To help advance a resilient future for U.S. agriculture, PepsiCo Foods North America (PFNA) invests in programs that invite new generations into the agriculture sector and support the adoption of regenerative agriculture practices. Guided by the company’s pep+ commitment, PFNA aspires to help farmers grow food in a way that revitalizes the earth and supports their livelihoods. 

As part of this commitment, PFNA has established a strategic partnership with Practical Farmers of Iowa (PFI) through their Cover Crop Cost Share Program. This program incentivizes farmers across the Midwest to plant cover crops, a practice that promotes environmental sustainability by protecting soil health, sequestering carbon, enhancing biodiversity and improving watershed health. 

In 2023, PepsiCo globally provided support to nearly 5,500 farmers who adopted regenerative agriculture practices, impacting more than 1.8 million acres worldwide. The Cover Crop Cost Share Program with PFI provides financial assistance to approximately 3,800 participating farmers, helping them manage the costs of planting cover crops and reducing barriers to adopting sustainable practices. The newest round of enrollment will close in December, allowing additional farmers to participate.

Investing in innovative technology and sustainable practices can empower farmers to grow more food, therefore increasing their profits. However, for many small farmers, the financial costs of adopting these practices are a significant barrier. According to the 2022 USDA Census of Agriculture, 42% of U.S. farms are under 49 acres, and 79% of U.S. farms are small family farms generating less than $150,000 annually. For these farmers, the initial financial investment can be difficult to manage.   

One of the farmers benefiting from this program is Aaron White of Carlisle, IA. Aaron operates YT Cattle Company, where he grows 800 acres of row crops along with small grains for cover crop seed and hay. He also manages 20 grass and grain-fed cow/calf pairs and sells the beef directly to local consumers. 

Through this program, Aaron has received financial support that offsets some of his planting costs, allowing for expansion and experimentation with more cover crop acres. With weather extremes, farmers need to build improved resilience. Financial investment provides an opportunity to develop and refine cover crop practices efficiently, while helping him reduce erosion, lessen nutrient runoff and improve soil health. He credits the program with boosting his bottom line and supporting the long-term sustainability of his farm. 

“As a farmer, soil is our most valuable resource—it’s what sustains our livelihood. Keeping Iowa’s rich soil and nutrients on our farm, rather than losing them to runoff into the Gulf of Mexico, is crucial,” said Aaron White. “The Cover Crop Cost Share Program has helped us play our part in preserving these vital resources. It has also encouraged us to expand our knowledge of soil health.”

PFNA’s commitment to reducing barriers for farmers extends beyond the Cover Crop Cost Share Program to include other PFNA initiatives, like Planting Pathways. Through these efforts, PFNA plays a small role in helping increase access for new generations to enter the agriculture sector, creating profitable opportunities for farmers and building a more resilient food system.

Cummins

In the dynamic landscape of corporate careers, Schuyla J. stands out as a testament to the power of embracing potential. For 14 years, she has played an integral role at Cummins Inc., driven by her willingness to seize opportunities and take calculated risks.

Schuyla is the Executive Director of Ethics and Compliance, overseeing Investigations, Right Environment, Diversity Compliance and Data Privacy. She also provides leadership for the Corporate Quality team and serves as the Chief of Staff for the Chief Administrative Officer. Schuyla credits much of her career growth to her willingness to innovatively problem solve and take calculated risks. She believes strong, collaborative, trusting partnerships are positively impactful and often the catalyst for individual and collective success.

She says her roles at Cummins have all been equally challenging and rewarding. She emphasizes the importance of embracing change, adventures and resisting a restrictive mindset. She seeks to recognize the positive and good during periods of difficulty and uses new opportunities to expand her perspectives.

Early in her career at Cummins, Schuyla drew upon her first time working in Maragoli, Kenya and her 18 years as a practicing attorney to innovatively problem solve for employees and customers. As the Director of Commercial Special Projects, she established Cummins’ first office in Casablanca, Morocco. She worked to understand and embrace the company’s mission, vison and values in shaping the company’s regional presence. Her work in navigating these nuanced complexities and rich diversity prepared her to position Cummins as a leader in marketing, communications and facilities initiatives across emerging markets in Africa.

“Whether you’re in a small depo in a remote area in Botswana or at a facility in Columbus, Indiana, or Seattle, Washington, customers know and depend on service and support … they know the brand conveys reliability and dependability” she says. “We should give them what they expect.”

Schuyla’s leadership role expanded to Cummins Business Services (CBS), where she spent two years leading multiple departments tasked with delivering shared services for employees across the Africa region. She acknowledges that the “back of the house keeps the machine running,” and quickly learned the criticality of delivering exceptional service and support to internal organizations. From payroll to relocation services, delivery of IT equipment or accounts receivable services, she believes this opportunity within CBS was an invaluable role prior to her appointment as Managing Director of Southern Africa, overseeing sales and service operations for 11 countries.

After more than a decade in Africa, Schuyla returned to the U.S in late 2016, marking a pivotal moment in her career. She initially continued her work in the Distribution Business Unit as Operations Vice-President in the Pacific Northwest where she liked to contrast service and support execution in Alaska, Oregon and Washington with those in Zambia, Botswana or South Africa. In 2018, Schuyla moved to Indiana and the Procurement function within Supply Chain. In this role, she established the Contracts, Risk and Compliance Center of Excellence to improve supplier contracting and risk management processes.

Schuyla has complex and demanding responsibilities as the Executive Director of Ethics and Compliance. She and her team are essential. They provide assurances that the company (and its employees) are adhering to legal and regulatory requirements, and Cummins policies and processes across the globe. We are focused on “fostering ethical and responsible behavior and business practices that enable profitable growth and a welcoming workplace culture”, she says. Schuyla stresses the importance of speaking up and recognizes that employees are Cummins’ first line of defense in helping her team detect and prevent potential misconduct.

Schuyla is resolute in her commitment to protect Cummins’ reputation and its mission of Making People’s Lives Better by Powering a More Prosperous World. She works closely with her team to reinforce the importance of trust and transparency when engaging with employees.

“I want employees to know they can come to us (Ethics and Compliance) … we can provide guidance and help steward responsible decision making. I do my best to demonstrate the company values of integrity, valuing and including differences and caring in decision making and problem solving.” When she talks about the company to prospective and new talent, Schuyla passionately describes a vivid picture of the company’s presence through its diverse product offerings. In working with students, she challenges them to identify Cummins’ power presence in their daily lives, and she always appreciates when they find Cummins delivering power solutions in unexpected places.

When asked how she has impacted lives while at Cummins, Schuyla proudly highlights her pioneering efforts in hiring some of the first female technicians in Africa.

“One story that sticks with me is of a young woman I met when she was in high school. We worked with her from high school, she then she joined our apprentice program and ultimately was hired into a full-time job in the Cummins Master Rebuild Center,” Schuyla says, “From there, she moved into a warranty role. Today, she’s married with children, and I learned via Facebook that she has been able to purchase a home for her mother.”

Schuyla further demonstrates her commitment to inclusivity, valuing differences and innovation through her work with the Cummins Black Network (CBN) and Women’s Empowerment Employee Resource Group at Cummins. In 2020, Schuyla created CBN First Fridays to virtually bring together the Cummins community. For three years, this event showcased live DJs, knowledge sharing and opportunities to economically empower small businesses across the United States. CBN First Fridays fostered new and unique connections leveraging thematic programming and engagement with Cummins senior executives.

As Schuyla reflects on her journey, she remains committed to being open and appreciative of receiving direct, timely and sometimes difficult feedback, maintaining joy and recognizing when to step away. Her story is a testament to the transformative impact one can have when embracing opportunities, taking calculated risks and unleashing creativity to solve problems.

In September, Israel launched a barrage of airstrikes against Lebanon, marking the deadliest day since the country’s 2006 war. In recent weeks, the conflict has escalated, with strikes mainly hitting the southern part of the country and parts of Beirut, the capital. Millions are in need as winter approaches and the hostilities threaten more lives.

We spoke with our Country Director for Lebanon, Suzanne Takkenberg, about the conflict and our emergency response.

What’s the scale of the crisis?

The escalation of hostilities in Lebanon is unprecedented. Our teams have been on the ground since 2006, working especially in the South and Bekaa Valley, but we have never faced a humanitarian crisis as severe as this one. Over 1.2 million people have been displaced, with 809,000 people internally displaced and nearly 425,000 Syrians and Lebanese crossing the border into an unsafe Syria to flee conflict, hunger, and death. Every day and night, more damage is caused, and more lives are taken. The conflict is plunging hundreds of thousands of people into despair and the country into constant hardship and fear.

How has the conflict escalated?

The crisis is only getting worse and worse. As of Oct. 18, the situation has intensified, with a total of 10,415 attacks recorded since the onset of hostilities. Over 2,400 people have died and over 11,300 have been injured. Less than a week ago, an entire village was completely destroyed by soldiers and two dozen buildings were entirely demolished. Over the past two weeks, airstrikes have hit residential and densely populated areas, including the capital city of Beirut. Although mass evacuations have begun, countless civilians are still trapped in southern towns since safe passages are not guaranteed. The hostilities have prevented humanitarian workers from providing essential services and saving lives.

What upcoming risks do you anticipate?

The number of displaced people is putting immense pressure on limited resources. Especially as winter approaches, families will significantly suffer without access to shelter, clean drinking water, hygiene kits, and sanitation facilities. Damage to water infrastructure especially has exacerbated the threats of waterborne diseases. At least 28 water facilities have been damaged, cutting off water for 360,000 people. One cholera case was confirmed by the Ministry of Public Health, as well as scabies and lice. Food insecurity is worsening, with soaring food prices and a growing number of families unable to purchase basic necessities. Medical and psychosocial support is also urgently needed, for both affected communities and humanitarian staff facing serious emotional strain.

How are families in Lebanon coping with the crisis?

Communities are trying their best to share resources, organize local relief efforts, and depending on humanitarian aid. Nevertheless, with rising displacement, overcrowding, and insufficient access to medical care and essentials, families are experiencing extreme distress. Despite their resilience, the worsening crisis is pushing people to their limits. Many of our staff members have been displaced and lost their homes. Despite their grief, they remain committed, and we are doing what we can to support them with their mental health during this dire time.

How are our staff responding?

In coordination with Lebanese authorities and the international humanitarian community, our staff have provided emergency assistance to nearly 30,000 displaced individuals since Sep. 23. We’ve distributed over 528,000 gallons of water and reached over 20,000 individuals with water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) kits. We’re also supporting pregnant women and new mothers with nutrition services including screening, awareness, and supplementation. We’ve distributed 27,000 food rations to 10,000 people, including hot and cold meals, food parcels, and ready-to-eat kits. We’ve also given nearly 8,000 individuals mattresses, blankets, pillows, and necessities like fuel. Action Against Hunger has worked in Lebanon since 2006 and is dedicated to responding immediately and efficiently to the crisis and saving as many lives as possible. In the meantime, we urge all parties to cease hostilities and prioritize humanitarian law, ensuring the protection of civilians and health workers and allowing for unimpeded humanitarian access.

About Action Against Hunger in Lebanon

Action Against Hunger has been working in Lebanon since 2006. Last year, staff reached nearly 160,000 people with interventions focused on clean water and safe sanitation. Nearly 1.5 million Syrian refugees have taken shelter in Lebanon and now live in informal settlements and camps for internally displaced persons (IDPs). Action Against Hunger works on the ground in these communities, providing essential nutrition services and ensuring that the most vulnerable families have access to healthcare and livelihood support.

CNH brand, STEYR, has earned yet another accolade with a BIG SEE Product Design Award presented at a ceremony in Slovenia, one of STEYR’s key markets, with the Plus 80-117hp tractors.

Launched less than 12 months ago, the five Plus models are the first in the STEYR line to receive striking new styling created by a team led by David Wilkie. The latest in the string of design prizes earned by the Plus, the Product Design Award is part of BIG SEE, a south-eastern Europe initiative that began in the early 2000s and seeks to ‘become the global springboard for a responsible, Bio Intelligent Generation’ in South East Europe – hence BIG SEE.

The four-cylinder Plus tractors, all featuring FPT engines that meet stringent Stage V emissions regulations while helping users keep fuel consumption low, replace the Kompakt series, and STEYR aims to emulate their success as some of the most popular tractors in Slovenia and many neighbouring countries in central Europe. The Plus range blends fresh styling with innovative technology designed to help maximise efficiency and minimise environmental impact.

A new integral high-performance lighting package eases operator strain and ensures safety for the driver and others around the tractor. In the restyled cab, a full suite of precision farming technology, including S-Guide steering automation and S-Fleet telematics, is available for the first time at this power level, automating key functions to minimise driver fatigue and maximise fuel efficiency.

“STEYR Plus has won multiple awards since its introduction, and we are delighted to add this one to its collection,” said David Schimpelsberger, business manager at STEYR Traktoren. “STEYR has long been known for the style of its tractors, an integral part of a design package that includes product quality and technical features at all power levels. It is really pleasing to see this recognised once more in one of STEYR’s strongest markets. The BIG SEE award underlines our design focus on an integrated blend of style, sustainability and productivity.”

Entergy was recognized this year as one of the top 25 workplace giving contributors for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, donating more than $230,000 through the company’s employee payroll contributions across its service areas. The recognition was announced Aug. 29, 2024, during the company’s Northern Regional employee meeting. Each year, Entergy employees actively participate in United Way campaigns to raise funds for their communities. To further amplify the impact of these contributions, company shareholders match employee donations dollar-for-dollar.

During a special check presentation, Entergy executives and employees met with executives from ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude, where they presented the check for the overall amount of employee contributions made to St. Jude in 2023 across Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas – where Entergy employees live and work.

“Because of partners like Entergy and the generosity of its employees, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital can continue to lead the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases,” said Richard C. Shadyac Jr., President and CEO of ALSAC. “St. Jude is grateful for every generous donation provided through programs like payroll contributions. These simple acts of kindness make a major impact on the future of research and treatment for kids with cancer in the U.S. and around the world.”

When St. Jude opened in 1962, childhood cancer was largely considered incurable. Since then, St. Jude has helped push the overall survival rate from 20% to more than 80% today. With support from Entergy, St. Jude can continue to provide children with cutting-edge treatments that are not covered by insurance, at no cost to families.

At Entergy, our vision “We Power Life” extends beyond simply delivering essential energy services to our customers. Through strategic partnerships, we are committed to implementing various initiatives that address poverty, promote education and workforce development, provide financial assistance to our vulnerable customers, and enhance both our communities and the environment.

Entergy is dedicated to investing in critical programs and initiatives that foster the growth and prosperity of the communities where we live, work, and serve. Learn more about Entergy’s community engagement efforts.

Last week, AllianceBernstein hosted its sixth annual Day of Understanding. With events held virtually and in person across four global regions, 600 AB employees took part in meaningful conversations with guest speakers on ways to support the diverse needs of our colleagues, clients, and communities.

AllianceBernstein

AllianceBernstein (AB) is a leading global investment management firm that offers diversified investment services to institutional investors, individuals, and private wealth clients in major world markets. We believe corporate responsibility, responsible investing and stewardship are intertwined.

To be effective stewards of our clients’ assets, we strive to invest responsibly—assessing, engaging on and integrating material issues, including environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into most of our actively managed strategies (approximately 79% of AB’s actively managed assets under management as of June 30, 2024). We also strive to hold ourselves as a firm to similar practices that we ask of issues. Our stewardship practices, investment strategy and decision-making are guided by our purpose, mission and values.

Our purpose—pursue insight that unlocks opportunity—inspires our firm to act responsibly. While opportunity means something different to each of our stakeholders; it always means considering the unique goals of each stakeholder. AB’s mission is to help our clients define and achieve their investment goals, explicitly stating what we do to unlock opportunity for our clients. We became a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) in 2011. This began our journey to formalize our approach to identifying responsible ways to unlock opportunities for our clients through integrating material ESG factors throughout most of our actively managed equity and fixed-income client accounts, funds and strategies. AB also engages issuers when it believes the engagement is in the best financial interest of its clients.

Because we are an active manager, our differentiated insights drive our ability to deliver alpha and design innovative investment solutions. Material ESG and climate issues are important elements in forming insights and in presenting potential risks and opportunities that can affect the performance of the companies and issuers that we invest in and the portfolios that we build.

Our values provide a framework for the behaviors and actions that deliver on our purpose and mission. Values align our actions. Each value emerges from the firm’s collective character—yet is also aspirational.

Invest in One Another means that we have a strong organizational culture where diversity is celebrated and mentorship is critical to our success. When we invest in one another, we empower our employees to reach their potential, so that they can help our clients realize theirs. This enables us to partner with clients to design and deliver improved investment outcomes.Strive for Distinctive Knowledge means that we collaboratively identify creative solutions to clients’ economic, ESG and climate- related investment challenges through our expertise in a wide range of investment disciplines, close collaboration among our investment experts and creative solutions.Speak with Courage and Conviction informs how we engage our AB colleagues and issuers. We seek to learn from other parts of our business to strengthen our own views. And we engage issuers for insight and action by sharing ideas and best practices.Act with Integrity—Always is the bedrock of our relationships and has specific meaning for our business. Unlike many other asset managers, we’re singularly focused on providing asset management and research to our clients. We don’t engage in activities that could be distracting, or create conflicts—such as investment banking, insurance writing, commercial banking or proprietary trading for our own account. We are unconflicted and fully accountable.

As of June 30, 2024, AB had $770B in assets under management, $539B of which were ESG-integrated. Additional information about AB may be found on our website, www.alliancebernstein.com.
