Lenovo has once again been recognized among the world’s Top 100 Most Sustainable Companies, according to the 2026 Corporate Knights Global 100 ranking unveiled today at the organization’s Annual CEO Roundtable during the World Economic Forum in Davos.

The Global 100—established in 2005—evaluates publicly traded companies with revenues above US$1B through updated methodology and exclusionary screens. For 2026, Corporate Knights assessed companies across three equally weighted metrics:

• Sustainable investments,
• Sustainable revenues as defined by the Corporate Knights Sustainable Economy Taxonomy, and
• Sustainable Revenue Momentum, measuring growth of sustainable revenue from 2022–2024.

This year’s results reinforce a powerful trend: Global 100 companies are growing their sustainable revenue streams at double the pace of their other revenues. Despite increased scrutiny and political headwinds toward ESG and climate action, these sustainability leaders continued to deliver strong financial performance in 2025.

“We’ve seen remarkable progress since our first inclusion in the Global 100 in 2015, both within our industry and across Lenovo,” said Mary Jacques, Executive Director of Global ESG and Regulatory Compliance at Lenovo. “Today, sustainability is an integral part of our revenue because of how it’s been built into our products, services, and solutions.”

This recognition adds to Lenovo’s growing list of ESG achievements over the past year, including positive evaluations from EcoVadis, CDP and MSCI ESG Ratings.

The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation is proud to present the latest edition of our quarterly giving series, highlighting the remarkable work in 2025 that helped drive our mission to empower young athletes and ensure sports are accessible to all.

In fiscal year 2025, we:

• Launched the Sports Matter Impact League, a multi-year partnership program in nine cities across the U.S. to support youth sports and drive long-term community impact.
   
• Partnered with The Josh Gibson Foundation to build a new state-of-the-art youth sports facility in the Pittsburgh area called the Josh Gibson Champions Club & SportsMatter Center.
   
• Debuted “Play It Forward: Game On”, a six-episode sport-themed renovation show on Nickelodeon that delivered incredible makeovers for under-resourced youth sports teams.

Play It Forward: Game On

On the field AND the TV screen! The DICK’S Sporting Goods’ Sports Matter Program and DICK’S’ in-house content and production studio, Cookie Jar & A Dream Studios, partnered with Nickelodeon for “Play It Forward: Game On”, a six episode sport-themed renovation show that pulled off jaw-dropping makeovers for under-resourced youth sports teams in the Atlanta area.

Each episode of the show, which premiered on Nov. 19, 2025, featured CBS Sports Analyst and two-time WNBA champion Renee Montgomery, two-time Emmy-nominated actor and Nickelodeon alum Kel Mitchell, YouTube star Jesser and The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation’s very own Director of Sports Matter and Community Relations Kristen Garmey!

“I am honored to have been a part of this project and see the kids’ reactions first-hand,” said Garmey. “One of my favorite moments was when I overheard a young athlete tell his friend ‘This is the best day of my life.’”

Sports Matter Surprises on The Kelly Clarkson Show

The Sports Matter Program got two shoutouts on The Kelly Clarkson Show! The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation partnered with the show to surprise LUCHA Wrestling Club, New York City’s first and only all-girls freestyle wrestling program, and Team IMPACT, a nonprofit recruiting children with serious illnesses and disabilities to become part of college sports teams, each with a $10,000 Sports Matter Grant.

We’re proud to support organizations like LUCHA Wrestling Club and Team IMPACT that are breaking barriers and creating opportunities for all kids in sports!

Teamwork Makes the Dream Work

For the second year in a row, DICK’S Sporting Goods teammates (employees) had the opportunity to nominate youth sports programs or organizations in need for a chance to receive a $5,000 – $25,000 Sports Matter Grant.

The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation approved 113 teammate submissions in 2025, with at least one submission from each store region, the Customer Support Center, our distribution centers and our field marketing managers. In total, The Foundation will commit over $1.7 million in Sports Matter Grants to these organizations.

Making Moves Before the Draft

The 2026 NFL Draft is coming to Pittsburgh in April, and The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation is excited to make a positive impact in our communities ahead of it. Through our work with GENYOUth and other partners, we’re tackling food insecurity and expanding access to physical activity across Western Pennsylvania.

Sports Matter is supporting GENYOUth’s signature culinary and gridiron fundraising event, Taste of the Draft, with a $50,000 contribution in advance of the NFL Draft. The contribution will support flag football programming at 91 schools across Western Pennsylvania to celebrate the 91st anniversary of the NFL Draft.

To kick things off, The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation presented Pittsburgh Allegheny 6-8 with a $10,000 Sports Matter Grant to support access to sports and play for students.

Working Together Toward One Goal

The mission of The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation is to inspire youth athletes and enable participation in youth sports, but we can’t do it alone! We’re grateful to support fellow partners with a shared belief in the power of sport to build character, increase confidence and teach life lessons.

In 2025 we granted:

• $1.25 million to Good Sports and $1.25 million to LISC for equipment and infrastructure work to organizations in nine critical markets

• $1.25 million to Every Kid Sports to help cover youth sport registration fees nationwide

Teammates also voted on which deserving Pittsburgh organization should receive a Sports Matter grant: Pittsburgh Youth Cricket or Pittsburgh Sailing League. In the spirit of giving, The Foundation announced $12,500 grants to BOTH organizations!

A Sports Matter Celebration on the Ice

Sports Matter green filled PPG Paints Arena for the 8th annual Sports Matter Game with the Pittsburgh Penguins! More than $20,000 was raised for our Sports Matter Program through our Sports Matter Auction and our special ticket offer. We were joined by local corporate and field teammates who are passionate about making a difference through Sports Matter.

During the game, The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation surprised both Woodland Hills Athletics and Pittsburgh I.C.E. with $25,000 Sports Matter Grants to help keep their youth athletes in the game.

Building on its relationship with the Washington Spirit, CVS expands its commitment to soccer through a new multi-year sponsorship with the league and federation, which includes a national community field investment and partnering with the Kansas City Current and Seattle Reign FC

Originally published on CVS Health Company News

WOONSOCKET, R.I. — CVS Pharmacy® has furthered its commitment to improving community health by becoming an Official Health and Wellness Partner of the U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) and the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) and is backing that sponsorship with a multi-year investment to develop community multi use soccer fields in select markets across the country.

“CVS Pharmacy is uniquely positioned to strengthen health at the community level,” said Len Shankman, Executive Vice President and President, Pharmacy and Consumer Wellness, CVS Health. “As an Official Health and Wellness Partner of U.S. Soccer and the NWSL, we have a valuable opportunity to deepen our ties in the neighborhoods we serve. Soccer positively impacts health and community connection,¹ making this sponsorship a natural fit. We’re proud to partner with the NWSL, as well as the U.S. Soccer Men’s and Women’s National Teams to help expand access to opportunities that will support wellness for generations of athletes to come.”

Building on its long-term support of women’s soccer, including partnering with the Washington Spirit since 2020, CVS will also sponsor the Seattle Reign FC and Kansas City Current. Together, these club-specific sponsorships will help bring resources, revitalized spaces and meaningful community impact to additional markets – reflecting a shared belief that access to sports, safe places to play and community connection are essential drivers of lifelong wellbeing.

“This partnership reflects the NWSL’s continued growth and our belief that the professional women’s game is a powerful catalyst for impact far beyond the pitch,” said Matt Soloff, SVP of Partnerships, National Women’s Soccer League. “Together with CVS and our clubs, we’re translating that growth into real investment in healthier communities and expanding access and opportunity for the next generation of players and fans.”

Community soccer field revitalization initiative

At the heart of the initiative is a commitment to develop community multiuse soccer fields in select markets through 2028, creating welcoming, accessible spaces where families, kids and neighbors can gather, play and connect. To support this work, CVS Pharmacy is teaming up with Alex Morgan, an NWSL icon and two-time Women’s World Cup champion, Olympic gold medalist, entrepreneur, philanthropist and mom, along with U.S. Soccer ambassadors and NWSL clubs to help amplify the stories of soccer’s positive impact on communities, on and off the field.

“Soccer has shaped my life in countless ways, and I’ve seen firsthand how access to the game can build confidence, health and community,” said Alex Morgan. “I’m excited to work with CVS to help ensure more kids and families can experience the joy and wellbeing soccer brings—starting with the fields where it all begins.”

Supporting soccer and community health

“At U.S. Soccer, we believe the game can make a real difference beyond the field,” said David Wright, Chief Commercial Officer of U.S. Soccer. “By working with CVS, a brand trusted by millions of families across the country, we have an opportunity to meet fans and families where they are and connect the game they love with everyday wellness.”

Beyond field improvements and to coincide with its club sponsorships, CVS Pharmacy will also amplify local causes and community programs that matter most to fans in Washington, D.C., Seattle and Kansas City. Through club-led initiatives, matchday experiences and community investments with the Washington Spirit, Seattle Reign FC and Kansas City Current, CVS will help foster more inclusive, welcoming environments that encourage movement, connection and everyday wellbeing, while supporting local economic development.

International Olympic Committee news

Key facts

• Milano Cortina 2026 is designed around existing infrastructure, with around 85% of competition venues existing or temporary
• A low-carbon transport plan prioritises trains and shuttles and targets 20% fewer cars compared to Torino 2006.
• Snow production is being kept to the minimum required for safe competition, supported by updated technology designed to improve efficiency in both energy and water use.
• Certified renewable electricity is powering almost all competition and non-competition venues. Temporary generators are limited, with most running on the renewable biofuel HVO.

As climate change reshapes sport and the Olympic Games, the IOC has made sustainability a strategic priority — reducing the footprint of the Games, protecting winter sport for future generations and helping host regions build long-term resilience. Milano Cortina 2026 reflects this evolution through a more flexible, regionally distributed model that maximises existing venues, reduces environmental impact and strengthens community resilience.

“Sustainability is not a word. It’s actions that translate into results,” said Christophe Dubi, IOC Executive Director of the Olympic Games, speaking at a press conference dedicated to sustainability at the Milano Cortina 2026 Main Press Centre. “For the IOC, for sport in general, sustainability is a priority. We don’t have the choice.”

That approach is reflected in the way Milano Cortina 2026 has been designed: tailored to Northern Italy’s specific context, and focused on delivering excellent sporting conditions while minimising environmental impact in a changing climate.

Games designed around existing venues

Making the most of what already exists remains one of the strongest ways to reduce impact.

Eleven out of thirteen competition venues are existing or temporary, including iconic locations such as Bormio, Val di Fiemme and Anterselva, which regularly host international winter sport events.

Cleaner energy and lower-carbon mobility

Across the venues, certified renewable electricity is powering almost all competition and non competition sites. Temporary generators are being kept to a minimum and used only in emergency situations, most run on the renewable biofuel HVO.

With events spread across multiple regions, Milano Cortina 2026 is prioritising public and collective transport in between the clusters by using trains and shuttles, reducing reliance on private cars for spectators and workforce.

Games-time mobility measures also include a smaller official fleet. The fleet has been reduced by around 20% compared to Torino 2006, encourages carpooling, and includes around 20% electric vehicles. Where possible, vehicles are running on HVO.

More responsible snowmaking kept to the minimum required

Milano Cortina 2026 is keeping snowmaking to the minimum required to ensure safe competition, supported by updated technology designed to improve efficiency in both energy and water use.

At ski venues, renewable electricity powers snowmaking systems, and the Games are using IT tools — including GPS and snow-depth systems — to help avoid overproduction. No chemicals are used in the process with food-grade dyes used for course marking.

Circular economy and social responsibility

Circular economy measures and social responsibility are also shaping Games delivery. Food leftovers are being recovered across venues and redistributed. Around 24,000 items from Paris 2024, including furniture and logistical equipment, are also being reused, reducing demand for new materials and supporting a more circular delivery model.

“The focus is on practical measures that last throughout the Games, from venue reuse to circular economy solutions and social responsibility,” said Gloria Zavatta, Sustainability & Impact Director of the Fondazione Milano Cortina 2026.

At the same time, the Games are strengthening community resilience in the host regions by accelerating upgrades to electricity, IT fiber connections and medical services.

“Our focus is on reducing the footprint of the Games while helping host regions adapt to the changing climate and strengthen long-term resilience.” said Julie Duffus, IOC Head of Sustainability.

Recognising climate action across sport

The IOC’s sustainability work goes beyond Games-time delivery. The IOC is on track to reduce its own carbon footprint by 50 per cent by 2030, and works across the Olympic Movement – with International Federations, National Olympic Committees and partners, including the United Nations – to drive action on climate and nature in sport.

The IOC Climate Action Award winners, announced last week, highlight efforts across the Olympic Movement to address climate change through sport.
