The following is an excerpt from Southwire’s 2024 Sustainability Report. To read the full report, click here. 

As a family-owned business, we are always considering how to position future generations for success. Much of the answer lies in operating sustainably; we prioritize efficiency, strive to act as stewards of the natural resources we use and take intentional steps to reduce our climate impacts.

In 2024, we deployed our new Sustainability Playbook across all of Southwire’s facilities, guiding our teams on sustainability fundamentals, including key culture, technology and programmatic initiatives. Supported by local Sustainability Champions, each site will implement universal initiatives from the playbook within the next few years. To upskill our teams, we implemented customized sustainability training to Southwire engineers and developed the curriculum for additional training to come.

Driving Energy Savings

Southwire has embarked on an enterprise-wide journey focused on energy use avoidance, and this was a focal point of our sustainability work in 2024. Building on initiatives launched in 2023, we engaged our largest facilities — covering approximately 67% of Southwire’s energy consumption — in Kaizen events that included detailed assessments, site-specific training and energy treasure hunts. This enabled sites to implement customized energy roadmaps to guide their efforts in the coming years.

Leveraging Renewables

In addition to making our operations more energy efficient, we continue to invest in renewable energy sources to power our sites. In 2024, we signed a contract to install a new solar system at Southwire’s North Campus in Carrollton, Georgia, that we expect to be completed in late 2025 or early 2026. This builds on similar projects in recent years, including our contract with the Carroll Electric Membership Cooperative utility to provide our Carrollton Southwire Continuous Rod (SCR®) plant with 100% renewable electricity. Southwire has also contracted with Constellation Energy to provide environmental attributes in the form of Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) associated with the Texas-based Rayos del Sol solar installation, and we are under contract with Georgia Power for a renewable energy supply program that commenced in 2025.

Meanwhile, we installed solar-powered EV charging systems at our Carrollton Corporate Headquarters and distribution center in Fontana, California. Unlike standard EV charging stations that are connected to the electrical grid, these stand-alone units use an integrated solar panel and battery, along with two charge ports. That makes the systems more flexible, as the units can be relocated if needed. The project is currently in the pilot phase as we explore whether these off-grid systems can meet our charging requirements. If it is successful, it will support our aspiration to bring more EV charging stations to our manufacturing plants, distribution centers and large offices in the next several years.

DALLAS, August 11, 2025 /3BL/ – The Mary Kay Ash Foundation® is proud to announce a powerful new chapter in its decades-long mission to end domestic violence through a renewed partnership with The National Domestic Violence Hotline (The Hotline)—the nation’s leading resource for survivors and those seeking to support them. Together, they will launch a nationwide initiative focused on trauma-informed education, community engagement, and life-saving tools to help individuals recognize and respond to domestic abuse.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 3 women in the U.S. will experience domestic violence in their lifetime¹, yet many still don’t know where to turn for help. This collaboration directly addresses that gap.

“Domestic violence has no place in our homes, workplaces, or communities, and yet it affects every zip code, every income bracket, and far too many lives,” said Michael Lunceford, President of the Mary Kay Ash Foundation® Board of Directors. “This partnership is about more than raising awareness. It’s about equipping people with the knowledge, confidence, and tools to act—honouring Mary Kay Ash’s vision of a world where all women feel safe, supported, and heard.”

The $70,000 grant from the Mary Kay Ash Foundation® will support the development of a comprehensive suite of co-branded, public service materials available free of charge:

• Three webinar trainings led by The Hotline’s highly trained, expert education team.
• A six-part educational video series on key topics including trauma-informed communication, safety planning, and how to support someone experiencing abuse.
• Downloadable toolkits and conversation guides designed for easy sharing online, in the workplace, and at community gatherings.

As the only national, 24/7 hotline dedicated to domestic violence survivors and support systems, The Hotline has fielded over 7.5 million contacts since 1996². Their deep expertise in survivor-centric care, advocacy, and culturally responsive training makes them a natural partner for the Mary Kay Ash Foundation’s mission of creating a safer world for women and their families.

“This collaboration comes at a time when survivors need connection more than ever,” said Katie Ray-Jones, CEO of The National Domestic Violence Hotline. “The Mary Kay Ash Foundation’s unwavering support allows friends, family members, even co-workers to meet people where they are—with empathy, resources, and life-saving information. Together, we’re helping individuals and communities lean into difficult conversations with compassion and strength.”

The initiative officially launches this August with a series of three live virtual training sessions, open to the public and facilitated by The Hotline. Topics will include recognizing abuse, building trauma-informed communication skills, and creating survivor-informed communities of care.

To learn more about the initiative or access domestic violence support materials, the full suite of resources will be housed on the Mary Kay Ash Foundation website and promoted through its social media platforms. Follow along on Facebook and Instagram.

The way we work has changed. Offices now stretch from skyscrapers to spare bedrooms, and employee well-being is no longer just a nice-to-have experience, it’s a business essential.

But let’s be honest: it’s easy to overlook comfort when your “office” is your kitchen table. As hybrid and remote models become the norm, creating environments that support physical comfort and mental wellness is key. That’s where smart ergonomics and the WELL Building Standard™ come in, not as extras, but as essentials.

Together, they offer a roadmap to healthier, more engaged, and more productive teams.

Ergonomics Isn’t Just About Chairs

Bad posture, poor lighting, and awkward setups, whether in the office or at home, can quickly lead to aches, strain, and burnout. And that hurts more than just your back. Productivity drops, engagement dips, and health costs rise. For example, research shows that poor ergonomics can reduce productivity by up to 40%, while proper ergonomic interventions can cut workers’ compensation claims by 58%.

A few quick fixes won’t cut it anymore. This means going beyond merely providing furniture; it requires training, clear guidance, and a commitment to keeping all employees protected, comfortable, and productive, wherever they work.

Today’s hybrid work reality needs flexible, proactive ergonomic support, for everyone, everywhere.

Enter: The WELL Building Standard

What if your building could actually make people feel better?

That’s the idea behind the WELL Building Standard™, a globally recognized system that helps organizations create spaces designed to improve human health and well-being.

WELL looks at the full picture of how a space affects the people inside it. That includes:

• Air quality and ventilation
• Lighting that supports natural rhythms
• Thermal comfort (because no one does their best work when they’re freezing)
• Noise control, clean materials, water quality, and more
• Even mental health, community, and movement — it’s all connected

It’s backed by science, designed to be flexible, and focused on people, whether you’re designing a new space, upgrading an existing one, or just trying to better support hybrid teams.

WELL certification comes in tiers: Silver (meeting core health and wellness features), Gold (demonstrating enhanced performance), and Platinum (achieving the highest level of human health and wellness benefits), but even starting the process shows employees you’re serious about their health and comfort. And with options like the WELL Health-Safety Rating, you can focus on key operational strategies around cleanliness, emergency preparedness, and building trust, without a full design overhaul.

Real Results: Some large global companies have reported that WELL-certified buildings led to 6% higher cognitive function scores and 16% better sleep quality among employees.

Curious how WELL Certification could give your company an edge in attracting top talent?
Explore this scenario that brings the benefits of WELL to life.

Combining WELL-aligned workspaces and ergonomics support leads to a workplace that feels good to be in and one that stands out in a competitive market.

Where Ergonomics and WELL Work Together

Here’s the best part: WELL and ergonomics aren’t separate strategies — they’re complementary. In fact, WELL includes specific features focused on ergonomic furniture and practices.

Ergonomics is about physical comfort, reducing strain, and improving posture and productivity. WELL adds layers like air quality, lighting, noise control, and mental health support, all of which directly impact how people feel at work.

Together, they reinforce each other. When ergonomic design is paired with WELL-aligned spaces, people experience less fatigue, more focus, and greater job satisfaction. And when employees feel good, they do better work.

Real Results: The Benefits of WELL + Ergo Speak for Themselves

Combining WELL strategies and ergonomic support isn’t just about doing the right thing, it’s about measurable business outcomes. For example:

• Fewer injuries: Think fewer neck, back, and wrist complaints.
• Better focus: Comfort + good air + smart lighting = clearer thinking.
• Happier teams: People feel valued, and they stick around.

Bringing it to Life: What You Can Do Now

Ready to start? Here are three practical steps to bring ergonomics and WELL principles into your workplace:

1. Offer comprehensive ergonomics checks for both home and office setups: don’t assume a one-size-fits-all solution works. Personalize support to help employees stay safe and comfortable wherever they work.
2. Design with WELL in mind: natural light, quiet zones, thermal comfort, greenery, improved air filtration.
3. Promote healthy habits through structured programs: encourage movement breaks every hour, provide hydration reminders, and create dedicated spaces for mental breaks and meditation.

The Bottom Line: People-First Workplaces Win

If you want a healthier, more productive workforce, it’s time to think beyond the desk. Combine ergonomics with WELL principles and build work environments that support your people, wherever they are, so they feel safe and empowered to do their best work.

Your employees will thank you. And your bottom line will too.

On July 24, more than 100 FedEx interns and team members gathered in Memphis to participate in a meaningful day of service—packing 10,000 snack packs for U.S. troops being deployed or stationed around the world. This hands-on event was part of the Intern FedEx Cares initiative and was hosted in collaboration with the United Service Organizations (USO), a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening America’s military service members by keeping them connected to family, home, and country throughout their service.

The snack packs—carefully filled with familiar comforts like M&Ms, granola bars, Prime hydration packs, and other treats—were designed to bring a small but powerful reminder of home to those currently or about to be deployed. FedEx interns worked alongside team members and FedEx Military Fellows to assemble each pack with care, knowing that their efforts would directly reach service members already deployed, or as they boarded buses and planes for deployment.

The atmosphere was filled with both energy and purpose as interns lined tables, passed down items, and sealed each kit. Intern Yuyu Yang described the event as “a fun and heartwarming experience,” sharing that “it was incredible to see so many people come together with great energy, dancing, smiling, and assembling snack packs with care.”

Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh, FedEx interns turned their focus to local children in need by volunteering at Light of Life Rescue Mission, a nonprofit that serves individuals and families experiencing homelessness. In collaboration with Feed the Children, interns packed 150 brand-new backpacks filled with school supplies, hygiene items, and nutritious snacks as part of a Backpack-N-Go event sponsored by FedEx. Each backpack was prepared with care to ensure children had the essentials they need to start the school year with confidence—everything from notebooks and pencils to toothbrushes, applesauce, and juice. The items were destined for children in Light of Life’s programs, including their foster care outreach.

Intern Jummie Agboola shared, “It was a simple act, but one that carries deep impact by giving a child somewhere a reason to smile, even if we may never meet them or know their name.” Her words captured the spirit of the day—a small moment of service with lasting meaning.

To expand the reach of this initiative even further, some interns participated virtually in volunteer events hosted over Zoom. One virtual session supported Ronald McDonald House Charities, where interns recorded audiobooks for hospitalized children. After a brief kickoff, participants broke into small groups to read and record a variety of classic children’s stories.

The goal was to bring a little joy and comfort to young patients through the power of storytelling. Interns selected familiar favorites like “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” and “The Giving Tree,” creating audio versions that could be played for children spending time in hospitals—some of whom may not have family nearby or may be facing long recovery journeys.

Intern Ajay Adhithiya Ohm Nathan reflected on the experience, sharing, “Service like this means a lot to me. Although I may never get to see the children that are going to listen to these audios, I still feel good knowing I had a positive impact for them.” The event demonstrated how small, thoughtful acts can connect us with others in deeply meaningful ways—no matter where we’re located.

Across every location—on the ground or online—FedEx interns embraced the opportunity to serve, reflect, and connect. These events were more than service projects; they were moments of unity, empathy, and purpose. Interns weren’t just learning about corporate values—they were living them. And for this summer’s intern cohort, that spirit of service will stick with them long after their internships end.

Written by Casie Cottrell, FedEx Marketing & Communications Intern—Originally from Lebanon, TN, Casie is a senior at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and a summer intern on the FedEx Brand Experience team. Reflecting on her time at FedEx, she shared, “I was really drawn to FedEx because of the strong sense of culture and how they truly prioritize people in the workplace and the community. Events like these really remind you how meaningful it is to come together and make a positive impact right where you are.”

Casie Cottrell, a senior at UT Knoxville and FedEx intern, said, “FedEx’s commitment to its people really stood out to me. Experiences like this highlight how meaningful it is to give back as a team.”

The relationships we have with the companies and individuals we work with across our entire value and supply chain are important and viewed as an essential part of our success. Our Supplier Code of Conduct (Supplier Code) and Human Rights Policy outline the expectations we have of our suppliers and contractors. As part of our standard contract terms and operating procedures, key contractors in our timberlands and wood products facilities are provided with our Supplier Code and asked to verify that they have read and comply with its components. In addition, we provide training to these contractors on the Supplier Code.

Healthy sustainable timberlands play a vital role in our business and in the quality of life for the communities in which we operate. We expect those who work with us to follow and implement all forestry regulations and best management practices including water quality, wildlife, and biodiversity. Timberland and real estate suppliers must comply with all federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations and any best management practices adopted by PotlatchDeltic to prevent environmental incidents. At our wood products facilities, suppliers and contractors must follow all laws and support our commitment to reduce air emissions, water use, energy use, and waste. Contractors and suppliers and their employees have the right to report environmental compliance concerns on PotlatchDeltic premises by reporting them to local management or by using the Hotline.

We expect those we work with to respect and promote human rights and to be ethical in their relationships with their workers, including migrant workers. Harassment and abusive behavior of all kinds is prohibited. We expect our supply chain to comply with laws regarding working hours and wages, child labor, and the prohibition of forced labor. The safety and health of our Team Members and contractors is a core value in our work environments, achieved through a commitment at all levels.

PotlatchDeltic takes our governance principles seriously to ensure that we run our business in an ethical and transparent manner, and we expect the same from our suppliers and contractors. Company assets and information as well as other confidential information accessed must be protected. Suppliers and contractors must not impair nor appear to impair business integrity and, therefore, they must not offer bribes, kickbacks, or other improper payments to secure or retain business or favored business treatment. PotlatchDeltic expects all those we work with to comply with all applicable anti-corruption and antitrust laws.

TIMBERLAND AND WOOD PRODUCTS CONTRACTORS

The logging companies that work in our timberlands are often run by individuals with decades of experience working in forests, with significant investment in equipment to handle different types of terrain, weather, and differing log sizes. These crews have expertise in understanding harvest prescriptions and best management practices, including protecting streamside management zones and water crossings, and minimizing soil disturbance. Harvest operators also need to be skilled in merchandising, which requires separating logs for different markets based on species, quality, and size.

Suppliers or contractors are also retained for growing or providing seedlings from a nursery, reforestation, silviculture work after the harvest, and managing insects and disease. Planting crews are a critical part of our supply chain, keeping the crucial cycle of harvesting, regeneration, and forest planning intact. Much of this work is done by migrant workers, employed by silviculture contractors under H-2B visa programs, who return year after year to plant seedlings either by hand or by machine, depending on soil type and terrain.

Contractors and subcontractors working in our timberlands must be on our approved contractor list and our foresters track their environmental and safety performance. Where improvements need to be made, we work with them on continual improvement practices. They are trained annually on a wide range of measures including forestry best management practices, threatened and endangered species, and safety policies. To continue working with us, timberland contractors and suppliers must demonstrate good safety records, have current training, and maintain all required insurance.

At our wood products facilities, contractors perform a wide range of work including hauling logs from the woods to the mills, performing environmental testing, maintenance work, and other services, providing supplies, transporting wood residuals to other end-users and capital project. In addition, the range of high technology equipment in a sawmill that maximizes efficiency, productivity, and resources often requires expert maintenance.

The contractors working on-site at our wood products facilities are pre-cleared through an online compliance management system. Contractor and supplier information and requirements are tracked online based on specific criteria we have established, including maintenance of minimum insurance levels and acceptable safety performance. Contractors are regularly monitored and evaluated for their health and safety performance. All contractors working at our facilities must receive training before being cleared to work at our sites. This orientation session includes health and safety training and training on emergency procedures.

The contractors we work with typically live in nearby communities, often where they, along with PotlatchDeltic, are a key economic contributor. They also often participate in these communities through charitable work and volunteering. Being a good corporate citizen is made up of the choices we make every day, and we want to work with others who operate the same way.

Starting a new chapter is exciting, but changes can come with challenges. Supplemental insurance coverage offers the opportunity to meet many of those challenges with confidence. From getting married to buying a new home, supplemental insurance helps ensure the special people in these special moments —have added protection.

Here are a few important chapters that should come with some extra assurance.

Turning 26: Happy birthday! Turning 26 means being old enough to vote, rent a car and be removed from a parent’s insurance policy. Adulting might seem intimidating, but supplemental insurance can add some security to newfound independence.

Getting married: Congratulations! A wedding is a beautiful event, though a marriage license isn’t the only paperwork required. Adding a new spouse to supplemental insurance coverage is an important step in making sure both people have added protection. The new mister or missus must also fill out a continuous coverage verification form.

Planning a family: There’s plenty to check off the list when bringing a new baby home — a crib, cute clothes and tons of diapers. But there’s an important item that needs to be crossed off before the baby is even on the way, and that’s supplemental insurance. Coverage can help provide financial security to protect a growing family.

A new job: Starting a new job means meeting new coworkers and figuring out where to find the breakroom. One way to make the transition easier is to bring along current supplemental insurance coverage. That’s where portable policies come into play, which can follow a new employee to their next opportunity.

Traveling: Lost luggage or a delayed flight are common frustrations for the average jetsetter, but it’s also important to keep bigger concerns in mind. For example, accident insurance still helps to provide protection while traveling, so qualifying medical expenses incurred away from home are covered.

Life has plenty of plot twists, and Aflac can be there for its customers through each and every one. Visit Aflac.com to learn more and apply for extra protection.

DENTON, Texas, August 7, 2025 /3BL/ – Today, Tetra Pak U.S. and Canada launches its local supplement to complement Tetra Pak’s 26th Sustainability Report, which tracks the progress the company has made against its global sustainability agenda. It focuses on five interdependent areas: food systems, circularity, climate, nature and social sustainability.

The company’s global full-year 2024 Sustainability Report highlights a 25% reduction² of greenhouse gas emissions across its value chain since 2019, marking a further five- percentage-point improvement since 2023. Within its own operations, the company has achieved a 54% reduction³ in GHG emissions since 2019 and reports 94% renewable energy consumption in its own operations, keeping the company on track to achieve net-zero GHG emissions in its own operations by 2030.⁴ Moreover, these environmental achievements go hand in hand with the company’s continuous efforts to improve livelihoods and strengthen economies through the delivery of safe food everywhere.

“Our resolute commitment to sustainability remains our North Star,” said Seth Teply, president and CEO, Tetra Pak U.S. and Canada. “It’s in that commitment where our true purpose lies. We commit to making food safe and available, everywhere, and we promise to protect what’s good for food, people and the planet.”

Accompanying the organization’s global report, originally released on June 5, is a supplement highlighting achievements in the U.S. and Canada during the same time period.

A sampling of achievements featured in the supplement include:

• An expansion at Tetra Pak’s Denton, Texas, converting factory increased its production capacity to 9.6 billion packs annually. This demonstrates the company’s commitment to grow its facilities to meet demand for high-quality packaging.
• A continued expansion of end markets for carton recycling. Together with Carton Council, Tetra Pak announced UPFACTORY California, a new recycling facility that is expected to recycle 1.5 million pounds of carton material every month, turning it into sustainable building materials.
• The launch of Tetra Pak^® Direct UHT in the U.S. and Canada to maximize process efficiency and flexibility while reducing energy and water usage. Compared with the Tetra Therm^® Aseptic VTIS, it can save about 6% of the fresh water needed during production.
• The continued contribution to the vibrancy of Tetra Pak’s community through local events, its Core Wellbeing employee wellness program and ElevateHER, Tetra Pak’s employee resource group to support and connect women in the workplace.
