At the virtual Hirdaramani 2026 Supplier Summit, Cascale played a key role in supplier on-boarding and support for decarbonization.

Hiradaramani has a long-term vision of decarbonization; they are the first apparel manufacturing company in Sri Lanka to secure Net-Zero Standard approval by the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) in 2024. They have committed to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2050.

With more than 150 virtual attendees, the summit celebrated Hirdaramani’s leveling up of its climate commitments, including the development of its Scope 3 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Reduction Program. Already, they are committed to a near-term science-based target to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 54.6 percent by 2033 from a 2022 base year under SBTi. Now, the manufacturer aims to additionally reduce its absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services by 32.5 percent. Aligned with SBTi, this program focuses on supplier engagement, understanding and reducing emissions across the group’s full value chain, particularly emissions arising from materials, goods, and services purchased from suppliers.

Hirdaramani Apparel’s managing director Mr. Madhawa Atapattu gave the welcome address, followed by the group’s general manager of sustainability Leonie Vaas, who introduced the Scope 3 session.

Cascale’s senior director of decarbonization Joyce Tsoi and senior member of manufacturing engagement Betty Li gave a presentation on decarbonization. The technical session covered industry decarbonization trends, data requirements, onboarding process, timelines, and support mechanisms for programs such as the Manufacturer Climate Action Program (MCAP).

Explaining the urgency of the climate crisis, Tsoi and Li stressed the importance of Hirdaramani’s supplier collaboration to drive industry decarbonization upstream. They explained the role of Cascale as a global industry convenor, with the Higg Index acting as a best-in-class industry harmonized measurement tool in measuring carbon emission across tier 1 to 3 manufacturing facilities. Relying on data aggregation Cascale leverages the data and produces useful industry insights to inform necessary actions required to accelerate decarbonization actions. They emphasized the shared goal in driving collective action at scale.

Headquartered in Kahathuduwa, Hirdaramani Exports International Ltd. is a major apparel manufacturer that operates 20 facilities across Sri Lanka. The manufacturer plays a key role in shaping Cascale’s upcoming Cascale Forum: Colombo March 30 to April 1.

PITTSBURGH, February 3, 2026 /3BL/ — Recently, DICK’S Sporting Goods (NYSE: DKS) launched a new program, DICK’S Team USA Ambassadors, comprised of Team USA Olympic and Paralympic athletes ahead of the highly anticipated Olympic and Paralympic Games Milano Cortina 2026. The DICK’S Team USA Ambassadors program celebrates the passion, talent and unwavering dedication of Team USA athletes as they prepare to compete on the world’s largest stage.

DICK’S Team USA Ambassadors features a dynamic roster of nine Team USA athletes, including:

• Erin Jackson, Speedskating
• Oksana Masters, Para Nordic Skiing
• Charlie McAvoy, Ice Hockey
• Ilia Malinin, Figure Skating
• Red Gerard, Snowboarding
• Declan Farmer, Sled Hockey
• Audrey Crowley, Alpine Skiing
• Korey Dropkin, Curling
• Caroline Harvey, Ice Hockey

From world champions to rising stars, these athletes represent some of the most anticipated competitors, each bringing unique stories of perseverance and excellence to Milano Cortina 2026.

To further support youth sports and expand access to play, each DICK’S Team USA Ambassador will select a youth sports organization to receive a $10,000 Sports Matter grant, provided by The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation. Each nominated organization must meet The Foundation’s eligibility criteria to ensure funds benefit programs that create meaningful opportunities for young athletes to participate in sports. In addition, if an ambassador earns a medal during the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, they will receive an additional $10,000 grant to award to the same organization, doubling the impact.

Prior to Milano Cortina 2026, DICK’S hosted send-off celebrations in select DICK’S stores, with Korey Dropkin, Caroline Harvey, Ilia Malinin and Declan Farmer. Following the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games, DICK’S will host homecoming celebrations for DICK’S Team USA Ambassadors who earn a medal during Milano Cortina 2026.

“At DICK’S, we know storytelling has the power to connect fans during major sports moments and inspire tomorrow’s star athletes,” said Mark Rooks, VP of Creative, Sponsorship & Entertainment at DICK’S . “We’re proud to champion Team USA and shine a spotlight on the drive and dedication that shapes these athletes’ path to the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.”

“Representing Team USA has been one of my greatest honors, and having DICK’S support me and the others chasing our dreams for Milan adds something special to the experience,” said Erin Jackson, speedskater for Team USA. “I’m grateful for the chance to share my story and celebrate this journey to Milano Cortina 2026 with the fans!”

Alongside DICK’S new ambassador program, the brand is launching a new marketing ad titled, Every Season. The spot, set to an iconic sports anthem from a beloved football movie, highlights the preparation, training and competition that defines every athlete’s journey – the same theme DICK’S Team USA Ambassadors will bring to life in their social content. Through powerful storytelling, the ad reinforces that “Every Season Starts at DICK’S” and underscores the brand’s commitment to supporting athletes at every stage of sport.

Beginning on February 8th, Every Season will run across multiple streaming services and broadcast. The campaign will continue to run across platforms throughout the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

Through DICK’S Official Partnership with Team USA, fans can continue to purchase official Team USA merchandise at DICK’S locations, online at dicks.com and on the DICK’S mobile app so they can stay geared up for all the big moments.

The DICK’S Team USA Ambassadors program celebrates the passion, talent and unwavering dedication of Team USA athletes as they prepare to compete on the world’s largest stage.

In an incredible moment of solidarity in the urgent work to advance healthy indoor air, 12 members of the the Global Commission on Healthy Indoor Air came together at International WELL Building Institute (IWBI)’s WELL Summit in New York yesterday to stand up and deliver a series of brief but powerful messages. Taken together, they formed a collective, compelling story, one that sharpened the call to action and underscored why this Commission has come together and is spending the year ahead developing the first-ever Global Framework for Action. Below are snippets of each Commissioner’s remarks.

“By coming together, the Commission has become the world’s foremost alliance of global leaders working to advance healthy indoor air. We’ve locked arms – aligning our collective expertise, knowledge and influence – around a singular purpose: to meet the moment and address one of the greatest public health challenges of our time—ensuring that the air we breathe indoors is healthy and clean.”

“Poor indoor air quality is not evenly shared. It hits children, older adults and people with respiratory or cardiovascular conditions the hardest, especially because they often spend more time indoors. And it compounds existing inequities, falling disproportionately on low-income and vulnerable communities already overburdened by environmental risk. That is why equity can’t be an “add-on.” For us, it will be core.”

“For families living with asthma and allergies, the quality of indoor air can be a daily hazard. That’s not rhetoric; that’s reality…So as Commissioners, we’re here to shift the story: schools should not be trigger zones. They should be sanctuaries for learning that enhance health and well-being. That means tackling ventilation, filtration and pairing solutions with clear guidance so districts aren’t left guessing”

“As we embark on this work, we know we don’t need to choose between climate goals and health…We will carry forward the truth that our buildings can advance planetary health and human health side-by-side. That’s not aspirational, these strategies are already being deployed today by leading building owners, designers and operators. As I often say, healthy indoor air is not the opposite of high performance, it’s the proof of it.”

“Consider this: we would never accept a glass of dirty water. Yet for decades, we’ve accepted air that undermines health, learning and productivity—simply because it’s harder to see. But now we know and we’re organized. Through the Commission, we’re coalescing around what comes next and aligning around ways to scale change that can accelerate solutions to ensure healthy indoor air. Our job is to help move healthy indoor air from an aspiration to an expectation; from optional to non-negotiable.”

“The good news is that the technology is here. We have the tools. We can measure. We can monitor. We can do this right now. The biggest question is: how do we do it smarter and faster. Having the solutions doesn’t make progress a given. Better outcomes must be paired with a plan. And that’s why this Commission matters: to build the connective tissue between science, solutions and scale. By doing that, we can fulfil the promise of healthy indoor air.”

“As someone who has spent a career at the intersection of sustainability, health and nature, I’ll offer this: the healthiest buildings are the ones that feel right, because they are tuned to the human experience, supporting healthy indoor air and connecting us with the living world. Nature-inspired strategies can reinforce the conditions that support healthier indoor air, such as better airflow, stronger moisture control and spaces that foster comfort, stewardship and performance.”

“As Commissioners we’re not only focused on the air itself, but also the choices that influence how clean it stays, starting with materials. Material health is a direct lever for healthier indoor environments, because contributors to poor indoor air quality often begin at the source, from products, finishes or furnishings. Thus, the material choices we make have a significant impact on the air we’re breathing inside our buildings.”

”To change what happens indoors, we have to change what we can see. That’s why sensing and controls can be a turning point: they make the invisible visible and transform indoor air from a vague concern into measurable performance…As Commissioners, we’re translating evidence like this to shape future policy approaches that help decision-makers act…When performance becomes visible, improvement will become more and more routine. When that happens, healthy indoor air stops being exceptional. It becomes ubiquitous.

“Everything we do together makes a difference. It creates the steady drumbeat that makes this issue impossible to ignore. Indeed, the Commission itself is a message to the world: we are here, we are organized and we will not stop showing up until healthy indoor air is given the attention, and the action, it deserves.”

“As you can see, the next chapter for us is execution. As Commissioners, we’re already at work: convening, listening, aligning…From all the speakers you heard from today, it’s clear that everything about this effort is built on collaboration and powered by partnership. Because this work only succeeds if we move forward together. So, just as we did at the launch, I’ll do again here and issue a call to join us—as partners, technical leaders or advocates. If you belong in this work, reach out to engage with us and be part of the change.”

In an incredible moment of solidarity in the urgent work to advance healthy indoor air, 12 members of the the Global Commission on Healthy Indoor Air came together at International WELL Building Institute (IWBI)’s WELL Summit in New York yesterday to stand up and deliver a series of brief but powerful messages. Taken together, they formed a collective, compelling story, one that sharpened the call to action and underscored why this Commission has come together and is spending the year ahead developing the first-ever Global Framework for Action. Below are snippets of each Commissioner’s remarks.

“By coming together, the Commission has become the world’s foremost alliance of global leaders working to advance healthy indoor air. We’ve locked arms – aligning our collective expertise, knowledge and influence – around a singular purpose: to meet the moment and address one of the greatest public health challenges of our time—ensuring that the air we breathe indoors is healthy and clean.”

“Poor indoor air quality is not evenly shared. It hits children, older adults and people with respiratory or cardiovascular conditions the hardest, especially because they often spend more time indoors. And it compounds existing inequities, falling disproportionately on low-income and vulnerable communities already overburdened by environmental risk. That is why equity can’t be an “add-on.” For us, it will be core.”

“For families living with asthma and allergies, the quality of indoor air can be a daily hazard. That’s not rhetoric; that’s reality…So as Commissioners, we’re here to shift the story: schools should not be trigger zones. They should be sanctuaries for learning that enhance health and well-being. That means tackling ventilation, filtration and pairing solutions with clear guidance so districts aren’t left guessing”
