First-of-its-kind environmental initiative addresses the critical data shortage for MEP products needed to decarbonize building services.

RUEIL-MALMAISON, France, November 28, 2024 /3BL/ – Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, and One Click LCA, the leading sustainability software platform for construction and manufacturing, have today announced a partnership to improve the accuracy of environmental assessments in electrification.

As buildings are currently responsible for 39% of global energy-related carbon emissions, and 50% of today’s buildings will still be in use by 2050, Schneider Electric proposes that the industry should focus on retrofitting existing buildings, which can reduce their lifecycle carbon emissions by up to 83%.

The partnership addresses a persistent challenge in the architecture, engineering, and construction industry: the gaps in mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) environmental data. This initiative allows One Click LCA users to access detailed environmental data for Schneider Electric products, enabling more accurate calculations of building environmental impacts. It marks the first time that comprehensive manufacturer MEP environmental data is made accessible at this scale.

“The building industry needs reliable environmental data to make informed decisions,” says Sorouch Kheradmand, Global Head of Sustainability – Partners, at Schneider Electric. “By making our MEP product data publicly available through One Click LCA’s platform, we aim to set a new standard for transparency in our industry.”

“Access to manufacturer MEP product data has been a significant gap in building life-cycle assessments,” says Panu Pasanen, CEO & Founder, of One Click LCA. “This first-of-its-kind partnership with Schneider Electric marks an important step toward closing that gap. By integrating detailed electrical products data into our platform, we’re enabling AEC companies to perform more precise environmental impact calculations.”

The Schneider Electric & One Click LCA collaboration includes:

Integration of Schneider Electric’s environmental product data into the One Click LCA platformMutual learning to facilitate environment impact assessment in early stages of projectsEnhanced product selection capabilities for sustainable building design

LIMA, Peru, November 28, 2024 /3BL/ – DP World, a global leader in logistics and supply chain solutions, has become the first port terminal operator in Peru to receive the prestigious Peru Brand license.

DP World Callao, the concessionaire of the South Pier at the Port of Callao, was awarded the license by the Commission for the Promotion of Peru for Exports and Tourism (PromPeru) as part of its Peru Brand Licensee Program. 

The license acknowledges the terminal’s contributions to Peru’s international trade in terms of its role promoting national exports and investments, and its alignment with the country’s global image.

The announcement was made during a visit to the South Pier by Minister of Foreign Trade and Tourism, Desilú León, Executive President of PromPeru, Ricardo Limo, and CEO of DP World in Peru and Ecuador, Carlos Merino. The Peru Brand license underscores DP World’s 18-year commitment in Callao to investing in and operating Peru’s largest port concession.

Carlos Merino, CEO of DP World in Peru and Ecuador, said: “It is an honor to receive the Brand Peru license, which recognizes our ongoing commitment to Peru’s development. At the historic Port of Callao, we remain devoted to investing in infrastructure that supports Peruvian trade. This year, we inaugurated the Bicentennial Pier, an expansion representing more than $400 million in investment, reaffirming our dedication to advancing the country’s competitiveness.”

Between January and October 2024, operations at DP World Callao mobilized 1.63 million TEUs. This makes it the busiest port terminal in Peru in 2024 and on track to surpass its 2023 record of 1.64 million TEUs. 

As the only terminal in Peru capable of handling 400-meter-long vessels and operating three large ships simultaneously, DP World Callao has significantly enhanced the country’s port competitiveness. The terminal also supports more than 1,100 direct jobs and over 10,000 indirect jobs.

Desilú León, Minister of Foreign Trade and Tourism, said: “We are pleased to award the Brand Peru license to DP World Callao, a strategic ally for Peru’s foreign trade sector. With this, DP World joins more than 800 licensees across sectors such as exports, tourism, and gastronomy. Being a licensee of the Brand Peru is a great honor and reflects the strength and pride of our national identity.” 

The Peru Brand, declared an official symbol of the Peruvian state by Supreme Decree No. 003-2012-Mincetur, promotes national identity and pride. Through its Licensee Program, PromPeru recognizes individuals and organizations that align with the Peru Brand’s mission to enhance tourism, exports, investments, education, and the country’s global image.

SWORDS, Ireland, November 27, 2024 /3BL/ – Trane Technologies (NYSE:TT), a global climate innovator, has been recognized in TIME’s inaugural ranking of the World’s Best Companies for Sustainable Growth. Developed in collaboration with market research company Statista, the list highlights companies that excel in sustainable growth and financial stability while minimizing their environmental footprint.

“Being named to the inaugural list of the World’s Best Companies for Sustainable Growth is a tremendous honor,” said Dave Regnery, Chair and CEO of Trane Technologies. “We are proud to foster a culture that prioritizes innovation for customers, value for shareholders, and the well-being of our employees and the environment. This recognition from TIME underscores our unwavering commitment to carrying out our purpose of boldly challenging what’s possible for a sustainable world.”

Trane Technologies has a proven track record of leading financial performance while delivering on its bold sustainability commitments. Through leading innovation, strong customer focus and a talented team, Trane Technologies consistently delivers strong performance over time, with 2023 marking the third year of adjusted earnings per share (EPS) growth of 20% or more and continued strong growth to date in 2024. In the company’s most recent quarterly earnings report, Trane Technologies raised full-year revenue and adjusted EPS guidance for 2024.

In September, Trane Technologies became the first in its industry to commit to reducing embodied carbon by 40%. This commitment involves partnering with suppliers of materials such as steel, aluminum, copper, and refrigerants, while incorporating circular design criteria into product development. Buildings account for 40% of global carbon emissions, making the reduction of embodied carbon—greenhouse gas emissions associated with a product’s lifecycle—crucial for lowering their overall carbon footprint.

This commitment builds on the company’s 2030 Sustainability Commitments, which includes the Gigaton Challenge, a pledge to reduce customer greenhouse gas emissions by 1 billion metric tons (one gigaton) and a pledge to achieve carbon neutral operations. Trane Technologies has also pledged to be net-zero by 2050, and its near and long-term emissions reduction targets have been externally validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).

New Holland, a brand of CNH, recently welcomed partners from the academic and farming communities, as well as select agricultural media, at its Model Farm at Nakhon Sawan College of Agriculture and Technology (NSCAT) to showcase its strong commitment to empowering farmers in Thailand.

Expected to be fully developed in 2025, the 45-hectare Model Farm will feature advanced New Holland machinery and precision technology. It will serve as a practical training facility for the college students, a testing and demonstration hub for New Holland customers, as well as a learning centre for the agriculture community.

Mark Brinn, Managing Director for Southeast Asia and Japan at CNH, said, “In partnership with NSCAT, we’re building a farm where anyone can experience great iron and great technology in action. This investment exemplifies our unwavering support to today’s and tomorrow’s farmers.”

New Holland has been supporting generations of farmers for over 125 years with advanced technologies, tailored solutions, and services designed to enhance productivity and sustainability in agriculture.

“We listen closely to what our farmer communities need and expect. With the Model Farm, we can showcase our latest machinery and precision technologies in a real-world setting, helping us better understand their needs and tailor solutions to meet their requirements,” Mr. Brinn added.

During the visit, guests witnessed the donation of a New Holland TT2.50 tractor with a rotavator, a TT4.65 tractor, along with shirts and safety boots to NSCAT. This equipment will provide hands-on training for over 100 students, giving them a safe and practical experience.

In partnership with NSCAT, New Holland has committed to establishing a technical training center on campus and providing practical demonstrations and instructional materials for the students. New Holland is also collaborating with the College to develop curriculum standards, offer both short vocational courses and comprehensive training programs, and provide resources that support various crop cultivation projects.

Thanksgiving is hands down my favorite holiday. Sure, I love the food and the people, but it’s about more than that. Whether we’re spending time with family, reaching out to an old friend, or reflecting on what we’re thankful for, it’s a chance to focus on who and what bring meaning to our lives. That’s connection.

At T-Mobile, we’ve made it our mission to be the best in the world at connecting customers to their world. But during the holidays, I think a lot about a different kind of connection — the kind you can’t get from technology alone.

Even in this digital era, nothing compares to the magic of face-to-face moments. Science proves it. Research published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience shows that making eye contact and being fully present lights up parts of the brain tied to empathy and understanding — something no device or app can quite replicate.

Still, we live in a world dominated by screens and endless notifications. As The New York Times recently pointed out, tech can sometimes amplify loneliness instead of curing it. One in two adults reports feeling lonely, even as we’re more digitally connected than ever. That paradox is real: The very tools meant to bring us closer can, if we’re not careful, leave us feeling more distant.

That’s why this season is so important. We should be pausing to ask ourselves: Are we really soaking in what matters most? Technology has its place (believe me, I’m a huge fan!), but the holidays remind us to step back and prioritize the people in our lives.

Think about the last time you were in a room full of people, sitting around a long table or celebrating at a wedding. Were you really there? Or were you half in the moment and half checking your phone? So, I’m challenging myself — and all of us — to do better. To put the phone down, even just for a little while, and see what we notice. To observe how much we miss when we’re endlessly scrolling instead of connecting with the faces in front of us. The warmth of a real conversation or the energy of a shared laugh — that’s the stuff we’ll actually remember, not the notifications.

Of course, technology can enhance these experiences. It helps us stay in touch, preserve memories and plan trips (hello, T-Mobile travel benefits). That’s why, at T-Mobile, connection is more than the largest and fastest 5G network. It’s about creating opportunities for people to feel closer to what’s truly meaningful. This belief drives everything we do.

Because the times we cherish most happen beyond our devices. The digital age has fueled a deeper desire for human connection. The things we crave — understanding, empathy and presence — come from looking up from our screens once in a while and into the eyes of the people we care about. And when we dial up the gratitude, we learn to use the tech we rely on to strengthen those relationships.

Here’s my wish for all of us this holiday season: Let’s pay attention to what we pay attention to. Swap a story or two. Raise a glass with friends. When we do, we’ll rediscover what makes life fulfilling: shared laughter, feeling heard, and the unmatched joy of human connection — online and off.

For over three decades, our Gas Operations team, along with dedicated retired employees, has been making a significant impact on our community by raising funds to provide turkeys for local beneficiaries in time for Thanksgiving. This year, we proudly continued this cherished tradition.

Through creative fundraising events, such as a pie-throwing contest and dunk tank, our Gas team successfully gathered resources to support those in need. Our efforts resulted in 360 turkeys and 148 Cornish hens donated to 14 agencies, including senior centers, local churches and community centers. We ensured donations were delivered in advance of Thanksgiving, creating a meaningful impact in our community.

Marina Savelli joined Cummins Inc. three decades ago, starting her career in finance. She recently began her latest role as Vice President of the Engine Business Off-Highway Markets, where she leads our operations for industrial segments such as construction, agriculture, defense, and more. Marina’s vision and experience have been instrumental in helping drive Cummins’ growth and success over the past thirty years.

Born and raised in Brazil, her Hispanic heritage influences how she approaches work and life at Cummins. Marina’s cultural roots enhance her interactions and leadership style and provide her with unique perspectives in business and with people.

 “Being a Hispanic leader is an honor and a responsibility.  I have employees looking up at me, and I want to make sure I provide the best leadership I can, and that I can also be a diverse voice from the Hispanic community for Cummins’ leadership,” she says.

Marina reflects with gratitude on her different roles, having moved around the world and worked across different functions.  Marina’s deep connection to Hispanic culture has also been helpful in her roles across Latin America.  One of her proudest achievements was leading Filtration Latin America in Brazil.

In three years, she doubled the company size and added a second shift to the plant. “Being back in my native country, creating jobs, and helping people prosper was very special.” Each experience, whether dealing with growth or navigating difficulties, has shaped her into a resilient and effective leader. Marina emphasizes that overcoming obstacles and learning from every role are crucial for career development. “I believe delivering on your current roles is the best way to build your career,” she says.

Marina values Cummins’ supportive environment. When asked how she would describe the Cummins culture to her friends and family her response was, “Above all, we care.  We care about the employees, the environment, the customers and each other.  We do what is right.  We have incredible capabilities, and we translate that into great products and services to power the success of our customers.”

She notes that Cummins’ core values of integrity, diversity and teamwork resonate deeply with her own cultural values, contributing to a workplace where everyone can thrive. She enjoys seeing our company’s leaders embracing different cultures when they are traveling – like CEO Jen Rumsey wearing a Brazilian soccer jersey at our last Cummins town hall. She also mentions how Cummins  encourages and supports Employee Resource Groups, like Organized Group of Latino Affinity (GOAL), which provide valuable networking opportunities and a sense of community.

For Marina, Hispanic Heritage Month is a special time to honor and explore Hispanic culture. Her active involvement in the Latino community over the years has deepened her appreciation and joy in celebrating the rich tapestry of Hispanic cultures. Marina’s advice for Hispanic professionals aiming for a career at Cummins is straightforward, yet powerful: deliver on your job, be curious, seek help, and get involved. She emphasizes the importance of curiosity and networking, which can significantly enhance career growth and personal fulfillment. “There is a lot of expertise out there, people love to share their expertise, and it is a great way to meet people and network.”

Looking ahead, Marina hopes to see continued growth in the Hispanic employee population and an increase in Hispanic leaders within Cummins. She’s passionate about a future where the Hispanic community’s contributions are recognized and valued, further enriching Cummins’ diverse and inclusive culture.

Marina’s story is a powerful example of how heritage, dedication and leadership converge to make a significant impact. Her journey is a source of inspiration, exemplifying the spirit of perseverance and excellence that defines Cummins.
