Amazon
Signed a multi-year agreement with cooling and dehumidification systems developer Transaera to integrate its technology into Amazon’s HVAC design solutions.

McKinsey & Co.
Announced it had exceeded its 2025 emissions targets. The company cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 70%, compared to targeted reduction of 25%, and cut Scope 3 travel emissions per full-time equivalent by 50%, compared to its target of 35% (both 2019 baselines). To address travel emissions, the company expanded hybrid and remote collaboration models, increased local staffing, scaled up the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and incorporated an internal carbon fee and prompts for greener travel options. It also transitioned to 100% renewable electricity globally, selected green office spaces, and purchased carbon credits. PR »
PepsiCo
Signed a long-term agreement with Fertiberia to help scale the use of low-carbon fertilizer. Fertiberia will supply up to 150,000 tons of its green hydrogen-based fertilizer annually by 2030, enough to apply to about 400,000 acres (162,000 hectares) of farmland. This builds on a successful trial in Spain and Portugal (which cut carbon emissions for potato farming by up to 15% and for corn farming up to 20%) and will expand initially to an additional five countries in Europe. The fertilizer, which is produced from green hydrogen instead of natural gas, reduces GHG emissions by up to 63%. PR »
