PARK CITY, Utah, January 15, 2026 /3BL/ – Mountain Mediation announces a generous $100,000 grant from the Wells Fargo Foundation. The check presentation will be held on Friday, January 16th, at 3pm at the historic McPolin Barn (3000 UT-224, Park City, UT 84060)*. It will be a chilly day by the thermometer, but hearts will be warmed by the foundation’s generosity and some hot cocoa from Mountain Mediation.

The substantial contribution will be used to scale and strengthen Mountain Mediation’s existing Eviction Prevention program and support the hiring of a Program Coordinator and two bilingual housing mediators. The Program Coordinator will design and deliver housing mediation training for any Utah court-rostered mediator. The grant also funds educational experiences and resources for landlords and tenants, helping them both better understand their rights and responsibilities and highlighting the benefits of mediation for conflict resolution.

“Legal eviction is one of the most destabilizing events a family can face. Research shows that eviction filings have profound and long-lasting consequences – including difficulty securing future housing, emotional trauma, and disconnection from schools and communities,” says Gretchen Lee, Executive Director of Mountain Mediation. “This program is about housing stabilization. We want to help our community before legal action is taken. The grant from the Wells Fargo Foundation allows us to reach more people, providing invaluable housing education and mediations.”

“Wells Fargo is proud to support Mountain Mediation and their efforts to keep individuals and families safely housed,” said Nathan B. Paddock, Wells Fargo Commercial Banking Market Executive for Utah. “Stable housing is a foundation for financial stability and long-term wellbeing, and Mountain Mediation’s eviction prevention work provides exactly the kind of early, community-based support that makes a meaningful difference. By investing in this program, we are helping expand access to resources, education, and mediation services that empower both tenants and landlords to find fair, sustainable solutions. This collaboration reflects our ongoing commitment to strengthening communities and increasing housing access for those who need it most.”

About Mountain Mediation: Mountain Mediation’s mission is to bring people together to prevent conflict, resolve disputes, and improve communication for a more inclusive community. The nonprofit provides mediation services, landlord/tenant education, communication training, and community conversations. Mountain Mediation has developed a comprehensive landlord/tenant eviction diversion program and also offers communication training to help individuals, organizations, schools, and businesses engage in constructive dialogue and effectively manage and resolve conflicts. Program Overview: The need for timely, tenant-focused support has never been greater. Mountain Mediation’s Eviction Prevention Program helps people stay housed and avoid the financial and emotional strain of eviction. Through early intervention, education, and mediation, we help tenants and landlords find fair solutions before problems worsen. This promotes stable housing and better financial outcomes for individuals and families.

FARMINGTON, Conn., January 15, 2026 /3BL/ – Otis (NYSE: OTIS), the world’s leading company for elevator and escalator manufacturing, installation and service, is making its successful Little Engineers program available everywhere the company does business.

What is Little Engineers?

Little Engineers is a hands-on, elevator-focused STEM education initiative designed to teach young students about the technology, safety and history of the elevator and escalator industry. Originally launched in Hong Kong SAR, more than 800 students across Greater China and the Asia Pacific regions have engaged in the Little Engineers program.

Where is it expanding?

Now, Otis is expanding the program globally, strengthening community engagement by empowering Otis colleagues to serve as Little Engineers volunteers, and motivating students to explore STEM fields early.

The program recently expanded to the Middle East. In Saudi Arabia, Otis volunteers partnered with the Jeddah Orphans Association to deliver meaningful STEM experiences to young learners. And in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, volunteers led 50 students through the program at Sharjah Indian School.

What do the students do?

Through interactive lessons, hands-on projects and virtual adventures, primary school students can explore the science behind elevators and escalators, learn about vertical mobility technologies, and build mini elevators and pulley systems.

Why is it important?

The global expansion of Little Engineers supports Otis’ commitment to inspire youth around the world to become part of our dynamic industry, while reinforcing its dedication to safety, innovation, and community engagement.

“This global expansion reflects Otis’ commitment to engaging meaningfully in the communities we serve. Through initiatives like Little Engineers, we’re helping young people discover the excitement of STEM, gain a basic understanding of elevator systems and core technology and learn and practice safe-riding tips,” said Matt Turner, Vice President of Social Impact at Otis. “Programs like Little Engineers also allow us to introduce students to the human side of engineering – its creativity and real-world impact. It’s a way to spark interest early and share the passion that drives so many of our engineers today.”

How does Little Engineers compare with other Otis Social Impact programs?

Little Engineers complements Otis’ flagship social impact program, Made to Move Communities.™ While Made to Move Communities focuses on students ages 14 and older with innovation-driven problem solving, Little Engineers engages younger learners through hands-on exploration.

As we reflect on the past year, the Beverage Industry Environmental Roundtable (BIER) would like to recognize and sincerely thank Nicolas Clerget, Global Director of Net Zero Carbon Strategy at HEINEKEN, for his outstanding leadership as BIER’s 2025 Steering Committee Chair.

Throughout his tenure, Nicolas brought an exceptional level of industry insight, strategic perspective, and deep engagement to BIER’s leadership. He demonstrated a rare ability to see both the immediate realities facing the beverage sector and the longer-term shifts shaping its future. His perspective consistently helped the Steering Committee and broader membership think more clearly and ambitiously about what meaningful progress looks like.

Nicolas was highly engaged with both the Steering Committee and the BIER team. He came to discussions well prepared, asked thoughtful, probing questions, and offered perspectives grounded in practical experience while remaining oriented toward long-term impact. He served as an invaluable sounding board, helping to pressure-test ideas, sharpen priorities, and ensure that conversations stayed focused on outcomes that matter.

Under Nicolas’s leadership, BIER advanced several vital initiatives that strengthened collaboration and extended the organization’s reach. This included supporting the organization of the BIER European Summit in Sevilla, which fostered deeper dialogue across the industry and created space for engagement beyond BIER’s core membership. Nicolas also encouraged outreach to non-BIER companies, helping broaden participation in industry platforms and reinforcing BIER’s role as a convening forum for shared learning and collective action.

Perhaps most notably, Nicolas brought a forward-thinking mindset to his role as Chair. He encouraged proactive dialogue around emerging issues and supported BIER’s efforts to begin shaping its 2030 roadmap, emphasizing the importance of pairing long-term vision with concrete goals. His leadership helped ensure that strategic discussions remained grounded in execution, accountability, and real-world impact.

Through his guidance, Nicolas helped foster a constructive, solutions-oriented culture within the Steering Committee, one where companies could engage candidly, align on priorities, and collaborate on shared challenges. His leadership reinforced BIER’s role as a trusted forum where members can collectively raise the bar for environmental performance across the beverage sector.

As BIER continues to build on nearly two decades of collaboration and impact, Nicolas’s stewardship in 2025 has strengthened the organization and positioned it well for the work ahead. His commitment, insight, and leadership have left a lasting mark on BIER and its community.

We are deeply grateful for Nicolas’s time, dedication, and thoughtful leadership. Thank you, Nicolas, for your service as Chair and for the meaningful contributions you have made to advancing environmental sustainability across the beverage industry.
