At AMD, we think holistically about lifecycle management, starting with product design through system eco-labels. Design considerations are particularly important given the scaled sustainability implications that occur further down the value chain, namely product manufacturing and use. Key design considerations at AMD include modular architecture and wafer optimization, recycled content, hazardous substances and product packaging.

Modular Design and Architecture

For over a decade, AMD has successfully been designing solutions using smaller, more specialized chiplets. For example, a central chiplet called an anchor can orchestrate efficient power management for all the chiplets across the “system on chip” (SOC). Some chiplets require continuous power, some require dynamic power adjustments based on real-time requirements and others have dedicated power budgets to manage independently while still notifying the anchor about their power needs. 

Modular design can also scale and adapt to different workloads without requiring significant redesigns or new hardware for every application. This helps improve resource utilization because systems can be tailored to meet specific performance needs. This is particularly important in high-performance computing that powers demanding workloads and advancements in health care, energy, climate science, transportation and scientific research. 

The AMD EPYC™ and AMD Instinct™ product lines that use cutting-edge modular design and architecture and together or separately power 60% of the top 20 most energy-efficient supercomputers in the world (Green500, June 2025).^[i]

Wafer Yield Optimization

AMD uses wafer design and manufacturing strategies such as harvesting and redundancy repair to optimize the number of usable chips per wafer, known as yield. Through sophisticated modeling and simulation tools, and collaboration with our wafer foundry partners, we can optimize resource efficiency and reduce waste in semiconductor manufacturing. 

Wafer harvesting and redundancy repair identifies and repurposes sections of a die that may have minor defects but are still fully functional for certain applications. Instead of discarding a die with minor defects, those die can be reconfigured and repurposed for different use cases. Core harvesting, for example, can occur if 1 core has a defect on an 8-core die, resulting in that core being disabled, so the 7-core die can be used in a lower core count product. Another approach is to design in targeted redundancy, so if a defect occurs in one part of a die, a redundant or backup cell can be used rather than scrapping the entire die. As a result, the number and yield percentage of usable die per wafer increases, lowering the total number of wafers manufactured thus reducing raw materials, energy, emissions and water usage.

AMD estimates that from 2022-2024, the environmental benefits of AMD wafer harvesting and redundancy strategies resulted in savings of approximately 843 million liters of water and 930,000 metric tCO2e of emissions. This amounts to roughly 1.2 times more water use and 6.7 times more carbon emissions than AMD operations during this timeframe.^[ii]

Recycled Content in Product 

In 2024, AMD launched new initiatives aiming to increase recycled content in our products, thereby advancing our circular economy and decarbonization strategies. We identified priority materials for sourcing recycled content, assessed the existing state of recycled content usage within our supply chain (measured by weight) and explored opportunities to increase the use of recycled materials in our products when feasible. We initially prioritized aluminum and copper, as these represent the largest materials by weight across our product portfolio in 2024.

Our efforts in 2024 and 2025 entailed working with our Manufacturing Suppliers, including through supplier business reviews and sub-tier smelter refinery surveys. For example, we identified copper recycling activities currently being used in our supply chain. In addition, there is supplier-led research into new sources for copper recovery. We continue to work with our Manufacturing Suppliers to identify which aluminum smelters are being used for sourcing aluminum. 

We will continue these efforts and report on our progress while also working with industry groups, such as the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) and Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI), to coordinate and standardize these efforts across the value chain. In 2024, the RBA issued its updated Circular Materials Landscape Assessment, reinforcing the need to standardize data, design reverse supply chains and improve assurance of environmental and labor protections.

Product Packaging

Through our suppliers, we use packaging materials for the shipping and handling of our products on their journeys to consumers – this includes processors in a box (PIBs), graphics cards, FPGAs and adaptive SoCs, evaluation boards, system-on-modules and AMD Alveo™ accelerator cards. We offer packaging that meets the amended requirements of the EU Packaging Directive (94/62/EC). AMD specifies the packaging materials used, including the recyclability of materials and the use of recycled content, and continuously seeks to incorporate environmentally preferable packing materials, including non-toxic dyes. 

For example, in 2024, AMD began efforts to evaluate replacing recyclable foam end-cap packaging in server products with a material that utilizes recycled content. Those efforts continued into 2025 as teams work through design enhancements and iterations.

Ten years ago, IWBI set out to tackle a defining question:

What if buildings could actively improve people’s health—and deliver real business value at the same time?

We had a strong conviction they could—and today, we have a decade’s worth of data, research and real-world validation to show how that vision has taken shape.

Over the past decade, we’ve seen WELL move from early adoption to widespread use. With that has come an explosion of real-world evidence—and the results are in: WELL buildings perform.

We’re excited to share the second edition of IWBI’s special report:
Investing in Health Pays Back: The Business Case for Healthy Buildings and Healthy Organizations.

This new edition doesn’t just expand on our earlier work—it reflects a broader shift. As WELL adoption has grown, so has the volume and depth of evidence. With more longitudinal studies, in-practice data and peer-reviewed validation, we now have a clearer, more compelling picture of what it looks like when organizations invest in people—through place.

A 2025 study by McKinsey Health Institute and the World Economic Forum shows that prioritizing employee health could generate up to $12 trillion in global economic value and boost GDP by 12%.

Why? Because healthier organizations are more resilient, more productive and more equipped to adapt.

The research shows that WELL buildings have efficacy and outperform their non-certified, conventionally designed, newly constructed peers.

The research shows that WELL buildings drive higher occupant satisfaction – 39% higher occupant satisfaction, on average.

The research shows that WELL Certification increases real estate value, driving an average of 7.7% higher rents per square foot.

And, in what is perhaps the most important, seminal longitudinal study of WELL Certified buildings in North America, the research shows that WELL Certification can substantially boost workplace satisfaction, productivity, well-being and mental health.

The takeaway is clear: investing in health isn’t just good for people—it’s a smart business decision that delivers real returns.

This latest edition highlights new research linking healthy building strategies to measurable improvements in employee productivity and performance. It also features an expanded focus on social sustainability and the critical role health plays in advancing social sustainability. And with the rise of sustainable financing vehicles, we’re seeing a growing trend of WELL being used as a benchmark for health leadership.

Whether you’re aiming to boost real estate value, enhance workplace outcomes, or meet ESG goals, this report gives you the evidence and direction to move forward with confidence.

What is axle gearing?

Axle gearing plays a critical role in vehicle performance. It determines how efficiently engine power is delivered to the wheels, which directly impacts fuel efficiency, torque, acceleration, and the ability to climb grades. Selecting the right axle gearing can lead to lower fuel costs, improved drivability, and fewer maintenance issues throughout the vehicle’s life cycle.

At Cummins, we are committed to helping customers match the right axle gear ratio to each application for maximum performance and return on investment. As powertrain systems become more complex, proper axle gear ratio ensures that vehicles remain responsive, efficient, and reliable in real-world operating conditions.

Why are axle gear ratios important?

The axle gear ratios define the relationship between engine speed (RPM) and wheel speed. At cruising speed, lower numerical gear ratios allows the engine to operate in its optimal RPM range. In certain application such as vocational, higher numerical gear ratios ensures there is enough torque to get the vehicle moving uphill. Anyone who has ever driven a car with manual transmission understands this well and has learned to shift transmission gears appropriately while driving.

But there is another set of gears that couples the driveline to the wheel: axle gears. Unlike transmission gearing, axle gear ratios are fixed. Having the correct axle gear ratio for a vehicle’s primary application is important.

For example, a truck intended for regional haul with frequent stops may benefit from a higher axle gear ratio. In contrast, linehaul fleets that prioritize fuel economy on flat highways typically benefit from lower axle gear ratios that reduce engine RPM at cruising speed.

A well-optimized powertrain with the correct axle gear ratio saves fuel, reduces unnecessary engine strain and supports sustainability targets. That is why Meritor and Cummins engineering teams work closely with truck manufacturers and fleets to choose the best axle ratios for the job.

What are gear ratios?

Axle gear ratios are expressed numerically—such as 4.10:1, 3.70:1, or 2.15:1—and represent the number of times the driveshaft must turn to spin the wheels once. For example, with a 4.10 axle ratio, the driveshaft must turn 4.10 times for each full wheel rotation. This ratio is determined by the number of teeth on two internal components: the ring gear and the pinion gear.

It is easy to confuse related terms. Here is a quick breakdown:

• Gear ratio: The numerical relationship between one or more meshing gears.
• Gearing: The system of gears across all or part of the drivetrain.
• Gearbox: Another word for the transmission—which shifts through multiple gear ratios while driving.
• Ring gear: A large gear inside the axle that receives power from the pinion gear and turns the wheels
• Pinion gear: A small gear connected to the driveshaft that delivers power into the axle by turning the ring gear.

Unlike the transmission, which adapts to changing speeds, the axle’s gear ratio is fixed—and forms the final drive of the powertrain. Selecting the right one is essential for aligning engine output with the vehicle’s duty cycle.

Understanding gearing and how gearing impacts efficiency and performance helps fleets tailor their vehicles for specific duty cycles. Differences between direct drive and overdrive configurations can affect fuel efficiency, power delivery, and overall drivability.

Meritor’s 14X HE axle line offers low-friction, high-efficiency gearing options designed for applications ranging from urban delivery to long-haul transport. Since gear ratios are not one-size-fits-all, they must be matched to the vehicle’s application.

This is where engineering support and data analytics come into play, helping customers identify the best configuration for performance, profitability and durability.

How gearing technology has evolved over time?

Axle gearing has come a long way from one-size-fits-all setups. Today’s axle gear sets are engineered with precision to deliver performance, efficiency and reliability. Meritor’s high-efficiency axles, for example, are designed to reduce friction and heat at the gear mesh, delivering better fuel economy without sacrificing durability.

The Meritor 14X HE SFR 2.05 axle, when paired with the Cummins X15™ engine and the Endurant automated manual transmission, is designed to deliver fuel economy gains compared to prior models. It is a powertrain engineered for maximum efficiency down to every gear tooth. These advancements enable smarter gearing choices that reduce total cost of ownership and support sustainable transportation goals.

Engineering teams at Cummins, Meritor, and Eaton Cummins work closely to develop integrated systems. These teams ensure that engines, transmissions, and axles are not only compatible but optimized to work together. This collaboration allows for smarter gearing strategies that reflect real-world conditions and customer feedback.

Today, axle gearing isn’t just a component; it’s a strategy. One that’s driven by data, shaped by engineering, and built for the road ahead. With each innovation, Cummins is helping fleets achieve better performance, more uptime, and a lower carbon footprint.

LAS VEGAS, September 18, 2025 /3BL/ – Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth (NPHY) and Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS) today announced the 2025 Nevada Youth Homelessness Summit will take place Friday, Nov. 14, at the Historic Fifth Street School in Downtown Las Vegas. Registration for the state’s premier youth homelessness advocacy event opens Aug. 11 at nphy.org/Summit25.

With support from the UNLV Greenspun College of Urban Affairs and the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the ninth annual Summit will continue igniting the statewide Movement to End Youth Homelessness by charting the path to build the state’s first standalone plan to end youth homelessness.

“Over the past year, Nevada has made significant strides in the fight to end youth homelessness that are worth celebrating – but new challenges and quickly shifting realities are putting more young people at risk,” Arash Ghafoori, CEO of NPHY, said. “Summit 2025 will unite Nevadans to take full ownership of our response to this crisis by creating, funding and driving the solutions we want to see in our state. This year, we’re putting an even greater spotlight on youth voices because when we listen to their experiences and follow their vision, we are able to build bold, sustainable strategies that truly work for our young people.”

According to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, youth homelessness in Clark County increased 34% from 2023 to 2024. Statewide, the number of young people experiencing homelessness increased by 27% from 2023 to 2024. In addition, homelessness risk factors have accelerated as Nevada is facing the most extreme shortage of affordable housing in the nation, with only 17 affordable rentals available for every 100 extremely low-income rental households, according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition.

Following the Summit in November 2025, development of the state’s first standalone plan to end youth homelessness will begin in 2026. Plan development will model the Southern Nevada Plan to

End Youth Homelessness, introduced in 2018, for which more than 40 local and national cross-sector stakeholder groups came together to create the blueprint for action.

In preparation for 2026 plan development, this year’s Summit will debut findings of the statewide Youth Experiencing Homelessness Study, which serves as the Movement’s statewide needs assessment and provides a robust evaluation of the landscape of youth experiencing homelessness in Nevada.

Summit 2025 will convene young people with lived experience of homelessness, service providers, government agencies, civic and political leaders and members of the private sector for a day of inspirational sessions. Elements will include an update on progress made in the Movement to End Youth Homelessness as a foundation for next steps, along with informative presentations and group discussions on intersectional issues, trends impacting vulnerable young people and youth insights.

T-Mobile is reimagining how a business can grow responsibly, efficiently — and with long-term resilience in mind.

The Un-carrier has pledged to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 by sourcing 100% of its electricity from renewable energy — setting a bold standard in the telecom industry. Since 2020, this vision has resulted in a 33% reduction in total carbon emissions, thanks to a combination of renewable energy sourcing and major energy efficiency upgrades.

By combining innovative thinking with operational discipline, the Un-carrier is taking steps to build a more sustainable future.

For example, T-Mobile has achieved a 73% reduction in energy consumption per petabyte of data since 2019, and its industry-leading 5G network has become more efficient year over year. Improvements in cooling and data center operations have led to an 11% decrease in energy use. With a target to achieve a 95% reduction by 2030, the company is setting the pace.

Sustainability isn’t just a goal — it’s built into how T-Mobile operates and drives value for its business. From smart thermostats and ENERGY STAR lighting to rigorous refurbishment programs for devices, the Un-Carrier is making innovative changes to how it’s harnessing the power of 5G technology solutions, in order to support more sustainable growth. To guide this work, T-Mobile has set out to achieve net-zero emissions across its entire carbon footprint by 2040 — a U.S. wireless industry first. T-Mobile is also a proud participant in global sustainability movements like The Climate Pledge and RE100.

But these numbers only tell part of the story. What makes the impact real is the people who make it possible. And this is their story.

Stay tuned for part 1.

**33% Reduction in total Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions since 2020 using market-based Scope 2 emission figures and excluding Scope 3 indirect use-phase emissions.100% Renewable Electricity: T-Mobile matches its own annual electrical usage with renewable energy from a portfolio of sources including: virtual power purchase agreements, a green direct program, renewable retail agreements, community solar agreements, and unbundled REC purchases.

• Expanding carbon capture for waste-to-energy: SLB Capturi received a contract award for the engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) to deliver the carbon capture solution at Hafslund Celsio’s waste-to-energy facility in Oslo. This second Longship plant will utilize SLB Capturi’s modular Just Catch 400 unit designed to capture 350,000 metric tons of CO₂ annually.
• De-risking carbon capture for the pulp and paper industry in North America: Validated SLB Capturi’s liquid amine carbon capture technology for the pulp and paper sector, clearing the way for commercial-scale carbon removal projects in collaboration with CO280.

Comprehensive lifecycle support and global reach

“SLB Capturi’s modular carbon capture technology combined with SLB’s global footprint and deep expertise in technology industrialization, deployment and operations continue to accelerate the deployment of next-generation carbon capture solutions across industries and regions,” said Katherine Rojas, senior vice president of Industrial Decarbonization, SLB. “Our achievements are important use cases for industrial decarbonization and provide a clear pathway for hard-to-abate sectors to achieve practical, scalable and cost-effective emissions reductions.”

SLB Capturi supports customers across the entire carbon capture plant lifecycle, from early-stage pre-qualification and feasibility studies through to front-end engineering and design (FEED) and all phases of engineering, procurement, construction, installation, and commissioning (EPCIC). In its first year, SLB Capturi secured more than 25 new feasibility studies and pre-FEEDs, as well as eight FEEDs, spanning sectors such as waste-to-energy, biomass, metals and minerals, pulp and paper, cement, lime, and gas-to-power projects across the U.S. and Europe. The team has continuously expanded its capacity to engage with strategic partners to de-risk carbon capture technology and increase maturity in projects to accelerate final investment decisions (FID).

Industry leadership and vision for the future

As CCUS projects continue to advance and proliferate in Europe and North America, SLB Capturi is actively expanding through new opportunities that support industrial decarbonization initiatives in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.

“Momentum for industrial decarbonization continues to build as more and more CCUS projects demonstrate the compatibility of emissions reduction and industrial competitiveness,” Rojas added. “SLB Capturi’s technical expertise enables us to evaluate and accelerate modular carbon capture technologies that deliver value for customers and meet the diverse needs of a wide range of industries. We are leading the way to a future where carbon capture-ready projects are a reality, realizing growth from decarbonized power to decarbonized commodities globally.”

SLB Capturi — a leading provider of carbon capture technology for industrial sectors — celebrates its first anniversary this month. Since its inception, SLB Capturi has fast-tracked technology development, expanded its geographic reach and demonstrated its ability to scale proven carbon capture solutions globally and across industries.

Major project milestones advance carbon capture

SLB Capturi’s standardized modular and scalable carbon capture technology is enabling industries to decarbonize operations and deliver on their business and climate goals. In the past year, the company has achieved key milestones in several high-profile projects, underscoring the commercial viability and scalability of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS):

• Pioneering full-scale carbon capture in cement: In Brevik, Norway, SLB Capturi completed the world’s first full-scale carbon capture plant at a cement facility, enabling Heidelberg Materials to produce net-zero cement by capturing up to 400,000 metric tons of CO₂ annually. The plant is part of the Longship project, Europe’s first complete value chain for carbon capture and storage (CCS), and has been operational since June 2025.
• Completing the carbon capture value chain: SLB Capturi delivered and handed over a modular Just Catch™ carbon capture plant at Twence’s waste-to-energy facility in Hengelo, Netherlands. With a capture capacity of 100,000 metric tons of CO₂ per year, this project is advancing circular carbon solutions for the horticulture and food sectors, supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy.
• Advancing carbon capture in bioenergy: Five modular Just Catch plants are under construction for Ørsted’s bioenergy facilities in Kalundborg, Denmark. Designed to capture up to 500,000 metric tons of CO₂ annually, these units are a critical component of Denmark’s first full-scale CCS value chain, enabling large-scale negative emissions from bioenergy.
• Expanding carbon capture for waste-to-energy: SLB Capturi received a contract award for the engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) to deliver the carbon capture solution at Hafslund Celsio’s waste-to-energy facility in Oslo. This second Longship plant will utilize SLB Capturi’s modular Just Catch 400 unit designed to capture 350,000 metric tons of CO₂ annually.
• De-risking carbon capture for the pulp and paper industry in North America: Validated SLB Capturi’s liquid amine carbon capture technology for the pulp and paper sector, clearing the way for commercial-scale carbon removal projects in collaboration with CO280.
