As the fall approaches with cooler days, many people are swapping their wardrobes for warmer attire. Likewise, those interested in fashion are already looking at the latest collections for next year, which were recently unveiled at Fashion Weeks all over the world.

In our Top Stories this issue, we see that the fashion industry is currently eyeing sustainability as well as style. The BBC reports that UK-based charity Oxfam is participating in a sustainable fashion show at Oxfordshire’s historic Blenheim Palace, called Re:Fashion. While the entire show is focused on the desire for using sustainable materials and production processes, Oxfam is highlighting its annual Second-Hand September campaign that encourages consumers to view “pre-loved” clothing as an alternative to fast fashion. The charity’s CEO Halima Begum pointed out how thrifting has become more popular with younger consumers, saying, “You can get second-hand, really stylish clothes or goods, and… if we can make a choice that also helps the planet and thinks about our carbon footprint across the world, that’s a win-win for us.”

Vogue Business reports that Ebay is also promoting secondhand fashion by holding two “Endless Runway” streaming events in New York and London, in partnership with the Council of Fashion Designers of America and the British Fashion Council. The events are designed to spread awareness and elevate pre-loved fashion by “pushing secondhand into the mainstream, where it’s impossible to ignore,” according to Ebay’s general manager of global fashion Kirsty Keoghan.

Outdoor clothing giant Patagonia has been a leader in sustainable fashion, using 100% recycled materials for packaging and catalogues and partnering last year with Eastman, an American chemical company, to create sustainable fibers from unusable pre- and post-consumer textile waste. According to an article in Sourcing Journal, Eastman reported in February that it had already handled 8,000 pounds worth of waste from Patagonia. Patagonia recently agreed to be part of non-profit Canopy’s Pack4Good initiative, which will allow them to use more recyclable materials in their packaging, such as agricultural waste. The Pack4Good initiative now counts 445 brands worth more than $249 billion in annual revenue as participants.

While these stories represent some progress, there is still a long way to go for the fashion industry to walk the sustainability walk, according to recent coverage in Reuters. Oliver Balch reports that new research from the campaign group Fashion Revolution indicates that 53% of the world’s biggest 250 fashion brands still lack a firm decarbonization target, and only one in 10 of the global brands studied disclose details of their energy procurement at the supply chain level. The problem seems to be worse in the UK, where Just Style reports that the non-profit Collective Fashion Justice claims just 3.39% of British Fashion Council members (just seven brands) have shared emissions reduction targets.

According to Reuters, environmental groups are calling for “robust rules in the textile-specific standards currently in development under the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).” Pressure is also growing from investors such as Dutch investment group ASN Impact Investors, which recently announced that it is divesting from fast-fashion brands because of their failure to meet its new, tougher sustainability criteria.

Sustainability is always in fashion at G&A and our team is available to help companies in the fashion industry, and all industries, to develop programs for sustainability reporting that meet growing demands for accountability and transparency.

Saint-Gobain North America, through its Ceramics division, has achieved net-zero carbon manufacturing (scopes 1 and 2) at its Surface Conditioning facility in Anaheim, California, reducing CO2 emissions by 80 tons compared to 2022 levels. Through this project, the Anaheim facility has been able to eliminate the use of natural gas at the facility and is now powered completely by electricity covered by Renewable Energy Credits (RECs).

In operation since 1990, the Anaheim plant manufactures coolants, lubricants, abrasive slurries, cleaners and specialty fluids for use in a wide variety of industries. The facility has historically operated using only two energy sources, electricity and natural gas to power a water heater. As part of the project, the old water heater was replaced by an electric version, eliminating the need for natural gas and making the plant net-zero from a scope 2 perspective. As the site’s electricity supplier could not guarantee a renewable energy supply, the team in Anaheim executed the purchase of RECs to cover its electricity use and achieve net-zero for scope 1 emissions.

“As a company committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, each plant must take the initiative and action to reach these goals,” said Jeff Mydlarz, Vice President of Saint-Gobain Specialty Grains and Powders. “I congratulate the Anaheim plant for their dedication to sustainability. Their work truly embodies our purpose- Making the World a Better Home.”

Following this milestone on scope 1 and 2 emissions, the Anaheim plant has continued to work to help forward the company’s sustainability goals by working with its suppliers to reduce emissions and the facility’s scope 3 emissions.

The project is part of the company’s successful execution of its global Grow and Impact strategy, which includes ambitious environmental sustainability goals, such as reducing the company’s consumption of energy and water and achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050.

This project follows several other recent actions taken by the company to solidify its commitment towards sustainability:

In August, Saint-Gobain enhanced operational practices at its glass mat plant in Charleston, South Carolina, saving over 4,500 MWh of energy.In July, Saint-Gobain announced that it will save over 10 million gallons of water per year through the installation of smart water submetering systems and other equipment upgrades at its CertainTeed Siding facility in Jackson, Michigan.In April, Saint-Gobain achieved Core Living Building Ready designation from the International Living Future Institute for its CertainTeed Innovation Center in Malvern, Pennsylvania.In March, Saint-Gobain announced that its CertainTeed Siding business had reduced manufacturing related emissions by 96% at three facilities in the United States.In February, Saint-Gobain completed the installation of a heat recovery system at its gypsum facility in Vancouver, British Columbia, which will lead to a 15% reduction in Scope 1 carbon emissions.

With over 145 manufacturing locations in the United States and Canada, every current and future member of the company’s team plays a vital role in achieving its sustainability goals. A current list of job openings at all Saint-Gobain locations, including in Anaheim, can be found on the company’s career website.

Energy efficiency offers positive societal benefits in both environmental and economic ways, such as lowering pollutants and utility bills. As such, the global community is looking toward technological advancements to help drive a more sustainable future. One such technology that offers opportunities in this space is 6G. Utilizing its unparalleled speed and connectivity, and powered by the transformative capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI), 6G enables the opportunity to drive unprecedented energy efficiency. It also represents a major shift in how the communications industry can approach sustainability at the most fundamental level – as a native attribute of the network.

The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector in 2020 used ~4% of global electricity in the use stage, representing about 1.4% of worldwide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in that year.1 In addition, ICT emissions have likely grown twice as fast as total global emissions.2 At the same time, 6G is anticipated to have greater data throughput demands than 5G3, which will require solutions that are designed efficiently. On top of this, the demand for generative AI is a driving force in data growth, to the tune of a new data center every three days.4 This extreme growth adds new challenges that weren’t considered 10 years ago.

Dr. Giampaolo Tardioli, Keysight vice president of 6G Innovations, spoke earlier this year at Mobile World Congress noting that, “As we think about the transformation from 5G to 6G, we need to go from a network aware of energy consumption to a communication system with sustainability as a native attribute of the network itself.”

Other Keysight presenters at the event also noted that, in an age where connectivity is embedded into every aspect of society, achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 is critical. As such, the transition from 5G to 6G needs to include creating purpose-driven sustainable networks that benefit the environment and have positive economic impacts.

Keysight is playing a critical role in enabling sustainability in 6G networks. Keysight’s 6G journey, which started nearly five years ago, is focused on advancing key scalable solutions while actively engaging and influencing the early-stage ecosystem, keeping sustainability and AI top of mind.

The future is looking bright with the opportunity of energy efficiency through 6G developments, and I’m thankful to be part of a company that will help move toward more sustainable network infrastructures.

For more than a decade, Alliance for Community Empowerment (ACE) has assisted thousands of individuals in overcoming barriers by addressing the core issues facing their low-income communities through education, workforce development and other support services.

The San Fernando Valley, California-based ACE staff has grown to 65 employees but the team occasionally needs outside support that it might not otherwise have if it weren’t for a capacity building resource like Catchafire, which facilitates access to volunteers with professional skills looking to support community development leaders and nonprofits who may be under-resourced and overextended.

ACE began using Catchafire in 2022 and has tapped into resources for various projects ranging from human resources to change management and new data system implementation to marketing. The marketing expert’s volunteer contribution was significant enough that ACE hired the volunteer full-time, and the nonprofit is now in the process of further expanding its marketing department.

“For smaller nonprofits like ACE, partnerships like these can be a lifeline because they provide access to highly skilled professionals who can offer expertise that may otherwise be out of reach,” said ACE CEO and founder Michelle Miranda. “Utilizing volunteers and resources has provided our team with comprehensive project management skills and training, helped us develop our leaders, and given us guidance on implementing and navigating changes.”

U.S. Bancorp Impact Finance, the community investment and tax credit division of U.S. Bank, became a thread in ACE’s story by providing grants and capacity building to support aligned organizations like Catchafire.

“We’re pleased to support programs that give back and bridge gaps for nonprofits like ACE,” said Torrence Moore, managing director of Impact Finance’s Business Impact Group. “Success stories like this one are a great example of the impact this can have on organizations and the communities they serve.”

Miranda said connecting with a volunteer who had extensive marketing experience allowed ACE to refine communication strategies and improve how it supports individuals.

“U.S. Bank’s collaboration with Catchafire not only supports nonprofits in achieving their missions but also fosters long-term sustainability by helping us build the foundational structures needed for growth,” she said. “This type of collaboration is vital in empowering smaller organizations to make a more significant difference in the communities they serve.”

Advanced tools, customized training and life-saving equipment boost community safety and resiliency during ongoing storm season and beyond

CHARLOTTE, N.C., September 30, 2024 /3BL/ – Just as Duke Energy makes extensive preparations ahead of severe weather and other emergencies, Duke Energy Foundation is committed to helping ensure its communities are well prepared before disaster strikes.

During the past five years, Duke Energy Foundation has invested over $19.5 million in emergency preparedness and response efforts across North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky. The Foundation’s approach is collaborative, working closely with local leaders and nonprofits to understand and address specific needs to boost community safety and resiliency.

“By supporting local organizations on the front lines of disaster preparation and response, we help build community infrastructure and readiness to respond to a myriad of emergencies,” said Amy Strecker, president, Duke Energy Foundation. “We’re committed to standing with our communities every step of the way – from proactive planning to response and recovery.”

Duke Energy volunteers also joined in the preparations, packing thousands of no-cost storm kits for seniors and contributing $3.3 million of their own money and volunteer time in the same five-year window. “Our employees love getting in on the action of helping our communities,” said Loretta Murray, manager, Duke Energy Foundation and volunteer champion. “I know the fear and devastation that a hurricane can bring. I’ve lived through it. Now I get to do something about it. It does me proud.”

Funding from Duke Energy Foundation has delivered immediate relief in times of crisis and equipped first responders with advanced tools, customized training and life-saving equipment to boost community safety and resilience. Earlier this year, a grant-funded drone helped locate a missing South Carolina man.

“The grant from the Duke Energy Foundation enabled us to bring in top-of-the-line drones and equipment,” said Gus Ballard, manager of drone operations at Spartanburg County Emergency Services. “Since then, our performance has steadily improved thanks to the advanced capabilities and reliability of the equipment. This impacts not only our operations within the county, but throughout South Carolina and surrounding states where we assist other agencies.”

As the 2024 storm season continues through November, Duke Energy and its Foundation stand ready to respond and support its communities. Additionally, customers are encouraged to download the enhanced American Red Cross Emergency app.

Every year, Gildan’s summer internship program invites aspiring students and recent graduates to go beyond the simple t-shirt and discover the full breadth and scale of the organization. This year, Gildan welcomed over 30 interns across offices in Canada, Barbados, and the United States, providing them with opportunities to support various functions, hone their skills with experienced mentors, and network with professionals from the various regions where Gildan operates.

“Our summer internship program is a great chance to introduce Gildan to passionate students,” says Shannon Preston, Vice-President of Human Resources at Gildan. “Moreover, it is an opportunity for us to inspire responsible and strong leaders of tomorrow, both for Gildan and beyond.”

We asked some interns about their experience with the program and interesting things they learned along the way. Here’s what they had to say:

On why they chose Gildan:

“I first heard about the internship program from a past Gildan intern and was impressed by his experience. Upon doing some further research, I learned about Gildan’s commitment to producing apparel responsibly, and knew that this was the kind of company I wanted to work for.

Imagine my excitement when I learned that there was a Customer Service internship opening for the 2024 season. It was the perfect opportunity for me to combine my passion for speaking with people with my degree in tourism and hospitality. This role offered me the chance to gain some practical experience and test my customer service skills in a global company stationed across multiple regions.”

– Kecia Alleyne, Customer Service Intern

On what surprised them about Gildan:

“I hadn’t fully grasped the breadth of Gildan. It was only when I began working in the SOX Compliance team and collaborating with different stakeholders from across the Company that I realized the true scale of the organization. 

Throughout my internship, I had the chance to understand the work of many different departments, including external reporting, commodities, and treasury. Also, the internship cohort itself consisted of people from HR, Communications, Legal, etc., exposing me to multiple roles. 

Eventually, I began to see the bigger picture. I realized that there’s so much that goes into making a company like Gildan, and so much that goes into making a simple t-shirt!” 

– Sergio Henao, Corporate Accounting Intern

On the most rewarding part of the internship:

“I worked on many projects this summer – from writing long-form articles and creating marketing brochures, to working on social media content and updating our websites. What was really rewarding for me was taking ownership of these projects from inception to closure.

I also had the opportunity to work with stakeholders from across Gildan and build meaningful connections with marketing and communications professionals, all the while gathering valuable feedback on my projects. It was incredibly rewarding to see my projects evolve from the very beginning to the end, ultimately contributing to shaping Gildan’s narrative.”

– Gabrielle Webb, Corporate Marketing and Communications Intern

On their key takeaways from this experience:

“From technical and professional skills, to building meaningful relationships, there are so many things I have gained. In law school, I often read many court cases and doctrinal writings, but it was a completely different experience to see how law plays a role in real life. 

But more than technical skills and knowledge, my biggest takeaway is the relationships I built here. From the get-go, my supervisors and colleagues created a welcoming and supportive atmosphere, making me feel like a valuable addition to the group. I always felt comfortable asking questions, presenting my opinions, and even discussing my career progression. It was a pleasure getting to know the team and I know these relationships will go far beyond my internship here.”

– Xuan He, Legal Intern

On their most memorable moment:

“There were so many! The HR team had planned many exciting activities for us, including lunch and learns with leaders, personal branding and LinkedIn workshops, and we even got to celebrate the Company’s 40th anniversary. 

But if I had to pick, I’d choose the two lunch and learn events we had with Chuck Ward, President of Sales, Marketing, and Distribution, and Rhodri Harries, Executive Vice-President Chief Financial and Administrative Officer at Gildan. It was incredibly exciting to learn about their diverse career journeys and have the opportunity to ask them questions. Their stories gave me a lot of perspective and helped me see my own career as ever-changing and evolving.”

– Adara Mohammed, Human Resources Intern

On their favourite project:

“One of my favourite projects this summer was creating playbooks for Gildan’s HR processes. This project involved a lot of research and collaboration with stakeholders, and after weeks of work, it is very satisfying to know that these documents will act as useful resources for Gildan’s HR teams.

But what I truly loved most about this internship was the dual role I often played – I was both an intern and was heavily involved in supporting the local Montreal internship program. For instance, I helped organize many of the lunch and learn events, while attending them myself too. This dual perspective really helped me glean into the nature of HR, preparing me for my future as an HR professional.”

– Gabrielle Boulanger, Human Resources Intern

On advice for someone considering an internship at Gildan:

“To anyone considering applying for the internship program at Gildan, I’d say, ‘go for it!’ As a student from Jamaica applying for an internship in Barbados, I wasn’t sure what my chances were of being accepted to the program. And yet, here I am! Over the last two months, I’ve built long-lasting professional relationships and enhanced my skills in digital marketing which has been a huge value addition to my professional journey.

So, take it from me – apply, because it is an enriching experience to work at a global company alongside encouraging mentors and a passionate group of interns.”

– Shian Scarlett, Digital Marketing Intern
