<img alt="three people doing yoga pose on a rooftop, tall buildings around them" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0ca768bf-3b62-4c15-ad07-dc3c91f93e19" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/meditatesmall_peloton_071322.jpeg" width="640" class="align-center" height="853" loading="lazy" />With the goal of making the best fitness experience more accessible, last year Peloton launched <a href="https://www.onepeloton.com/corporate-wellness" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Peloton Corporate Wellness</a> - enabling businesses, organizations and payors the unique opportunity to provide the Peloton experience as a benefit to their employees and members. Since then, over 50 leading organizations across various industries - such as health, technology, legal, retail and professional services - have invested in Peloton Corporate Wellness to increase employee engagement and retention, cultivate a culture that prioritizes physical and mental wellbeing, and create a sense of belonging within the ever-evolving workplace.

“We’re excited to reach the one year milestone for Peloton Corporate Wellness,” said Cassidy Rouse, Senior Vice President of Business Development and GM of Peloton Corporate Wellness. “We created this product to help people live happier, healthier and more balanced lives and have been encouraged by the positive feedback from clients and their employees. We look forward to expanding our Corporate Wellness footprint in the years to come.”

In May, Peloton surveyed Members enrolled through Peloton Corporate Wellness to better understand the impact on their mental and physical wellbeing, as well as work performance – and the results were astounding. Ninety percent of these Members ranked Peloton Corporate Wellness as one of the top three benefits offered by their employer - ranking above financial wellness (52%), and mental health and therapy offerings (47%) - highlighting Peloton’s influence within and outside the workplace.

Offsetting Burnout

Employee mental health continues to be a major challenge in the workplace. Findings from our May survey show that since the Peloton benefit was introduced in their workplace, 89% of Members have seen reduced burnout, stating they can manage stress more effectively. Nearly all respondents (97%) noted their wellbeing has been improved, while 93% have a more positive mindset, and 89% feel both calmer and more relaxed.

Increased Productivity

The Peloton Members surveyed have experienced an overall boost in productivity at work with 81% feeling more focused throughout their day. An overwhelming number of respondents have experienced an overall feeling of efficiency and achievement, with 92% having a greater sense of accomplishment, and 90% having more energy throughout the day.

Everyone’s motivations, fitness levels and workout location preferences differ, and through the Peloton App, Members are able to personalize their wellness journey to meet their needs. Nearly 80% of surveyed Members report working out more after joining Peloton, and over 70% ranked the flexibility of Peloton’s offering as the most impactful in building their healthier habits. Reinforcing the need for flexible wellness benefits, over 85% of respondents report taking time out of their work day (between 9 AM-5 PM) to prioritize their physical and mental wellness.

Created a Sense of Connection

Building and cultivating culture is difficult even in an in-person setting, and within a hybrid or fully remote workplace it has become increasingly difficult. Surveyed Members reported using the Peloton benefit as a way to stay connected with colleagues and have a sense of community. Thirty percent of surveyed Members noted using Peloton to network and feel more connected to their coworkers, and over a third (34%) report using their company Leaderboard tag.

At its core, Peloton Corporate Wellness offers much more than just fitness – it encourages convenient access to mental and physical wellness; it’s an outlet, a mood booster, a break in the day, and a productivity catalyst. Peloton remains steadfast in making it easier for new and existing Members to engage with a best-in-class fitness experience by providing Peloton Corporate Wellness to organizations across various industries and sizes.

The addition of the steel bulk bins to the <a href="https://www.rppcontainers.com/Duragreen-Bulk-Containers" target="_blank">DuraGreen</a> line of bulk containers expands the line's ability to offer an extended-length bulk bin with extreme weight capacities.

Dan Jakubiak, Vice President of Business Development at <a href="https://www.rppcontainers.com/" target="_blank">RPP Containers</a>, said, "The <a href="https://www.rppcontainers.com/CustomBulk-Containers" target="_blank">CustomBulk</a> engineers and designers at RPP Containers receive hundreds of unique packaging challenges each year. Our team designs and builds the industry's best custom bulk container solutions. Occasionally, applications require lengths and weight capacities that exceed those of plastic bins. Having inventory on hand of <a href="https://www.rppcontainers.com/metal-heavy-duty-steel-bulk-bins" target="_blank">DuraGreen steel bulk bins</a> in extended lengths and stated capacities of 4000 lbs will ensure that we have the ideal packaging solution for our customers, in stock and ready to ship. <a href="https://www.rppcontainers.com/metal-heavy-duty-steel-bulk-bins" target="_blank">DuraGreen steel bulk bins</a> complement our product line and enhance customer experience."

<a href="https://www.rppcontainers.com/metal-heavy-duty-steel-bulk-bins" target="_blank">DuraGreen steel bins</a> deliver capacities of 4000 lbs, which is advantageous when the project has weight requirements that exceed those of plastic bins. Traditional extended-length bulk containers have reduced weight capacities, but that is not the case with <a href="https://www.rppcontainers.com/metal-heavy-duty-steel-bulk-bins" target="_blank">DuraGreen steel bulk bins</a>.

DuraGreen steel bulk bins are available in two sizes, <a href="https://www.rppcontainers.com/metal-heavy-duty-steel-bulk-bins/63x48x34-heavy-duty-metal-bulk-bin" target="_blank">64 x 48 x 34</a> and <a href="https://www.rppcontainers.com/metal-heavy-duty-steel-bulk-bins/78x48x26-heavy-duty-metal-bulk-bin" target="_blank">78 x 48 x 26</a>, with additional sizes available with short lead times.

As AMF’s largest fundraising event of the season, the event itself raised gross contributions of over $937,000 with Mets Owners Steve and Alex Cohen matching those proceeds through the Steven &amp; Alexandra Cohen Foundation.

Attendees enjoyed Citi Field culinary favorites, games and activities, a fireworks show, and chances to bid on unique memorabilia and experiences as part of the Amazin’ Auction.

In its inaugural year, AMF funded $1.6 million in grants for 60 different organizations. This season, the Foundation plans to fund over $2 million in grants to help those in need.

Kimberly-Clark Corporation published its annual report on sustainability, including an update on the company's progress toward its 2030 sustainability strategy and goals, aimed at addressing the social and environmental challenges of the next decade with goals to improve the lives and well-being of 1 billion people in underserved communities around the world and reducing its environmental footprint.

“As Kimberly-Clark continues to grow our business, caring for our people, consumers, customers, partners and communities remains front and center,” said Mike Hsu, Chairman and CEO, Kimberly-Clark. “From our commitment to climate stewardship and our efforts to develop more sustainable solutions for our product portfolio to our focus on inclusion and diversity and our ambition to advance the well-being of 1 billion people around the world, we’ll continue to drive positive impact as we create long-term value for our shareholders. That’s how we deliver Better Care for a Better World.”

Key highlights of the company’s 2021 results include:

<ul><li>Social Impact – Kimberly-Clark and its brands continued to deliver toward the goal to improve the well-being of 1 billion people in underserved communities by 2030 through programs like Toilets Change Lives, No Baby Unhugged and the Kotex® She Can initiative, as well as through partnerships with the Kimberly-Clark Foundation, and NGOs including Water For People, WaterAid and Plan International. In 2021, Kimberly-Clark advanced the well-being of 15.7 million people in vulnerable and underserved communities, raising our total to 41.4 million people since 2015.</li>
	<li>Climate – Consistent with the world’s enhanced climate action commitments coming out of COP26, the company made progress against ambitious targets approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for reducing our Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 50% and our Scope 3 emissions by 20% – all by 2030. As of the end of 2021, Kimberly-Clark achieved nearly a 41% reduction in operational emissions (Scope 1 and 2) versus our 2015 base year. For Scope 3 GHG emissions, we achieved a 6.3% GHG emissions reduction from a 2015 base year, with a focus on purchased goods and services and end-of-life treatment of sold products.</li>
	<li>Forests – The company made continued progress toward its goal of sourcing 90% of our tissue fiber from environmentally preferred fiber sources. In 2021, Kimberly-Clark achieved 87% environmentally preferred fiber use globally, primarily by increasing our procurement of virgin wood fiber certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) (63%) as well as recycled fiber (24%) for our tissue products.</li>
	<li>Plastics – Kimberly-Clark continued its work to explore more sustainable, commercially viable and scalable alternatives to fossil fuel-based plastics. In 2021, the company doubled the percentage of recycled content in our plastics packaging, and it further increased the amount of packaging globally that is reusable, recyclable, or compostable to nearly 84%, as it strives for 100% by 2025.</li>
	<li>Water – In 2021, Kimberly-Clark achieved a 34% reduction of water consumption in water-stressed regions against our 2015 baseline, of which 1.4% occurred in the last year, driven by our strategic approach to water management, which centers around technological innovation for circular solutions and best-in-class management systems.</li>
	<li>Inclusion and Diversity – Kimberly-Clark continued to foster a culture of inclusion that recognizes, values and celebrates the diverse perspectives of our team. Among other pillars of our strategy, the past year focused on leveraging leadership to drive inclusion and diversity with initiatives including educating team leaders through our Activating Inclusive Leadership Lab to build high-performing, inclusive and diverse teams.</li>
	<li>Health and Safety – As the world continued to navigate through the global COVID-19 pandemic, the company prioritized the health and safety of our people with global protocols that often exceeded local requirements. A number of sites provided preventive programs, including free on-site testing, vaccination clinics for employees and family members as well as training and education.</li>
</ul>“Our purpose of Better Care for a Better World is our call to action, challenging us to help billions of people through greater access to life’s daily essentials while building on our past successes, scaling our use of efficient new technologies, and delivering solutions that address the challenges facing our planet in the decade ahead,” said Lisa Morden, Vice President of Safety, Sustainability and Occupational Health, Kimberly-Clark. “We will remain steadfast in our efforts to reach our goals because we believe it’s the best way to care for the people we serve, it’s the right thing to do for our planet, and it helps us deliver on our purpose.”

In addition to the report, the company has provided enhanced ESG-related content on its <a href="https://www.kimberly-clark.com/esg" target="_blank">website</a> in order to provide more primary information about its overall strategy, progress and achievements, and make it easier for stakeholders to find the information that is most relevant to them.

“As its reporting format continues to evolve, Kimberly-Clark’s commitment to acting with care for people, communities, and the planet remains resolute,” added Morden. “In addition, maintaining transparency in our ESG disclosures in order to engender the trust of our investors, customers, consumers, employees, local communities, and other stakeholders remains paramount.”

Kimberly-Clark’s annual sustainability report and accompanying disclosures portray the company’s progress through stories that highlight our work around the world as well as key data and metrics prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Sustainability Reporting Standards “Core” level. The reporting covers the time frame of January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021. For more information on the topics in this report, please visit the sustainability page on Kimberly-Clark.com.

But many people may not know about <a href="https://www.plasticfreejuly.org/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Plastic Free July</a>, an international campaign to reduce plastic use during this month. What began in 2011 in a small town in Western Australia has ballooned into a global phenomenon, with an estimated 140 million participants from over 190 countries.

Here at Cisco, we are working on our own education campaign around Plastic Free July, encouraging employees to learn more about the plastic crisis and take concrete action to reduce their plastic impact for the month. The hope is that action taken over a month-long period can inspire a lifelong shift away from plastic.

But why is plastic a problem? After all, many individuals recycle at home and on the go.

The problem with plastic

<a href="https://ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">The Ellen MacArthur Foundation</a>, a leading circular economy foundation, estimates that only 14 percent of plastic packaging is collected for recycling. And once received at a recycling plant, only five percent of that material value can be upcycled into another product.

This lack of recyclability is by design. Most plastic packaging is designed to be exclusively single-use, think of the plastic cellophane commonly wrapped around produce, or the stiff plastic on electronic items. Those common bits of plastic have no inherent value and are often missorted into residential recycling bins in what the industry calls “wish-cycling.” Wish-cycling is putting items into the recycling bin and hoping they are recyclable. Contaminating the waste stream with un-recyclable materials burdens the waste industry with additional costs (sorting, labor, repair to machinery) and has contributed to the decreased value of recycling markets.

Cisco’s take on Plastic Free July

Armed with this knowledge, our Plastic Free July campaign on Cisco’s internal platform, Cisco Greenhouse, encourages employees to take baby steps to reduce the amount of plastic in their lives. Below are some of the most common and impactful actions taken thus far:

<ul><li>Use reusable bags at the market and grocery store. When looking to reduce plastic, it is helpful to see where the most plastic appears in your life. For many of us, this happens at the grocery store and market with pre-packaged food. Next time you are shopping, bring your own bag to carry home your goods, and try and purchase items that don’t come pre-wrapped in plastic.</li>
	<li>Try a bar of soap instead of pump soap or shower gel. This easy change can also save you money. Pump soap and shower gel often contain high amount of water pre-added to their solutions. Bar soap, on the other hand, is basically soap concentrate and can last equally as long as the diluted alternatives. There are even bar shampoos and conditioners!</li>
	<li>Bring a reusable water bottle on-the-go. Instead of purchasing a large pack of single-use water bottles, invest in a nice metal, glass, or bamboo water bottle. Not only will you reduce the amount of waste you are producing, but you can also look stylish and sustainable at the same time.</li>
	<li>Just Say “No.” Much of our plastic waste can be avoided by refusing it in the first place. If you forget your reusable bag at the market, try carrying the items if you are able to versus accepting the plastic bag provided by your grocer. Similarly, when you get take-out, refuse the pre-packaged cutlery that often comes with your order. Refusing plastic is an easy way to begin cutting down on the amount of plastic both produced and polluted.</li>
</ul>With just over a week left in the month, I challenge you to try to adopt one of the actions above into your daily life.

Global power technology leader Cummins Inc. has been named a Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion in 2022.

Cummins received <a href="https://www.cummins.com/news/2022/07/22/cummins-named-2022-best-place-work-disability-inclusion" target="_blank">this distinction</a> by achieving a top score of 100 on the Disability Equality Index, a comprehensive benchmarking tool that helps companies build a roadmap of measurable, tangible actions they can take to achieve disability inclusion and equality.

“We use this opportunity to help inform our disability inclusion strategy, to measure our progress against a globally recognized standard and to more effectively attract and retain valuable talent from a historically underutilized workforce," said Dennis Heathfield, Executive Director, Inclusion, People with Disabilities and Veterans. He also serves as Disability Inclusion Initiative Leader at Cummins.

“Through education, strategic partnerships, and financial investment toward improving the accessibility of our technology and facilities, Cummins strives to become an employer of choice for people with disabilities and to work in our communities to reduce barriers to employment for people with disabilities,” Heathfield added.

Cummins has a deep history of commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. The company’s Global Disability Inclusion Initiative aims to create accessible, inclusive workplaces where people with disabilities are enabled to fulfill their potential.

The company was ranked No. 4 on Forbes’ 2022 Best Companies for Diversity list based on workforce and board diversity and a survey of employees with workforces of at least 1,000 employees. Cummins was also rated a 2022 Best Place to work for LGBTQ+ Equality by the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index. The company has received a perfect score on every index since 2005.

The Disability Equality Index is a joint initiative of the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), the nation’s largest disability rights organization, and Disability:IN, the global business disability inclusion network, to collectively advance the inclusion of people with disabilities. Cummins also received the designation in 2021.

Globally, there are more than 1 billion people with disabilities. Cummins believes disability is a natural part of the human experience, crossing the lines of age, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status and religion.

Cummins leaders and employees enable positive change by breaking down barriers, responding with empathy, and creating equity of opportunity for all. Cummins’ desire is to see a more prosperous world where all people are embraced for who they are and what they aspire to achieve.

Global power technology leader Cummins Inc. has been named a Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion in 2022.

Since 2010, HNF has partnered with the orphanage to help nearly 9,000 children.

Through the generosity of our supporters and donors, HNF has provided almost $500,000 in grants to SOS Children’s Villages Philippines and given hope to so many at the Casa.
