KANSAS CITY, Mo. and CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Watson Links, the nonprofit youth golf mentoring organization founded by eight-time major champion Tom Watson, today announced a new partnership with Bank of America as part of Golf with Us, which aims to make golf more accessible while strengthening communities through the power of sport.

Established by Bank of America in collaboration with Youth on Course, Golf with Us introduces more young people to the game through affordable opportunities to play, instructional clinics and continued development, and local partnerships. In 2026, Watson Links will join the growing Golf with Us ecosystem by adding mentor-led golf experiences that help junior players build confidence, knowledge of the game and life-readiness skills alongside caring, vetted adult golfers.

Through the partnership, Bank of America becomes Watson Links’ Champion Partner, providing critical support that helps expand golf mentoring opportunities, fund new on-course experiences, and increase access to golf for kids and teens of all skill levels nationwide.

Founded in 2021, Watson Links pairs junior golfers—typically ages 10–18—with adult golf mentors for nine-hole rounds designed to drive fun, teach golf etiquette, and develop important social and life-readiness skills. These free mentor-driven experiences help remove some of the barriers young players face—course access, cost, and lack of guidance—while creating lasting connections between generations of golfers.

“One of the best ways to learn something new—or master a skill—is with the help of a mentor,” shared Tom Watson, founder of Watson Links. “Our partnership with Bank of America through Golf with Us will help give junior golfers more access and on-course opportunities. Playing alongside mentors will help develop life skills like confidence and resilience and a love of the game while fostering meaningful connections that benefit both juniors and adults.”

The key ingredient in Watson Links experiences are golf mentors —caring adults who bring encouragement, perspective, and real-world wisdom that apply both on and off the golf course. These rounds can benefit highly skilled junior golfers as well as those who are newer to the game. Golf mentors are players of all skill levels who share a passion for the game and serve as positive role models for the next generation. Adult golfers do not have to be major champions to make a major impact in their communities.

“Last year, Golf with Us helped nearly 100,000 young people – including many first-time golfers – experience the transformative power of the sport,” said Michele Barlow, Head of Enterprise Marketing, Bank of America. “Together with Watson Links, we can increase access and opportunity for more young people while mentors integrate the valuable skills that drive success on and off the course.”

In 2025, 1,153 junior golfers and mentors participated in Watson Links mentoring rounds across 21 U.S. markets. In 2026, the organization will bring free golf mentoring experiences to thousands more young players.

GLASGOW, Scotland, March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Star Refrigeration has been named Supplier of the Year 2026 at the Cold Chain Sustainability Awards, recognising its work to reduce environmental impact across the temperature-controlled logistics sector.

The award was announced at the Cold Chain Climate & Energy Summit on 19 March 2026, hosted by BBC Climate Editor Justin Rowlatt, who led the event and shared insights into the challenges facing the cold chain as it works towards net zero. Rowlatt has previously covered the sector through the BBC documentary series ‘What They Really Mean for You’, which featured Star Refrigeration’s partnership with Tesco at its Avonmouth distribution centre, showcasing the role of data-led optimisation in improving energy performance and reducing emissions.

At the event, Star was also recognised for 30 years of membership with the Cold Chain Federation and named a finalist in the Sustainable Partnership Project category for its work with Tesco at its Peterborough distribution centre, where a compressor failure prompted a data-led reassessment of cooling demand and a more efficient long-term solution.

Organised by the Cold Chain Federation, the awards celebrate businesses and individuals across the storage and distribution of chilled and frozen food, pharmaceuticals and other temperature-sensitive products, highlighting those leading progress towards a more sustainable cold chain.

Dr Rob Lamb, Group Sales and Marketing Director at Star Refrigeration, said:
“We are delighted to have been named Supplier of the Year 2026. This recognition reflects the work taking place across the business to reduce environmental impact and support customers in lowering both energy use and total cost of ownership.

“Being recognised as a finalist for our partnership with Tesco also highlights the strength of long-term collaboration in delivering improvements in efficiency and performance across the industry. It was also an honour to be recognised for 30 years of membership with the Cold Chain Federation, which continues to play an important role in bringing the industry together and sharing best practice”.

The Supplier of the Year category recognises organisations that demonstrate a clear commitment to reducing their own emissions while supporting customers to decarbonise.

Star focuses on long-term performance, combining engineering, data and operational insight to deliver measurable reductions in energy use and carbon emissions. Its corporate sustainability strategy aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and is governed through an ISO 14001-certified Environmental Management system, with a Plan–Do–Check–Act system supporting continuous improvement.

In line with Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) requirements, Star continues to reduce its operational emissions through initiatives including the transition to an electric vehicle fleet, an employee EV salary sacrifice scheme, expanded on-site solar PV generation and improved waste management practices.

The company’s greatest impact, however, lies in the performance of the systems it delivers. Its Azanechiller range exceeds minimum energy performance standards by up to 110% and can achieve electricity savings of up to 52% compared with European EcoDesign benchmarks.

In 2025, Star installed approximately 10 MW of high-efficiency, low-charge ammonia and CO₂ systems across customer sites, delivering an estimated 2,500 tonnes of CO₂e savings compared to baseline standards. Its AI-led optimisation platform, Ethos, now supports more than 100 sites, delivering around 14,000 MWh of annual energy savings, equivalent to approximately 2,448 tonnes of CO₂e avoided each year.

The company also continues to invest in its people, recognising the link between environmental and social sustainability. Employees benefit from a competitive, regularly benchmarked package, alongside continued investment in training, development and wellbeing. This is reflected in its Investors in People (Platinum) and Investors in Young People (Gold) accreditations.

Apprenticeship, graduate and internship programmes remain a key focus, including a term-time internship model introduced to attract emerging talent. The scheme allows students to gain practical experience alongside their studies, with National Living Wage pay and a £2,000 bursary, equating to around £10,000 annually. Supported by a structured five-level engineering development pathway aligned with recognised qualifications, these programmes are helping to build the next generation of engineers required to deliver low-carbon refrigeration and heating services.

This long-term investment has helped build deep technical expertise across the business, with knowledge retained and shared over time. With an average employee tenure of 15 years, that experience is embedded within the organisation, enabling teams to employ proven solutions and continuously improve performance across customer sites.

Star Refrigeration also continues to work closely with customers to reduce emissions through a combination of efficient design, data-led optimisation, whole life performance improvements and circular economy engineering. This includes refurbishing and repurposing equipment to avoid unnecessary manufacturing and waste, as well as supporting customers in making informed decisions on whether to optimise, upgrade or replace assets based on total cost of ownership.

This approach was recognised in the company’s finalist nomination in the Sustainable Partnership Project category for its collaboration with Tesco at the retailer’s Peterborough distribution centre. At the site, a compressor fault became an opportunity to improve energy performance and reduce emissions.

Following the failure of a 2.2MW fixed-speed compressor at the site, the conventional industry response would have been a direct like-for-like replacement. Instead, Star Refrigeration reassessed the site’s cooling requirements, taking a lifecycle view of the refrigeration plant.

Analysis of historical performance data, real-time operational insights and digital twin modelling found that the plant’s original design cooling capacity was more than double the site’s peak summer demand, leaving the large fixed-speed screw compressors operating inefficiently at part load for much of the year.

The study identified a lower-capacity variable speed drive (VSD) compressor as the most technically robust and commercially viable solution, better matched to the site’s actual cooling demand.

Dan McDougall, Key Account Manager – Technical Sales at Star Refrigeration, said:

“We are proud that our collaboration with Tesco has also been recognised at the Cold Chain Sustainability Awards 2026.

“We’re grateful to the team at Tesco for their trust and backing our evidence based recommendation to upgrade the compressor. The long-term gains in energy efficiency, environmental impact and system performance made it the right decision for the future”.

“We’ve built a strong partnership with Tesco over decades, delivering substantial improvements year after year. Sustaining that progress requires continuous performance optimisation, strong operational support and, above all, trust that is built on transparency and a shared vision.”

In 2025, Star Refrigeration was also named Manufacturer of the Year (£25m+) at the Made in Scotland Awards, providing further recognition of its continued investment in innovation, operational performance and sustainable growth.

These awards highlight Star Refrigeration’s focus on delivering measurable carbon and energy reductions, both within its own operations and through the solutions it delivers across the cold chain.

While tech giants push AI literacy, some of the country’s lowest-performing states are already using AI to solve the literacy crisis — and seeing real results

SAN FRANCISCO, March 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On National AI Literacy Day, Amira Learning (Amira), the learning agent combining the Science of Reading and AI to deliver proven student reading growth, is calling on leaders across technology and education to reconsider the rush to AI literacy and focus first on the literacy crisis already in front of them. With less than a third of U.S. 4th graders reading at grade level, the push to teach students how to use AI risks widening the very gaps it promises to close.

Tech giants like Google, Microsoft and OpenAI are urging schools to teach AI literacy but for millions of kids who still can’t read at grade level, AI literacy is a luxury. The tech industry has repeatedly pushed society to adapt — from learning to use computers and navigate the internet to mastering social media, mobile devices, and virtual reality. This time, the rush risks missing a more fundamental challenge: students need reading literacy before AI literacy can matter.

“AI literacy is a great idea — for students who can already read. For the millions who can’t, it’s just another way the gap widens,” said Amy Scholz, COO of Amira Learning. “The question we should be asking isn’t how do we teach kids about AI — it’s how do we use AI to make sure every student, regardless of background, gets the foundation they need to be strong, confident readers.”

Some of the country’s lowest-performing states in reading scores aren’t waiting. Louisiana and Oklahoma have deployed Amira statewide, and districts across all 50 states are using the award-winning learning agent to help more students reach reading proficiency. Rather than widening gaps by concentrating AI tools in already well-resourced schools, Amira’s proven approach uses AI to extend the reach of trained educators and deliver 1:1 reading practice with microinterventions and real-time feedback at scale. Students reading with Amira for just 30 minutes per week gain an average of nine extra weeks of growth during a standard 36-week school year — progress that independent studies show time and again.

“The most powerful thing AI can do right now is solve the foundational literacy crisis, not add another skill on top of it,” said Scholz.

Amira is calling on superintendents, chief academic officers, and state education leaders to make a critical distinction: not all AI is created equal. The real opportunity isn’t teaching students about AI — it’s deploying agentic AI that is purpose-built, scientifically grounded, data privacy and designed to extend the reach of educators to every student in every classroom nationwide.

About Amira Learning
As the leader in agentic learning, Amira Learning champions every student to becoming a proficient reader. It makes this promise a reality with Amira, the first Learning Agent for Reading Growth,.^TM Developed from 30 years of neuroscience research out of Carnegie Mellon University, and expertise in the Science of Reading and AI, Amira is every district’s catalyst, creating coherence across assessment instruction and tutoring, and executing the district’s unique literacy vision from strategy to high-fidelity implementation in every classroom. Independent studies show time and again that Amira is proven to work; students reading with Amira at dosage experience measurable gains. Amira serves 5 million K-8 students worldwide and growing every day. Visit www.amiralearning.com to learn more.
