The relationship will bring Vivint smart home systems into Freedom Forever solar customers’ homes and provide a new solar offering to Vivint’s customer base

PROVO, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vivint Smart Home, Inc. (NYSE: VVNT), a leading smart home company, today announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with Freedom Forever, one of the country’s fastest growing residential solar system installers. The relationship between the two companies will help homeowners get a step closer to living in a smart home that generates as much energy as it uses.


Starting now, Freedom Forever customers will have a Vivint smart home system professionally installed as the first step in the solar installation process, and Vivint customers will have an immediate opportunity to add clean energy production to their homes through Freedom Forever. Vivint is currently developing an integration that will allow the Vivint system to tell the homeowner through its panel interface and app how much energy the panels are producing and how much energy the home is consuming. When used in conjunction with other energy-saving features like the Vivint Smart Thermostat, the companies believe homeowners will be better enabled to make smarter decisions about their energy usage.

“Joining forces with Freedom Forever broadens our offering and provides value to customers who are worried about the environment and skyrocketing energy costs,” said David Bywater, CEO of Vivint. Bywater was previously the CEO of Vivint Solar (acquired by Sunrun), which is the exclusive provider of solar power purchase agreements for both Vivint and Freedom Forever. “This partnership gives me great confidence that we can deliver our customers a truly integrated smart home and energy offering.”

“We are excited about combining two premier services through this partnership with Vivint,” said Brett Bouchy, CEO of Freedom Forever. “Smart Energy is a significant value add that will help customers realize savings sooner and empower them to take control of the environment in and around their home.”

Vivint adding solar to its product offering comes at a time when the company has set its sights on deepening its relationship with homeowners. The company believes that providing a clean energy option as part of its suite will give consumers confidence their homes are not only secure, but also energy efficient—an ever-increasing concern for homeowners as many regions battle extreme summer temperatures.

Report demonstrates how company is driving Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) leadership as a competitive advantage

ESG and Sustainability Report Webcast Scheduled for August 6, 2021

DAVIDSON, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--World-class recordable safety metrics, a 50% diverse Board of Directors, expanding stockholder rights and giving $150 million as one of the largest employee equity grants believed to ever be given from an industrial company are just a few of the highlights in the Ingersoll Rand Inc. (NYSE: IR) 2020 Global Sustainability Report published this week.


This report marks the company’s second annual Sustainability Report and shines a spotlight on the Operate Sustainably strategic imperative, which is one of five strategic imperatives of Ingersoll Rand along with deploy talent, accelerate growth, expand margins and allocate capital effectively.

I am proud of the year-long story of progress this report shares and the employees who made it happen in spite of the challenges we collectively faced with the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Highlights from this Sustainability Report include:

  • Inspired employees are the engine behind everything Ingersoll Rand achieves: Broad-based employee ownership and investment in employees through $150 million employee equity grant takes performance to a new level with employees as active participants in the journey to create long-term value. With thinking and acting like an owner as one of the company values, it changes the mindset from “this is the company I work for, to this is my company.”
  • Growing leadership in diversity, equity and inclusion: Ingersoll Rand’s newly announced ambitious 2025 goals in the areas of representation, advancement and experience.
  • Leveraging mission-critical products and services, and internal operations to positively impact our planet: Ingersoll Rand’s aggressive 2030 and 2050 goals for water, energy use and waste reduction.
  • Implementing governance best practices: Meaningful stockholder-empowering governance enhancements bring the same focus to governance as the company brings to the environmental and social aspects of the ESG journey.
  • Building resilient communities around the world: Ingersoll Rand’s principal partnership with Engineers Without Borders focuses on sustainable community development and infrastructure.
  • Creating shareholder value: Ingersoll Rand’s focus on strengthening the balance sheet and supporting the portfolio transformation and inorganic growth strategy through completed or proposed strategic acquisitions—such as Seepex, Maximus, Tuthill Vacuum and Blower Systems, and Albin Pump—is creating long-term value for stockholders.

BRYN MAWR, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Energy Solutions Group, (“ESG"), a sustainable energy investment and development firm, has announced the launch of a $100M financing facility with United Leasing, Inc. (“United”) to fund renewable energy projects across the nation. United will fund up to $28M in the newest renewable-powered datacenter in the Midwest. Located in the greater Chicago area, the data center's first phase includes a newly constructed facility located at the former site of the largest powerplant polluter in the U.S. throughout most of the twentieth century. Following a complete repurposing, the site is now a high-tech data center that will deliver 100MW of capacity to Indiana, Greater Chicago, and the Midwest.


“We’re thrilled to partner with United on this exciting growth sector. The rapid proliferation of energy-intensive datacenters, combined with the demand for renewable energy, creates an unparalleled opportunity to have meaningful impact. The data center is a perfect example of what Energy Solutions Group will accomplish across the country,” said Bryan Rishforth, Principal of Energy Solutions Group. “There are so many heavily industrialized areas of the country that are primed for this type of transformative repurposing, resulting in a revived local economy and improved environmental conditions.”

With the first phase of construction completed in late 2020, the center stores and carries data for global hyper-scalers, national companies, and blue-chip telecommunication carriers.

In addition, Energy Solutions Group plans to build additional datacenter powerplants in the U.S. using clean, renewable energy.

“United has supported the transportation infrastructure and construction industries for decades and is excited to expand into the important renewable energy sector,” said Martha Ahlers, President, United Leasing. “We have supported datacenters, but the ability to support such an important project in our home state of Indiana with renewable energy is very exciting.”

The data center industry has been rapidly growing as people consume more data on their mobile devices and as more workers continue to work remotely. According to business research firm Research and Markets, it is estimated that the data center industry will grow by 2% every year through 2025, reaching a market size of $69B by 2024.

Highlights Vital Relationship Between the Panama Canal and Houston Ship Channel

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mr. Laurentino Cortizo Cohen, President of the Republic of Panama, made a historic visit to Port Houston Thursday, highlighting the importance of the connection between the Panama Canal and the Houston Ship Channel. Panama is home to the Panama Canal. The 2016 expansion of the canal helped open new business opportunities and spurred the growth of Asia trade for Houston.



The canal's expanded capacity to accommodate larger vessels has helped increase the number of larger ships calling the Houston Ship Channel. Receiving these larger vessels has fostered continued growth in import and export cargo and economic impact and job creation for the Houston region and Texas.

Last year Houston was ranked the #1 U.S. port in total tonnage, and import containers from East Asia have grown 63%, and export containers have increased 96% since 2016.

"Unquestionably, the expansion of the Panama Canal has had a significant role in the growth of cargo volume and the number of larger ships and vessels calling our port," Executive Director Roger Guenther remarked. "That's why we must continue to make strides with the expansion of the Houston Ship Channel - Project 11 to ensure that we can accommodate the larger ships and vessels, which means more jobs and greater economic impact to our region."

Port Houston welcomed the President with a Memorandum of Understanding recognizing the importance of the relationship between the Panama Canal Authority and the Houston Ship Channel. The President also received a briefing that highlighted Houston Ship Channel business and the efforts of Port Houston, advocating Project 11, the Houston Ship Channel expansion program, which supports the widening and deepening of the 52-mile-long federal waterway and its continued maintenance.

About Port Houston

For more than 100 years, Port Houston has owned and operated the public wharves and terminals along the Houston Ship Channel, including the area’s largest breakbulk facility and two of the most efficient and fastest-growing container terminals in the country. Port Houston is the advocate and a strategic leader for the Channel. The Houston Ship Channel complex and its more than 200 public and private terminals, collectively known as the Port of Houston, is the nation’s largest port for waterborne tonnage and an essential economic engine for the Houston region, the state of Texas, and the U.S. The Port of Houston supports the creation of nearly 1.35 million jobs in Texas and 3.2 million jobs nationwide, and economic activity totaling $339 billion in Texas – 20.6 percent of Texas’ total gross domestic product (GDP) – and $801.9 billion in economic impact across the nation.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Aircraft Fuel Systems Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2021-2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.


The global aircraft fuel systems market is expected to exhibit moderate growth during 2021-2026. Looking forward, the publisher expects the global aircraft fuel systems market to grow at a CAGR of around 5% during the forecast period (2021-2026).

Aircraft fuel systems help in loading, storing, managing and delivering fuel to the propulsion system of an aircraft. They are also used for decreasing weight and optimizing the aircraft's center of gravity (COG) by allowing fuel dumping. They comprise numerous components that ensure uniform flow of clean fuel in all operating conditions. Most aircraft fuel systems differ from each other depending on the size and type of the aircraft in which they are installed. Over the years, manufacturers have introduced pre-calibrated fuel systems that help to expedite installation for aircraft manufacturers, along with systems that do not require frequent maintenance and inspection.

Nowadays, with an increasing focus on lowering the weight of the aircraft and improving fuel efficiency, aircraft manufacturers are incorporating advanced lightweight materials in both structural and semi-structural components, which is creating the demand for lightweight, safe and reliable fuel systems. Further, the rising passenger traffic, coupled with the growing global aircraft fleet, is impelling the market growth. Various government-funded organizations are also funding research and development (R&D) activities for creating fuel systems suited for the new generation aircraft. For instance, the EU-funded SAfer FUEL (SAFUEL) project is promoting the development of systems that can meet the constraints posed by electrical connectivity and highly flammable composite materials used in modern airplanes. Manufacturers are also working on reducing the amount of electricity required for reading fuel level as well as conductive metals in fuel tanks. Some of the other factors that are strengthening the growth of the market include technological advancements in military aircraft and development in the commercial aviation sector.

Post-pandemic policies fail to meet investor and employee demand for greener travel, Emburse research reveals

LOS ANGELES & PORTLAND, Maine--(BUSINESS WIRE)--One in two organizations plan to increase their focus on socially- and environmentally-responsible business travel post-pandemic. But few are really taking the steps required to turn that plan to action.


Emburse, a global leader in expense management and accounts payable automation solutions, today published the latest installment of its research, The Remaking of Business Travel. The findings showed that, despite increased emphasis on ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) issues among corporations1 and a heightened demand for sustainable travel among consumers2, most business travel programs still lack specificity and accountability when it comes to environmental and social impact.

Only 35 percent of organizations have a sustainability policy that includes business travel. Those policies that do exist are limited in their scope, focusing mainly on measuring carbon footprint (included in 58 percent of policies). Less than a quarter of companies take any further measures, such as mandating sustainable suppliers or purchasing carbon offsets.

Organizations are also unwilling to pay more for sustainable travel vendors (only 14 percent would pay any more for a greener option). While 40 percent say that sustainability is important or very important when choosing suppliers, that pales next to the 78 percent who class low cost as important and 85 percent who prioritize traveler convenience. Only 22 percent are using sustainability data when making supplier selections and only 19 percent are mandating more environmentally-conscious airlines and accommodation providers.

The study revealed corporate travel programs are doing even less to tackle social inequity. Only 19 percent of companies have a policy to buy travel products and services from minority-owned businesses. However, companies who have a travel sustainability policy are more likely to actively address other social issues. Over a third (37 percent) of those with a sustainability policy also have a social equity policy.

Larger companies - or those with large travel programs - are faring better. Those spending over $30m a year rate sustainability or social equity as ‘important’ or ‘very important’ more than those spending less than $10m a year. And they’re almost twice as likely to set sustainability targets for events and mandate sustainable accommodation options.

One potential reason for the limited action on climate and social issues is that corporate travel departments have competing priorities. COVID-19 has made duty of care a higher priority for employers (99 percent say that’s a top priority). The lack of consistent supplier sustainability and social equity data upon which to make decisions, is likely another barrier.

“ESG is becoming a higher priority for companies but, when it comes to business travel, few have found the time or focus to make concrete changes. This is a missed opportunity. Now is the perfect moment to re-evaluate travel policies and ensure they meet employee and investor expectations for greener, more equitable travel,” said Eric Friedrichsen, CEO at Emburse. “It’s not easy to make socially-conscious business travel choices. But there are steps every organization can--and should--take: for example, making carbon footprint data easily available to travelers, rewarding employees who choose more sustainable options, and setting rules to ensure no one takes a flight for just one meeting.”

About The Remaking of Business Travel

The Remaking of Business Travel is an Emburse research survey conducted in collaboration with the Global Business Travel Association. The GBTA team surveyed 220 travel managers in the US and Canada between April 22-28, 2021. One third of the companies surveyed had travel budgets of less than $10M; one third had budgets of $10M-$30M, and the last demographic had a budget of +$30M. These companies ranged in industry, including professional services, healthcare, finance and more.
