NEW YORK and JERUSALEM, June 27, 2025 /3BL/ – Action Against Hunger is devastated to share the news that two of our colleagues, Mohammed Hussein and Obada Abu Issa, were killed the afternoon of June 26^th during an airstrike. They were not working at the time, nor were they in a zone under displacement orders. Mohammed and Obada had been beloved members of Action Against Hunger’s team in Gaza for the last year.  

Obada was 30 years old. He leaves behind his wife and two children. Obada joined the Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) team in February 2024 as a Program Field Assistant. His loss creates an irreplaceable gap for the team. A treasured colleague and friend, Obada will be remembered for his humor and professionalism. 

Mohammed was 20 years old. He was looking forward to extending his contract for another year, carrying a vision for his future and trying to shape it as best he could. Mohammed’s friends and colleagues cherish him as an example of morality, a boy with a generous heart that embraced everyone, giving those around him sincere support without asking anything in return  

Action Against Hunger will continue to remember Obada Abu Issa and Mohammed Hussein with warmth. Our thoughts are with their families at this tragic time. Psychological support is being provided to Action Against Hunger’s teams in Gaza. 

Action Against Hunger calls for an immediate and permanent ceasefire. The protection of humanitarian workers and civilians must be upheld in accordance with international law. Action Against Hunger reaffirms its unwavering commitment to its humanitarian mission and will continue to provide support in Gaza.

Joleen Ong, senior director of brand and retailer membership at Cascale, recently joined a panel of industry experts at the Outdoor Retailer Industry Day in Utah to discuss external factors impacting the future of the outdoor industry. The “Under Pressure: Understanding the Continuing Forces Redefining Outdoor Business” panel explored how brands are responding to tariffs, supply chain disruptions, sustainability demands, evolving consumer values, and boycotts of American products, offering actionable insights on building resilience and driving impact in a rapidly changing landscape.

Moderated by Suzanne Stroeer, owner of Dreamland Safari Tours and founder of AWExpeditions, the discussion also included Laura Schaffer, vice president of integrated marketing, brand amplification and impact at Orvis, and Jenni Staudacher, vice president of supply chain at Salomon.

Ong highlighted the impact of tariffs on supply chain decisions on brands, not only on costs but also on sourcing and planning. She noted how abrupt factory exits in response to trade shifts could result in unpaid wages, an increase in contract labor, and weakened supplier trust, which could subsequently dull the market signal needed for suppliers to make CAPEX investments for decarbonization.

On the importance of embedding responsible purchasing into governance, Ong shared how leading brands build cross-functional alignment — between sustainability, sourcing, and finance — in order to make decisions that reflect long-term priorities, not just a short-term response to tariffs, thereby shifting from transactional to strategic sourcing.

She emphasized the need to consider key trade-offs between local and global sourcing, urging sourcing professionals to consider localizing the sourcing of trims, raw materials, and components, which, in some cases, need to be imported to ensure supply and demand are met.

Delving deeper into resourcing and deprioritization of sustainability initiatives, Ong noted that brands are doubling down on efforts despite tight budgets, reframing sustainability as a business continuity issue in alignment with growing regulatory requirements. She highlighted how brands with long-term supplier relationships are more resilient when capacity is limited.

Ong also pointed out how brands are increasingly integrating sustainability KPIs into sourcing scorecards, rethinking what they measure and refining their metrics to reward trust, on-time delivery, emissions progress, and social performance, instead of prioritizing cost as a top scorecard metric, which can unintentionally penalize sustainability.

Ong shared insights on how competitors within the same market can collaborate to drive systemic change in sustainability. Reflecting Cascale’s mandate to foster pre-competitive collaboration, she emphasized that most environmental and social challenges, like factory emissions or excessive overtime, cannot be solved by any single brand in isolation. Ong underscored the importance of competitors aligning on shared expectations, data systems, and improvement frameworks to level the playing field, sending clearer, more consistent signals to suppliers across the value chain.

Reflecting on the recent Cascale Forum, which took place in Ho Chi Minh City, Ong shared insights from the event, where 42 percent of attendees said aligned brand requirements are key to accelerating decarbonization. She emphasized the importance of brands collaborating —on shared KPIs, improvement programs, or supplier scorecards — to reduce duplication and give factories confidence that sustainability progress will be rewarded, not penalized.

Ong shared how Cascale is encouraging brands to integrate climate and labor data more deeply into sourcing decisions — not just for reporting, but for actual business decisions, which is essential to driving a shift from ambition to accountability. She concluded by urging the outdoor industry to treat sustainability as a strategic infrastructure, not a side initiative, to build a future-proof industry.

The clean energy transition isn’t just driven by technology—it’s powered by conversation, collaboration, and informed action. Last week, David Smart, CCO at BioStar Renewables and Jacob Feutz, VP of Renewables for Faith Technologies, attended the Smart Energy Decisions (SED) Summer Forum in Hollywood, Florida, where they joined peers and partners in deep-dive discussions about the future of energy strategy in the commercial and industrial space.

The SED Summer Forum is known for fostering meaningful connections between energy buyers and solution providers. From curated one-on-one meetings to insightful panels and peer learning, the event offered a unique platform to explore evolving challenges and real-world solutions in energy efficiency, electrification, and sustainability leadership.

“We found the sessions to be highly relevant, the conversations incredibly productive, and the momentum toward clean energy stronger than ever.”

As companies face increasing pressure to balance cost, compliance, and climate impact, opportunities like the SED Forum are essential. They provide a space to align goals, clarify strategies, and spark innovation.

At BioStar, we are proud to be part of this forward-thinking community and remain committed to helping organizations design, finance, and deploy renewable energy solutions that deliver both environmental and economic returns.

If your organization is navigating policy changes or exploring a clean energy strategy, we’re here to help you understand your options and stay ahead of the curve.

ST. PAUL, Minn., June 27, 2025 /3BL/ — Scotch-Brite™, America’s #1-selling scrub sponge brand, introduces National Shine Brite Day, a yearly celebration that invites people everywhere to see cleaning in a new light – shifting the mindset from a task on a to-do list into a way to express yourself, refresh your space and feel good doing it.

National Shine Brite Day is part of the brand’s “Brite Side of Clean” campaign, which launched earlier this spring to usher in a fresh era of cleaning, one that centers on joy, self-expression and the satisfaction of a job well done. Featuring an energetic 30-second spot set to Outkast’s iconic early-2000s anthem ‘So Fresh, So Clean,’ the campaign invites everyone to dance through their chores and transform cleaning from a task into a powerful act of self-expression and positivity.

To help kick off the celebration, Scotch-Brite has teamed up with Ally Love, Peloton Instructor, VP of instructor strategy and development, and on-air Today show contributor, as a Clean Partner. Known for her energy, motivation and love of movement, Ally is inspiring people to reframe their routines by pairing cleaning with music, dance and the kind of positive vibes that turn even the smallest tasks into mini celebrations.

“Cleaning is part of my daily routine – not just to reset my space; it’s an act of mindfulness, movement and joy,” said Love. “My process starts with my favorite playlist – it keeps the energy up and makes the experience more enjoyable and fun. I love seeing the physical transformation from messy to clean – it’s a visual affirmation that my actions matter, that small acts have big impact. National Shine Brite Day is a reminder that cleaning is more than a task, it’s an opportunity to celebrate the creativity and pride that comes with a clean and refreshed space.”

June 26 holds a special significance for the brand as it marks the anniversary of Scotch-Brite’s first appearance on shelves in 1958. Nearly seven decades later, the brand continues to be a pioneer in the cleaning category with innovative solutions that brighten homes and lives.

“National Shine Brite Day is about more than creating a clean space – it’s about choosing to find joy in the process,” says Joe Paul, chief marketing officer, 3M Consumer Business Group. “Scotch-Brite is committed to providing consumers with creative, sensorial solutions to cleaning – for every day and every mess.”

Whether it’s the satisfaction of a dramatic before-and-after, the thrill of discovering a clever cleaning hack, or the joy of dancing your way through chores – Scotch-Brite believes cleaning should feel good. The brand encourages everyone to find the sparkle, share the fun and help others see the “brite side” too!

DÜSSELDORF /3BL/ – Henkel, a global leader in adhesives, sealants and functional coatings, and Synthomer, a world-leading supplier of high-performance, highly-specialized polymers and ingredients, have announced a strategic partnership and supply agreement focused on enabling carbon emission reductions in Henkel’s TECHNOMELT^® hot melt adhesive product portfolio for the European, Indian, Middle Eastern and African markets. This collaboration highlights both companies’ leadership in advancing sustainable adhesives through innovative collaborations along the value chain.

This partnership follows Synthomer’s recent launch of CLIMA-branded products. Products with this designation, like their REGALITE^TM line, deliver at least a 20% reduction cradle-to-gate in the product carbon footprint by using renewable energy in the production process. Henkel and Synthomer have jointly developed a framework that links renewable energy use directly to specific adhesive products, enabling measurable reductions in carbon emissions.

Henkel and Synthomer’s partnership is built on a mutual commitment to sustainability. Henkel aims to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 30 percent by 2030 (base year 2021), with the goal of becoming net-zero by 2045. To support this, it is incorporating raw materials with reduced process emissions footprint into adhesive formulations, helping lower Scope 3 emissions while maintaining high quality performance. Synthomer is contributing by reducing emissions from manufacturing operations, with a goal to cut absolute Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions 47 percent by 2030, using 2019 as the base year in line with its Science-Based Targets goals.

Synthomer’s improved manufacturing approach leverages renewable electricity, biogas and process optimization, significantly lowering the carbon footprint of their products. These carbon reductions are measured through Product Carbon Footprint (PCF) reporting, which follows ISO14067 standards and the Together for Sustainability (TfS) guidelines. The PCF methodology used in this collaboration is being externally validated by TÜV SÜD, adding a strong layer of verification and credibility.

“As industry leaders in the adhesives market, we share the responsibility to drive meaningful change,“ said Pernille Lind Olsen, Corporate Senior Vice President, Adhesive Technologies Henkel. „By partnering with suppliers like Synthomer who are equally committed to transparency, innovation, and verifiable climate action, we’re not just reducing emissions, we’re redefining what leadership looks like in our industry.”

“We are proud to support Henkel and their customers with novel adhesive solutions based on a significantly reduced carbon footprint. Our capability is based on our broad portfolio of high performing adhesive ingredients, a global production and development network paired with a relentless passion for innovation and sustainability. We continue to engage with partners to create sustainable value chains and reduce carbon emissions on our planet.” says Stephan Lynen, Synthomer’s President for Adhesive Solutions.

Hot melt adhesives are used in a variety of industries and applications from packaging and consumer goods to electronics and automotive. The integration of Synthomer’s CLIMA resins into Henkel’s TECHNOMELT^® hot melt adhesive portfolio will lower environmental impact while maintaining the same high-quality solutions the market expects from Henkel. TECHNOMELT^® adhesives are trusted for reliability, quality and proven results across a variety of applications.

The shared focus on sustainable product development and carbon footprint transparency highlights how strategic partnerships can drive progress and establish industry standards.

Lenovo released its FY 2024/25 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Report, detailing the company’s progress toward its 2030 emissions reduction targets and reaffirming its long-term ambition to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, aligned to the Science Based Targets initiative. As the first generation of ESG key performance indicators approaches completion, Lenovo remains on track across many key objectives, making this year a pivotal moment in its sustainability journey.

The report outlines how Lenovo is accelerating environmental progress through its participation in the circular economy, including the continued use of closed-loop recycled materials in its products. Lenovo also continues to empower customers with sustainability services that facilitate repair, recycling, and reuse, helping extend product lifecycles and keeping materials in circulation.

This year’s report reflects a growing recognition of Lenovo’s efforts, with the company earning Platinum Recognition from EcoVadis, an AAA rating from MSCI ESG Ratings, and the Gold Award from the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA) for Best Corporate Governance and ESG. Additionally, Lenovo was recently ranked #8 in Gartner’s Top 25 Global Supply Chain, with an ESG Score of 9/10. These achievements underscore Lenovo’s commitment to transparent, credible progress.

Lenovo’s social impact continues to scale globally. In 2024, it was again named a Best Workplace for People with Disabilities by Disability:IN in the United States, while expanding this recognition to the United Kingdom and Brazil through the global application of best practices. The company’s commitment to community engagement was also evident during its annual Love on Month of Service, which saw a record-breaking 44% increase in people reached through volunteerism by Lenovo employees around the world.

“This year marks a significant milestone for Lenovo’s ESG journey,” said Dave Carroll, Lenovo SVP, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Responsibility Officer, who succeeded Laura Quatela in March 2025. “With our first generation of key performance indicators nearing completion, we’re proud of the progress we’ve made and are focused on building the foundation for our next chapter of ESG leadership.”

In governance, Lenovo continues to reinforce its Smarter AI for All vision through a strengthened internal policy framework. In 2024, the company introduced a comprehensive AI governance policy aligned with commitments made to the Canadian Government, UNESCO, Cercle InterL, and most recently the European Commission. This follows the appointment of Doug Fisher who added Chief AI Officer to his Chief Security Officer role, further embedding responsible innovation across the business.

Looking ahead, Lenovo remains committed to a collaborative and credible approach to ESG. Through partnerships with customers and suppliers—such as those engaged through the Lenovo 360 Circle—the company is advancing a shared vision for a more sustainable and inclusive future.
