CORONA, Calif., November 21, 2024 /3BL/ – Monster Energy’s highly anticipated Beat the Beast Twitch event has returned bringing with it intense Call of Duty®: Black Ops 6 battles, surprise guests, big prizes for fans and a $50,000 donation to charity.

On Saturday Nov. 9 and Sunday Nov. 10, Monster Energy’s Beast Squad challenged community players in ultra-competitive 4v4 multiplayer matches.

Monster fans faced off on the Monster Energy Twitch Channel against Beast Squad’s TeeP, Aydan, HusKerrs, and Symfuhny, with premiere casting duo MerK and Maven shoutcasting the action.

The Beast Squad battled against community challengers on Twitch to try to secure the $50,000 purse for charity while those community teams competed for limited-edition Monster Energy merchandise.

The Beast Squad successfully banked $27,500 for their charity, but Monster was not about to leave any money on the table given it was going to a great cause – enter surprise challengers and esports superstars Atlanta FaZe, of the Call of Duty League.

The Beast Squad and Atlanta FaZe then went head-to-head to try to secure the remaining money in a best-of-three competition. In the first game, the Beast Squad kept it close but FaZe ultimately won 3-0.

Following two days of top esports action, Beast Squad won $27,500 and revealed the money would go to support the Call of Duty Endowment, which helps veterans find high-quality jobs after their service.

Atlanta FaZe, who swept in and won $22,500, chose to donate their winnings to AbleGamers. The charity supports gamers with disabilities, ensures access via adaptive play and nurtures inclusive communities in an effort to combat social isolation.

Monster Energy is proud to be part of the gaming lifestyle and Beat the Beast is just one of the many ways the brand aims to support and give back to both gamers and charity, according to Dan McHugh, Global CMO of Monster Energy.

“We’re excited to bring back the Monster Energy Beat the Beast event with fresh gameplay twists and a focus on giving back,” says McHugh.

Monster Energy is also ensuring that fans are at the top of their game by providing gamers with the ultimate in-game rewards, including unique skins and 2XP (double experience points), to enhance their Call of Duty experience.

From now until December 31, fans can secure these in-game items by buying any Monster Energy product and uploading their receipts at the dedicated Monster and Call of Duty website callofduty.monsterenergy.com. The more cans secured, the more rewards you can earn.

In this special edition, we focus on Baker Hughes’ participation in COP29 Azerbaijan in Baku.

What is COP? COP, which stands for Conference of Parties, is the series of formal meetings, where governments assess global efforts to advance the Paris Agreement and the Convention. At COP, world leaders come together to measure progress and negotiate the best ways to address climate change and limit global warming to 1.5°C.

There are now 198 Parties (197 countries plus the European Union) to the Convention, constituting near universal membership. The next Conference is currently taking place in Baku, Azerbaijan, in November 2024.

The Baker Hughes team is proud to have been involved in COP in recent years and is supporting conversations in Baku from this week, with several key speaking engagements and collaboration activities. Let’s review some key topics we can expect to hear more about during the conference.

BREAKING NEWS: live from COP29- read below

We’re proud to announce that the State Oil Company of the Republic of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) has awarded us a contract to help abate downstream emissions and significantly reduce flaring at the Heydar Aliyev Baku Oil Refinery, using our innovative flare gas recovery and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) removal system. The contract was signed today at COP29 Azerbaijan by our Chairman and CEO, Lorenzo Simonelli, and President of SOCAR, Rovshan Najaf.

Let’s Talk Sustainability: What are the economics of a just transition?

COP is a unique global platform that brings public and private sector, countries from the Global North and the Global South to discuss solutions that address climate change. As the impacts of climate change and the shift to a lower carbon economy take shape around the world, public policy and corporate responsibility initiatives are being developed to help countries and communities navigate this transition. Governments around the globe have created financial incentives and the private sector has increasingly recognized and taken action to ensure a just transition.

What does this mean for the energy industry? Listen and learn from this insightful session where Baker Hughes Chief Sustainability Officer Allyson Anderson Book discusses just transition and its impact to the energy industry and Baker Hughes with experts from Washington DC think tank Resources for the Future (RFF). Baker Hughes is a supporter of RFF.

Financing for Net-Zero (or How to Fund the Trilemma?)

Climate finance is an important theme for this year’s COP. The bill for achieving net zero will total into the trillions of dollars. Someone somewhere has to pay for new infrastructure, new technologies, research and development. But who should it be?

Innovative funding models that will meet the disparate needs of economies across the globe will be required to bolster investor confidence and stimulate cash flows to transition projects. Watch and learn from the panel discussion at the Baker Hughes Annual Meeting 2024.

5 things you should know about the circular economy

Sustainability starts with managing our current resources, while we conserve for the future. In a world of finite resources, what was waste is not the end of the line, but the beginning of something new.

What is the circular economy? The circular economy is an economic system based on the reuse and regeneration of materials or products. By encouraging the maximization of the value of the resources and finding new uses for what were once considered waste products and spent materials, we can move closer to net-zero.

The circular economy is an economic model that keeps resources in use for as long as possible, extracts the maximum value from them while in use, then recovers and regenerates products and materials at the end of each service life. Read the article to find out more.

Together, we’re setting the tone for global climate action, addressing the pressing challenges posed by climate change today to accelerate industry towards net-zero. 

Hear takeaways above from Lorenzo Simonelli and Marie Merle Caekebeke from on the ground in Baku and gain insights into some of the critical discussions that have taken place so far.

Ahead of Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival’s 10th anniversary, AEG and Goldenvoice hosted their second AEG Community Day, a career exposure day for more than 65 high school students and young adults from the local community who learned about various careers in the live entertainment industry.

The event, which took place at Dodger Stadum on November 14, 2024, included panel discussions, speed mentoring table talks, and an exclusive tour of the iconic festival grounds ahead of the event. In addition to executives from AEG Presents and Goldenvoice, professionals from festival sponsors Converse, Taco Bell and Amazon Music, gave attendees a chance to see what it takes to put on a large-scale music festival.

The event culminated in a surprise appearance from Travis “Taco” Bennett, Actor, DJ and member of the music collective Odd Future. Bennet shared his own career journey and spoke candidly about his experiences in the industry. He also touched on the challenges he faced breaking into the entertainment industry and the importance of staying true to oneself in a competitive field.

In addition to receiving invaluable career insights, participants were gifted a ticket to attend both days of the sold- out Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival, providing them with an opportunity to witness first-hand the different aspects of festival production that they learned about during the Community Day. Attendees also received a $25 gift card from AEG Presents, a $100 gift card from Converse, and a variety of apparel from Tyler, The Creator’s popular clothing line, GOLF WANG. Additionally, the Taco Bell food truck was on-site to provide participants with lunch.

On November 6, Cascale, the Social & Labor Convergence Program (SLCP), and Worldly, the leading sustainability data insights platform, co-hosted the latest webinar in the Navigating Legislation & the Higg Index series, titled “Higg FSLM in Supporting Social Compliance.” The webinar brought together industry experts to explore the evolving regulatory landscape and how Cascale’s Higg Facility Social Labor Module (Higg FSLM) based on the SLCP’s Converged Assessment Framework (CAF) can help companies navigate social compliance obligations.

This webinar, the third in the series, focused on the intersection of social compliance and legislative frameworks that impact supply chain management. Gabriele Ballero, public affairs manager at Cascale, moderated the session, which featured insights from Elisabeth von Reitzenstein, senior director of public affairs at Cascale; Orine Dsouza, senior manager, Higg Facility Tools at Cascale; Tom Mason, senior policy & stakeholder engagement manager at SLCP; and Vic Lau, customer success manager at Worldly.

The session attracted a diverse audience of sustainability specialists, ESG managers, compliance officers, and other professionals eager to understand how the Higg FSLM (based on SLCP’s CAF) aligns with emerging global regulations. Attendees engaged in a discussion on how the Higg FSLM can support compliance with regulations designed to improve human rights and forced labor standards in global supply chains.

Key Insights from the Webinar:

During the webinar, von Reitzenstein provided an overview of the rapidly evolving EU and U.S. regulations, such as the EU CS3D, the German Supply Chain Act, and the U.S. Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act. She highlighted the growing importance of Human Rights Due Diligence (HRDD) and how these regulations are shaping the future of supply chain transparency and accountability.

Dsouza outlined the Higg FSLM, which is based on SLCP’s CAF. The tool offers a standardized, data-driven approach to assessing social and labor compliance in manufacturing facilities. Dsouza explained that the tool helps manufacturers reduce audit fatigue, easily compare data, and allocate resources more effectively for continuous improvement.

Mason discussed how SLCP is mapping the CAF against evolving legislation and emphasized the importance of aligning social compliance tools with regulatory requirements. Mason also highlighted SLCP’s HRDD Toolkit, which supports companies in understanding how the CAF can help them to meet compliance obligations, and previewed updates to the CAF slated for Q1 2025 to enhance policy alignment.

Lau demonstrated how Worldly’s platform hosts Cascale’s Higg Index suite of tools, including the Higg FSLM, and how they have made assessment results more user-friendly. Lau explained how the platform’s summaries and scoring features enable companies to track their progress year over year to support users in improving social and labor conditions and reducing audit fatigue for supply chain facilities.

Also, during the webinar, von Reitzenstein announced a strengthened partnership between Cascale and SLCP. Together, they have developed a joint public affairs vision statement to align efforts in policy and advocacy. This collaboration ensures that tools like SLCP’s CAF and Higg FSLM are effectively integrated into social policy frameworks, driving global improvements in labor standards and ethical practices within the industry.

The Higg FSLM, supported by the strategic collaboration between Cascale, SLCP, and Worldly, will continue to evolve to meet the needs of companies navigating regulatory requirements. Cascale’s Navigating Legislation & the Higg Index webinar series will continue into 2025, offering more in-depth discussions on how the Higg Index tools can support compliance with new and emerging legislation.

Originally published by Montclair State University Foundation

The Montclair State University Foundation has been awarded a two-year, $1 million grant from the Public Service Enterprise Group (PSEG) Foundation to further develop and expand the PSEG Institute for Sustainability Studies’ annual Green Teams internship program that serves communities and builds career success for undergraduate students. As the Green Teams celebrates its 10-year anniversary, this funding will enhance the program’s ability to tackle environmental and climate challenges in New Jersey.

Since its inception, the Green Teams program has served as a platform for students to gain internships, green jobs and entry into graduate programs. Community partners host teams of undergraduate students, who conduct sustainability research, collect and analyze environmental and economic data, and make recommendations to help shift corporate and organizational culture toward sustainability.

To date, 420 students from across the country have completed over 350 real-world projects supporting 53 local communities, nonprofits, and both national and global companies in advancing their sustainability goals.

A Focus on Supporting Overburdened Communities and Organizations

One of the core objectives of the grant is to provide Green Team interns to New Jersey municipalities and nonprofit organizations that lack the resources to fund their own sustainability projects. These projects focus on promoting and achieving environmental justice. Funding will cover intern stipends, travel expenses for site visits and field trips, and advanced training by expert personnel. Outcomes from the community work the Green Teams have completed so far have informed and empowered communities to address flooding, food security, waste and other environmental issues.

Expanding Technology and Training

The grant will also support advanced technology and expertise to support the growing complexity of the sustainability projects, including empowering students with Geographic Information System (GIS), drone (UAV) and virtual reality (VR/XR) technologies.

Additionally, the program will expand the training of interns in professional communications and survey methods and will help strengthen partnerships with Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-Serving Institutions, and community colleges.

“As the Green Teams program marks its 10th anniversary, we’re excited to support the next phase of its growth. This partnership with Montclair State University strengthens our shared commitment to sustainability, while ensuring the benefits help reach New Jersey’s most underserved communities,” said Calvin Ledford Jr., President of the PSEG Foundation and Director of Corporate Social Responsibility. “The Green Teams program exemplifies the kind of innovative, hands-on experience that prepares students to tackle today’s most pressing environmental challenges. It’s a win-win, providing students with invaluable real-world experience while addressing critical needs across the state.”

A Decade of Impact and Continued Growth

In celebrating a decade of its work, the PSEG Institute for Sustainability Studies will highlight alumni achievements, progress based on past projects and host celebratory and informative events.

Interviews with alumni and partner organizations will showcase how the Green Teams have influenced not only environmental sustainability efforts but also the personal and professional growth of the interns involved.

“We are excited to build on the decade of impact we have had supporting communities and educating students through our partnership with the PSEG Foundation,” said Amy Tuininga, Director of the PSEG Institute for Sustainability Studies.

About the Green Teams Program

The Green Teams internship program assembles diverse teams of undergraduate students from a variety of academic majors, introducing them to subject-matter experts, professors and leaders addressing the world’s most difficult challenges. Teams work in partnership with hosting organizations over a period of 10 weeks to develop solutions that advance the organizations’ sustainability.

The teams have collaborated on a range of critical issues including reducing greenhouse gas emissions, addressing food insecurity, mitigating flood risks and assessing the environmental risk from artificial turf.

The program is supported by private philanthropic and federal sources, including the PSEG Foundation, Constellation, the National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Agriculture and NASA.
