PV shipments, JinkoSolar remains driven by technological innovation and deeply committed to specialized application scenarios. This launch not only marks JinkoSolar’s successful exploration of the limits of product performance in complex scenarios but also represents another significant milestone in the company’s efforts to support the energy transition across all industries.
