Coinciding with Cancer Awareness Month, this event underscores Bloomberg’s commitment to improving awareness of all types of cancer among its employees, their families, and communities.

Giuseppe Netti, Regional Head of Bloomberg, Middle East & Africa said: “Breaking a Guinness World Records™ title is a testament to the dedication and collaboration of our Bloomberg team. We are proud to contribute to cancer awareness and make a meaningful difference in our community.”

All the ribbons will be donated to the Friends of Cancer Patients, a non-profit organization in the UAE and one of Bloomberg’s Corporate Philanthropy partners. This partnership reflects Bloomberg’s dedication to supporting organizations that make a significant impact in the fight against cancer.

Manisha Mehrotra, Head of Diversity and Inclusion, Europe Middle East and Africa, Bloomberg LP said: “Our achievement today exemplifies Bloomberg’s commitment to diversity, inclusion, and social responsibility. Through our philanthropic efforts, we aim to create positive legacy change.”

This accomplishment not only sets a new Guinness World Records™ title, but also highlights Bloomberg’s dedication to making a positive impact on critical societal issues, such as cancer awareness and support.

Hamida serves on the Fox School of Business Dean’s Student Advisory Council to help plan alumni panels and days of service.

For Jose, the Now for Tomorrow Scholarship eased the financial stress associated with college, helping him focus on learning.

“As a first-generation college student, I had no blueprint for how the college process works or how to pay for things,” Jose said. “The scholarship took that burden away so I can spend more time focusing on studying and completing an internship this summer.”

CLEVELAND, October 13, 2023 /3BL/ – KeyBank Community Development Lending and Investment (CDLI) provided $17.1 million in Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) equity and a $24.1 million permanent loan through the Fannie Mae forward MBS Tax-Exempt Bond (MTEB) program for the acquisition and rehabilitation of Tomkins Terrace, an affordable multifamily property in Beacon, New York. The $24.1 million of tax-exempt MTEB bonds were sold by KeyBanc Capital Markets.

Tompkins Terrace is a 193-unit garden-style apartment community available to households earning no more than 50% and 60% of the area median income (AMI). Of the total units, 61 of them will benefit from the Section 8 Housing Assistance Program (HAP) program. Situated on 16.32 acres, the property will offer amenities such as central laundry, a clubhouse and community room, a playground, off-street surface parking, on-site management, and central A/C. Tompkins Terrace was originally constructed in 1973 and received previous renovations in 2008.

The project sponsor, Related Affordable, LLC (“Related”), is an experienced real estate development company headquartered in New York with a focus on affordable and market-rate multifamily projects.

Residents will have access to supportive services through an on-site management team, in partnership with Related Affordable Foundation, to provide an on-site food pantry and meal deliveries to help address food insecurity.

Tompkins Terrace is located near the Hudson River and less than a mile from local amenities, including bus stops, a police department, riverfront park, train station, fire department, a bank, gas station, and elementary school. The Metro-North Railroad station in Beacon offers transit throughout the region and is located less than half of a mile south of the property.

Anna Belanger and Nicholas Hoffer of KeyBank CDLI structured the financing. Sam Adams of KeyBanc Capital Markets marketed the MTEB bonds.

Principal Financial Group® has released its second Principal Sustainable Financing Report to highlight the proceeds allocated to eligible green and social assets from the issuance of the company’s $600 million sustainability bond in August 2021. The report details allocation and key performance indicators of the proceeds which went toward green buildings (75%), renewable energy (9%), and affordable housing (16%).

The bond is one example of the company’s commitment to advancing Sustainable practices in its organization and operations – with a client-first focus central to how Environmental, Social, and Governance factors are integrated across investment portfolios.

To govern the process for this sustainability bond and future issues of green, social, and sustainability bonds, Principal created the Principal Sustainable Financing Framework (the “Framework”). According to the Framework, eligible assets may include existing or future investments that meet defined criteria to help advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (U.N. SDGs). A business is only eligible if 90% or more of its revenue is derived from activities and criteria that align with U.N. SDGs. Principal obtained an independent Second-Party Opinion on its Sustainable Financing Framework. For more detail, see the Second-Party Opinion from Sustainalytics.

The sustainability bond was a five-year $600 million funding agreement-backed note (FABN) issued through Principal Life Global Funding II. BNP Paribas Securities Corp. served as the sole sustainability structuring agent and joint book runner with BofA Securities, Inc. and HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. for the sustainability bond, which drew the interest of over 60 investors.

In accordance with the company’s commitment to transparency, Principal reengaged Sustainalytics, a qualified, independent external reviewer, to verify and provide third-party, limited assurance with respect to the management of the Principal Sustainable Financing proceeds and compatibility of the selected Eligible Assets with the Principal Sustainable Financing Framework.

Truckers are in short supply in the U.S. due to a difficult labor market caused by harsh schedules, wage stagnation, and high up-front costs. Despite the high demand, the trucking industry has had a shortage of drivers for over 15 years. The demand for truck drivers is compounding as the popularity of online shopping and next-day delivery continues to rise. Without major changes, the industry will require an extra 160,000 drivers by 2030.

To address the trucker shortage, the mobile energy delivery company Booster created its internal training program for truckers called CDL (Commercial Driver’s License) Academy. “CDL Academy helps improve the lives of people in the communities we serve,” said Samuel Steinmetz, the company’s manager of ops quality and training. “In 2021, the median personal income in the U.S. was $37,552. At Booster, entry-level service professionals earn $52,000 to $62,400 per year.”

Other trucking companies have CDL training programs, but they often come with up-front costs and low beginning wages that keep many would-be truckers from getting their license.

The idea to create a trucker training program at Booster started with Steinmetz. After working at Booster for two years, he saw how difficult it was to find licensed truck drivers willing to do the work that Booster service professionals do — and to retain those drivers once they’re hired.

“I lobbied our leadership to do our commercial driver training in-house and teach them how to go get their license,” Steinmetz said. “We saw such a big opportunity to drive value for all our stakeholders, they gave me a crack at it. Our pilot had 15 people, and it changed the culture of that yard permanently. From there, it turned into a full-time job. Running CDL Academy and expanding it into our other markets has become a part of the way Booster does business.”

Candidates wanting to get a job with Booster and become service professionals with a clear career path must first go through typical pre-hire Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements including background screening and fingerprinting. After progressing through the background check, candidates are assigned to shifts. They spend the first two hours of each shift learning how to get a commercial driver’s license, and the next six to eight hours learning how to do the job of a Booster service professional, pumping fuel and servicing customer accounts. “We have small equipment that does not require a CDL to operate, so while they’re in training, they operate the smaller equipment,” Steinmetz explained. Candidates have up to 90 days to complete the training program, but Steinmetz noted that he has seen people complete the program in as little as 30 days. 

For Booster, investing in growth and development has been a success. “Looking at our data, it’s clear that our CDL Academy produces high-quality teammates who are committed to what we’re doing, as seen by the low attrition rates of graduates,” Steinmetz said. 

Bringing in high-quality employees is especially critical for Booster because the service professionals’  job is different from the ‘typical’ trucking job. 

Steinmetz noted that the national trends that have contributed to the trucker shortage, such as aging labor pools and stagnant wages, are not the same issues that affect Booster. “We look for a different talent profile than many other companies in the industry. There are a lot of people who are interested in driving and would like to enter the industry, but aren’t looking for a job that requires them to drive for 10 straight hours or be away from home for long stretches. That’s where Booster comes in.” 

Steinmetz believes candidates who come to CDL Academy and want to work for Booster are attracted to the company because the company provides ample opportunity for career advancement and benefits that other companies in the industry can’t offer. “Booster is different,” Steinmetz said. “We offer our service professionals the chance to be home every day, flexible schedules, tech-enabled work, and a balance between service and driving. And on top of that, we give them the training they need to build a career they love and can grow in.”

The trucking industry has a 5.4 percent unemployment rate, but turnover remains high, with about 40 percent of truckers staying at a given carrier for less than a year before moving on. “That last part hurts us. We need people to learn the job and stay,” Steinmetz said. “It’s easy to teach people how to drive a truck, but it is difficult to learn the job and choose to stay long-term. We need to find people who are already a good cultural fit and then teach them what they need to know.”

NEW YORK, October 13, 2023 /3BL/ – The National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) honored Subaru of America, Inc. with the Centennial Leadership Award at its New York Gala for the automaker’s ongoing commitment and support for our national parks. The President and COO of Subaru of America, Inc. Jeff Walters accepted the award. The event was held at the American Museum of Natural History and included more than 300 guests.

NPCA’s park expertise paired with Subaru’s innovation and commitment to sustainability offered a unique opportunity to work together to keep millions of pounds of waste out of parks. The work that Subaru, NPCA and its partners have accomplished together will last for generations.

NPCA first partnered with Subaru in 2015 to help three national parks reduce their waste going to landfills as part of the Don’t Feed the Landfills Initiative. The successful pilot program has grown, now extending to more national parks and communities across the country.

Guided by Subaru’s sustainability expertise and leadership, the partnership has helped reduce waste at iconic places including Denali, Yosemite, and Grand Teton National Parks, recycling or composting 22 million pounds of waste that otherwise would have gone to landfills. Additionally, more than 2.5 million pounds of food waste was instead composted, and the ripple effects of these efforts extend to surrounding park communities.

“Subaru leads by example and lives by their principles, helping to inspire millions of people about how they can reduce their waste at our parks,” said Theresa Pierno, President and CEO for the National Parks Conservation Association. “We jumped at the opportunity to work with industry leaders like Subaru on this project that we knew would have a lasting impact. Generations of people will benefit from the investments they are making to support our parks’ sustainability efforts today. Subaru is so deserving of this recognition, and I am honored to celebrate them in this way.”

The successes and long-term impact of the waste reduction initiative can be attributed to the collaborative community-based approach in and around national parks. With a network of more than 40 park concessionaires and partners supporting the effort, the challenging work that began at Denali, Yosemite and Grand Teton is changing the way millions of park visitors experience our parks and how they play a critical role in keeping waste out of them. The lessons learned at the first three pilot parks provide a roadmap for more national parks to implement successful sustainable practices and the opportunity to educate park visitors about how they can help.

The zero-landfill initiative is part of Subaru Loves the Earth®, the automaker’s environmentally focused philanthropic pillar of the Subaru Love Promise. Subaru believes in being a positive force in the communities where they live and work, not just with donations, but with actions that set an example for others to follow and create change in the areas which the company and Subaru owners care about the most.

“At Subaru, we are committed to protecting the Earth through smart environmental practices and advocacy in order to ensure the vitality of our planet’s natural spaces,” said Jeff Walters, President and COO of Subaru of America. “Like our customers, Subaru of America wants our national parks to exist as a resource for countless future generations, and we proudly take on that responsibility in partnership with the National Parks Conservation Association.”

NPCA’s New York Gala offers an influential gathering of dignitaries including business leaders and the conservation and environmental communities.
