"On World Mental Health Day, Kathy Horgan, Chief Human Resources and Citizenship Officer, reminds us that being 'always on' is NOT necessary."

Member Companies in the News

Dow and Ralph Lauren released a manual on how to improve the cotton dyeing process in a sustainable and efficient way and to encourage other textile companies to adopt this system. Ralph Lauren was the first brand to use Dow's ECOFAST Pure treatment, allowing for a partnership to encourage other companies to transform the cotton dyeing process in global supply chains. "As fashion supply chains look to recover from impacts of the pandemic, there is a critical window to build more sustainable practices into production processes,” said Mary Draves, chief sustainability officer at Dow. “By collaborating today to scale a less resource intensive dyeing process, we can help address pressing challenges, like climate change and water resiliency, in the long-term.”

PSEG announced it has joined the Business Ambition for 1.5°C and the Race to Zero campaigns, in addition to releasing its 2021 Sustainability and Climate Report. These campaigns aim to mobilize support for a zero-carbon economy and to limit warming to 1.5°C.  “As part of our vision of achieving net-zero emissions by 2030, PSEG has already made significant emissions reductions in our operations,” said PSEG Chairman, President, and CEO Ralph Izzo. “Today, we are taking the next step by joining the Race to Zero and committing to develop science-based targets to help address the worst effects of climate change, particularly for vulnerable populations.”
