According to the UNEP, the buildings and construction sector accounts for roughly 32 percent of global energy consumption and 34 percent of global CO₂ emissions. These numbers reveal a simple truth often overlooked in the climate conversation: if we want to secure a livable future, the built environment must be part of the solution. Every home, office tower, school, hospital, warehouse, and civic space we design, renovate, or operate plays a role in determining whether we accelerate toward climate stability or drift further off course.

The encouraging news is that buildings are among the clearest pathways to immediate climate progress. Unlike many hard-to-abate sectors, this area already has decarbonization tools that are increasingly cost-competitive. Electrified heating and cooling, better insulation and passive design, high-performance windows, rooftop solar, advanced controls, and low-carbon building materials are no longer theoretical concepts — they are widely deployed and economically viable. When integrated thoughtfully, they can transform buildings from major emitters into powerful engines of resilience.

At Domini Impact Investments, we invest in public companies and municipal issuers that are actively shaping a low-carbon, climate-resilient built environment. In the real estate sector, we seek companies with robust green building certifications, credible emissions-reduction pathways, and strong practices around embodied carbon tracking and reduction. Alexandria Real Estate Equities, for example, maintains a large portfolio of green-certified buildings, finances additional LEED certifications through significant green bond issuances, and uses scenario modeling to evaluate physical environmental risk and implement resilience measures.

NATIONAL, February 11, 2026, /3BL/ — The Robert A. Winn Excellence in Clinical Trials Award Program (Winn Awards), along with the American Heart Association (Heart Association), and EveryGrant^® implemented by Conquer Cancer^®, the ASCO Foundation (Conquer Cancer), with funding from the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation (BMS Foundation), an independent charitable organization, recently announced the third cohort of physicians selected to receive the prestigious Winn Clinical Investigator Leadership Award (Winn CILA).

The Winn CILA is a three-year professional and leadership development program designed for early-career clinical investigators — exclusively graduates of the Winn Career Development Award (Winn CDA). The program provides salary support, advanced clinical trials expertise, high-impact mentorship, and institutional networks to help participants become independent and highly effective community-oriented clinical researchers.

“We are delighted to witness the growth in leadership skills as well as the strong relationships developed between the Winn CILA-Oncology investigators and their National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN) mentors. Already we have seen progress — expanded networks, patient recruitment, and innovation in clinical trials design,” said Michal Tibbits, Vice President, Professional Development Department, ASCO.

Winn CILA comprises two distinct programs:

• Winn CILA-Cardiovascular (CILA-CV) — managed by the American Heart Association, supporting clinical investigators in cardiovascular science and medicine.
• Winn CILA-Oncology (CILA-Onc) — implemented by Conquer Cancer’s EveryGrant, with the training program led by the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute’s National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN)

“We are deeply committed to supporting the next generation of leaders who are shaping the future of cardiovascular clinical research,” said Stacey E. Rosen, M.D., FAHA, volunteer president of the American Heart Association and senior vice president of women’s health and executive director of the Katz Institute for Women’s Health of Northwell Health in New York City. “The Winn CILA-Cardiovascular program strengthens the scientific workforce and equips physician-investigators with the knowledge and connections needed to drive meaningful advancements in patient care.”

2025 Winn CILA Award Recipients

The seven award recipients from the third cohort come from a range of oncology and cardiovascular backgrounds and expertise:

Winn CILA is one of three awards under the Winn Award Program that aims to ensure more patients and communities are included in research and have access to the latest advances in medicine. The Winn Awards were established in 2020 by the BMS Foundation to improve participation in clinical trials to drive better health outcomes in all communities and save more lives.

“As the Winn Awards enters its fifth year, we are seeing the vision behind the program take shape through a new generation of community-centered scientific leaders,” said Catharine Grimes, President of the BMS Foundation. “The Clinical Investigator Leadership Award equips Winn CDA graduates with leadership training and the unique opportunity to work directly within the National Clinical Trials Network and the Strategically Focused Research Networks to bring the promise of innovation closer to every community. The Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation is proud to support their continued career and leadership development, as they improve clinical trial participation and ultimately patient outcomes in the communities they serve.”

Applications for the next cycle of the Winn CILA program will open for Winn CDA graduates in spring 2026 for oncology candidates and summer 2026 for cardiovascular candidates.

CNH Capital together with BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, and in collaboration with Shepherd Compello and Swiss Re, today announced the launch of an innovative Parametric Service designed to offer a new level of financial security to agriculture customers across Europe.

HOW THE PARAMETRIC SERVICE WORKS

Unlike insurance, which often requires lengthy assessments, this new service is built on transparency and speed. It is a contractual parametric service integrated directly into CNH Capital’s financing agreements and is designed to mitigate the financial cost of machine “non-use” during periods of extreme weather.

• Parameter-Driven: the service is activated automatically when pre-agreed weather triggers – based on the intensity and duration of excess rain or drought – are met, as measured by independent, verifiable data satellite sources.
• Automatic Reimbursement (no claim required): since the payout is triggered by objective weather data rather than physical damage to the machine, the customer does not need to submit documentation or undergo a complex claims process.
• Financial Support: upon activation, the customer automatically receives a reimbursement equivalent to one monthly installment (per year). This provides a cash flow injection exactly when adverse weather disrupts their operations.

Elias Mendes, Head of CNH Capital in EMEA, states: “This partnership is a testament to our unwavering commitment to the sustainability and operational resilience of our customers in Europe. Agriculture is increasingly impacted by climate volatility, and this service provides a simple, immediate financial safety net. By leveraging our long-standing Joint Venture with BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions and working with Shepherd Compello and Swiss Re, we have embedded innovation directly into our financing, ensuring our customers have the flexibility to manage external risks.”

BETHESDA, Md., February 10, 2026 /3BL/ – Tandem Global announces the release of a new white paper, Corporate Social Responsibility: A Commitment to Sustainability and Shared Prosperity, available for download today. This white paper is sponsored by DTE Energy.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has become an increasingly important measure of legitimacy in the modern business landscape. As stakeholders gain greater access to information and corporate actions are scrutinized in real time, organizations are being evaluated not only on financial performance, but on how responsibly they operate and contribute to society. Consumers, employees, and investors alike expect companies to demonstrate meaningful action that reflects their stated values.

CSR represents a company’s commitment to operate ethically and sustainably by considering the social, environmental, and economic impacts of its decisions. While profitability remains essential, responsible business practices challenge organizations to broaden their definition of success. By integrating CSR into core operations, companies can strengthen trust, reduce risk, and build long-term resilience while supporting the communities and ecosystems on which they depend.

This white paper examines how corporations are advancing environmental responsibility through the principles of corporate social responsibility. By focusing on conservation, remediation, and community engagement, it highlights how CSR initiatives can support environmental stewardship while promoting social and economic well-being. These examples illustrate the growing importance of CSR as a framework for ethical corporate conduct and shared value creation.

Featured case studies include:

• Ashland, 009 Landfill: Georgia, U.S.A.
• Cemex, Canteras Norte, Sur, Zona 3 y Zona 4: Panamá, Panamá
• Freeport-McMoRan, Unidad de Produccion Cerro Verde: Arequipa, Peru
• General Motors, GM Korea Gunsan Site: Gunsan, South Korea
• INVISTA, Victoria Site: Texas, U.S.A.
• Ontario Power Generation, Niagara Operations Sites: Ontario, Canada
• Sibelco, Unidade Jaguaruna: Santa Catarina, Brazil

Sponsored by DTE Energy, this white paper features a foreword from Shawn P. Patterson, Vice President of Environmental Management and Safety, offering insight into the role of CSR in driving sustainable business practices.

Leidos has again been recognized by global environmental non‑profit CDP for its corporate sustainability and emissions management efforts. The company received a “B” score in CDP’s 2025 assessment for its commitment to transparency and governance around climate change. Leidos has disclosed through CDP since 2015.

Over 22,100 companies disclosed environmental data through CDP in 2025. These companies represent more than half of global market capitalization, including some of the world’s largest and most impactful companies. CDP’s annual disclosure and scoring process remains a widely recognized measure of corporate environmental transparency and performance. By disclosing, companies are better positioned to meet growing expectations for environmental transparency from investors, customers, and policymakers.

“For 25 years, CDP has stood shoulder to shoulder with companies leading the way on environmental action and creating a world where people, planet and profit are balanced and protected. Environmental risk is financial risk and operational risk. By disclosing data through CDP, companies like Leidos are taking the first step in measuring and managing their impacts, reducing the risks to their bottom line and seizing opportunities for growth. 

And the results are clear—investing in resilience and mitigating climate risk can deliver returns of up to $21 for every $1 spent, while within two years of their first CDP disclosure, companies can reduce their emissions by 7–10%. Tackling environmental risks head-on creates a more resilient economy, increases companies’ ability to innovate and invest, and protects our planet. Disclosure is a critical tool, underpinning and guiding the action companies take to drive change for the future. We truly appreciate the support of Leidos as we encourage transparency, action and Earth-positive decision making for the benefit of all.” 
— Simon Fischweicher, Head of Corporations and Supply Chains, CDP North America

Leidos continues to report progress on emissions reduction and governance measures as part of its ongoing environmental transparency efforts.
