SHANGHAI, Sept. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — In a decisive move to combat climate change and uphold the principles of the Paris Agreement and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, USI (SSE: 601231) released its 2023 Climate and Nature Risk Management Report. This follows the company’s inaugural TCFD Report in 2021. The latest report, structured around the TCFD and TNFD frameworks, provides a comprehensive overview of USI’s governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets related to climate adaptation and biodiversity conservation.

The conclusion of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28) in December 2023 marked a significant agreement to drastically reduce emissions. USI reaffirms its commitment to the Paris Agreement’s goals, embedding environmental sustainability into its core operations through its Environment, Health, Safety & Energy Policy. The company actively participates in the CDP and SBT initiatives, setting and promoting ambitious carbon reduction targets. Notably, USI’s facilities in Mainland China, Mexico, and Vietnam are now powered entirely by renewable energy, and all major facilities worldwide have achieved third-party ISO 14064-1 verification for their greenhouse gas emissions. USI is also accelerating its R&D efforts to develop low-carbon products, increasing the share of clean tech and eco-design products, with long-term goals of using 100% renewable energy in all manufacturing facilities by 2035 and achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.

In 2023, USI demonstrated its commitment to biodiversity conservation by announcing its Biodiversity and No Deforestation Commitment and implementing a biodiversity risk assessment system, aiming for a Net Positive Impact by 2050. Since 2013, USI has invested in afforestation projects to combat desertification in Inner Mongolia and Ningxia, gradually restoring local biodiversity. The latest ecological surveys report 47 species in Inner Mongolia and 14 species in Ningxia, indicating stabilizing sand, a balancing ecosystem, and early signs of recovery. By the end of 2023, USI had planted 151,482 trees covering 97.91 hectares, capturing 729.44 metric tonnes of CO2e and conserving approximately 134,332.52 metric tonnes of water annually.

USI remains steadfast in its mission to build a sustainable environment, uphold social responsibility, and pursue sustainable governance, contributing to the planet’s sustainable development.

Professional women with careers in science, technology, engineering and math make a world of difference in inspiring young girls to show them they can achieve anyything they want to with hard work and believing n themselves.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis is proud to help ignite a passion in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) for girls of all ages. The STEM Exploration Day took place on Saturday, September 28, 2024 with professional women sharing their experience and advice.

Young girls met with women in various STEM professions including coding, physics, astronomy, robotics and engineering just to name a few. Hands-on activities and demonstrations served as great learning opportunities as visitors received special giveaways.

Programs & Activities – Thank you to all participating groups that provided hands-on activities and helped guide STEM career explorations. They included:

Eli Lilly and Company Visiting Scientist Dr. Carlotta Berry
Dr. Berry is an accomplished electrical engineer specializing in controls and robotics. She advocates for the demystification of STEM through innovative strategies, including robot hip-hop slam poetry. She is a professor and endowed department chair at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. She’s also an author, researcher, mentor, role model, prolific speaker, and a STEM trailblazer. Dr. Berry engaged visitors in hands-on exploration with robots. You can hear more from her here: https://youtu.be/16smIuetR_w

Indiana Visiting Artist Emily Bennett
If your first thought of “sculpture” is a gleaming marble bust from ancient Greece, just wait until you see the work of Terre Haute artist Emily Bennett! She redefines what sculpture can be, weaving colorful fibers onto metal structures to create bold, vibrant pieces. The results are what she calls “imaginary dreamscapes” that you can hang on the wall or set on a shelf. As programming coordinator for the Community School of the Arts at Indiana State University, Bennett relishes helping people uncover their artistic abilities.

Women in Lilly Discovery and Development (WiLDD) with Eli Lilly and Company (families created their own binary bracelets and lava lamps).

80 Acres Farms

Franklin Pest Solutions

Indiana State Police Crime Laboratory (visitors examined various pieces of evidence with forensic experts to learn how they solve crimes).

Society of Women Engineers (girls explored mechanical engineering and learned how to make their own catapults). UIndy Human Identification Center (families received an interesting introduction to forensic anthropology, learned about radiographs and studied casts of bones from various animals to learn about the different ages and stages of life).

City of Indianapolis—Department of Public Works, Engineering (shared a storm drain model to demonstrate how families can protect stormwater).

IU Astronomy Department (families learned how the same elements that make up our bodies are also present in galaxies billions of light years away and examined the patterns of Hydrogen, Helium, Oxygen and Neon and made bracelets with the same patterns as these elements).

IU Intelligent Systems Engineering (featured robotics and electronics).

IEEE Women in Engineering (helped visitors explore various sensors).

Sycamore School (more than two dozen activities revolving around mechanics, electricity, sound, optics and air pressure made up the activities).

American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC) (provided a bridge building simulation).

The Gurl Code (provided binary bracelets, 3D Pens, Ozobots and MakeyMakey).

DNA Discovery in Corteva Agriscience STEMLab (families were able to extract real DNA from plant cells, discovered where DNA can be found in nature and learned about how scientists discovered the structure of DNA).

STEM Exploration Day is presented Lilly Girls & Young Women In STEM and supported by Indiana Soybean Alliance.
