MIAMI, Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL;NYSE: CUK), the world’s largest cruise company, today announced that for the fifth…
MIAMI, Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL;NYSE: CUK), the world’s largest cruise company, today announced that for the fifth consecutive year it has earned a perfect score of 100 on the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Foundation’s 2021 Corporate Equality Index (CEI), designating the company as a Best Place to Work for LGBTQ Equality.
In total, Carnival Corporation has been recognized a total of eight times in the annual HRC Foundation CEI report, the nation’s foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ workplace equality. As the educational arm of the largest civil rights organization in the U.S., HRC Foundation is working to achieve equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people.
«As a company with employees from nearly 150 countries, we fully embrace the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace, and we are committed to promoting a positive and empowering corporate culture for all of our shipboard and shoreside employees,» said Roger Frizzell, chief communications officer for Carnival Corporation. «We believe that proactively building a diverse and inclusive workforce is not only the right way to operate, but it is also a business imperative that provides a competitive advantage. Our commitment to diversity of thinking across the organization fosters new perspectives and approaches to reaching our goals and drives continuous innovation that helps us better serve our guests and consistently exceed their expectations for an excellent vacation experience.»
In its 19th year, the CEI evaluates U.S.-based companies and top law firms based on detailed criteria falling under four central pillars including non-discrimination policies, equitable benefits for LGBTQ workers and their families, supporting an inclusive culture and corporate social responsibility.
«From the previously unimaginable impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, to a long overdue reckoning with racial injustice, 2020 was an unprecedented year. Yet, many businesses across the nation stepped up and continued to prioritize and champion LGBTQ equality,» said Alphonso David, president of the Human Rights Campaign. «This year has shown us that tools like the CEI are crucial in the work to increase equity and inclusion in the workplace, but also that companies must breathe life into these policies and practices in real and tangible ways. Thank you to the companies that understand protecting their LGBTQ employees and consumers from discrimination is not just the right thing to do—but the best business decision.»
The sustained recognition from HRC over a multi-year period builds on recent recognitions Carnival Corporation has earned for its companywide operations and dedication to diversity and inclusion. In January 2020, the company was named for the second consecutive year as one of America’s Best Employers for Diversity by Forbes, along with being named to the media company’s annual listing of America’s Best Employers for Women for 2020. Most recently, Carnival Corporation was recognized for its commitment to corporate social responsibility leadership by Newsweek on its second annual list of America’s Most Responsible Companies for 2021 and was named a Glassdoor Employees’ Choice Award Winner honoring the best 100 U.S. places to work, in addition to being named to 3BL Media’s listing of 100 Best Corporate Citizens for 2020.
As part of its broader corporate strategy that includes the company’s top priorities of compliance, environmental protection and the health, safety and well-being of its guests, crew members and communities it visits, Carnival Corporation fully embraces and values diversity and inclusion, a commitment that permeates every aspect of operations across the company and its nine cruise line brands.
The company’s commitment is reflected in the diversity of its workforce, leadership and guests, and through its companywide sustainability goals for building a diverse and inclusive workforce, in addition to its ongoing record of supporting diversity, equity and inclusion around the world. This includes being actively engaged in supporting efforts by OUTBermuda and other LGBTQ community organizations to advocate for the legal recognition of same-sex marriages in Bermuda. Additionally, in 2020 Carnival Corporation was among the first companies to join the United Nations’ Standards of Conduct for Business, a global campaign seeking to tackle discrimination against LGBTI people in the workplace and society.

SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — CleanSpark, Inc. (Nasdaq: CLSK), («CleanSpark, or the Company»), an advanced software and controls technology solutions company focused on solving modern energy challenges, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, GridFabric has completed the process of OpenADR certification for KIGT, Inc. KIGT is an electric vehicle (EV) charging, software and technology company focusing on charging stations and related software for commercial, fleet, and residential vehicles.
CleanSpark’s EV Charging Solutions Set to Deploy Across California, Hawaii.
KIGT’s charging platform and proprietary software have now been added to the official list of OpenADR certified products. The list of entities having achieved certification, including KIGT, can be found at https://products.openadr.org/product/kigt-inc-kigt_ven/
KIGT, an Ontario, California based firm, was founded as a reseller of EV charging equipment more than a decade ago. The principals of the company identified a need within the electric vehicle sector for a more efficient, faster charging and affordable solution. The team at KIGT successfully launched a proprietary platform and began manufacturing their own products in 2014. This Open ADR certification will enable KIGT to enter new markets, participating alongside other, older EV charging companies in serving entities including major California Utilities and HECO (Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc.).
We believe the electric vehicle market is poised for exponential growth. According to McKinsey & Company, «With consumer focus shifting towards sustainability, it is anticipated that expenditure on electric vehicles will double over the next 5 years.»
Paul Francis, Co-Founder of KIGT, said of the announcement, «OpenADR certification will be a key driver for our growth in 2021, allowing us to work with leading utilities’ demand response and incentive programs. GridFabric made the process easy, as we were able to become fully certified much quicker and at a significantly lower cost than attempting the certification process alone.»
Zach Bradford, CleanSpark’s President and Chief Executive Officer stated, «GridFabric’s Plaid product is one of the fastest ways for a company like KIGT to achieve full OpenADR certification across their platform. This process allows them to participate in utility load shifting programs, rapidly. Alternatively, the process of achieving certification without this program can result in months-long delays and substantial capital expenditures. This project is yet another successful deployment of GridFabric’s unique offering within the broader EV charging industry.» Adding, «GridFabric, has continued to expand its network of customers since its acquisition by CleanSpark in 2020. Following President Biden’s remarks this week committing to the replacement of the entire Federal fleet with electric vehicles, we believe the focus on rapid certification of EV charging systems is poised to accelerate over the course of the coming years.»
Executive Chairman Matthew Schultz will also be speaking today, January 28th at 12pm Eastern at the RenMark Virtual Roadshow. To view the live presentation, CLICK HERE. A recording will be available on the Company investor website a few days after the presentation.

BETHESDA, Md., Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — With travelers dreaming of new discoveries in 2021, Sheraton Hotels & Resorts is ready to welcome them as it unveils the initial hotels around the world exemplifying the brand’s new vision: Sheraton Phoenix Downtown, USA;…
BETHESDA, Md., Jan. 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — With travelers dreaming of new discoveries in 2021, Sheraton Hotels & Resorts is ready to welcome them as it unveils the initial hotels around the world exemplifying the brand’s new vision: Sheraton Phoenix Downtown, USA; Sheraton Denver Downtown, USA; Sheraton Tel Aviv, Israel; Sheraton Grand Dubai, UAE; Sheraton Guangzhou, China and Sheraton Mianyang, China.
Following Marriott International’s announcement in 2018 of its plans to refresh the iconic brand for today’s travelers, the completion of the renovations at these hotels is an important milestone in the brand’s reinvention journey. There is now momentum building for the transformation, with over 40 hotels around the world expected to reflect the new brand vision by the end of 2022.
«This is a pivotal moment for Sheraton as we see hotel owners embracing the new vision and bringing it to life for the first time,» said Amanda Nichols, Senior Director and Global Brand Leader of Sheraton Hotels. «Over the past 80 years, Sheraton has always offered guests the time-honored assurance of a welcoming community. We’re proud to have built on this legacy in the new concept, creating an environment where guests can enjoy all the familiar comforts of the Sheraton brand, but with fresh, contemporary updates. As travel resumes, we look forward to welcoming guests into this new chapter for Sheraton.»
Drawing on its roots as a community hub for locals and guests at flagship locations globally, the new approach for Sheraton creates an intuitive and holistic experience with places to connect, be productive and feel part of something. The layered design approach, balancing a sense of timelessness with a fresh and modern feel, aims to create an environment where guests feel comfortable and at ease, whether working, meeting or relaxing.
A Modern-Day «Public Square»
At the heart of the new Sheraton experience is the lobby. This has been re-imagined as the «Public Square» of the hotel; a holistic, open space that invites people to join together or be alone amongst others, creating a sense of energy and belonging. With a flow that is natural, intuitive and uncomplicated, guests have what they need within arm’s reach, all set against an inviting backdrop that feels warm and comfortable yet refined.
Built into the new design are signature elements such as the Community Table, an inviting, purpose-built workspace that will anchor each hotel’s lobby and allow guests to work, eat and drink while soaking up the energy of the space. Following Sheraton’s philosophy to embrace both form and function, these tables are custom designed with amenities to keep guests productive, including built-in lighting, outlets and wireless charging stations.
The Studios, flexible gathering spaces available to book whenever a guest needs it, celebrate collaborative working and connecting with others in a less formal setting. Built on raised platforms and enclosed with glass, the tech-enabled Studios welcome guests to contribute to the energy of the public space while also providing privacy and focus for everything from small group meetings to private dining experiences. Soundproof booths are also strategically placed throughout the lobby, perfect for a spontaneous phone call to connect privately with friends, family or colleagues from afar.
Built with its global, productivity-focused guest in mind, Sheraton’s new elevated food & beverage philosophy creates a focal point in the lobby experience. Part bar, part coffee bar, part market, the Coffee Bar Bar is a central pillar of the new Sheraton vision, transitioning guests seamlessly from day to night with food & beverage options that are locally-sourced, easy to consume while working and customizable to accommodate all tastes and time schedules.
Guest Rooms & Club Lounges That Champion Productivity
In the new guest rooms, guests are welcomed into a bright, well-lit space with warm, residential appeal, comprised of soft finishes and light wood tones accentuated with black metal accents. The rooms have been reimagined with new tools for productivity, such as a height-adjustable work table, integrated power and charging and layered lighting; while still retaining some of the classic Sheraton signature amenities, including the luxurious Sheraton Sleep Experience platform bed. The guest bathroom has also been completely redesigned with new and modern walk-in showers and bath amenities by Gilchrist & Soames.
The Sheraton Club Lounge, an exclusive space for Marriott Bonvoy Elite members and Sheraton Club level guests, has also undergone an upgrade as part of the transformation. The new design ensures the space is welcoming, elevated and purposefully designed for a layered and engaging experience that transitions seamlessly with activations from morning to evening. Guests will find updated food and beverage offerings, premium amenities, enhanced connectivity, and 24/7 access to provide a private environment.
Commitment to Clean
Sheraton Hotels are following Marriott International’s Commitment to Clean protocols, created in partnership with leading experts in food and water safety, hygiene and infection prevention, and hotel operations. These protocols include mandated mask wearing for all associates within the hotel, and the use of disinfectants recommended by the Centers for Disease Control in the country/region where the hotel operates and the World Health Organization to sanitize surfaces in the hotels.
A Continuous Journey

Fundada en 1962, Catalyst es una organización global sin fines de lucro que trabaja con algunos de los CEOs más reconocidos del mundo y con empresas líderes que amplían las oportunidades para las mujeres en los negocios a nivel mundial. Durante más de 30 años, Catalyst ha otorgado el premio Catalyst Award para reconocer las iniciativas excepcionales tomadas por las corporaciones para acelerar y promover las mujeres a puestos de liderazgo, porque el progreso de las mujeres es el progreso de todos.
«Nos sentimos honrados de ser reconocidos por Catalyst por nuestros esfuerzos globales en Barilla para promover la igualdad de género en el lugar de trabajo, reforzados por nuestro logro de Igualdad salarial de género en Barilla», dijo Claudio Colzani, CEO de Grupo Barilla. «Este premio es un reflejo del esfuerzo de Barilla por promover una cultura de diversidad e inclusión a nuestros empleados, socios y las comunidades en las que comemos, vivimos y trabajamos. Entendiendo que aún tenemos más trabajo por hacer, continuaremos con resiliencia en este camino para crear una empresa aún más inclusiva para todos».
Barilla está siendo reconocida por convertirse en un modelo de inclusión para sus empleados LGBTQ+ y todos los grupos subrepresentados que trabajan para la empresa.

En 2020, Barilla logró la igualdad salarial en todo el mundo, para todos sus empleados, independientemente de género, alineado con el valor de Barilla «Equal pay for equal work». También fue una de las primeras empresas en Italia en lograr varios hitos de inclusión, como formalizar el trabajo flexible en todo el mundo y convertirse en la primera empresa italiana en apoyar la recomendación de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas contra la discriminación de la comunidad LGBTQ+ en el ambiente laboral.
«Aplaudimos a Barilla y RBC por sus iniciativas que han cultivado de manera proactiva culturas inclusivas para las mujeres y todos dentro de sus organizaciones», dijo Lorraine Hariton, presidenta y CEO de Catalyst. «El compromiso singular de aumentar la representación de las mujeres en sus puestos de liderazgo – y asumir la responsabilidad de desarrollar y capacitar el talento frente a los desafíos – demuestra que el progreso no se detendrá».
El tema del evento virtual del Catalyst Awards 2021 es «El Progreso no se Detendrá – la Equidad no Puede Esperar». Esto señala los esfuerzos continuos y constantes de las organizaciones comprometidas con la diversidad, igualdad y inclusión en este proclamado encuentro mundial de líderes corporativos.
Se espera que más de 5,000 participantes asistan al evento virtual, incluso el Catalyst Board of Directors y el Catalyst CEO Champions For Change.
