Q&A with Jennifer Duran, Group Head of Sustainability, Kenvue

Q: How is Kenvue’s approach to sustainability evolving following our transformation into a standalone consumer health company?

At Kenvue, we recognize that people’s health is deeply interconnected with the health of our planet. Therefore, as a company singularly focused on consumer health, sustainability becomes a key element of how we do business and serve our Purpose—whether that’s through our products and solutions, including many beloved brands worldwide, or through our work to reduce the impact of our operations and transition our sourcing efforts to be more mindful of the environment. That’s why we’re working cross-functionally to make sustainability part of our processes and built in, not retroactive or bolted on.

Q: What are some of the biggest opportunities where Kenvue can make an impact?

We have tremendous opportunities to partner with our industry to drive impact worldwide, from suppliers to customers as well as consumers. For example, on the ingredients side, we are working with suppliers to fully understand the lifecycle of our raw materials and identify the hotspots where we have the most opportunity for innovation as well as where we may need to build resilience. And through non-competitive industry consortiums such as the EcoBeautyScore, the Forum for the Future’s Climate and Health Coalition, or the Roundtable for Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO), we are using our collective knowledge to increase transparency, drive more responsible sourcing practices, and design more sustainable and resilient systems.

Q: What are some of the challenges you face as you look ahead?

We have the right strategy in place and our goals are set but there is a
lot of work ahead as we balance short-term mitigation with longer-term resilience-building efforts. What’s important is maintaining our focus on our material topics and being thoughtful and strategic about the choices we make in how we manage them. This work is about innovation and identifying opportunities for growth as well as about managing risk and building resiliency in our business and value chain.

Q: What are you most excited about as you think about the work ahead for Kenvue?

I’m excited about the deeper integration of our Healthy Lives Mission within our business strategy and am looking forward to reinforcing the connections between sustainability, growth, innovation, and our commitment to help people realize the extraordinary power of everyday care.

HAMILTON, Bermuda, August 12, 2025 /3BL/ – As part of its 60th anniversary celebrations in Bermuda, family-owned Bacardi has planted 60 native and endemic trees on Trunk Island, the education and conservation center of the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo (BAMZ). The effort was carried out in collaboration with the Bermuda Zoological Society (BZS), reinforcing a longstanding partnership focused on environmental stewardship and habitat restoration.

The initiative, called “60 Trees for 60 Years,” commemorates the company’s six decades in Bermuda, where it established its global headquarters in 1965. First introduced in 1862 by Don Facundo Bacardí Massó, BACARDÍ rum called Santiago de Cuba home for nearly a century, until the family-owned company was forced into exile in 1960 following the Cuban Revolution. Seeking a new home where it could rebuild with stability and opportunity, Bacardi chose Bermuda—a decision that marked the beginning of a new chapter in the company’s remarkable history.

As part of the Bermudian initiative, Bacardi staff members volunteered to plant the trees, contributing directly to improving biodiversity, shade canopy, and long-term conservation outcomes on Trunk Island.

“This initiative is a living tribute to the strong roots Bacardi has planted in Bermuda,” said Douglas Mello, Managing Director of Bacardi in Bermuda. “It reflects not only our gratitude to the community but also our ongoing commitment to protecting the environment and natural beauty of the island we call home.”

The Bacardi relationship with BAMZ and BZS spans over a decade, most notably through its support of the environmental restoration of Trunk Island. The “60 Trees” project builds on that legacy and aligns with the company’s global commitment to invest in its communities to help protect people and planet.

This tree planting marks the first in a series of initiatives taking place throughout the year to honor the company’s milestone anniversary in Bermuda.

In a recent Fast Company article – “AI is helping companies revolutionize the global supply chain” – Glen Clark, DP World’s CEO of US/Mexico and Regional Head of Contract Logistics, explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally reshaping global supply chains. Clark emphasizes that AI-driven analytics provide businesses with unprecedented visibility, allowing them to predict disruptions, optimize logistics routes, and manage resources sustainably and efficiently.

Three Ways AI Transforms Global Supply Chains:

• Predictive capabilities: AI enables proactive responses to supply chain disruptions, significantly reducing delays.
• Operational efficiency: AI streamlines port operations, container movements, and logistics scheduling, leading to improved productivity.
• Sustainability: By optimizing routes, inventory management, and equipment usage, AI significantly reduces emissions and waste, aligning closely with global sustainability goals.

DP World’s AI-Powered Solutions in Action
Building upon Clark’s insights, DP World itself is pioneering innovative AI solutions to further these advancements. The company’s proprietary AI-powered logistics platform, CARGOES TOS+, integrates predictive analytics and automation across its global port and logistics operations. From terminal scheduling at Jebel Ali Port to route optimization in logistics corridors worldwide, DP World demonstrates how AI technology can simultaneously enhance efficiency and sustainability.

Ethical and Sustainable AI for Global Trade
DP World’s approach uniquely combines human expertise and AI technology, ensuring ethical and accountable application, which is critical in building trust across global supply chains. This hybrid strategy ensures that AI solutions not only drive economic value but also uphold DP World’s commitment to environmental stewardship and social responsibility.

A well-cared-for lawn provides numerous environmental benefits. In this 10-part series, explore how lawns can help support a resilient climate and planet.

Benefit #1: Sequestering Carbon

Natural turfgrass is a highly effective carbon sink, playing a crucial role in mitigating climate change. Its extensive leaf surface area surpasses that of many other plants, making it a carbon sequestration powerhouse.

Impressively, a well-nourished lawn can capture twice the amount of carbon from the atmosphere in a single year compared to a tree over a decade.

Mowing high, leaving grass clippings, watering infrequently but deeply, and proper fertilizing are keys to robust root systems and thriving turf that brings these and other benefits. The warm soil and cool air make fall the perfect time to feed and revitalize lawns.

Kim Allman|Head of Corporate Responsibility and Public Policy

At Gen, we’re committed to creating an environment where each person can be heard and valued. Embracing a variety of perspectives fuels our innovation and strengthens us as a team, allowing everyone to continue to learn from each other. June marks LGBTQ+ Pride Month, a time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and progress made in the struggle for equal rights while reflecting on the work still needed to achieve full inclusion.

Since its founding in 2011, the Pride Business Forum (PBF) has collaborated with businesses across Czechia to make their workplaces more supportive for LGBTQ+ people. The organization provides workshops, toolkits and other resources to help companies foster positive corporate cultures as well as policies and programs that work for everyone.

Avast, one of our Cyber Safety brands, has been a member of the Pride Business Forum since 2020. Our support, which includes donations to the PBF Fund, enhances the organization’s work to create safe spaces for LGBTQ+ professionals throughout Czechia, where acceptance of queer individuals remains a challenge.

“Many of us still have to hide in workplaces,” Czeslaw Walek, Chairman of PBF’s Board of Trustees, said at a recent event. “And in small towns, there isn’t always support. We need businesses and communities to stand by us.”

Through our partnership, PBF provides our teams with training sessions led by their in-house experts, consulting hours for Gen HR professionals to ask specific questions and the opportunity to join multiple knowledge-sharing events, including the annual Pride Business Forum Conference.

Our contributions also support PBF’s efforts to elevate LGBTQ+ experiences in Czechia, such as the organization’s live Voices series. This series features stories from professionals across industries who have come out at work and awards for companies leading the charge for LGBTQ+ workplace equality.

In addition to these efforts, we support The Trevor Project and TrevorSpace, the organization’s affirming online community for LGBTQ+ young people. TrevorSpace has welcomed 37,500 new users over the past year, bringing its total number of lifetime users to more than 690,000 in more than 200 countries.

WOODLANDS, Texas, August 12, 2025 /3BL/ – Entergy Texas proudly announces the six recipients of its Power Your Future Scholarship, an initiative that supports students pursuing eligible technology majors at select Historically Black Colleges and Universities and minority-serving institutions across the Gulf South.

“These scholarships do more than support education—they help shape the future workforce that will lead our industry and help power our growing communities,” said Scott Hutchinson, vice president of public affairs for Entergy Texas. “By investing in students today, we’re investing in young leaders who will play a vital role in creating a stronger, more resilient energy future for us all.”

Among this year’s recipients are two Prairie View A&M University students who exemplify resilience, innovation and drive to uplift their communities.

Enrique Morales Mateo – Prairie View A&M University

Originally from Coamo, Puerto Rico, Enrique Morales Mateo moved to the U.S. in high school with limited English skills. Now a computer engineering major, he’s inspired to work in the energy sector after experiencing Puerto Rico’s unstable power grid.

“Even light rain could cause outages, and hurricanes left people without electricity for months,” said Mateo. “This scholarship recognizes the effort I’ve put into both school and work and gives me a boost toward achieving my goal of working on real-world energy solutions.”

Matthew Caldwell – Prairie View A&M University

A Houston native and rising senior majoring in mechanical engineering, Matthew Caldwell dreams of becoming a vehicle dynamics engineer to improve car design and durability.

“Cars do not only serve the purpose of mobility,” said Caldwell. “They enable meaningful experiences like commuting to work, bringing loved ones home and traveling to life’s most memorable moments. The Entergy scholarship will allow me to focus on completing my final year of study and securing a full-time engineering position without the fear of financial struggles. They are not only investing in me, but in the lives of the many people I will impact throughout my life.”

Additional 2025 Power Your Future scholarship recipients include:

Teliyah Wynder – Prairie View A&M University

Ezequiel Flores – Sam Houston State University

Tupokiwe Kyumba – University of Houston

Dorisa Nishimwe – University of Houston

The Power Your Future Scholarship, which awards $5,000 per student, is managed by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest scholarship and educational support organization.

Entergy will invest $20 million over the next decade to elevate HBCUs and empower students across its four-state service area. These efforts are part of a larger focus to help strengthen overall education, career preparedness, and workforce development programs across the Gulf Coast.
