ATLANTA, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Cox Enterprises announced it has accelerated its goal to be carbon and water neutral from 2044 to 2034 as part of the company’s national sustainability program, Cox Conserves. The new Cox Conserves strategy expedites the company’s zero environmental footprint goals by reducing, replacing and recycling within its own operations, along with developing new renewable projects and partnerships to offset impacts.

Since Cox set its original goals in 2013, clean technologies and renewables have advanced, and the costs associated with these industries have decreased. At the same time, the pace of climate change has led to ever-worsening consequences and driven a more urgent need for change.

«Our planet is in crisis,» said Ira Pearl, vice president of environmental sustainability. «Corporate involvement is critical to addressing climate change. When companies, governments and people work together, we can build a more sustainable future.»

By achieving carbon and water neutrality 10 years earlier, Cox will substantially reduce its total greenhouse gas emissions released into the atmosphere, while also having a meaningful impact on both drinking water and water-related ecosystems. The Zero Waste to Landfill goal will retain its original target of 2024.

Recent advancements in clean technology and the reduced cost of renewable energy have now put these goals within closer reach. The company’s new strategy includes a clear roadmap to achieve these accelerated goals, including: 

  • Reducing Cox’s energy use (75% of our carbon footprint), while replacing the energy we must use with renewable resources.
  • Leveraging new and emerging technologies, utilizing a whole facility approach to reduce energy demand and generate green energy, reducing water use, and driving waste diversion.
  • Reducing water consumption by 30% within our facilities and working with external partners on projects to replenish the remaining 70%.
  • Investing in rainwater harvesting, water reclamation and facility water reductions to achieve the 30% reduction within Cox’s built environment.

Cox also partners with its highly engaged employees, who are a tremendous source of inspiration and ideas to help achieve water and carbon neutrality. The company is enhancing employee education on what can be done at work and home, while offering more immersive and engaging ways for employees to participate.

With nearly $140 million invested in more than 400 projects, Cox has long been committed to driving meaningful progress toward environmental change. Some of its investments include New River Clean Energy, which captures landfill gas to generate renewable energy and reduce methane emissions, and the development of 63 solar arrays in 34 locations. To learn more about Cox’s commitment to sustainability, visit www.CoxCSRReport.com.

New research highlights racial inequities in the Bay Area workforce and makes actionable recommendations for equitable economic recovery

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A new report shows that despite the San Francisco Bay Area’s reputation for innovation and prosperity, deep racial inequities are built into the regional economy and disproportionately impact people of color. The report analyzes disaggregated data to identify workforce equity strategies that should be implemented to foster broad economic prosperity.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — A new report shows that despite the San Francisco Bay Area’s reputation for innovation and prosperity, deep racial inequities are built into the regional economy and disproportionately impact people of color. The report analyzes disaggregated data to identify workforce equity strategies that should be implemented to foster broad economic prosperity.

Advancing Workforce Equity in the Bay Area: A Blueprint for Action, released today by the National Equity Atlas (a partnership between PolicyLink and the USC Equity Research Institute) with the National Fund for Workforce Solutions, ReWork the Bay, Burning Glass Technologies, and JPMorgan Chase, highlights stark realities for workers in the region.

Occupational segregation is stark and the impact of this is widespread. Latinx workers are about 22% of the total area workforce, but more than 67% of building maintenance workers, and just 5% of computer and mathematical jobs. White workers earn more than people or color across every level of education, with the exception of Asian American or Pacific Islander workers with a bachelor’s degree, who earn similar median wages to White workers.

Deeply entrenched racial inequity cost the region $348 billion in unrealized GDP in 2018 alone. Inequities in the system are felt by the whole region, and workers of color are bearing the burden.

«Across our national network of employers, workforce development boards, training providers, and community partners, the situation mirrors what this data reveals: Racial inequities are entrenched in all aspects of the workforce system,» said Amanda Cage, president and CEO of the National Fund for Workforce Solutions. «To ensure the system works for everyone, we need to start fixing these issues now.»

The report offers a robust plan, which centers workers themselves, to build a thriving and inclusive regional workforce: 

  • Establish a worker bill of rights.
  • Define health and wellness standards to empower workers and incentivize employers.
  • Develop community-centered economic plans.
  • Strengthen the social safety net to improve worker benefits.
  • Include workers’ rights training into workforce development programs.

«Our region has generated tremendous wealth, but it has been inequitable. We want everyone, especially underpaid working people, to have jobs that allow them to both benefit from and shape the Bay Area’s economy,» said Rob Hope, director at Rework the Bay – the local partner of the National Fund for Workforce Solutions.

The report, data, and analysis can be found at https://nationalequityatlas.org/research/workforce-equity-bay-area.

Advancing Workforce Equity in the San Francisco: A Blueprint for Action was developed through a partnership of the National Fund for Workforce Solutions, ReWork the Bay, PolicyLink, USC Equity Research Institute, and Burning Glass Technologies, with support from JPMorgan Chase.

The Worldwide Automotive Conformal Coatings Industry is Projected to Reach $2.7 Billion by 2025

DUBLIN, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «Automotive Conformal Coatings Market by Material (Acrylic, Silicone, Epoxy, Polyurethane, Parylene), Component…

DUBLIN, Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The «Automotive Conformal Coatings Market by Material (Acrylic, Silicone, Epoxy, Polyurethane, Parylene), Component (ECU, PCB, Sensor, Battery Casing, LED and Infotainment System), Application Method, Vehicle Type, EV, Region – Global 2025» report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Research and Markets Logo

The global automotive conformal coatings market is projected to reach USD 2.7 billion by 2025 from USD 1.8 billion in 2020, at a CAGR of 8.7%.

The growth of this market is primarily driven by the increasing automotive electronics in vehicles and various technological advancements in the application method of conformal coating.

With progression in time, the COVID-19 impact has severely disrupted the supply chain for the entire automotive ecosystem. This has halted production facilities across the globe resulting in a disruption in the exports of automotive components. This scenario is expected to affect the automotive conformal coatings market, as the growth of the market is directly related to the production of the vehicles. The global production of vehicles pre-COVID-19 was expected to reach from ~90-95 million units in 2020 to ~110-115 million units by 2025. According to OICA, though global vehicle production declined by 5.2% between 2018-2019, the production outlook was supposed to showcase significant growth from 2021-2022 owing to multiple steps taken by OEMs, as well as some governments, to attract customers.

Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) is the fastest-growing market, by EV type.

Stringent emission norms across the globe have led to an increased focus by governments on promoting and investing in BEVs. This is expected to create a favorable environment for BEV sales and drive its demand. Electric vehicles have a higher installation of electronics than traditional vehicles, and the increasing sales of BEVs are expected to fuel the demand for conformal coatings to protect these vital components. These factors are expected to drive the market growth for the BEV segment in near future.

The Asia Pacific is estimated to be the fastest-growing market for the automotive conformal coatings market.

The regional growth can be attributed to the higher production of vehicles in countries such as China, Japan, and South Korea. Governments across the Asia Pacific region have formulated stringent safety and emission norms that are expected to increase the installation of automotive electronics. Moreover, modern features, such as power windows, automatic rain wiper, rear parking sensors, and LED DRL, are penetrating in entry to mid-level cars due to consumer demand. These features will require more electronic installations, which, in turn, is expected to drive the automotive conformal coatings market.

NETA Awards $25,000 Security Equipment Grant to Social Equity Applicant Cannabis Delivery Service in Massachusetts

FRANKLIN, Mass., Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — New England Treatment Access (NETA), a division of the privately-held, multi-state cannabis company Parallel and a leading cannabis operator in Massachusetts, today announced that «Florencia,» a social equity cannabis license applicant, is the recipient of $25,000 through its Security Equipment Grant Program.

FRANKLIN, Mass., Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — New England Treatment Access (NETA), a division of the privately-held, multi-state cannabis company Parallel and a leading cannabis operator in Massachusetts, today announced that «Florencia,» a social equity cannabis license applicant, is the recipient of $25,000 through its Security Equipment Grant Program. NETA’s initiative is designed to help reduce barriers to entry for social equity applicants into the state’s cannabis industry. 

Florencia will be one of the first to receive a home-delivery license from the Cannabis Control Commission (CCC) for social equity applicants. The company plans to locate in Uxbridge, Massachusetts pending final town approvals. Florencia is owned by Jensen and Jackson Mejia, twin brothers who came to the United States from the Dominican Republic in 1991 and have called Worcester, Massachusetts home. The Mejia’s brother Ardwin, who is a decorated U.S. Marine, serving the country around the world, will join the business when he returns from his current military duties. The $25,000 grant will be used to outfit their delivery vehicles with compliant security equipment, as mandated by the CCC.

«The Mejia brothers are impressive entrepreneurs who share NETA’s commitment to promote social responsibility and inclusion in their workplace and in the cannabis industry,» said Kim Napoli, Sr. Director of Corporate Social Responsibility and Community Affairs for Parallel. «We decided the brothers should receive the entire $25,000 grant because they represent the ideal of the state’s social equity program, and our intention to promote communities of color who do not have the financial backing to get started in the industry. This Massachusetts focused grant program is part of our NETA Cares Initiatives, which is one piece of Parallel’s efforts to foster, cultivate and preserve a culture of diversity and equity across our entire company.»

The Mejia brothers expressed their gratitude to NETA and Parallel for supporting their opportunity, saying «This is not only meaningful to us, but also to the goal of achieving social equity in cannabis. To us, the social equity program is not only a public acknowledgement of the systemic inequality in our society, but a powerful tool to begin to redress that inequality.»

Jensen and Jackson noted, «We recognize the responsibility we have to our community to be good stewards of this opportunity. For that reason, we plan to operate Florencia in a way that fosters and maximizes opportunities for people from disadvantaged communities and to give back as much as we possibly can.»

NETA will be presenting the funds to Florencia next week.

Florida Realtors® 2021 Real Estate Trends: What’s Ahead for Fla. Real Estate?

ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Real estate drives Florida’s economy, and figuring out what lies ahead in 2021 is key for policymakers, residents and Realtors, especially with a continuing global pandemic.

ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Real estate drives Florida’s economy, and figuring out what lies ahead in 2021 is key for policymakers, residents and Realtors, especially with a continuing global pandemic. This year’s Florida Realtors® 2021 Florida Real Estate Trends virtual summit also features a panel discussion on how residential and commercial real estate intersect, along with trends in development and new home-construction.

Florida Realtors Chief Economist Dr. Brad O’Connor and Dr. Robert Dietz, chief economist and senior vice president for economics and housing policy for the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), will share their insights at the 2021 Florida Real Estate Trends on Feb. 4. The Zoom webinar begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 11 a.m.

Dr. Dietz will discuss trends in new-home construction, while Dr. O’Connor will focus on the Sunshine State’s residential real estate market. He will recap 2020 and share his expectations for the year ahead.

«From a real estate perspective, the big story in 2020 was the housing market’s ability to weather the COVID-19 pandemic and lead the nation into a period of economic recovery,» O’Connor says. «Yet at the same time, the rapid pace of sales we’ve seen in recent months has reduced Florida’s inventory of homes for sale to its lowest level in years. At this year’s Florida Real Estate Trends, we will take a detailed look at trends in new home construction, which is the only means we have of getting out of this housing shortage situation in the long run.»

He explains, «Another hot topic in real estate this past year has been which long-run trends have been disrupted vs. accelerated by the pandemic. We’ll present the latest data and have some in-depth discussions about Florida’s migration patterns, shifts in urban and suburban housing demand, and the future of Florida’s cities and real estate industry in a post-pandemic world.»

Following the economic presentations, a panel of homebuilders and commercial real estate experts will discuss, «What Happens When the Office and Store Move Home?» Moderated by Jennifer Quinn, economist and director of economic development for Florida Realtors, the panel includes Kristine Smale, senior vice president, Zonda Advisory; Chris Owen, director, Florida research, Cushman & Wakefield; and Nancy Muscatello, managing consultant, CoStar Advisory Services, CoStar Group.

«This is a ‘must-see’ opportunity for Realtors and anyone interested in Florida’s future,» says 2021 Florida Realtors President Cheryl Lambert, broker-owner with Only Way Realty Citrus in Inverness. «The information you’ll gain from our Real Estate Trends event offers valuable insight for your business in the months to come.»
