The theme for Earth Day 2023 is Invest In Our Planet with a call to action to solve the climate crisis, create a prosperous and sustainable future, and restore nature to build a healthy planet for future generations. The call to action includes coming together in partnership with governments, businesses, and civil society to take responsibility and be accountable to accelerate the change towards a green, prosperous, and equitable future.

Keysight is helping to build a better planet by accelerating innovation to connect and secure the world and employing a global business framework of ethical, environmentally sustainable, and socially responsible operations. Three core principles underscore this commitment:

One of our top priorities is mitigating the impacts of climate change and leaving a healthier planet for future generations.Social responsibility is a key value of the Keysight Leadership Model and is at the core of our DNA.Keysight has long supported environmental sustainability.

These principles align with Earth Day 2023 in building a healthy economy for all.

At Keysight, we care for our people, our planet, and the communities where we operate. At the heart of this is a sincere belief in conducting business in an ethical, legally compliant, environmentally sustainable, and socially responsible manner. Together we can make a difference.

Net zero emissions for a sustainable future

Keysight’s net zero emissions goal demonstrates our commitment to limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius per the Paris Agreement framework. This pursuit is in line with our company’s values:

Keysight will help mitigate environmental, societal, and economic impacts of climate change.Keysight is an industry leader, and we continuously deliver value to our stakeholders.A goal of net zero emissions in company operations provides certainty about the company’s strategic direction in environmentally sustainable operations.

Keysight will achieve net zero emissions in company operations by the end of fiscal year 2040. The best way to accomplish this goal is through energy efficiency and conservation and transitioning to renewable energy sources.

Using science-based targets (SBTs) is the best way to measure progress in greenhouse gas emissions reduction and to ensure targets are consistent with the latest climate change scenarios. Because of this, Keysight is committed to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and has submitted proposed targets in all three scopes of emissions for validation.

As I reflect on Earth Day 2023, I am inspired by Keysight’s commitment to build business resiliency in the face of climate change. I also know that more work is needed through a global cooperative effort to act on climate change now to lower climate risks by 2050. The question we all need to ask ourselves is what intentional daily action will you take to Invest in our Planet? To see real change and protect our planet, we must invest in it.

STAMFORD, Conn., April 21, 2023 /3BL Media/ – United Rentals, Inc. (NYSE: URI), the world’s largest equipment rental company, introduced JuiceBox mobile power generators to its equipment rental fleet. The generators can be powered by safe and clean propane or natural gas, providing a low-emissions alternative to diesel machines to charge electric vehicles, tools, and other equipment, advancing worksite electrification strategies.

United Rentals acquired the generators from Evergreen Mobile Power. They feature a much lower operating cost than diesel generators, up to 40 percent. The generators use propane, which produces 17 percent lower greenhouse gas emissions than diesel machines. With a compact footprint of 50” length x 50” width x 54” height, the generators deliver instant power up to 20 kilowatts (kW). They can be linked together to address higher power demands.

The generators are equipped with dual interchangeable and removable electrical panels, making it fast and easy to customize the generators to various power needs. In addition to the environmental benefits, the generators run much quieter than traditional generators.

Among the applications for JuiceBox generators are construction worksites; emergency response; entertainment venues including concerts, festivals and sports events; telecommunications and many other markets looking to explore cleaner fuel power.

The generators join low- and zero-emissions rental equipment options including aerial lifts, trucks, vans, compact excavators, e-dumpsters, battery systems and more already in the United Rentals portfolio of environmentally friendly rental equipment.

“Diesel engine emission regulations are driving companies to look for new options they can deploy,” said Dan Gribbell, PHVAC Region Sales and Marketing Director, United Rentals. “Adding JuiceBox generators to our fleet provides another way we are helping our customers create lower-emission worksites without compromising safety or productivity. With low operations costs and greenhouse gas emissions, the JuiceBox provides a smarter choice for the environment and a customer’s wallet.”

More information about the company’s environmental management strategy can be found on the Sustainability at United Rentals webpage.

The companies who make the built world with lightweight structural materials are struggling to find sustainable replacements. This video from the Biomimicry Institute shows how, as a solution, 2022 Ray of Hope Prize® Participant Strong By Form has created design-to-manufacturing technology that aims to bring the natural intelligence of tree structures to engineered wood. These innovators combine digital design, structural optimization and digital fabrication to produce structural wood-based composite parts. This process enables freeform lightweight parts capable of replacing materials with higher CO2 footprints such as concrete or steel on diverse applications.

For example, their solution–what they call a Woodflow-composite slab–aims to save up to 30% of concrete and 70% of wood compared to conventional timber-concrete composite slabs. Likewise, they are working on bringing optimized rigid nodes connectors in Woodflow so that the use of metals on frame joints can be avoided. This would result in structurally more integrated joints that could be lighter, 100% wood-based and with lower CO2 footprint.

At Expedia Group, we believe travel is a force for good. At the same time, we also recognize the environmental toll that today’s travel industry often has on the planet. Climate action is essential to preserving the many destinations our travelers are looking to experience. Sustainability is more than an accelerating trend for travel — it’s fundamental for the future of our industry.

Responsible travel is a key business imperative for Expedia Group. Among other motivations, our travelers are clearly demanding more sustainable options. In fact, terms related to sustainability and eco-friendliness were mentioned in traveler feedback twice as often last year as in previous years 1.

To meet our travelers’ demand and as part of our long-term sustainability efforts, last April, Expedia Group signed the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Travel and Tourism as one signal of our commitment. And in September, we launched our Open World™ social impact and sustainability strategy with the specific mission of advancing a travel ecosystem that is open, accessible, and responsible for all.

We are excited to share an update on our progress over the last year and outline our vision for what’s ahead.

BUILDING A PROSPEROUS PLANET

Our Open World framework places environmental sustainability alongside two other pillars of social impact — inclusive access and economic mobility — with all three driving toward a responsible future for tourism and for the people, places, and communities that make up global travel.

The Prosperous Planet pillar of our strategy is grounded in two commitments:

Aligning with a Net Zero Future – We will decarbonize our operations and take action to mitigate and adapt to the impacts of climate change on our business.Powering Sustainable Journeys – We will innovate sustainable solutions for the future of travel, empowering travelers to act more sustainably and supporting partners in offering more sustainable travel options.

Expedia Group is committed to mobilizing its vast network of travelers, partners, and peers to empower more responsible choices.

SETTING A VISION

Over the past year, we’ve collected data and had critical conversations with many stakeholders as we create our first Climate Action Plan, set to be released later this year. Outlining our overall climate vision and strategy, the Climate Action Plan articulates six core elements that will guide our action over the coming years:

Reduce: Set and deliver science-aligned targets and decarbonization strategies for our operations.Prepare: Evaluate and integrate climate risk and opportunity to our business, including the outcomes of a scenario analysis, which describes how the physical and transition risks of climate change might impact our business.Adapt: Support community disaster response and climate adaptation to build resilience in the places where we work, and the destinations where we travel.Align: Advance industry standards to support clear, authentic, and consistent information on the sustainability of travel products.Recognize: Promote more sustainable travel options across our platforms and incentivize travelers to choose them.Accelerate: Support suppliers in providing more sustainable offerings, with a focus on the intersection of climate and equity.

GREENER OPTIONS FOR A GREENER TRAVEL INDUSTRY

Collaboration is critical to our progress as an industry, and we must work together to innovate and accelerate meaningful change. Expedia Group is committed to empowering both travelers and partners to make more responsible and sustainable travel choices by providing needed insights, tools, and resources.

DESTINATION COMMUNITIES

Travel is inherently place-based. That’s why our Open World strategy puts destination communities alongside travelers at its center – outstanding travel experiences require vibrant and resilient destinations. We are therefore proud to be partnering with the Travel Foundation to launch a first-of-its-kind capacity-building program for destination marketing and management organizations (DMOs), enabling them to lead the way on climate action in tourism and catalyze meaningful change at a local level. DMOs bridge the gap between the global and the local within the travel industry, and Expedia Group sees them as a key node for accelerating sustainable travel.

The program will offer practical training to DMO staff, creating “climate champions” that can apply a sustainability lens to strategic planning and decision-making. It will also support DMOs in creating their own climate action plans and offer peer-to-peer learning opportunities for destinations to share knowledge and insights with one another.

The program’s pilot cohort will launch over the summer. We’re excited to name Destination Vancouver as the first DMO to sign on as a participant and look forward to scaling this work in the years to come.

TRAVELERS

With operations in 70+ countries and across 200+ travel sites, we interact with millions of travelers. We want to provide credible and clear information, including on sustainability, whether they be carbon estimates or indications of other eco-friendly attributes and practices of travel providers.

Trends in travel evolve, and we know that travelers are seeking experiences that are more than just about relaxation or exploration. We increasingly hear that travelers expect options in line with their values, with more information about the environmental and community impacts of their choices.

A report by our Expedia Group Media Solutions team highlighted that 90% of consumers look for sustainable options when traveling, though 70% feel overwhelmed navigating available options and on starting the process of becoming a more sustainable traveler 2.

Expedia Group is working to build trusted sustainability information for travelers into our products that align with industry best practices, including methodologies developed collaboratively between our peers within the Travalyst Coalition.

Product features being tested include displaying estimates of flight emissions, the sustainability practices of hotels, and electric and hybrid vehicle filters for car rentals. Some of these features have never before been available on our sites, and we are excited to continue innovating, evolving, and enhancing the sustainability information we provide to travelers.

LOOKING AHEAD

Expedia Group is charting a course for a more sustainable travel industry. Our Open World social impact and sustainability strategy outlines our commitment, and our forthcoming Climate Action Plan will deepen our vision and roadmap for success. We will continue to collaborate with our peers, partners, travelers, and destinations across the industry to ensure responsible travel on a truly prosperous planet for generations to come.

More than 50 years ago, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) did not exist, which meant there was no Clean Air Act, no Clean Water Act, and no legal regulatory mechanism to protect our environment. That all changed in April 1970 when Senator Gaylord Nelson created Earth Day as a way to force this issue onto the national agenda. Twenty million Americans demonstrated in different U.S. cities — and it worked. In December 1970, Congress authorized the creation of the EPA, a new federal agency to tackle environmental issues. Now, each year on April 22, people all around the world come together on Earth Day to celebrate the planet’s environment and raise public awareness about pollution.

In honor of #EarthDay, America’s Charities is celebrating the following agents of change who we are proud to call our members:

The Conservation Fund: The Conservation Fund practices conservation to achieve environmental and economic outcomes. Every Fund program places conservation at its center, and our entrepreneurial staff create and implement innovative, practical ways to benefit the natural world and the well-being of Americans from every walk of life. Since 1985, The Conservation Fund has protected over 8 million acres of America’s most important, at-risk lands and waters. Click here to learn more about the Fund’s impact on the following focus areas: Land, Water, Wildlife, Finance, Food, Community Development, Cities, Partnerships, Climate, and Restoration.Feeding America: Many people think of ending hunger when they think of Feeding America – and they would be right. However, Feeding America is also an important ally in the work to end food waste. Each year, 108 billion pounds of food is wasted in the United States. That equates to 130 billion meals and more than $408 billion in food thrown away each year, while 38 million Americans struggle with hunger. Feeding America and its partner network rescues food every day — rescuing 4.7 billion pounds of groceries last year. Learn how you can fight food waste in your own kitchen and learn about one Feeding America’s newest innovations, MealConnect, which makes safe and quick food donations possible by matching food businesses directly to the Feeding America network. Local grocery stores, restaurants, hotels and more can use MealConnect to alert nearby food banks, food pantries or meal programs when they have food ready for immediate pick up, making more good food available and revolutionizing local food rescue.Rails-to-Trails Conservancy: The mission of Rails-to-Trails Conservancy (RTC) is to create a nationwide network of trails from former rail lines and connecting corridors to build healthier places for healthier people. For 30 years, RTC has been the leader in the national rail-trail movement and is the voice of more than 160,000 members and supporters. RTC has helped develop more than 1,600 pathways, transforming more than 30,000 miles of former rail corridors into beautiful paths for walking, biking, riding, and other outdoor activities. RTC partners with thousands of community organizations, trail groups, and local governments to create a nationwide network of trails – one community at a time. They support a healthier environment by making active transportation a viable transportation alternative. They contribute to healthier, more vibrant communities, connecting people of all ages and abilities to the places where they live, work and play. Each year on the fourth Saturday of April, you can Celebrate Trails Day (formerly Opening Day for Trails), an annual spring celebration of America’s trails. Started by Rails-to-Trails Conservancy in 2013, the celebration encourages people all across the country to get outside and enjoy the nation’s exceptional trails and trail systems. Learn more.

Joy Lyons, head of North America Operations for Elavon, the merchant processing business within U.S. Bank Payment Services, dedicates a meaningful amount of her time to volunteering with organizations that help women. She recently was recognized for her service with a Pay it Forward Star Award from the Electronic Transaction Association.

Lyons, who is based in Knoxville, Tennessee, said she follows three guidelines to help her incorporate community service – including work with domestic violence shelters, contributions to organizations benefiting children and supporting young women transition from student to successful businesswomen— into her life.

Follow your interests 
As a woman in the financial services industry, Lyons said it’s important to mentor other women in the sector.

“With any activity, we are more likely to have a positive outcome when our skills and interests are aligned with a need,” she said. “While I am incredibly passionate about the work I do at U.S. Bank, I am equally dedicated to giving back to other women in the industry and in my local community. I know how important it is to share our knowledge and experience with one another.”

That dedication motivates her to serve as an active member of the Women in Payments board and support its mission to connect, inspire and champion women in the payments industry. She serves as an executive advisor for the Elavon Women in Payments Atlanta chapter business resource group.

Lyons puts her talent for motivating groups of people to work by engaging with more than 750 students and active alumnae in community service projects through her role as the alumni liaison coordinator and mother’s club president for Alpha Delta Pi – University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

Engage your network 
Lyons said she learned years ago while running a coat drive to help a nonprofit organization that when it comes to volunteer work, there’s great value in bringing people together.

“As an individual donor, I could give a few coats at most,” she said.

But by partnering with her daughter and mobilizing local schools, dance studios and her coworkers, Lyons and her network have been able to donate more than 7,000 coats and blankets over a 10-year span.

Lyons also volunteers alongside her Elavon colleagues to coordinate donation drives for toys, books and art supplies for the local children’s hospital and collect essential school supplies for local, underserved schools.

“Again, as individuals, we could help a few kids, but together we are able to fill entire SUVs with goodies and necessities,” she said.

Make helping a habit 
Commitment is key in forming good habits, Lyons said, and volunteerism is no exception.

“When you make community work a consistent part of your life, it ceases to be a grand gesture of charity and becomes an expected part of living in a community,” she said. “I give my time and energy now because I can. I know that any one of us may, at some point, need to receive assistance. We all need to recognize that giving and accepting help is part of our dedication to each other and our communities.”

“If someone is just starting out in volunteer work, it’s fine to start small but it’s important to be consistent,” Lyons said. “Twenty years ago, I began dedicating time to acts of service to show my daughter the important role each of us has in supporting our community. I started with just a few activities a year but quickly saw, and felt, the positive impact. I now dedicate five days a month to work in my community.”

NEW YORK, April 21, 2023 /3BL Media/ – Bloomberg LP today published its 2022 Impact Report, which outlines how the company continues to address climate change through its operations and products, philanthropy and collaborations with partners and industry peers. The report also provides details on how Bloomberg continues to invest in an increasingly diverse workforce, and drives change on critical social issues.

The report highlights Bloomberg’s efforts to build significant momentum in the lead up to the UN climate change conference (COP27) and how the company, along with Bloomberg Philanthropies, are leading industry initiatives to transition the global economy to net zero and bring transparency to climate risk data. This in turn helps markets to better understand how climate can impact businesses and economies.

“The world is in transition, moving away from a past powered and polluted by fossil fuels and heading towards a future that runs on clean and renewable energy,” said Michael R. Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg LP and Bloomberg Philanthropies. “We aren’t nearly as far along as we should be in order to avoid the worst harms of climate change. But the right tools and support can help companies and policymakers pick up the pace – and at Bloomberg, we’re working harder than ever to provide them.”

Some highlights from the 2022 Impact Report include:

Environmental Impact

Reducing emissions in line with a 1.5°C future

Bloomberg has progressed towards its validated near-term science-based targets for 2030 which are in line with required global emissions reductions necessary to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius. This includes a 38% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions (target: 80%) and a 36% reduction in Scope 3 emissions (target: 30%) from a 2018 baseline.In 2022, Bloomberg’s 2.55MW solar project expansion went live at the Princeton office, with solar energy now providing 100% of the electricity needed for the two buildings on site. Overall, nearly 55% of Bloomberg’s global electricity consumption is sourced from renewable energy projects, with an additional 13% of global electricity sourced from renewable certificates.The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has validated Bloomberg’s overall science-based net-zero target by 2040 from a 2018 base year, which includes long-term absolute emissions reduction targets of 90% across our global Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions.

Supporting coherent, impactful climate action

Bloomberg expanded and enhanced its Sustainable Finance products that help investors and companies better evaluate assets and assess environmental performance, including expanding its proprietary Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Scores to cover 5,500 companies across all sectors.Bloomberg launched several new indices within the Bloomberg Climate Index family, including Bloomberg Paris Aligned Indices, which deliver investors the tools and insight they need to measure and align their investment strategy with the Paris Climate Agreement’s decarbonization targets.Bloomberg launched new tools for analyzing climate risk, including the Net Zero Pathway screen on the Bloomberg Terminal (ESG NETZ<GO>), which enables users to keep tabs on the company’s emissions reductions pledges and progress towards net-zero targets, and Implied Temperature Rise Metrics, which provide investors with comparable measures for assessing how companies and investment and loan portfolios align with climate goals.BloombergNEF published more than 2,500 research publications on the global low-carbon transition and commodity markets in 2022.Bloomberg’s News and Media divisions published extensive content on climate and ESG across multiple channels. In 2022, our readership across ESG stories increased 93%.Bloomberg continued to strengthen access to climate-related information through the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) and the Climate Data Steering Committee (CDSC). The TCFD framework now serves as a foundation for climate reporting standards being developed by countries and standards-setters around the world. French President Emmanuel Macron and Michael Bloomberg created the CDSC in June 2022, with a goal to build a broadly accessible foundation of high-quality climate data that is critical to delivering a net-zero economy.Bloomberg continued to lead efforts to clear the way to a low-carbon economy through the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) and the Climate Finance Leadership Initiative (CFLI). GFANZ, co-chaired by Mike Bloomberg, released tools to help companies and financial institutions develop and implement strategies for achieving net zero. CFLI, chaired by Mike Bloomberg, launched CFLI Colombia, its second Country Pilot initiative designed to mobilize climate finance tailored to the local market.

Social Impact

Investing in an increasingly diverse workforce

Bloomberg outlined its diversity and inclusion vision — inclusion of all, exclusion of none — and evolved our D&I mission: to build an inclusive and equitable culture for all of us, by all of us.Bloomberg launched the Chairman’s Challenge to encourage 900+ global managers to develop D&I-focused ideas to help increase inclusion and spur positive change in our business.Bloomberg expanded its Diversity Sourcing team and collaborated with nearly 20 external organizations in 2022, including Management Leadership for Tomorrow, Project BASTA and ALPFA, to help us identify and hire candidates from underrepresented communities.Through our Best of Bloomberg program, a record 18,382 employees from 111 cities participated in volunteering, giving and access programs during 2022, including 784 team projects hosted at the request of 60 departments across the company.

Driving change on critical social issues

Bloomberg’s social and governance data, scores and insights help investors and companies evaluate assets and report on social performance. In 2022, the number of companies that submitted their data to Bloomberg via the Gender Equality Index Reporting Framework increased by 11%. The 2022 GEI features 484 companies from 54 industries headquartered in 45 countries and regions, representing a total market capitalization of $16 trillion.Bloomberg employees facilitated more than 38,600 mentoring interactions to help improve access to financial industry careers for historically underrepresented groups. This included hosting the Bloomberg ESG Trading Challenge at five Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the U.S. and offering the new Bloomberg for Education ESG Certificate course, where participants earned a credential to add to their resumes and LinkedIn profiles.Our Open Source Program Office (OSPO) in Bloomberg’s Office of the CTO and Corporate Philanthropy launched the Bloomberg FOSS Contributor Fund, a framework designed to put sponsorship decisions of free and open source software (FOSS) projects into the hands of Bloomberg employees who are active within the open source community.Bloomberg’s New Voices initiative–developed to increase the representation of women and minority executives as sources in both online and on-air content–brought media training to 13 global cities and increased the representation of women and minority executives as sources in both online and on-air content. Since 2018, the program has more than tripled the percentage of external female guests on Bloomberg Television and helped Bloomberg grow its global database of women sources from 500 to 8,400+ names.Nearly 15,000 employees participated in volunteer work in their communities, including offering financial assistance, sharing pro bono expertise and creating care packages for vulnerable neighbors and those in need of disaster relief.

The Impact Report is third-party verified, and is in accordance with the CDP climate change questionnaire, as well as the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) and SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board) frameworks, and the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
