CENTENNIAL, Colo., May 28, 2026 /3BL/ – Ask a few students at Monarca Academy in Indianapolis what they plan to do when they grow up and you’ll get some pretty impressive responses: engineer, architect, nurse, astronomer.

A few years ago, these career choices may have seemed out of reach. But a digital lab established by Arrow Electronics and nonprofit N50, has provided Monarca’s students with access to technology that has broadened their horizons. Arrow recently celebrated the first anniversary of the lab, which has grown into a larger space with new technology and additional programming.

Students sitting together

“It’s been really great in one year to see the engagement around the things that the lab has brought us,” said Felicia Sears, Monarch Academy’s founding principal.

The lab launched with 20 workstations, interactive SMART boards, an AI tool, 3D printer, a FIRST Robotics kit (to allow students to build and program a competition-grade robot) and a reliable Internet connection. Four additional 3D printers now round out the offerings. The technology enables students to unlock new skills such as coding and AI experimentation.

“Before, I wanted to be a construction worker,” remarked one student. “But now that I know how to make designs and the only limit is my imagination, I kind of want to be an architect.”

Sign reading "Monarca Digital Community Lab: N50"

Monarca’s lab is part of N50’s EdTech Equity initiative, which is committed to expanding access to technology and connectivity for students in under-resourced communities. Arrow, along with companies like Intel, ApplianSys and SMART Technologies, is helping N50 bridge the divide through low-cost, scalable and sustainable technology solutions.

Arrow’s relationship with Monarca goes beyond just providing critical equipment. Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team Driver Pato O’Ward has long served as mentor for the school and on a recent visit, took the students to McLaren’s U.S. headquarters to learn about race engineering and technology. O’Ward finished fourth in the 110th Indy 500 on May 24.

“We don’t know what those careers look like now that are going to be available in 10 years. But we are helping students be future ready and this technology is helping us in that,” said Francisco Valdiosera, Monarca Academy’s executive director of Arrow’s support.

Arrow has worked with N50 to open 4 labs in the U.S. and Mexico. Together, they expect to launch two labs this year.

For more than a century, Covia’s Portage Plant has been part of Wisconsin’s industrial landscape. Located in Pardeeville, Wisconsin, the plant transforms a naturally distinctive silica sand deposit into materials that support customers across markets including glass, building products, foundry, and engineered stone. Portage has a long history of producing essential materials, but the plant’s story is not defined by products alone. It is also the story of a resilient 17-member team that has continued to adapt, improve, and deliver, a combined effort that ultimately earned Portage recognition as Covia’s 2025 Plant of the Year.

A Plant Rooted in Wisconsin Sand

The Portage facility began as a silica brick manufacturing plant in the early 1900s. Today, the facility continues that long industrial legacy by producing silica sand products used in a range of customer applications, including:

These products directly support industries where consistency, chemistry, grain shape, and performance matter. That breadth of service is part of what makes the plant an important contributor within Covia’s broader network.

A Deposit with Natural Advantages

One of Portage’s defining strengths lies beneath the surface. The facility’s strategic location plays a key role in the team’s ability to produce a range of quality products.“The geological deposit is a unique aspect of the plant,” explains Plant Manager, Nolan Mundwiller. “Portage mines the Galesville Member of the Wonewoc Sandstone Formation which has chemistry, size distribution, and shape characteristics that are naturally desirable to our end customers.”According to Nolan, Portage’s mining and processing methods also set the facility apart. He cites the dredge mining process as particularly notable, as the dredge recovers sand from approximately 50 feet below the water level before pumping it to the wet process. That sand is then stockpiled for the winter months so the plant can provide products to customers throughout the year. It is a highly coordinated operation that requires equipment knowledge, process discipline, and clear communication across a tight-knit team.

A Firsthand Look at Customer Impact

In 2025, the Portage team brought Covia’s Mission, Vision, and Values to life by connecting employees directly with the impact of their work. The team toured a customer’s facility to see how the materials they produced truly impact the success of a valued customer.The experience gave employees a firsthand look at the customer side of the value chain, beginning with a panoramic view from the top of the facility before touring the control room, maintenance facility, storeroom, and production areas. Witnessing memorable moments like a sand batch entering the furnace to begin its transformation provided a new perspective on the connection between the team’s daily work and customer success.The overall tour reinforced a key message across Covia that a plant’s work doesn’t end when material leaves the facility. Each team member’s contributions play a continuing role through the customers and industries that depend on their dedication to quality and innovation.“I encourage all Covia plants to explore similar opportunities,” Director of Operations Excellence, Sean Lyons said. “Seeing our product in action, understanding its value to customers, and connecting with their teams is a powerful way to build pride, purpose, and engagement among our team members.”

Continued Resilience Throughout the Years

The Portage plant earned the award for 2025 Plant of the Year for its exceptional operational results while meeting all its safety and environmental KPIs. What’s especially impressive about this performance is that they succeeded during a year that tested the team’s adaptability.Like many industrial operations, Portage faced changing market conditions and volume-related uncertainty. Despite being one of Covia’s smaller, older facilities with limited capital investment, the team responded with focus, accountability, and a shared commitment to performance. Notable highlights include:

  • Achieving cost-per-ton performance at or below budget 
  • Maintaining zero plant-controllable customer complaints.
  • Implementing innovative scheduling and workforce adjustments
  • Optimizing operations to reduce electricity costs

“I am most proud of the resilience of the team and their ability to work together and weather challenges,” Nolan said. “Volume losses in 2025 brought about much uncertainty, but the team rallied together to exceed expectations. It was incredible to see the perseverance and growth mindset of the team given the challenges.”

Safety as a Shared Responsibility

At Portage, safety is more than a requirement. It is a daily commitment shaped by accountability and care for one another, culminating in the plant recently achieving two years without a recordable incident. According to Nolan, that achievement would not be possible without the commitment of the entire team.“Safety first means having an unwavering commitment to ensure everyone goes home safe at the end of the day,” Nolan said. “Everyone at the plant holds each other accountable and you truly feel that the team looks out for one another each and every day.”

Environmental Stewardship for Today and Tomorrow

Another reason why Portage was named Plant of the Year is that the team’s connection to its site extends beyond production.The dredge pond used in the plant’s mining process is a Wisconsin Registered Fish Farm. Looking ahead, the site is expected to become a wildlife habitat certified site through reclamation, creating long-term value for the Columbia County community.That future-focused approach adds another dimension to the plant’s role in Wisconsin. Portage is both a working industrial operation and a site with a longer environmental story, one that connects resource development, employee engagement, and community stewardship.

An Award-Winning Plant Built on Commitment

Covia’s Plant of the Year award recognizes excellence across safety, manufacturing performance, environmental stewardship, community engagement, customer focus, and operational results. Succeeding across all these criteria is impressive, and none of it is possible without having the right people.Portage’s recognition as Plant of the Year reflects the strength of a team that continued to deliver in a challenging year while staying grounded in the values that guide Covia’s work. From the geological strengths of the Wonewoc Sandstone Formation to the teamwork behind every product, Portage represents the balance of technical expertise and people-first culture that defines Covia’s best operations.

NEW YORK, May 28, 2026 /3BL/ – The International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) today announced a significant evolution of its Works with WELL program, introducing expanded alignment pathways and a redesigned platform experience that broadens how manufacturers, service providers and solution providers can demonstrate alignment with the WELL Building Standard and support healthier spaces around the world.

Originally launched in 2023, Works with WELL was created as a product licensing program to help manufacturers showcase how their products contribute to WELL strategies and help project teams more easily identify solutions aligned with health and well-being goals. The program and its solution directory has been a tremendous support tool for project teams and specifiers around the world to access products and services already validated to support WELL strategies. The expanded program introduces a significantly enhanced platform experience for both manufacturers and specifiers, a streamlined application and review process and new pathways for alignment that broaden eligibility beyond product categories explicitly referenced within WELL requirements.

"Building connections by promoting product transparency"

With the updated program, organizations can now pursue alignment through three distinct pathways:

  • Directly Contributes — products and services that are explicitly called for and meet the relevant criteria within the WELL requirements
  • Measures — products that measure performance thresholds referenced in WELL strategies
  • Supports — products and services that support the implementation of WELL strategies, even when not explicitly referenced within WELL requirements

The addition of the new “Measures” and “Supports” pathways significantly expands the range of organizations eligible to participate in Works with WELL, opening the program to new categories of technologies, devices, services and operational solutions that help advance health and well-being in the built environment.

“As the healthy building movement continues to accelerate globally, a growing range of innovative products, technologies and services are helping advance human health and well-being in the built environment,” said Jessica Cooper, IWBI Chief Product Officer. “This evolution of Works with WELL is designed to match that pace, giving organizations more ways to connect their products and services to WELL strategies, and giving specifiers an easier way to find them.”

The redesigned program also introduces a refreshed user experience for both manufacturers and project teams. Updates include a streamlined, guided submission process, improved flexibility to define product skus or models, ease of editing and adding new images. All of these new features contribute to improved user navigation and enhanced visibility in the solution directory where users can identify products and services validated to align with WELL strategies.

Products and services validated to align with WELL strategies may use the Works with WELL mark to demonstrate how they relate to the global standard for making buildings and organizations a powerful venue for promoting health. The Works with WELL mark and its solution directory can help organizations strengthen brand visibility, build customer confidence and connect with growing market demand for healthier and higher-performing spaces.

As the market for healthy buildings continues to grow, with WELL programs already integrated in nearly 100,000 commercial and residential locations across more than six billion square feet of real estate, the expanded Works with WELL program reflects IWBI’s broader effort to support a growing ecosystem of organizations helping advance health, well-being and performance across buildings, organizations and communities.

What Works with WELL participants are saying about the program:

“We’ve taken the guesswork out of material health. By validating our most‑specified products against WELL’s material health features, the Works with WELL mark gives designers and clients a clear, credible path to achieving their certification goals.”

  • Eric Doyle, Global Sustainability, Steelcase

“Joining the Works with WELL program is a natural extension of UNICORN in every stall’s mission to support more inclusive and human-centered restroom experiences. The program provides a credible framework that aligns our solutions with leading standards for health, accessibility, and thoughtful building design. We believe the restroom is an important part of the overall building experience, and Works with WELL helps reinforce that vision in a meaningful and tangible way.”

  • Ellen Cynar, MS, MPH, Partnerships & Operations, UNICORN

“By validating that EcoWorx aligns with material health features within WELL, the Works with WELL mark makes it even easier for customers focused on health & wellbeing to make confident purchasing decisions.”

“For more than 40 years, Logitech has worked with industry leaders to unlock the power of people and teams to do their best work. By collaborating with IWBI and earning the Works with WELL mark on our workplace technology solutions, including Logitech Spot and Rally Board 65, we give global enterprise leaders the tools and real-time insights they need to optimize their workspaces in ways that benefit both people and the planet.”

  • David Houseman, Global Head of Workplace Experience, Logitech

Key Points

  • The only food bank in El Paso, Texas, has expanded its capacity to get food to people in need across a three-county area.
  • The El Pasoans Fighting Hunger food bank took delivery of the tractor portion of a semi-truck donated by Marathon Petroleum and its midstream component, MPLX.
  • The tractor will be used daily to haul trailers of frozen and non-perishable food to pantries, shelters and distribution events.

The tractor portion of a semi-truck that delivered fuels for years is now hauling cargo of a much different kind: food for people in need in the El Paso, Texas, area. The El Pasoans Fighting Hunger (EPFH) food bank recently received the vehicle as a donation to expand its capacity to supply partner pantries and distribution sites across three counties.

“Every mile matters,” said EPFH CEO Kris Yagel. “This truck helps us reach more neighbors, strengthen our partnerships and ensure food gets where it’s needed most.”

The donation from Marathon Petroleum Corporation (MPC) involved its El Paso refinery and midstream segment, MPLX, which provided the unit from a fleet in its Transport & Rail component. This effort is an outgrowth of the refinery’s ongoing assistance to the food bank, which includes annual grants and employee volunteer support of monthly food distributions on refinery grounds.

“Many of our employees grew up here in El Paso, and our refinery is deeply connected to the community and with El Pasoans Fighting Hunger in particular, so we look for ways to make substantial impacts,” El Paso Vice President of Refining Les Davis said. “The additional ability that this donation brings will truly make many people’s lives better. It will be exciting to see the blue MPC semi out in the community doing the food bank’s great work.”

A man speaking at a lectern.

As El Paso’s only food bank, EPFH is the distribution center for almost 100 partner pantries. In 2024 alone, the food bank distributed 110 million pounds of food across El Paso, Hudspeth and Culberson counties.

“The tractor just came off active duty, and we removed the telematics and camera system and then detailed the unit,” said MPLX Transport Asset Reliability Manager Sam McCullough. “It’s great knowing that this tractor will be used daily to move food more efficiently to local distribution events and shelters.”

Depending upon the logistical needs of a given day, the tractor will be paired with different trailers to carry food. These include a refrigerated trailer that the El Paso refinery donated to EPFH several years ago.

“The refrigerated trailer has been put to great use, and adding a tractor is a natural extension of our efforts to increase deliveries that benefit families, seniors and children,” said El Paso Refinery Principal Corporate Social Responsibility & Community Relations Representative V.J. Smith. “We are honored to be in position to help the food bank expand its reach.”

 

Information wants to be free.

But too often it ends up locked away behind opaque reporting systems, busy experts, and data stores that won’t cooperate with each other. When that means I can’t get my bike computer to read my heart rate from my watch, that’s annoying, but I’ll live with it. When it means that our industry doesn’t have the reporting it needs to make data informed decisions about addressing supply chain driven climate impacts that’s a problem Cascale needs to solve.

Cascale’s Member Analytics Portal (MAP) is a member-only dashboard that provides aggregated, anonymized insights from Higg Index data. It frees Higg Index data and makes it easy to act on internally. With a user-friendly interface that enables fast exploration and even custom report building, all Cascale Corporate members can feel confident to internally analyze, measure, and act upon their Higg Index data.

Why now? Anyone attending my data sessions in years past at the Annual Meeting will recall that the MAP was soft-launched to select members in November 2023, and shared more broadly among members in April 2024. Over those years we’ve received a lot of member feedback, much of it positive, some of it negative, but all of it kind and useful and we’ve been able to take member experiences with the MAP to create a reporting platform that shines across a broad set of member use cases:

Pinpoint hotspots. Compare sustainability performance data. Access gaps in Scope 3 reporting. Compare facility data. Export it all into one easy downloadable Excel report. The MAP unlocks data strides for our industry.

How to Use MAP 

The MAP provides value for Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting by tracking progress across sustainability initiatives, and delivers valuable Higg Index data insights to industry stakeholders.

The use cases are immediate. With MAP, Corporate members can:

  • Highlight high-impact hotspots in the supply chain
  • Compare sustainability performance to industry averages through Higg Facility Environmental Module (Higg FEM) and Higg Brand & Retail Module (Higg BRM) data
  • Complete data gaps for Scope 3 environmental reporting
  • Compare facility data
  • Access and download results from each view to integrate with Higg FEM data in Excel.
  • MAP offers a range of views, including Higg BRM benchmarking, Higg FEM energy and water data to help members analyze performance and track sustainability progress.

During testing, one Cascale member cited MAP’s ease of access and pointed toward the ability to at some point enable better conversations between vendors. Another member noted how MAP was not only “fun” but “immensely helpful.”

It’s available now to explore for Cascale Corporate members, but before diving into the data, there are a few helpful points for members to keep in mind.

How NOT to Use Map 

This data is meant for Cascale Corporate member companies to utilize internally and act upon however their sustainability journey merits! It is not meant to be shared or communicated externally. Once again, MAP cannot be used to make external comparative claims or industry-wide performance assessments.

Remember, Cascale does not – and will not – endorse any member external data claims or verify the accuracy of such analyses. Information may be free but it still requires a responsibility for proper usage.

With the MAP, we believe our members will gain the confidence to proceed confidently in their own data-driven discoveries.

Onward!

On Global Accessibility Awareness Day, Lenovo is spotlighting how its Inclusive Product Design Office (IPDO) is partnering with teams across the company to champion accessibility through both hardware and software innovation, helping create experiences that are more inclusive by design.

Creating smarter technology for all starts with understanding that people interact with technology in different ways.

That belief is driving Lenovo’s approach to inclusive design and accessibility across its product portfolio. On Global Accessibility Awareness Day, Lenovo is spotlighting how its Inclusive Product Design Office (IPDO) is partnering with teams across the company to champion accessibility through both hardware and software innovation, helping create experiences that are more inclusive by design.

Working closely with engineers, designers, and product teams, helps identify accessibility barriers early, align products with evolving standards, and improve experiences across Lenovo’s portfolio. This approach helps ensure accessibility is built into products, not added later.

Today, that work is becoming increasingly visible across Lenovo’s ThinkPad portfolio through a growing range of accessibility-focused hardware and software enhancements.

“Accessibility and inclusive design are fundamental to our ThinkPad portfolio, said Tom Butler, Vice President, Commercial Portfolio & Product Management, Intelligent Devices Group, Lenovo. By embedding these features in both our hardware and software from the onset of design, we’re intentionally making technology more accessible, inclusive, and better for everyone.”

Recent updates include tactile keyboard markings, grouped function keys, distinct arrow keys, anti-glare display treatments, higher display brightness targets, one-handed opening support, non-slip materials, and more accessible packaging. Together, these improvements support users with low vision, mobility limitations, and dexterity challenges while also improving usability for a broader range of customers.

Making system feedback more accessible

One recent enhancement is focused on making important system information more accessible through multiple forms of feedback.

Historically, many important system states (such as volume, mute, brightness, battery level, or charger connection) were communicated primarily through visual indicators like LEDs or pre-configured assistive tools. For some users, especially those with low vision, this could make essential information harder to access quickly.

To improve accessibility, Lenovo introduced audible and spoken feedback for key hardware events through Lenovo Vantage, creating an additional channel for system communication.

The result is a more inclusive and resilient experience. Users can now immediately understand important system changes without relying solely on visual cues, improving accessibility while also making interactions more intuitive in everyday situations.

Accessibility through flexibility

Another recent advancement focuses on how users physically interact with devices.

Trackpad palm rejection technology is typically designed to prevent unintended input while typing. However, for some users with limb differences or alternative interaction methods, rigid palm rejection behavior can unintentionally limit usability.

To improve flexibility, Lenovo introduced adjustable trackpad palm rejection settings, allowing users to modify or disable the feature based on their needs and preferred interaction style.

This gives users more control over how they engage with their device and supports a wider range of mobility and dexterity needs. It also demonstrates how inclusive design often comes from rethinking assumptions about how technology “should” be used.

Supporting accessibility in complex software environments

The IPDO’s work also extends beyond hardware, helping teams improve accessibility across Lenovo software experiences.

During development of Lenovo Performance Tuner, teams identified that users relying on keyboard navigation and screen readers were missing critical system feedback. Messages could feel repetitive or unclear, and content updates were not always communicated effectively.

Working together, IPDO and development teams introduced clearer keyboard shortcuts, tested compatibility with major screen readers, simplified system messaging, and added live status updates.

The result was a more intuitive experience with reduced cognitive load and faster, more confident task completion.

As Carrington Wilmer, TPM, Workstation Software & Solutions Architecture, explained:
“Designing our product to be accessible allowed us to provide a better solution for our customers.”

The IPDO also partnered with teams working on a complex cloud software interface built within a Windows Presentation Foundation environment. The project involved aligning with accessibility standards such as WCAG 2.2 (Web Content Accessibility Guide) and the European Accessibility Act (EAA) while improving compatibility with assistive technologies.

The team helped clarify how User Interface Automation supports assistive technologies, identified improvements to labelling and structure, and guided developers through accessibility implementation decisions.

“The IPDO provided invaluable guidance and feedback for our team in implementing WCAG 2.2 and EAA requirements,” shared Brian Riggan, a Lenovo Software Engineer. “Their input clarified the user experience and taught us how to think about the guidelines in a holistic way.”

Accessibility as a driver of better design

Together, these examples show how Lenovo is viewing accessibility: not as a compliance exercise, but as a driver of smarter product design.

By integrating accessibility considerations across hardware and software experiences, Lenovo is helping create products that are more adaptable, intuitive, and inclusive from the start. This aligns closely with Lenovo’s ESG priorities, including its commitment to inclusion and positive social impact.

On Global Accessibility Awareness Day, Lenovo recognizes that accessibility is an ongoing journey, one that continues to shape how products are designed, developed, and experienced.

Through the work of IPDO and collaboration across teams worldwide, Lenovo is continuing to advance inclusive design across its portfolio, helping ensure technology is more accessible, adaptable, and empowering for all.
