The investment supports expanding the Geriatric and Special Needs Dentistry Program

WELLESLEY, Mass., Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DentaQuest, part of Sun Life U.S., today announced a $30,000 contribution to the University of Iowa College of Dentistry and Dental Clinics. The donation supports the college’s Geriatric and Special Needs Dentistry Program, which addresses complex challenges related to aging and special needs, and provides comprehensive dental services to these vulnerable populations.

This donation is DentaQuest’s most recent investment to support efforts to diversify and expand the dental workforce. The U.S. population of adults ages 65+ is growing, necessitating the need for more geriatric dental care specialists. This funding will help attract talented dental residents, preparing them to treat this underserved population and encouraging an interest in academia. The program has produced 19 graduates to date, helping to fill vacant faculty positions nationwide.

“This contribution from DentaQuest and Sun Life is an important investment in the clinicians and educators who will shape the future of geriatric and special needs dentistry,” said Dr. Leonardo Marchini, professor and Chair of the Department of Preventive and Community Dentistry at the University of Iowa. “Our residents gain experience caring for patients with complex medical and behavioral needs, and support like this allows us to expand that training and reach more individuals who rely on such oral health expertise. We are grateful for this partnership and the shared commitment to improving care for vulnerable populations.”

The program is recognized as a leader in efforts to address the growing challenge of ensuring geriatric and special needs populations have access to oral care. It is known for employing mobile dental units to deliver comprehensive care to institutionalized older adults and focusing on the community’s future oral health needs.

“Sun Life and DentaQuest are proud to support programs that strengthen care for people who often face the greatest barriers to oral health,” said Dr. Todd Gray, chief dental officer at Sun Life U.S. “The University of Iowa’s commitment to training specialists who can confidently serve older adults and individuals with unique care needs aligns with our mission to expand access to care for higher-risk communities. By helping cultivate emerging leaders and educators in this field, we’re investing in a future where more patients receive the tailored, compassionate dental care they deserve.”

Prior to this contribution, DentaQuest has supported a number of Iowa community-based non-profits including the Mission of Mercy and Focus on Diabetes. DentaQuest this year has also supported academic dentistry programs at the University of Oklahoma, Louisiana State University, and several other colleges and schools across the country.

PITTSFORD, N.Y., Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Pittsford JV and Varsity Hockey teams are proud to announce the 16th Annual Pink the Rink, a longstanding community tradition in support of the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester. This year’s event will take place on Saturday, January 31, 2026, at Tim Hortons Iceplex, as Pittsford hosts back-to-back games against the Fairport Red Raiders, beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Both teams will incorporate pink into their game-day attire as a visible show of solidarity with those affected by breast and gynecologic cancers. Net proceeds from the evening will be donated directly to the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester, continuing a tradition rooted in awareness, compassion, and community impact.

Ticket information

• General Admission Tickets: $5
• T-Shirt: $20

Ticket Sales:

• Digital tickets on sale Monday January 19th at Pink the Rink Digital Tickets

Since its inception in 2010, Pink the Rink has become a signature event for Pittsford Hockey, raising more than $121,000 to support local individuals and families navigating cancer. What began as a simple idea has grown into one of the most anticipated nights of the hockey season, bringing together players, families, sponsors, and fans for a meaningful cause.

The event was originally inspired by Celeste Frohm, a Friends of Pittsford Hockey Board Member, after watching her son participate in a similar fundraiser while playing collegiate hockey at the State University of New York at Fredonia. Her vision to combine the energy of high school hockey with community-driven philanthropy continues to shape the event more than a decade later.

All proceeds directly benefit the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester.

Pink the Rink is more than a hockey event — it is a reminder of the power of sport to unite a community in support of something bigger than the game.

The Pittsford Hockey community invites fans, sponsors, and supporters to join them on January 31st as they look to make the 16th Annual Pink the Rink the most impactful one yet.

• Honda U.S. sales headquarters is the first Honda site in North America to achieve CarbonNeutral® building Certification
• Southern California campus reduces annual emissions by over 2,000 metric tons
• Corporate campus in Torrance, Calif., is the first Honda “Innovation Site” driving new approaches to reduce CO₂ emissions and other environmental impacts
• Additional initiatives to reduce other environmental impacts include enhanced waste sorting and water-saving upgrades

TORRANCE, Calif., Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — American Honda Motor Co., Inc. today announced that it has achieved CarbonNeutral® building Certification at its U.S. sales headquarters in Torrance, California, marking an important milestone toward the company’s broader goal of decarbonizing its products and operations. The Torrance campus is also the first Honda Innovation Site in North America, designated as a proving ground for technologies and processes that could eventually be scaled across Honda operations to further reduce environmental impact.

The achievement of carbon neutrality for Scope 1 direct business activity emissions and Scope 2 indirect emissions from energy use is certified by Climate Impact Partners, which evaluated and assured Honda decarbonization and offsetting initiatives in accordance with The CarbonNeutral Protocol. Learn how Honda achieved the CarbonNeutral® building Certification and reduced other environmental impacts in this video: https://honda.us/CarbonNeutral.

The American Honda Torrance campus spans 101 acres and employs 2,400 associates. It serves as the company’s U.S. sales headquarters and includes product design studios, a parts distribution center, a data center and other operations.

“Achieving CarbonNeutral® building Certification at our U.S. sales headquarters establishes a blueprint for our Honda Innovation Site concept, helping accelerate the decarbonization of Honda operations across North America,” said James Reeves, director of Sustainability Strategy at American Honda Motor Co., Inc. “Our Honda campus in Torrance demonstrates how renewable energy and smart building upgrades can deliver measurable carbon reductions while fostering a culture where every associate contributes to our company’s environmental goals.”

Honda Innovation Site Initiatives
Honda has reduced annual carbon emissions at its Innovation Site by more than 2,000 metric tons through on-site upgrades and an additional 2,600 metric tons through renewable energy initiatives. Residual emissions have been offset through the purchase of verified carbon credits. The following initiatives contributed to Honda earning the CarbonNeutral® building Certification: 

• On-site solar generation: The campus operates one of Southern California’s largest on-site solar arrays, producing 3,300 megawatt hours (MWh) annually to supply 22% of its power requirements.
• Energy-efficient lighting: Electricity use is reduced through 100% use of LED fixtures and light sensors.
• Heating and cooling efficiency: Improvements to the heating and cooling water distribution loop reduce energy consumption.
• Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (VPPA): A portion of a 120-megawatt VPPA adds clean energy to the grid, addressing an additional 2,600 metric tons of emissions.
• Carbon offsets: Compensating for emissions that cannot yet be eliminated, high-quality carbon credits – resulting in 1,800 metric tons of soil carbon removals – were purchased to reduce emissions through regenerative agriculture practices.

In addition to achieving carbon neutrality, the Torrance Innovation Site has implemented several initiatives that the company will seek to replicate at other Honda sites to advance the company’s broader environmental goals, including:

• Waste diversion: Enhanced recycling systems, including waste sorting in cafeterias with composting and eliminating single-use plastic water bottles, divert an average of 95% of campus waste from landfills annually.
• Water conservation: Water-saving upgrades, including motion-activated faucets and efficient drip irrigation systems, significantly reduce water use.
• Biodiversity: A new pollinator garden increases biodiversity by creating habitats for birds, bees and butterflies while offering associates a space to reconnect with nature.
• Associate engagement: Honda associates are actively reducing the environmental impact of the Torrance Innovation Site by proposing new conservation initiatives, participating in campus engagement programs, supporting waste sorting practices, and cataloging bird, insect and flower species flourishing on campus.

Reducing Scope 3 Emissions Through Product and Supply Chain Transformation
To reduce Scope 3 emissions from customer use of products and supplier operations, Honda is transforming its products and value chain. Honda continues to pursue its goal of making battery-electric and fuel cell-electric vehicles represent 100% of its global vehicle sales by 2040 while also developing a circular value chain that recovers materials from end-of-life products for reuse across Honda’s supply chain. These actions, combined with clean energy initiatives and collaboration with Honda suppliers to cut their emissions, help accelerate progress toward the company’s global decarbonization goals.

Learn more about Honda’s efforts to reduce emissions and advance decarbonization of its products and operations at https://honda.com/environment.

About the Honda Commitment to the Environment
Based on its longstanding commitment to the environment, Honda is working to reduce the environmental impact of its products and operations in three critical action areas: decarbonization, reducing CO₂ emissions from all products and corporate activities; clean energy, using carbon-free energy sources; and resource circularity, maximizing the use of recycled and biomass materials, and converting end-of-life products back into raw materials for reuse in the supply chain.

Honda is striving to make battery-electric and fuel cell-electric vehicles represent 100% of auto sales globally by 2040, with a near-term focus on increasing sales of hybrid-electric vehicles, while also beginning the electrification of Honda powersports and power equipment product lineups. To reduce the environmental impact of its business operations, Honda is sourcing renewable energy to address CO₂ emissions from its North American operations through long-term virtual power purchase agreements (VPPAs) for carbon-free wind and solar power that cover more than 80% of the electricity Honda uses in North America.

Honda efforts also focus on decarbonization of its operations, including offices, warehouses, and manufacturing facilities and supporting its suppliers and independent dealerships across North America in their decarbonization efforts through the Honda Green Excellence Academy and Honda Environmental Leadership Program, respectively.

About Climate Impact Partners
Climate Impact Partners is the trusted partner for organizations taking ambitious climate action. With 27+ years of experience, they’ve helped leading businesses reduce more than 150 million tons of CO₂e, turning climate ambition into measurable results.

They deliver high-quality carbon market solutions: developing and financing impactful projects, managing carbon credit and energy attribute certificate portfolios, and helping companies put a price on carbon to drive change. 

By connecting corporates, governments, innovators, and project partners, they accelerate investment in climate solutions that deliver verified impact and advance progress toward net-zero goals.

About CarbonNeutral® certification
CarbonNeutral® certification was created and is managed by Climate ImpactPartners. It was the first clear set of guidelines for businesses to achieve carbon neutrality back in 2002, and every year since then Climate Impact Partners has continued its commitment to providing a robust framework for clear, transparent and high-quality technical carbon neutral action. The CarbonNeutral Protocol is a publicly available document that sets out the requirements for companies to achieve CarbonNeutral® certification. It is updated annually with input from an Advisory Council of external experts to ensure it reflects the latest industry and scientific best practice.

The expansion comes at a critical time when families across Arizona and the nation as a whole are seeking alternatives to traditional treatment settings. Artemis Adolescent Healing Center provides a therapeutic environment that balances structure with the flexibility adolescents need to explore their identities and develop healthy coping mechanisms. The center’s approach emphasizes building confidence, fostering self-awareness, and equipping teens with practical tools they can apply beyond their time in treatment.

Envision doubles down on the renewable energy system with its launch of Dubhe, an energy foundation model shaping the AI energy system.

ABU DHABI, UAE, Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Envision, the global leader in green technology, today announced the launch of Dubhe, its groundbreaking Energy Foundation Model, designed to shape the world’s largest Physical AI system – the AI energy system.

Inspired by Dubhe, the guiding star of the Big Dipper that has helped humanity navigate by the North Star for thousands of years, the Dubhe Energy Foundation Model was unveiled by Lei Zhang, Founder and CEO of Envision, during the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week.

Dubhe sits at the core of Envision’s Physical AI architecture, analysing vast real-world energy data streams to orchestrate renewable generation, storage, grids, and demand in real time. By unlocking the abundance of renewable resources and driving costs toward near-zero marginal levels, Dubhe enables energy systems to scale in step with AI—addressing the unprecedented energy demands that AI places on global infrastructure.

“For centuries, Dubhe guided humanity through the night sky. Today, Dubhe is the guiding star of the AI era—shaping the AI energy system with a foundation that is infinite, intelligent, and inexpensive, supporting the prosperity of a new civilization.” Says Lei.

Shaping the AI Energy System: From Large Language Models to Physical Artificial Intelligence

While large language models have transformed the digital world, Envision believes the next leap lies in Physical Artificial Intelligence—AI that directly governs the physical systems essential to human survival and prosperity.

Dubhe works in tandem with Tianji, Envision’s large-scale weather foundation model. Because renewable energy depends on weather, Tianji provides the predictive intelligence that allows Physical AI to anticipate and respond to weather-driven variability, ensuring the energy system operates efficiently and reliably at scale.

“Language models understand words. Physical AI understands the world. Energy is the foundation of all systems.” Says Lei. “This isn’t just an energy transition. It’s a civilizational upgrade, laying the foundation for human prosperity within planetary boundaries.”

Strategic Partnership with Masdar to Advance AI Energy System Deployment

Envision also signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Masdar, the UAE’s clean energy champion, to jointly unveil the future-oriented AI Energy System.The signing was witnessed by HE Dr Sultan Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, ADNOC Managing Director and Group CEO, Masdar Chairman, together with Lei Zhang.

Under the agreement, Masdar recognizes Envision as a strategic partner in renewable energy technology sectors, including wind power, energy storage, and green hydrogen, to jointly advance the large-scale deployment of AI energy systems and accelerate the global energy transition.
