We are proud to announce that our Jáltipan plant has been selected as a recipient of the Veracruz State Quality Award, granted by SEDECOP. This award represents the highest recognition from the Government of Veracruz for organizations that demonstrate excellence in quality management, continuous improvement, competitiveness, and customer-focused processes.

This achievement reflects Jaltipan’s operational excellence and strong commitment to social and environmental responsibility, all of which were essential factors in earning this award. Through collaborative efforts, the plant is creating meaningful change by strengthening communities and restoring ecosystems. Highlights of these initiatives include:

• Partnering with the Gulf of Mexico Fund to restore nearly 200 acres of land along the lower Coatzacoalcos River, working closely with NGOs like Sembrando Semilla Sagrada AC to provide training and seeds for community nurseries that promote biodiversity. This collaboration resulted in the planting of 50,000 plants along riverbanks and streams, benefiting 40 families and engaging 30 volunteers in the effort.
• Supporting over 1,400 organizations through projects such as painting and beautifying schools and gardens and celebrating the first graduation at Covia’s Jáltipan Primary School.
• Other efforts included improving infrastructure and water access by repairing streets, sewer systems, and reinforcing drinking water networks with containers and pipes. Additionally, Covia provided support to local police and other emergency services.

The awards ceremony took place on December 5, marking a historic moment for our team. Carlos Gomez, Executive Vice President, Mexico, shared: “This achievement is a proud moment for our team, highlighting the discipline, commitment to our customers, and teamwork that define Jáltipan. It reflects Covia’s dedication to quality, environment, safety, and performance, and our drive to adopt best practices that meet the highest standards.”

It also comes at a historic time— Jáltipan celebrated its 70th anniversary earlier this year, which was the perfect opportunity to recognize the plant’s successes over the years as well as its legacy of safety as the foundation of everything we do, supported by teamwork and driven by innovation.

We extend a special congratulations to Baldemar Salinas, VP of Operations & Mexico, and Francisco Mayo, Jáltipan Plant Manager, for their exceptional leadership in earning this award. We also congratulate the entire Jáltipan team for setting the bar high and making this achievement possible!

Families and businesses have been rebuilding since severe wildfires devasted the Greater Los Angeles area in January 2025.

Immediately following the disaster, Wells Fargo supported organizations on the ground. However, more needs to be done. Customers, employees, and communities still need more resources to support their long-term recovery and to help them become more resilient to future disruptions.

That’s why the Wells Fargo Foundation has upped its initial $2 million in grants to relief organizations to $5 million, broadening support to homeowners and the small business community. These additional grants are helping families return home, and they’ve helped businesses reopen so they can continue to serve their communities.

“The Wells Fargo Foundation has been there from day one, immediately asking how they could help and what more they could do,” said Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, whose district includes communities like Altadena that were impacted by the recent Los Angeles Wildfires. “This is what community looks like — showing up and standing with us when we need it most.”

Helping Los Angeles families return home

Thousands of wildfire survivors lost their homes during the Eaton and Palisades wildfires. For the past year, these families have planned their next steps to return home, but interim housing resources are set to end for many people.

The nonprofit LA4LA recently unveiled a housing showcase of modular and prefab homes to give much-needed and timely paths forward to wildfire survivors, many of whom are dependent on rental assistance via their homeowner’s insurance that may expire soon.

“Having access to an affordable place to live is a priority for Wells Fargo because every community needs housing to thrive,” said Darlene Goins, president of the Wells Fargo Foundation. “We’re proud to support this showcase to bring together innovative housing solutions and critical recovery resources to help give wildfire survivors more options to return home.”

Homeowners can use LA4LA’s prefabricated and modular housing options as a replacement for their single-family home or as an accessory dwelling unit, or ADU, on their property while rebuilding their house. The showcase also featured financing options, also supported with Wells Fargo Foundation grants, and onsite case management.

Supporting local businesses affected by wildfires

Nowhere is the resilience of Los Angeles entrepreneurs more visible than Mariposa Junction.

This commercial corridor in Altadena was devastated by the Eaton Fires, destroying the storefronts of small businesses like Café de Leche and Amara Kitchen. Now, part of the block is reopening with five businesses to kick off the holiday shopping season, a crucial time for affected small businesses, with the help of a Wells Fargo Foundation grant to Pasadena City College Small Business Development Center.

“Following the Eaton Fire, we saw incredible resilience from the business owners of Mariposa Junction, but we knew they would face a long road to recovery,” said Donald Loewel, director of the Pasadena City College Small Business Development Center.

Wells Fargo also hosted the Build to Thrive Summit, a free event in Pasadena that saw more than 100 small business owners and community leaders building connections and learning practical ways to grow their business. They gained access to entrepreneurial coaching, resilience planning resources, and support in securing financing to grow, repair, or relaunch their business.

Boosting wildfire relief in Los Angeles

The $5 million in support for wildfire rebuilding included these organizations:

• The American Red Cross
• The California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Recovery Fund
• The Pasadena Community Foundation’s Eaton Canyon Fire Relief and Recovery Fund
• The Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation
• The Southern California Grantmakers’ LA Region Small Business and Worker Relief Funds
• LA4LA
• San Gabriel Valley Habitat for Humanity
• Neighborhood Housing Services of LA County
• Pasadena City College Small Business Development Center

Wells Fargo also provides ongoing support to the American Red Cross’ Annual Disaster Program and Team Rubicon’s Ready Reserve Fund. Wells Fargo employees affected by the wildfires were able to get help via We Care Fund, which supports colleagues facing sudden, unforeseen financial hardships.

For Los Angeles-area residents and businesses in need of help rebuilding their finances following the wildfires, Wells Fargo also partnered with Operation HOPE to bring free disaster recovery credit and money management coaching to affected areas across the city. Business owners can work with a financial coach on FEMA applications, Small Business Administration (SBA) loans, insurance claims, working with creditors, building a recovery budget, and more. See Operation HOPE Inside Disaster to learn more.

In a recent episode of The Bridge, Military Family Advisory Network (MFAN) CEO Shannon Razsadin spoke with Leidos Health & Civil Sector President Liz Porter about the challenges military families face—and how technology and empathy can help strengthen military family well-being. 

Drawing on her experience as both a corporate leader and retired military spouse, Porter discussed how innovation and public-private partnerships are advancing solutions that enhance military family readiness, resilience, and quality of life.

Porter and Razsadin explored several pressing challenges for military families today:

• Accessing resources: Support exists but navigating it can feel like “a labyrinth.” Porter said improving care coordination and navigation—enhanced by tools like telehealth—can help individuals move more smoothly through each stage of their care journey, from identifying needs to accessing timely, specialized support.
   
• Mental health stigma: Awareness is growing, but stigma still discourages many from seeking help. Expanded access to behavioral health and telehealth services can create more approachable entry points – offering private, flexible ways to begin care, stay engaged, and sustain progress toward recovery.
   
• Spouse employment: With military spouse unemployment around 20%, according to 2024 Department of Defense data, Porter called on employers to embrace flexibility and remote work. “Military spouses are an untapped resource,” she said. “They’re resilient, resourceful, and ready to contribute.”

NORTHAMPTON, Mass., December 10, 2025 /3BL/ – Companies doing sustainability well are seeing measurable returns.

The gap between what research shows and what business leaders actually do is stark. Companies that integrate sustainability well achieve substantial financial gains:

• 36% increase in firm value
• 21% boosts in profitability
• 57% reduction in employee turnover

Yet many organizations remain skeptical. Steve Rocklin, founder and CEO of Impact ROI and lead author of the Project ROI Report series, has watched this skepticism persist for decades:

“I’ve been in the field for almost thirty years, and it’s sort of like back to the future for me because we’re hearing the same debate that I entered the field with. The argument goes: the business of business is business. Sustainability is not conventional business. It’s either taxation or regulation under a different name. And by definition, it does not create financial value.”

The data contradicts this narrative entirely.

What This Means Right Now

In today’s economic environment, companies face a critical choice: double down on sustainability as a competitive advantage, or cut back to preserve margins.

Most are cutting. Most are wrong.

The best financially performing companies actually lean into environmental and social performance during downturns, not away from it. They do this when facing huge competition and needing to differentiate. When the business cycle goes down and they need to climb back up, they lean in.

Why? Sustainability investments drive brand differentiation, employee retention, and stakeholder trust.

For years, the conversation around sustainability has revolved around ambition.

We’ve talked about goals, commitments, and net zero promises by pending timelines. But ambition alone doesn’t cut it anymore; not for brands, not for manufacturers, and certainly not for the planet.

The real shift now underway is about measurement. Because what we measure, and how, is what drives real progress.

From Afterthought to Engine

Measurement has often been treated as the last step in the process: collect the data, report the results, and move on. But in truth, it should be the first. When you start with measurement — with visibility and credible data — you create the foundation for meaningful change.

That’s why the latest update to the Higg Facility Environmental Module (Higg FEM) matters. Released by Cascale earlier this month, the 2025 version introduces sharper emission factors, improved verification guidance, and new facility categories. It’s more than a technical update — it’s a reflection of where the industry needs to go: better data, better insights, better decisions.

The Regulatory Shift

Meanwhile, policy frameworks like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) are tightening expectations across the apparel and consumer goods sectors. They’re not just about ticking boxes; they’re about showing impact.

Soon, large brands operating in the EU will need to prove how they’re managing risks, engaging suppliers, and cutting emissions, with data that stands up to scrutiny. And that means upstream manufacturers and suppliers will need to be part of that proof chain.

The question isn’t whether our industry will have to measure and report on progress. It’s whether we’ll measure well enough to turn the need for compliance into strategic outcomes that drive business value.

Aligning Data with Action

This is where the conversation gets interesting. Because if we can continue to align measurement tools like the Higg Index with regulatory readiness, we move from compliance to competitiveness. (Read about our efforts to map the Higg BRM with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), as another strong indication).

The 2030 vision is closer than we realize. Instead of an industry scrambling to meet disclosure deadlines, we can become one that utilizes credible data to drive smarter sourcing, targeted investment, and collaborative action. While it’s not always glamorous work, it’s the kind of work that builds resilience — in companies, in supply chains, and in the industry as a whole. Isn’t that a goal that benefits us all?

A Communications Perspective

From where I sit — leading marketing and communications at Cascale — an integral part involves storytelling through data. For too long, sustainability communication has leaned on grand ambition. Now it’s time to tell the story of progress: how we measure, how we improve, and how we make it meaningful.

The more transparent we are about the process, the more credible and impactful the message becomes.

Looking Ahead

At Cascale, our role is evolving with the industry. We’re not just providing tools. We’re helping brands and manufacturers connect the dots between measurement, regulation, and action. Because when measurement becomes the engine, and not the afterthought, sustainability stops being a side project and starts becoming business as usual.

Traditional remediation methods have long focused on quick fixes like digging, dumping, and moving contamination elsewhere, but as environmental challenges grow and climate resilience, carbon footprint reduction, and long-term site stewardship become a priority, sustainable remediation is emerging as a smarter, more holistic approach to environmental remediation. In this Q&A, we hear from Jason Lagowski, Senior Consultant at Antea Group USA; and Gabriele Cerutti, Technology Leader Geologist at HPC Italy, to explore why sustainable remediation matters, what hurdles remain, and how collaboration and innovation are shaping the future of soil and groundwater cleanup.

 

Listen to the full podcast episode here.

 

Q&A

Q: Why is it so important to prioritize sustainable remediation practices? 

Gabriele (Italy):

Water and soil pollution is increasing dramatically and causes damage to the entire community. Many traditional technologies aim for quick intervention but often shift the problem or fail to fully consider recovery of environmental metrics. Modern sustainable remediation practices help reduce energy use, minimize waste, and support circularity across the project lifecycle. Sustainable remediation seeks to reduce consumption and enhance environmental metrics throughout the process. Every step of the project should achieve sustainable objectives.

Jason (USA):

We live on this planet, and personally, I’m a parent and a grandparent. I hope we’re smart enough to improve the environment for future generations. Doing it in a sustainable way just makes sense. It’s about improving outcomes, reducing long-term liability, and avoiding the “dig-and-dump” cycle that simply relocates contamination. It’s about better outcomes and improving quality of life, not moving a problem from one place to another.

 

Q: How do you define sustainable remediation, and how does it differ across regions?

Jason:

Sustainable remediation looks at reducing carbon footprint and using more passive, natural approaches—like in-situ methods and green chemistry to degrade contaminants in place. It’s about lifecycle cost and aiming for zero waste outcomes. In the U.S., there’s still reluctance because sustainable approaches can take longer, and there’s a myth they cost more. Education and data-driven decision-making are key to accelerating adoption.

Gabriele:

In Europe, especially Italy, traditional methods persist in industrial areas, but sustainable remediation is gaining ground in agricultural and public green sites. We see progress in codifying environmental and technical criteria for land recovery using biological technologies. Drivers include cost and the ability to reuse soil without transformation.

 

Q: What’s the cost of inaction if organizations don’t adopt sustainable methods?

Jason:

In the U.S., we have a concept called cradle-to-grave. If you dig something up and move it, your liability doesn’t stop. It can follow you. Treating contamination in place extinguishes liability once endpoints are achieved. Plus, sustainable approaches reduce long-term risk.

Gabriele:

The cost is carbon emissions and loss of soil conservation. We should move as far as possible from carbon-consuming interventions. Nature often gives us the solution, we just need to understand it.

 

Q: Are there emerging technologies we should watch?

Gabriele:

Phytoremediation is becoming one of the best solutions for certain sites, especially agricultural areas. It’s not without challenges, but it’s promising.

Jason:

Advancements in bacteria strains and fungi for bioremediation are exciting. For PFAS, we’re seeing linked technologies—separation, concentration, and destruction—that achieve zero waste outcomes. Innovation will continue to drive progress.

 

Key Takeaways

• Sustainable remediation reduces carbon footprint, protects human health and the environment, and supports circularity.
• Education and mindset shifts are critical to overcoming cultural and regulatory hurdles.
• Collaboration between stakeholders, universities, and global partners drives innovation.
• Emerging technologies like phytoremediation and PFAS destruction carry new potential.

Wesco Anixter, in collaboration with the National Girls Collaborative Project (NGCP), proudly launched its Global Philanthropic Event Series this November, empowering young people across the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. to explore the world of STEM. This initiative was made possible by Wesco’s VOICE business resource group program in collaboration with the sustainability team who collaborated to design a day focused on exposure to STEM fields that support the local community.

As part of this initiative, Wesco partnered with the Chesterfield FC Community Trust (CFCCT), a selected local charity, to host a special event for young people in Chesterfield, U.K. Fourteen young people visited the Wesco Anixter warehouse site in Bolsover, where they embarked on a behind-the-scenes tour of the facility, engaged with a panel of speakers from Wesco Anixter, and participated in interactive STEM activities. The event also featured a shared lunch, fostering meaningful connections between organisers, panellists and attendees.

The panellists took the time to share insights from their own professional journeys, highlighting the importance of resilience, adaptability, and continuous learning in shaping a successful career. They recounted key moments where overcoming challenges led to personal growth, and offered practical guidance tailored to young people preparing for their own futures. From stressing the value of staying curious and embracing new opportunities, to encouraging attendees to seek out mentors and develop a strong work ethic, the panellists provided inspiration and actionable advice to help students make informed decisions as they consider their future career paths.

Reflecting on the day, Dan Lynch, Wesco Anixter Vice President and General Manager – International Markets (EMEA and APAC) and event panellist, remarked, “It was truly inspiring to witness the enthusiasm and curiosity of the young people as they engaged with our team and explored the possibilities within STEM. The part we play in local community engagement is important and we hope we were part of sparking new ambitions today.”

During the visit, students were introduced to the cutting-edge robots used in the warehouse, learning firsthand about operational efficiencies and the exciting possibilities technology brings to the energy industry. “Our students had the opportunity to visit the warehouse and as I watched their faces throughout the day, they were totally engaged. I hope it’s given them the experience and confidence to really think about the world of work,” said Jayne Bacon, Head of Community at CFCCT. “The team at Wesco Anixter were so supportive and welcoming, showing a true connection with our community”. 

The Global STEM Event Series reflects Wesco’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of STEM leaders by providing youth with unique, hands-on experiences and opening doors to a diverse array of career pathways within their local communities.
