by Terri Mickelsen, CEO of the Clean Energy Credit Union

What originally attracted me to the credit union movement was the chance to build something different. At Clean Energy Credit Union, a Certified B Corporation, we believe financial institutions should help people build stability rather than profit from financial hardship. As a B Corp, we are committed to balancing financial performance with accountability to our members, employees, communities, and the environment.

That philosophy is reflected not only in what we finance but in how we operate. We have successfully built our business without relying on NSF and overdraft fees that often fall hardest on people who can least afford them. Instead of generating revenue from financial mistakes, we focus on helping members build healthy financial habits and long-term financial stability. We apply that same people-first approach internally by providing fully employer-paid health, dental, and vision coverage. We believe treating both members and employees with dignity creates stronger relationships, better service, and a more sustainable institution.

That same mission-driven approach extends to the products we offer and the impact we seek to create through clean energy finance. Clean Energy CU offers specialized financing for solar installations, geothermal systems, EVs, and green home upgrades. Unlike traditional banks, our lending products are specifically designed around the economics of clean energy adoption. We understand incentives, energy savings, contractor relationships, and the long-term financial benefits these projects create. Our goal is to make clean energy affordable, accessible, and financially beneficial for more families.

Entergy is partnering with the Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries and FulcrumAir to deploy bird flight diverters on transmission lines across Louisiana, marking a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to protecting the endangered whooping cranes while improving reliability for our customers.

A remarkable recovery, protection efforts ongoing

Today, there are over 800 whooping cranes in existence, with breeding pairs of birds living year-round in our service territory. However, these unique creatures native to the marshes of southern Louisiana were almost wiped out entirely many decades ago.

“Whooping cranes are an endangered species that came very close to going extinct in the early 1940s,” said Sara Zimorski, wildlife biologist for the LDWF. “There were only 21 whooping cranes left at that time. Now, they have made a remarkable recovery thanks to measures taken to preserve the species.”

One example of these preservation measures is the installation of bird flight diverters on transmission lines that intersect the natural habitat of the whooping crane. Entergy operates more than 1,000 miles of transmission lines and nearly 3,500 miles of distribution lines in Louisiana parishes where the LDWF identified breeding pairs of whooping cranes live year-round, including Jefferson Davis Parish.

“The LDWF reached out to us regarding a breeding pair of whooping cranes in the area,” said Sydney Johnson, avian and biodiversity lead at Entergy.  “This family of cranes lives in a crawfish and rice field right by our transmission lines, and we wanted to make sure that we do what we can to protect these endangered birds.”

Improving reliability for our customers through safer technology

Reducing instances of avian strikes with our infrastructure helps improve long-term reliability for our customers by mitigating conductor damage and fault events. To achieve this, Entergy is deploying bird flight diverters — high contrast devices that are suspended on our power lines and visible from all angles and in low-light conditions using the FulcrumAir LineFly.

“FulcrumAir is installing bird flight diverters using the drone-deployed LineFly robotic tool,” said Jason Jones, vice president of sales for FulcrumAir. “To place bird flight diverters on a transmission line, historically you would have a crew installing it by hand using a helicopter. We’re able to take that human safety risk out of play, and we take environmental disturbance out of play as well. We’re also able to install the diverters while the transmission lines are energized.”

“By installing the bird flight diverters, the whooping cranes are able to better see those lines when they are both landing and in-flight in bad conditions giving them the opportunity to avoid those lines,” said Jones.

The importance of leadership through partnerships 

Entergy’s mitigation approach aligns with federal requirements under the Endangered Species Act and Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Working with the LDWF demonstrates how regulatory agencies and utilities can achieve common goals: protecting the species while reliably serving customers.

“Partnering with the LDWF really highlights the opportunity to work together with regulatory agencies to achieve a common goal of protecting the species and the animals in our service territory, while also reliably providing power to our customers and our communities,” said Austin Langley, environmental operations manager at Entergy.

These partnerships continue to exhibit why Entergy is a leader in our industry.

“Entergy has really taken a lead position in wildlife mitigation, both in distribution and transmission. They are very proactive in protecting the wildlife. The things we’re doing here today are the next steps for Entergy to continue to help protect the whooping cranes and other bird populations here in Louisiana,” said Jones.

With this pilot complete, Entergy plans to deploy similar mitigation across other parts of our service territory.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 15, 2026 /3BL/ – SCS Global Services, a global leader in third-party environmental and sustainability certification, today announced that it has verified over 400 million tonnes of CO2 emissions reductions and removals, a milestone reached since it began assessing carbon offset projects in 2008. The achievement spans more than 1,350 completed audits across 50-plus countries and covers more than 50 distinct carbon offset methodologies.

The scale of this achievement is significant. The verified reductions are roughly equivalent to removing 93.3 million cars from the road for a year, or to the emissions avoided by powering 83 million U.S. homes with electricity for a year. In the United States alone, SCS has completed carbon offset and sustainability audits in 47 of 50 states.

“This industry runs on integrity, and 400 million tonnes of verified emissions reductions is an incredible contribution to the fight against climate change. Every one of those tonnes went through an independent, high-integrity verification process, and that consistency is what gives this market the credibility it needs to scale and grow,” said Christie Pollet-Young, Vice President, Climate at SCS Global Services.

As carbon markets continue to mature and face growing scrutiny over data quality and methodological rigor, independent verification plays a central role in giving buyers, regulators, and the public confidence in the integrity of each credit. Reaching this milestone underscores SCS Global Services’ role as one of the longest-standing and most active verifiers in the market. SCS Global Services’ carbon offset verification work applies internationally recognized standards and methodologies to confirm that emissions reductions are real, measurable, and permanent.

A Portfolio Spanning Sectors and Continents

The path to 400 million tonnes runs through a wide range of emissions sources and geographies. SCS Global Services built its early carbon offset expertise in forestry, drawing on its long-standing reputation as an auditor for the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), and went on to verify the world’s first Improved Forest Management projects under the California Climate Action Registry, the predecessor to today’s Cap-and-Invest Program. That early work laid the foundation for SCS Global Services to extended its verification expertise across dozens of project types and international registries, often serving on working groups that help develop standards for emerging markets and technologies. Notable projects verified by SCS Global Services include:

• Yurok Tribe Sustainable Forest Project. For the Yurok Tribe in Northern California, SCS Global Services verified not only the first Improved Forest Management (IFM) project, but also the first project led by a tribal entity under California’s Cap-and-Invest Program, supporting sustainable tribal forestry practices that increase carbon storage while protecting culturally and ecologically significant forestlands.
• HFC refrigerant reclamation in Illinois. For Hudson Technologies, SCS Global Services verified a project that reclaims refrigerants for reuse in existing air conditioning and refrigeration systems throughout the United States, avoiding the production and eventual release of virgin HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons), a class of greenhouse gases with extremely high near-term warming potential.
• Regenerative agriculture across South Africa. For Orizon Agriculture, SCS Global Services verified emissions reductions and carbon removals from a grouped project spanning 22 farms and more than 15,500 hectares, where improved land management practices such as reduced tillage, cover cropping, and better grazing management are increasing soil organic carbon.
• Reforesting the Brazilian Amazon Project. For Mombak, SCS Global Services verified the first Afforestation, Reforestation, and Revegetation (ARR) project in the Brazilian Amazon using all-native species. It was also the first project to issue ARR credits under the Isometric registry. The project restored previously degraded pastureland, generating long-term carbon removals while supporting biodiversity recovery and ecosystem resilience.
• Ozone-depleting substance destruction in Thailand. For Tradewater, SCS Global Services verified the destruction of legacy CFC (chlorofluorocarbon) refrigerants at a facility in Samutprakarn, Thailand, preventing gases with severe ozone and climate impacts from ever being released.
• Carbon mineralization in concrete production. For CarbonCure Technologies, SCS Global Services has verified projects across the United States, Canada, and Singapore under Verra’s VM0043 methodology, which permanently mineralizes captured CO2 in concrete while reducing the amount of carbon-intensive cement required.
• Atiala Atsinanana REDD project in Madagascar. For the Atiala-Atsinanana Emission Reductions Program in Madagascar, SCS Global Services verified emissions reductions from a jurisdictional REDD+ program spanning nearly 7 million hectares of eastern tropical forest, where efforts to reduce deforestation, strengthen community forest management, and protect biodiversity are generating large-scale climate benefits.

“These examples reflect not only the history of offsets but also where the market is headed, more diversification, more innovation, and a growing recognition that there’s no single path to real climate impact. Wherever this market goes next, our commitment stays the same, that offsets remain a meaningful part of how the world addresses climate change, and that they’re built on high integrity,” said Pollet-Young.

AMD has been named one of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens of 2026, ranking 25^th among the largest U.S. public companies.

AMD rose 14 positions from No. 39 in 2025, reflecting continued progress in corporate responsibility transparency and performance. AMD also ranked seventh among information technology companies.

“We are proud to be recognized again among the 100 Best Corporate Citizens,” said Justin Murrill, chief sustainability officer at AMD. “Corporate responsibility is not the work of one team or one company. This progress reflects the work of people across AMD to set clear goals, measure progress and build responsible practices into how we operate. It also underscores the importance of collaborating with customers, partners and industry groups to address shared challenges and drive progress across our industry.”

The 100 Best Corporate Citizens is the longest-running sustainability ranking of Russell 1000 companies. Developed by 3BL in partnership with Institutional Shareholder Services, the ranking evaluates publicly available information on corporate transparency and performance. The 2026 methodology assesses companies across seven pillars covering climate change, employees, environment, stakeholders and society, human rights, governance and performance adjusters.

3BL’s financial impact study found that companies recognized among the 100 Best Corporate Citizens outperformed their peers financially, demonstrating a connection between corporate responsibility leadership, transparency and long-term business performance.

The recognition follows the publication of the AMD 2025-26 Corporate Responsibility Report, which details progress across environmental sustainability, digital impact, workforce, community impact, governance and supply chain responsibility.

NORTHAMPTON, Mass., September 15, 2026 /3BL/ – 3BL today announced the annual 100 Best Corporate Citizens ranking, which evaluates the 1,000 largest publicly traded U.S. companies according to their non-financial disclosures and how they impact communities, workers and the environment worldwide.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company earned the No. 1 spot this year, followed by Owens Corning, Trane Technologies, HP Inc., and Graphic Packaging Holding Company.

The 100 Best Corporate Citizens is based on a continuously evolving methodology developed in partnership with ISS STOXX and with extensive stakeholder feedback. Only the best of the best in community, environment and governance leadership receive this competitive recognition, with less than 20% of all Russell 1000 companies ranking among the 100 Best Corporate Citizens since 2020.

The ranking evaluates Russell 1000 companies on 221 factors across seven pillars, including climate change, employees, environment, governance, human rights, and stakeholders and society.

• Innovation that protects against these pests is driving stronger Elanco base business and overall share gains.
• Elanco confirms U.S. Pet Health is on track to expectations of high-single digit to low double-digit growth in the second half of 2026.
• U.S. Pet Health price gains have accelerated quarter-to-date vs. Q2.

INDIANAPOLIS, September 15, 2026 /3BL/ – As the calendar turns to fall, Americans expect a seasonal reprieve from ticks and allergies. However, with warming temperatures and expanded pollen seasons we see the parasiticide and dermatology categories shifting toward year-round needs in these billion-dollar plus pet health markets.

Elanco Animal Health Incorporated (NYSE: ELAN), with its innovative pet health portfolio, is meeting robust pet owner demand for health and wellness care, including the evolution toward year-round “tick and itch season” and shifting consumer spend in a growing omnichannel ecosystem. Elanco’s global execution to deliver differentiated, high-impact innovation is driving acceleration in year-over-year price gains quarter-to-date (July and August) for the company, led by the U.S. Pet Health business.

“Elanco’s continued momentum, building on our strongest first half since our IPO, reflects the strength of our new innovation to increase the standard of care against these growing pet health threats. It underscores the durability of the market and our commitment to our customers to deliver on their higher expectations for care,” said Jeff Simmons, President and CEO at Elanco. “We are creating sustainable value for pet owners and the industry through our truly differentiated portfolio of innovation, driving market share and accelerating price gains in what we see as a responsible competitive backdrop.”

Evolution Toward Year-Round “Tick and Itch Season”

Changing weather patterns have created a perfect storm. Without prolonged cold required to kill parasites, they’re thriving year-round – moving into new areas and driving a sharp increase in tick-borne diseases. In summer 2026, tick-related ER visits in the U.S. reached their highest level since the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) began tracking the data in 2017. While these tick-related ER visits tend to decline through the summer as Americans increase their guard against the pests, the CDC shows visits spike again in the fall¹. Ticks remain active as long as temperatures are above freezing. Meanwhile, the growing season and pollen impacts have increased in 87% of U.S. cities since 1970, with the season expanding by a month in hardest hit regions². Further, pollen concentration has increased more than 20% since 1990³.

The One Health Crisis: Ticks in the Living Room 

The record-breaking ER visit data for tick bites this year reflects a trendline, not an anomaly. With milder winters and warmer springs, tick populations are not only starting earlier and lasting longer, but they are moving into regions that historically saw minimal activity. And, as pets increasingly sit at the center of the family and the home, they have become the critical “connective tissue” in a One Health exposure pathway between the environment and human health.

“One bite is all it takes, and the distance between environmental exposure and human contact is shortening,” said Bobby Modi, Executive Vice President, U.S. Pet Health at Elanco. ”A pet that picks up a tick outdoors carries that risk directly into the home, often to the most vulnerable members of the family—children and older adults. Speed of kill isn’t just a clinical metric; it’s a household safety requirement. It’s exciting to see Elanco’s innovation deliver peace of mind for families, and the resulting business momentum and share growth.”

Elanco’s Omnichannel Leadership in the $18 Billion Global Pet Health Market

As the parasite and dermatology seasons expand, Elanco is capturing growth by meeting pet owners across the omnichannel landscape. The company’s U.S. and International Pet Health businesses both reported significant momentum in the first half of 2026, with organic constant currency⁴ revenue up 9% year over year each (or 9% and 15% reported growth, respectively), driven by the broadest parasiticide portfolio and fastest expanding dermatology portfolio in the industry.

Key Commercial Milestones and Developments: 

• New Innovation Driving Stronger Base and Overall Elanco Market Share Gains: In Q2, Elanco U.S. Pet Health continued to achieve share gains across all four major categories – dermatology, parasiticides, osteoarthritis pain, and vaccines. In the first half of 2026, Elanco increased its overall U.S. market share driven by robust share gains from its new blockbusters and the stabilized based business.
• Market Seasonality: As of 2025, the U.S. OTC parasiticide market has become largely balanced with about 52% of sales in the first half of the year and 48% in the second half. Meanwhile, Credelio Quattro clinic adoption has continued into the second half of 2026, adding approximately 1,100 clinics in the quarter-to-date (July and August).
• Compliance Improving with Increased Pest Pressure: As parasite seasons lengthen, compliance is also growing through home delivery and auto-ship programs, ensuring that protection doesn’t take a season off. Our data indicates vet home delivery sales grew nearly twice as fast as in-clinic sales in Q2 with compliance historically also increasing by about 50% when pet owners shift to delivery.
• U.S. Pet Health Second-Half Acceleration: Innovation that protects pets against these pests is valued and rewarded, with Elanco’s U.S. Pet Health business accelerating in Q2, and with previously communicated expectations for continued robust gains in the second half of the year. Further, price has accelerated quarter-to-date (July and August), as expected.
• International Market Acceleration: The overall international dermatology market grew 9% in the first half of 2026, with Zenrelia leading the way. Zenrelia growth accelerated in Europe, the market with three Jak-1 products for the longest period. Notably, Zenrelia gained 10 share points in Europe in the first half of 2026, 5x the competitive entrant, driven by high customer satisfaction with the product.
• Stronger Legacy Portfolio: New innovation has also stabilized and strengthened the Elanco base portfolio with this business improving from mid-single to high-single digit declines in 2023-2024 to plus or minus low-single digit levels today and expected forward.

“Elanco’s momentum is resilient, driven by our innovation, stabilized base business and the strong execution from the Elanco team,” Simmons said. “As ‘tick and itch season’ expands, innovation with true medical differentiation like broader coverage and superior speed of tick kill is solving real problems that make a difference for customers, fueling share gains and accelerating price. We are delivering on our commitment to customers and our shareholders and driving sustainable long-term value creation.”

September 15, 2026 /3BL/ – Ragan Communications has announced digital media entrepreneur and What’s Trending founder Shira Lazar as a keynote speaker for its 2026 Future of Communications Conference, taking place Nov. 11-13 at the Hyatt Regency Austin during Communications Week.

Lazar will take the stage for “Think Like a Creator: Thriving at the Intersection of AI, Trust and the Future of Communications,” a keynote examining how artificial intelligence, creator culture and changing expectations around authenticity are reshaping the way organizations communicate.

As executives increasingly become creators, employees become publishers and brands compete for attention across a rapidly changing media ecosystem, communications professionals need more than new technology. They need to understand how curiosity, experimentation, authenticity and trust can help organizations stand out.

Lazar will explore why corporate communications is increasingly becoming a creator space, how AI is changing the future of work and media, and what communicators can do now to remain relevant as those changes accelerate.

Her keynote is part of a three-day program bringing hundreds of communications professionals to Austin to examine what is next for internal and external communications, public relations, reputation, employee communications and communications leadership.

The Future of Communications Conference will feature more than 50 senior communications leaders, executives and experts across 30+ keynotes, workshops, case studies, fireside chats and peer discussions.

Speakers and organizations represented on the program include communications leaders from Lockheed Martin, United Airlines, Dell Technologies, Notion, State Farm, IBM, Colgate-Palmolive, Hachette Book Group, Mozilla, Coca-Cola Bottlers’ Sales & Services, Dow Jones, Anker, Code for America, Cotality and more.

The agenda is built around the issues communications professionals are confronting now and the trends likely to define their work in 2027.

Sessions will explore artificial intelligence and AI governance, agentic AI workflows, executive communications, employee engagement, corporate reputation, crisis preparedness, misinformation, organizational change, communications measurement and ROI, emerging media channels and the growing influence of AI-powered search.

Attendees will also examine how Generative Engine Optimization and Answer Engine Optimization are changing brand discoverability, what happens when AI becomes an audience for corporate information, how communicators can prepare for deepfakes and synthetic media, and how organizations can preserve a recognizable human voice as AI-generated content becomes commonplace.

A dedicated Center for AI Strategy Summit on Nov. 11 will give attendees an additional opportunity to examine AI adoption, practical workflows, governance, legal and brand risks and the emerging opportunities communications teams should be preparing for in 2027.

Beyond the stage, the Future of Communications Conference is designed to give attendees meaningful opportunities to connect with hundreds of fellow communicators through structured networking, interactive roundtable discussions, receptions and peer conversations.

The conference serves as the flagship educational gathering of Communications Week 2026, held Nov. 9-13. Communications Week brings together professionals and organizations to celebrate the profession, exchange ideas and examine the forces shaping its future.

The next registration pricing deadline is Oct. 9.

3BL Media readers can use code 3BL to save an additional $500 on registration.
