Ten leading forestry companies, managing almost 9 million hectares (22 million acres) of forests in 27 countries worth tens of billions of dollars, unite to help solve some of the world’s largest environmental challenges. 

LONDON, September 7, 2023 /3BL/ – Prompted by the urgent call to action on climate change, biodiversity loss, reducing emissions by halting and reversing deforestation, some of the world’s largest forestry companies are today launching a new initiative.

The group, known as the International Sustainable Forestry Coalition (ISFC), includes founding members Dasos Capital, F&W Forestry, Gresham House, Marubeni, Mitsui & Co., Ltd (Mitsui), New Forests, Oji Holdings Corporation, Rayonier, Stora Enso and UPM.

Collectively these companies manage almost 9 million hectares of forests in 27 countries being Australia, New Zealand, USA, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, Ireland, UK, Finland, Sweden, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, France, Poland, Spain, Portugal, Indonesia, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Uganda, Tanzania and Mozambique. 

Executive Director of the ISFC Ross Hampton said, “ISFC’s mission is to advocate for increasing the global provision of renewable materials in the context of a circular bioeconomy; supporting growth that is compatible with climate and nature recovery imperatives; embedding science-based principles in policy and incentives; and increasing benefits to rural and Indigenous Peoples.”

“The ISFC is committed to help solve the challenges laid out in the Glasgow Leaders Declaration on Forests and Land Use, being progressed by the Forests and Climate Leaders Partnership (FCLP). The private forestry sector is a vital partner to mobilize capital at the scale required to deliver on these ambitions and the applicable United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.”

Convening Chair of the ISFC, and Chair of nature-based real assets manager, New Forests, Dr. David Brand said, “For the forestry sector to play a greater role in the overarching sustainability transition it needs to engage more directly with the Climate Change and Biodiversity COPs, with initiatives such as the Forests and Climate Leaders Partnership and with other policy processes related to the conservation and sustainable management of forests.

“There is an expectation that the forestry sector needs to grow and contribute to a transition to greater use of sustainable, renewable, naturally decomposable materials in society; to a sustainable built environment; and to thriving rural communities. This will require expanded investment, but also an approach that creates and perpetuates landscapes which effectively balance conservation and production functions.”

The ISFC will undertake activities during New York Climate Week and at COP28 in Dubai.

Mark McHugh, President, Rayonier said, “Sustainably managed working forests will play a vital role in supporting the transition to a circular bioeconomy. At Rayonier, we are committed to realizing the full potential of our forests in meeting the needs of society, and we are pleased to join the International Sustainable Forestry Coalition with a view towards achieving this vision.”

Although he has only been with Owens Corning since December 2022, Naren Srinivasan brings a wealth of expertise to the organization. Having worked previously in investment banking, Naren covered the building materials sector early in his career, and he has followed the trends that are shaping our industry today. Naren is committed to making sustainable practices part of his personal life, from recycling to composting. Even as a relatively new member of the Owens Corning team, Naren has a great deal to say about the importance of growing our business in responsible ways.

When I was growing up, the view was, be careful how you use your belongings — that’s something that I instill in my children.

On how our approach to acquisitions set us apart 

Sustainability has an important seat at the table with respect to both what makes a good acquisition target as well as our due diligence process. Not only do we ask how an acquisition can expand our customer, product, or technology offerings, we ask how the acquisition can promote our sustainability goals or how we can improve the target company’s sustainability profile. I do believe that more companies globally are moving down this path. In comparison to my experiences prior to Owens Corning, the focus on sustainability as part of the M&A decision making process was limited, so for me this is an exciting and important path.

On the connections between business growth and sustainability 

Within the construction sector, there are many different trends impacting building practices, whether it’s how people are thinking about urban living, the focus on infrastructure, or more recently, changing construction practices such as prefabrication related to labor issues. When I look at our growth ambitions and translate that to sustainable growth, it’s terrific to see how much they’re interlinked. As we think about new products, many are very much needed for the changing landscape in construction. At the same time, we look at how these products are in line with our sustainability goals. Several discussions on growth initiatives we have as a company and as teams are intertwined with sustainability.

On looking to Europe as an indicator for sustainability worldwide 

Over the past 15 or 20 years, Europe has been a bit ahead in setting standards for sustainability, and we see that there in terms of what customers and consumers are looking for. Wearing my strategy hat, I’ve looked to Europe as a precursor to what’s going to follow in North America. As a result, we’ve seen investment and innovation coming from companies for novel materials and products, more sustainable roofing and insulation systems, or carbon/emission capture and recycling of materials. I think there’s been great innovation in Europe, and we’re also seeing that in the U.S. to provide additional durability or energy efficiency, which is fantastic.

FARMINGTON, Conn., September 7, 2023 /3BL/ – In many communities around the globe, green and recreational spaces – critical for global public health and sustainability – remain inaccessible. In the fourth year of the Made to Move Communities competition, Otis (NYSE: OTIS) volunteers will mentor hundreds of students across 18 countries and territories to help break down physical, geographic, and socioeconomic barriers residents face today in finding suitable and sustainable green spaces.

In this era of urbanization, with more than 50% of the world’s population living in cities and that number expected to grow to nearly 70% by 2050, there’s urgency to preserve and provide green spaces for the benefit of all residents’ health and well-being. This is the focus of the latest Otis’ Made to Move Communities program, which brings together local students and Otis volunteer mentors to encourage creative thinking and problem-solving based on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) methodology and skills to create mobility solutions for some of society’s most urgent issues.

“Otis’ role in creating a taller and faster world comes with an opportunity to help ensure everyone in urban spaces can connect and thrive,” says Otis Vice President & Chief Communications Officer Randi Tanguay. “With the help and support of our colleagues, these bright young minds will design innovative solutions that improve access to green space which will enable local residents to reap the health and wellbeing benefits of these recreational spaces.”

During an eight-week challenge, students will identify ways to safely enable access for all to nearby green spaces. Teams will then present their STEM-based proposals to a panel of Otis judges who will award varying levels of grants to advance STEM programming at the schools of participating teams.

Since 2020, this annual global student competition has engaged hundreds of Otis colleagues as mentors to over 500 students developing and presenting mobility solutions to some of society’s most critical challenges. As part of this program, Otis has provided over $600,000 in total financial support to further STEM learning through grants awarded to each year’s participating schools. Through their passion, skills, and coaching, Otis mentors also help students nurture a love of STEM learning and inspire the pursuit of related careers.

Abbott

As a global company with a broad range of businesses, operations in over 160 countries and 115,000 people around the world, diversity is inherent to our business and organization.

The Billion Dollar Roundtable (BDR) is an organization dedicated to inspiring America’s leading companies to expand and grow their work with diverse businesses across the country. They set a high bar – to join the BDR, companies need to spend $1 billion or more with diverse suppliers, every year. It’s an important benchmark for demonstrating the positive impact that businesses can have in improving lives and advancing opportunity in diverse communities.

At the annual BDR Summit recently held in Chicago, Abbott was proud to be inducted into the exclusive group of Billion Dollar Roundtable members. We’ve made significant progress in expanding our work with diverse suppliers in recent years. We currently work with more than 1,300 diverse suppliers, including certified minority-, women-, disabled-, LGBTQ-, and veteran-owned businesses, spending $1.7 billion in 2022, an increase of 63% from the prior year.

Supplier diversity is an integral part of our broader work to build a resilient and sustainable supply chain, and our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. A wider pool of potential suppliers helps strengthen supply chain resilience and ensure business continuity, and also promotes competition in the supply chain, which can enhance products and services and decrease costs.

This work is having a significant economic impact as well. A recent analysis showed that our supplier diversity efforts have supported over 7,500 jobs and generated over $4.5 billion in economic impact in the communities where we operate across the U.S.

Delivering Even Greater Impact in the Years Ahead

Our inclusion in the Billion Dollar Roundtable is an important milestone. But we know it’s not just about purchasing more products and services from diverse companies.

Diverse owners of small companies face real barriers in growing their businesses. Half of diverse businesses can’t get a loan. And in healthcare, strict regulations and systemic budget challenges make it hard to compete with bigger, more established rivals.

That’s why we’re working with others to help address these gaps. One example: the Abbott-LISC Initiative to Support Diverse Businesses in Health is investing more than $37 million to provide diverse small businesses with the resources and support they need to compete, grow and create jobs in the healthcare industry. For more on these efforts, please see our story on the LISC collaboration.

Tell us a little bit about yourself and what you currently do at GoDaddy!

My name is Jenny Luong and I am a Software Development Engineer. I live in Sacramento, California with my family. Outside of work, I love to spend time being active outdoors.

Prior to starting full-time with GoDaddy, I was an intern! My internship was the culmination of my participation in Ada Developer’s Academy, which consisted of a six-month bootcamp to learn software development and five-month internship. Before participating in Ada Developer’s Academy, I worked in healthcare as an Occupational Therapist. I’ve been enjoying using my brain in new ways and the challenge of jumping into a new career. At GoDaddy, I work on the Search Engine Results Page (SERP) team. It’s been awesome to work on a visible page that runs lots of experiments!

What was your favorite part of your GoDaddy internship?

My team was welcoming and included me as a team member from day one. There was a big effort to get me access to the code base and working on our team repositories within the first few days. I appreciated being included in the team’s sprints and normal workflow, rather than being siloed into a tangential project.

What were you most excited for, about starting full-time for GoDaddy?

I really enjoy the work environment — my team is supportive, encouraging and collaborative. I’ve found that same positive environment in plenty of interactions beyond my immediate team, as well. I also know quite a few people who have their own businesses and use GoDaddy’s services, so it’s neat to work on a product that is used by people I know!

What advise would you share with future interns?

Originally published by Ericsson.

At Ericsson, we’re always asking, “what’s next?” because we understand innovation is essential to the success of our business. Of course, “innovation” has become quite the corporate buzzword over the past couple of years. It takes work, however, if businesses want their employees to start thinking outside of the box. Monetary incentives can encourage innovative behaviors, but innovation needs to be ingrained into corporate culture as well. Employees should be motivated by and excited for challenges, and leaders need to ensure everyone has the opportunity to be heard without judgment and receive the feedback necessary to succeed. With Ericsson ONE, we’ve proven that we walk the walk when it comes to prioritizing innovation and fostering an environment that allows innovators to excel.

Ericsson ONE: Proving the value of intrapreneurship

The world is not lacking entrepreneurs. In fact, more than 100 million startups are created each year—that’s one every three seconds. We also know that Ericsson employees are exceptional. They are passionate, talented, and already committed to our mission and values. With such a strong talent base, it makes sense that they are more than capable of discovering What’s Next. For this reason, we encourage all our employees, regardless of their role or tenure with Ericsson, to share their ideas with Ericsson ONE, our internal accelerator for employees pioneering new business ideas. With this model, we have created an environment that supports Ericsson employees sharing their ideas, pursuing their passions, and ultimately helping us expand our portfolio.

What happens when an employee shares a promising idea? After receiving initial pitches, the Ericsson ONE team will choose the ones with the most potential to move to the next stage. The intrapreneur and their team will begin a rapid, step-by-step process which involves rapidly creating, testing and validating their prototypes, building a minimum viable product, and if everything goes to plan, developing it into a fully-fledged, industrialized offering within Ericsson’s growth portfolio. By investing in intrapreneurs, we get to retain exceptional talent, and by investing in new businesses during their infancy, Ericsson gets to become part of the value creation and final business that results.

Additionally, we’re able to invest in businesses that align with our mission of making a positive impact on the world—in fact, we’re committed to only investing in businesses that meet at least one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. For example, Ericsson Safe Work, which aims to eliminate workplace injuries and deaths, is one project currently in development. Safe Work provides an entire safety ecosystem, leveraging technologies such as AI, Computer Vision, and IoT technologies to strengthen safety protocols. To make it easy for customers to adopt Safe Work, the team created an app that validates workers are wearing proper personal protective equipment and have the right certifications, monitors and continuously tracks vitals, and analyzes data to recognize patterns in behavior and improve root cause analysis when an incident occurs.

The Benefits of Innovating at Ericsson

Although we are eager to invest in intrapreneurs, not every innovator is suited for intrapreneurship. Startup culture encourages risk taking and scaling at an exponential rate. As part of a larger organization, however, intrapreneurs need to be more mindful of risk, and as a result, decisions will likely be made more slowly, with input from more voices. Ultimately 90-99 percent of new startups will fail, however, so the support given to our intrapreneurs can be a massive benefit if they’re comfortable with a more structured environment. So, how do we entice intrapreneurs to share their ideas with us?

We understand that innovating within Ericsson can offer benefits to the business at large, so we want to make it enticing to share and develop ideas with us. Of course, idea owners can receive a range of monetary incentives, but as Ericsson intrapreneurs, they are also offered a unique toolbox of resources to help make their startup a success. Intrapreneurs can leverage Ericsson’s existing customer base that spans 180 countries, a pool of talent that has deep technical knowledge, and the 60 thousand patents within our portfolio. These resources and relationships are invaluable and would take years for traditional startups to replicate. Perhaps one of the greatest advantages we give our people is the freedom to fail. Failure, understandably, is one of the greatest inhibitors of innovation. By developing a new business within Ericsson ONE, innovators have the freedom to fail and are almost always buffered from the potential losses faced by traditional entrepreneurs.

Finally, becoming an intrapreneur offers the opportunity for rapid career growth. Anyone whose idea is accelerated by Ericsson ONE has the potential to jump from anywhere within Ericsson and become part of the C-Suite of a new venture. And even if an idea fails along the way, the idea owner still would have built new leadership capabilities and experienced accelerated learning that couldn’t be replicated in a standard corporate setting. So, even in a failed case, there is massive opportunity for growth.

Ericsson ONE supported us in everything from funding to branding, essentially everything we needed to scale our project into a company, which can compete in the market and provide value on an industry scale.”

-Vivek Gnanavelu, Ericsson ONE Intrapreneur and AI Architect.

Preparing our people to have their “lightbulb moment” 

There’s not a perfect plan to draw ideas out of our people, and over time, we’ve noticed that the ideas that tend to be most successful, are ones that solve a problem faced by an innovator themselves. Take, for instance, Parth Radia, Head of Ericsson Digital Human (EDH). His motivation to connect with his grandmother, despite the 8,000+ miles between them, led him to create photorealistic holograms and simplified 3D calling. EDH is now the first business from Ericsson ONE to stand alone, and they are continuing to innovate. The EDH team is preparing to roll out an AI-enhanced video API that can translate human video calls both visually and auditorily in real time.

Rather than waiting for someone to encounter problems organically, Ericsson ONE tests other methods for getting someone to their “lightbulb moment” where a new idea is ignited. We’ve hosted in-person events, including ideation workshops and open houses at Ericsson campuses around the globe. Online, Ericsson ONE offers monthly challenges our people to brainstorm ideas for a specific question, such as “How can connectivity bring delightful new experiences to passengers at the airport or increase sustainability and efficiency at ports?” or “How can Ericsson make buildings, offices, and workspaces more enjoyable, valuable, and dynamic to those using them?” We aim to make the idea submission process easy and accessible, allowing anyone at Ericsson to submit their ideas online at any time.

If there’s one final message for potential intrapreneurs, it’s this—don’t be afraid to share or worry someone will dismiss an idea for being stupid. Engage early and be open to collaboration! Don’t wait until an idea is perfect because that time will most likely never come.

Earlier this year, Mary Kay unveiled its ambitious 2023 reforestation initiatives in collaboration with the Arbor Day Foundation. As Mary Kay commemorates its 60th anniversary, it also celebrates a decade and a half of deep-rooted commitment to community and environmental impact.

This year’s reforestation projects span across continents:

United States: In a bid to restore Georgia’s rare habitats and reverse the decline of longleaf pine, 80,000 trees will be planted across the state. Additionally, 12,000 trees will find their roots in the Lassen National Forest in California, aiding in the recovery from the devastating Dixie Fire of 2021.Mexico: At the heart of Mexico’s Cerro Pelon Butterfly Sanctuary, 4,000 trees will be planted to address climate change challenges and aid the endangered monarch butterfly.Spain: Belorado’s scenic hills in northern Spain will receive 4,000 trees, promoting resilience against wildfires and supporting the local community.

The alliance between Mary Kay and the Arbor Day Foundation has been both innovative and impactful. Back in 2008, a unique recycling initiative saw a tree planted for every old cosmetic compact recycled. This initiative surpassed its goal thanks to the dedication of Independent Beauty Consultants, customers, and Mary Kay employees. Subsequent years witnessed the creation of Nature Explore Classrooms, providing solace and connection to nature for residents in domestic violence shelters.

From 2013, Mary Kay’s reach expanded globally, supporting reforestation projects in regions ranging from the US to Madagascar. Fast forward to 2018, and the company celebrated planting its one-millionth tree during the inauguration of the new Richard R. Rogers Manufacturing/R&D facility in Texas.

Today, with a proud tally of 1.3 million trees planted, the commitment is far from over. Mary Kay aims to add another 100,000 trees this year alone, further cementing its pledge to the planet and its communities.

“Baaa-a-a-a-a-a! Baaa-a-a-a-a-a!”

The familiar sound of bleating goats roaming in northern British Columbia is nothing new. But these goats, donning yellow Enbridge bandanas on their necks, are anything but ordinary.

These 30 stylish herbivores are not trespassers on this parcel of land, located along Pine Pass, north of the community of MacLeod Lake, about 240 km north of Prince George. In fact, this herd is actually esteemed guests of Enbridge, encouraged to do what they do best—eat!

Enbridge, in partnership with Spectrum Resource Group, is proud to employ these goats for the first time on our natural gas pipeline system in BC, to ensure our rights-of-way are cleared of invasive plant species. Aptly called the Goat Grazing Project, these amazing creatures will munch away aggressive grasses and shrubs considered invasive plants.

Clearing invasive plants is a critical component of Enbridge’s commitment to integrated vegetation management along the pipeline right of way. This land needs to have an herb-dominated ecosystem, meaning having only smaller plants like grasses and legumes grow in the area. shrubs and trees on the right of way reduce Enbridge’s ability to access sites for maintenance on our pipeline infrastructure.

So why goats? Well, these incredible creatures have proven to be one of nature’s best grazers, with an appetite for invasive species that rivals traditional methods of vegetation management, such as using chemical application and mechanical means like cutting.

“When these goats are penned in an area, they will overgraze these shrubs. When they are confined in a space, they will eat everything on a plant, and that disturbance is far more damaging,” explains Dan Tisseur, Senior Environment Advisor for Operations and Maintenance with Enbridge’s Canadian natural gas pipeline business.

“The best-case scenario is the goats eat everything. They eat the leaves, they eat the little branches, and they graze it right down to the ground.”

The Goat Grazing Project is part of Enbridge’s Integrated Vegetation Management Program, incorporating both traditional and biological methods through the use of herbivores. So while these goats happily fill their tummies, we’re also doing our part to control invasive plants in an environmentally friendly way.

While the concept of goats on the job might raise a smile, Enbridge takes the Goat Grazing Project very seriously. To help gain deeper insights into managing invasive species effectively, we’re conducting research in the locations where the goats are grazing. Picture this as a collaborative effort between Enbridge’s expert team and our ravenous four-legged partners. While the goats feed their way down a pipeline corridor, Enbridge researchers and environmental specialists are diligently observing and recording the progress and efficacy of this approach.

“This is going to be a multi-year project to assess the efficacy over time. So we’re actually going to bring these goats back to the same location to repeat these treatments to see if over time we’re witnessing a reduction in the shrub biomass and invasive plants on site,” Tisseur says.

The next time you see a goat gracefully grazing along Enbridge’s pipeline right of way, know that it represents more than just a charming sight.

It’s a symbol of our dedication to sustainable practices and a reminder that sometimes, the most effective solutions come from working hand-in-hoof with Mother Nature.
