Protein is having more than a moment. We’re in a foundational shift – more GLP-1 use means more protein consumption; an aging population is leaning on protein for muscle mass and animal protein keeps winning on taste over the alternatives that tried to compete with it. But this isn’t just a demand story. It’s a supply story too, and one that’s been stress-tested at the start of the decade when COVID demand drove empty meat cases.

That’s what brought me to Donnie King, CEO of Tyson Foods, for our latest Shared Table conversation. I’ve called on Tyson for 40 years, and I’ve had the privilege of not only watching Donnie lead but also building a friendship. He started in a poultry plant in 1982 and rose to CEO of a company whose products sit in 70% of U.S. households. As he prepares to close a remarkable 43-year career, we sat down in the Tyson cafeteria to talk about leadership, legacy, protein and where our industry goes next.

Not a Trend – A Structural Shift

Donnie doesn’t see today’s protein demand as a fad. He pointed to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Dietary Guidelines flipping the food pyramid upside down, away from carbs and toward protein.

GLP-1s changed the game. 15% of U.S. adults have now used a GLP-1, and Morgan Stanley estimates that nearly 30% of the obese or diabetic population in the U.S. will likely be treated with GLP-1 therapies by 2035. Globally, 1 in 4 adults meet the eligibility criteria for GLP-1 weight management according to a study of data from 99 countries. That’s a lot of people who need – and want – better protein.

Why Plant-Based Lost the Race

Plant-based had its moment. Meatless Mondays, plant-based burgers on fast food menus, but consumers swung back. Donnie points to ingredient lists as “long as your arm” and a nutritional profile that just doesn’t match animal protein. That’s part of why he challenged Tyson’s own team to simplify their ingredient lists too, rather than waiting for consumers to demand a cleaner label. Taste, cost, nutrition: plant-based struggles to win on all three at once. Animal protein delivers on all of them.

Best Quote: “You can never lose sight of the consumer and what their expectations are. And I will say to the day I die that consumers buy based on taste first. If it doesn’t taste good, you can’t sell it.”

Meeting the Protein Demand

The U.S. has its smallest cattle herd in 75 years. Donnie’s read is structural – the money exists across the chain, but it isn’t distributed in a way so everyone shares the upside. Until ranchers and other parts of the chain have earnings consistency to reinvest, he doesn’t see the herd rebuilding.

Big Takeaway: The protein revolution is real and durable. However, it will take an industry willing to fix win-lose economics in places like beef, keep investing in animal health and never lose sight of what gets a consumer to buy: taste, cost, nutrition.

The Man Behind the Company

The stat that stuck with me wasn’t about protein – it was about people. Donnie shared his experience meeting Don Tyson in 1984, on a Friday night, at 22, on a factory floor. Tyson had just bought the plant and showed up unannounced to talk to everyone on the line. “He made me feel like the most important person in the world. He didn’t know me from anyone. There was no reason for him to do that.”

Moment to Remember: For Donnie, leadership isn’t about sitting in a corner office – it’s about being with the people. Pulling up a chair in the cafeteria to share a meal isn’t a routine; it’s how he keeps a genuine pulse on the organization and listens to what matters most. True connection isn’t something you lose at scale – it’s something you choose every day.

That’s the same instinct Donnie’s carried for 43 years. He still eats lunch in the Tyson cafeteria most days. He starts every morning in prayer, not just for himself, but for the 130,000+ people at Tyson. When asked what he wants his legacy to be, Donnie deflected credit to his team, not himself. “Doing this job has really never been a job. It’s always been a calling. I get to feed people. I get to work with people. I get to be a part of satisfying a need along with 133,000 other team members. You know, I love this place.”

Thank you, Donnie, for your unwavering support of science and animal health, your leadership and for sharing your table and wisdom as you transition into this next chapter.

Many EHS professionals are already collecting much of the information that may ultimately support CSRD reporting. The challenge is understanding what existing materials can be used, what key differences may apply, and how to prepare for any remaining gaps before the new requests start arriving.

In this discussion, Antea Group’s technical experts will walk through common EHS materials that organizations already collect today, how CSRD may change the way that information is defined, documented, and reported, and what teams can do now to get ahead of future disclosure requirements.

Using real-world examples from water, permitting, waste, pollution prevention, health and safety, climate risk, and energy management, we’ll explore how familiar EHS processes can support broader reporting needs without creating an entirely separate program.

Attendees will learn:

1. What EHS teams are likely already doing that can be leveraged to support CSRD readiness
2. Key differences between traditional EHS metrics and CSRD reporting expectations
3. How the Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) determines what EHS data is required and how that insight can inform decision making
4. Why data quality, documentation, and audit readiness matter
5. Practical steps organizations can take today to prepare for future reporting requests

   Whether you’re supporting a single facility or overseeing EHS programs across multiple locations, this session will help you understand what CSRD means in practical terms and how to prepare with confidence.

PHILALELPHIA, PA, October 9, 2026 /3BL/ – New data from Tork, an Essity brand and the global leader in professional hygiene, reveals a significant appreciation gap: while the majority (56%) of restroom users agree that cleaning is hard work and that cleaning teams deserve more recognition for their efforts, 21% admit they mean to thank cleaners when they see them but rarely do¹.At the same time, research on cleaning staff highlights significant workforce strain: 38% of cleaners surveyed have left their jobs due to lack of recognition and burnout² – factors that are unrelated to pay and which contribute to recruitment and retention challenges across the cleaning industry. Additionally, 70% of cleaners report inadequate employer support, and 80% have experienced mental health challenges as a result of their work³.“The gap between good intentions and actual appreciation, combined with widespread cleaner burnout, represents an urgent business challenge,” said Amy Bellcourt, Vice President of Communications at Essity. “When cleaning staff feel unsupported and invisible, it directly impacts facility cleanliness, the restroom user experience, and ultimately, business reputation and revenue.”The stakes for facilities are substantial. Of restroom users surveyed, 4 in 5 said hygiene issues in the restroom make them feel worse about an entire business. In fact, many actively avoid a venue or business due to issues with hygiene or privacy⁴. Poor restroom experiences may lead customers to take action: leaving negative reviews, avoiding purchases, or in the case of employees, spending less time at the workplace and working from home more often⁵.

Tork offers free training as a thank you to cleaning professionals

To address these workforce challenges, Tork partnered with ISSA (The Association for Cleaning and Facility Solutions) to offer Frontline Excellence: Delivering Clean, Safe, and Welcoming Spaces via the Inclusive Hygiene Framework – a new online training course, available in English and Spanish, designed specifically for frontline cleaning professionals in North America. As a limited-time thank you, Tork is covering the cost of training for nonmembers.The 30-minute, self-paced course equips cleaning professionals with practical skills, knowledge, and confidence to deliver hygiene services that go beyond appearance, helping create environments that are clean, safe, accessible, and welcoming for everyone. By investing in professional development and training, facility managers can help cleaners build new skills while strengthening their connection to the purpose and value of their work – driving engagement, improving retention, and supporting more consistent, high-quality hygiene outcomes.”Tork has long championed cleaning professionals through research and solutions designed to improve hygiene outcomes,” Bellcourt continued. “Thank Your Cleaner Day is an opportunity for us to demonstrate that commitment in a meaningful way. By launching this comprehensive training in partnership with ISSA, we’re equipping frontline teams with the tools and knowledge to succeed, removing barriers they face every day, and ultimately improving both their experience and the experience of facility users. That’s inclusive hygiene in action.”The course is available through the ISSA Academy and is free for both ISSA members and nonmembers. Nonmembers can register for free with the promotional code NMFREE (to access, first create a free account; after checkout, training will appear in your MYISSA account under “My Activity”).

View the ESRS fashion-show image

Sustainability reporting managers must sometimes feel like fashionistas. Each year there is a new idea, a new style emerges, and “everything changes.” This year’s “hot new look” is something called ESRS: European Sustainability Reporting Standards. It is an odd combination of last year’s skirt (ISSB), the previous year’s pants (SFDR), plus a few added ruffles and flounces.

The underlying idea is that all companies should report at least a certain set of sustainability information. The hope is that stakeholders would use these metrics to better understand how a particular company is performing.

This is a lofty goal that may sound familiar? We’ve been told many times that investors need standardized stable data. We’ve also heard that regulators and governments need it. And, that good data would make supply chains function better. While these needs and benefits may be true, it is unclear that the information generated by ESRS will achieve these goals. We can expect that many companies will report only some indicators. When they report, they will do so in inconsistent ways that make it hard to compare one company to another. The initially-chosen indicators will not include things certain groups want. Many companies will be too small to report. Companies outside the EU may find ways to avoid reporting. Etc.

Nevertheless, fashion rules and sustainability reporting managers need to start working on their outfits! How will your company look, when viewed from the ESRS perspective? Which of your peers will seem most attractive and which will suffer? Are there any major partners or suppliers who could be in trouble when the standards come into effect?

CSRHub has built a readiness calculator that can help answer these questions. Once a reporting manager understands where their firm may be stronger or weaker, they can start to engage with the plethora of consultants and software platforms who are offering to help. We provide a quick, easy, and relatively inexpensive start to what may turn out to be another long, difficult and expensive adoption process.

Use CSRHub like a mirror. See how fabulous you are! It is a good way to start this particular journey. See the new CSRHub ESRS Readiness Calculator here.

CSRHub helps you compare performance against peers with a consensus view, not one source. We identify the factors shaping your ratings and help you focus improvement efforts where they will have the greatest impact. For more information, we welcome hearing from you. Please contact us here.

As the weather cools and the year begins to wind down, fall is a good time for older adults to check in on their health. From scheduling recommended screenings to staying up to date on vaccines, preventive care can help identify potential health concerns early and support better health through the winter months and beyond.

We spoke with Jean Reidy, Adult Nurse Practitioner at Oak Street Health, about preventive care steps older adults should prioritize this fall and why now is a great time to plan for the year ahead.

Q: As we approach the end of the year, what’s the most important thing older adults should do to stay on top of their health?

Jean Reidy: I encourage older adults to think of this time of year as a health check-in. Make sure you’re up to date on your Annual Wellness Visit, recommended vaccines and preventive screenings. These appointments can help identify health concerns early and provide a clear plan for staying healthy in the months ahead.

Q: Many people have heard of a Medicare Annual Wellness Visit. What actually happens during that appointment?

Jean Reidy: A Medicare Annual Wellness Visit is focused on prevention and planning for your future health. During the visit, we review your medical history, update your personalized care plan, check important health indicators like blood pressure and screen for concerns such as depression or cognitive changes. It’s an opportunity to take a comprehensive look at your health and identify ways to stay well.

Q: Cold and flu season is here. Which vaccines should older adults be thinking about this time of year?

Jean Reidy: If you haven’t already, now is a great time to talk with your health care provider about vaccines that may be recommended for you. That can include an annual flu shot, updated COVID-19 vaccine, and vaccines that help protect against shingles, pneumonia and RSV. Your provider may recommend additional vaccines based on your age, health history and individual needs. Staying current on vaccinations can help reduce the risk of serious illness and complications during the fall and winter months.

Q: What screenings or preventive health checks should older adults discuss with their doctor?

Jean Reidy: The right screenings depend on a person’s age, medical history and risk factors. Common preventive screenings include colon cancer screenings, mammograms, prostate cancer screenings and lung cancer screenings for people with a history of smoking. It’s also important not to overlook mental health screenings, particularly as we move into the winter months when some people may experience increased feelings of isolation or depression.

Q: We often focus on physical health, but what about mental health as the days get shorter and colder?

Jean Reidy: Mental health deserves just as much attention as physical health. Changes in weather, shorter days and spending less time with friends and family can affect how people feel. That’s why it’s important to talk openly about changes in mood, energy or interest in activities. At Oak Street Health, we screen patients for depression and have behavioral health specialists who work alongside primary care providers to help connect patients with the support they may need.

Q: What’s one message you’d like older adults to remember this fall?

Jean Reidy: Don’t wait until something feels wrong to prioritize your health. Preventive care can help you stay ahead of potential health concerns and give you the resources and support needed to maintain your health and independence. A few simple steps today can make a meaningful difference in the months and years ahead.

Q: Where can people go to learn more?

Jean Reidy: To learn more or find a location near you, visit OakStreetHealth.com. You can also stop by a local center, meet the care team and learn more about how Oak Street Health supports patients year-round.

LINCOLN, Neb., October 9, 2026 /3BL/ – As the two-year anniversaries of Hurricanes Helene (Sept. 26, 2024) & Milton (Oct. 9, 2024) making landfall arrive this fall, the Arbor Day Foundation has planted almost 7 million of the 10 million trees it pledged to communities and forestlands in states impacted by hurricanes.

Passing the two-thirds mark comes less than two years into what was announced as a five-year commitment.

The Foundation announced the pledge in October 2024, days after Helene and Milton made landfall within two weeks of each other and tore through forests and neighborhoods across Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. True to its approach of working alongside local planting partners rather than rushing to replant, the Foundation has phased the work as land, timing and community needs have allowed.

“When we make a commitment to communities or forestlands after disaster, we follow through alongside our partners,” said Dan Lambe, chief executive of the Arbor Day Foundation. “Reaching this point in under two years shows what’s possible when we collaborate with our outstanding corporate and individual supporters to get resources to the right partners on the ground.”

The Foundation will continue organizing support from its corporate partners, members and supporters to restore landscapes across the six affected states and use data, mapping assessments and information from its local planting partners to help determine where and when trees can establish successfully.

The Arbor Day Foundation is a global nonprofit inspiring people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees. They foster a growing community of more than 1 million leaders, innovators, planters, and supporters united by their bold belief that a more hopeful future can be shaped through the power of trees.

Covia’s Blue Mountain plant in Havelock, Ontario, recently welcomed community members and neighbors to its annual community open house. Attendees learned about the plant’s operations and environmental stewardship efforts, as well as the many ways the mineral processed here, nepheline, is used in everyday products.

Dan Lyon, Covia’s Director of Operations, welcomed guests and provided an update on Blue Mountain’s products and production processes. The event also featured a variety of interactive and educational opportunities, giving attendees the chance to learn more about the operation, engage with site representatives, and participate in activities throughout the day. Guests took part in a question-and-answer session covering topics such as tailings management, transportation, water use, rail shipments, and ongoing investments to modernize the operation.

Complementing the operational update, Brett Jeffs, Covia’s Safety & Health Manager, provided an environmental overview, highlighting regulatory requirements, site inspections, and invasive species management efforts.

The event also hosted a special presentation by the Ontario Turtle Trauma Centre, which showcased its efforts to rehabilitate and protect Ontario’s native turtle species. Visitors met two ambassador turtles, Andrea and Rusty, and learned about the challenges turtles face in the wild. Andrea, a Blanding’s turtle, suffered head trauma after being struck by a vehicle in 2005, leaving her blind and unable to be released back into the wild. Rusty, an endangered wood turtle, lost both front legs after a raccoon attacked her in 2017. Today, both turtles serve as ambassadors for conservation and have permanent homes at the Ontario Turtle Trauma Centre. 

The connection with the Ontario Turtle Trauma Centre is particularly meaningful for Covia as many employees actively support turtle conservation efforts on site through a longstanding partnership with the local Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry office. Four species of turtle, including species at risk, nest and live on the Blue Mountain Plant’s property in the adjacent wetlands. In 2025, the plant successfully hatched and released 110 turtles. These hatchlings emerged from a total of 116 collected eggs, reflecting an impressive 95% hatch success rate. Covia remains committed to supporting turtle conservation initiatives that create lasting benefits for their local ecosystem.

The day concluded with guided tours. Visitors were given a firsthand look at where the nepheline originates and how the operation works.

Following another successful event, the Blue Mountain Plant looks forward to hosting future open houses and welcoming community members. Click to learn more about Covia’s Canadian operations.
