Spotlight on You

Point32Health Foundation President Nora Moreno Cargie was honored by the National Council on Aging with the Trailblazer Change Agent Award, for centering social justice and racial equity in all her work. “I am humbled by this recognition—it strengthens my resolve to continue to be a disrupter, to work vigilantly toward eliminating the racism and bias embedded in our systems, and to follow community in identifying solutions to the issues that matter to them,” Moreno Cargie said.

Peter Tavernise, climate impact and regeneration lead, Cisco, wrote in the company's blog about how the Cisco Foundation invests in climate change solutions. In the post, he lays out the foundation’s 10-year, $100 million strategy that focuses on early-stage solutions; diversified, blended finance approaches; and respect for natural systems and regeneration. "Currently, less than two percent of philanthropic dollars go toward addressing climate change. Investment capital for innovative solutions that could reduce carbon emissions that lead to global warming is inadequate as well," says Tavernise. "The Cisco Foundation can play a role in filling this funding gap."

Member Companies in the News.

Congratulations to the member companies that released ESG reports! Please join us in celebrating their milestones:

Enbridge Inc. published its 21st annual Sustainability Report, offering stakeholders information about the company's continuous improvement in areas of environment, social, and governance (ESG) performance. “All of us across the Enbridge team continue to look forward, building a bridge to a cleaner energy future and embracing the opportunity to deliver today’s energy needs while we build a stronger foundation for the future,” said Al Monaco, president and CEO, Enbridge Inc.

FedEx released its 2021 Delivering For Good report, which covers highlights from a year of corporate efforts to assist with shipments of critical goods and respond in times of disaster. In total, FedEx shipped $89.6 million worth of goods via 82,000 shipments to nonprofit programs doing good around the world. Among these shipments were supplies of clean water for Vietnam after a devastating typhoon, 2 million face masks to India in the midst of a COVID-19 outbreak, and children’s books from the Smithsonian to address potential gaps in learning during the pandemic.

Fifth Third Bank published its 2021 Environmental, Social and Governance Report, which provides updates and progress on the bank’s ESG strategy and priorities for all stakeholders, including customers, employees, communities, investors, and regulators. The report includes, among other updates, progress reports of actions taken under Fifth Third’s five Board-approved ESG priorities: addressing climate change; promoting inclusion and diversity; delivering on commitment to employees; keeping the customer at the center; and strengthening communities.

Texas Instruments published its 2021 Corporate Citizenship Report. The report describes TI’s commitment to being a good corporate citizen, acting on its environmental, social, and governance and sustainability priorities. “Our ambitions are foundational to ensuring that we operate in a sustainable, socially thoughtful, and environmentally responsible manner,” said Rich Templeton, chairman, president, and CEO, Texas Instruments. “When we are successful in achieving these ambitions, our employees, customers, communities and shareholders all win.”
