In an ambitious drive to advance precision agriculture throughout the United States, AcuSpray announces a significant expansion of its franchise network.

DETROIT, MI / ACCESSWIRE / January 31, 2024 / In an ambitious drive to advance precision agriculture throughout the United States, AcuSpray announces a significant expansion of its franchise network. Already a leader in precision drone application services, AcuSpray has opened franchise opportunities in over 30 states as part of its strategic growth plan. To extend these opportunities to encompass all lower 48 states in 2024, AcuSpray is inviting entrepreneurs to join in its mission to revolutionize precision agriculture and expand its nationwide footprint.

This expansion underscores a pivotal moment in agriculture, aligning with the industry’s move towards innovative farming techniques that promise greater yields and improved cost efficiency. An independent 2023 study conducted in Indiana on corn fungicide application – ground versus drone – has shed light on the potential benefits of utilizing drone technology in farming. The study reports a remarkable 7.8 bushel per acre yield increase when using drones for fungicide application compared to untreated fields, translating to significant profitability gains for farmers.

"While AcuSpray was not a participant in the Indiana study, the findings corroborate the feedback we’ve received from our clients and reinforce our commitment to leading the charge in drone-based agricultural services," stated Jeff Bickley, CEO of AcuSpray. "Our franchising model is rapidly growing because it encapsulates the essence of what today’s farmers need: efficiency, precision, and sustainability."

The compelling findings from the study underscore another significant benefit of drone applications: the considerable reduction in pesticide usage. By employing drones, farmers can target specific areas with unparalleled accuracy, leading to less pesticide required per acre. This precision directly contributes to an $18.56 per acre increase in return on investment, showcasing an approach that not only elevates yields but does so responsibly and sustainably. The reduced chemical footprint is a win-win for farmers and the environment alike, resonating with AcuSpray’s core mission to provide advanced agricultural solutions that surpass the industry’s developing needs for efficiency, efficacy, and environmental stewardship.

As AcuSpray continues to expand, it extends an invitation to entrepreneurs to become part of a revolution in agriculture, empowering them with cutting-edge technology and a robust support system. AcuSpray franchises are at the heart of a movement that promotes economic growth, innovation, and sustainability within the agricultural community.

Recently crowned as the Top Precision Farming Solutions Provider for 2023 by the AgriBusiness Review, AcuSpray stands at the vanguard of precision drone application technology.

Summary: Skey Network, a pioneering platform in the blockchain industry, proudly stands at the forefront of blockchain innovation, earning accolades from over 50 Polish and European enterprises.

WARSAW, POLAND / ACCESSWIRE / January 31, 2024 / With the latest developments, Skey Network has emerged as a blockchain solution, garnered over 50 European companies and industry giants. With strategic partnerships with industry leaders such as Kleiberit, Orange, and Teltonika, the company is redefining standards in the blockchain space. The unparalleled success and trust bestowed upon Skey Network reflect its versatile blockchain services, quick integration capabilities through SkeyBox, and ability to outshine Ethereum, Solana, and Cardano in the eyes of major players in the industry.

Why do companies such as Orange (one of the largest GSM operators) or Teltonika (the 3rd largest manufacturer of IOT devices worldwide) choose the Skey Network blockchain over Ethereum, Solana, or Cardano? The project’s success can be attributed to the availability of blockchain services as a versatile tool.

Services that can be installed in any company in less than 10 minutes, resulting in the access to the blockchain ecosystem through the integration with the SkeyBox, just like the simple installation of the Office package.

Collaborations with Orange, Teltonika, and Waste24 play a pivotal role in the success of SkeyNetwork. By using Skey Network’s blockchain, Orange is breaking new ground in managing access to its devices, demonstrating the power of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology in the telecommunications industry, and testing it with Alliance Blockchain France’s infrastructure.

Another example of the use of Skey.Network’s technology is the Go2NFT project that generates corporate NFTs (NFTs that allows companies to certify their products’ originality) for more than 30 companies. Over 200,000 NFTs have already been minted using Skey Network’s powerful tool, enabling the combination of a physical product with its digital representation.

Their mission is to make these advanced technologies available to any business, as reflected in their SkeyBox or SkeyTix platform, which leverages the power of NFT. In this way, any company can benefit from this technology’s security, transparency, and efficiency.

The effective adaptation of blockchain technology to market realities, makes Skey Network also standing out in the world of cryptocurrencies. The project that raised over $4M during the public sale, has reached an all-time high (ATH) of $0.55 according to the data provided in the CoinMarketCap, allowing participants in Round 1 to enjoy an exceptional 20x return on their investment.

This also highlights Skey Network’s ability to capture the attention and interest of the crypto community. As of now, Skey Network boasts almost 10,000 holders and a thriving community of more than 20,000 users, further solidifying its presence in the market.

Skey Network has positioned itself as one of the most significant IoT projects in the crypto space, offering tangible use cases and blockchain-powered products that streamline business operations.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / January 31, 2024 / Tapestry, Inc. (NYSE:TPR), a house of iconic accessories and lifestyle brands consisting of Coach, Kate Spade, and Stuart Weitzman, today released its Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 Corporate Responsibility (CR) report, outlining the company’s progress and efforts towards key environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals in the past fiscal year.

"At Tapestry, we believe that sustainability is a business imperative. Our actions help us maintain a growing business with a reliable supply chain, and we know both customers and employees want to engage with companies whose values align with their own," said Joanne Crevoiserat, Chief Executive Officer of Tapestry, Inc.

The Fabric of Change, Corporate Responsibly Strategy

Over the last year, Tapestry has continued to work toward a future that is both beautiful and responsible through its corporate responsibility strategy, the Fabric of Change. The report highlights the evolution of the purpose-led framework, which was introduced last year.

The Fabric of Change is Tapestry’s strategy for meeting the company’s commitments and goals in four key areas: people, planet, products and communities. The strategy is grounded in the belief that every beautiful choice can be a responsible choice.

In FY2023, Tapestry progressed the framework to meet the changing needs of the business, including the addition of a fourth pillar, "Create Products with Care." The new pillar focuses on advancing material innovation, circularity and making more responsible finished goods.

Highlights from Tapestry’s report include:

People

• Joined the Inclusion Works coalition of more than 100 Disability:IN corporate partners to further the journey of understanding and meeting the needs of associates, consumers and community members with disabilities.
• Expanded the Employee Business Resource Group (EBRG) membership network by 30% in FY2023. Tapestry’s EBRGs now include six formal groups and three taskforces, and which serve to bring employee voices together into the channels where they contribute to all four pillars of Tapestry’s Equity, Inclusion and Diversity framework – talent, culture, community and marketplace.

Planet

• Procured renewable energy for 80% of Tapestry’s global retail, offices and fulfillment centers and advanced efforts toward meeting the company’s renewable energy goal by entering into a 15-year Impact Renewable Energy Certificate agreement with Pivot Energy in Illinois and the launch of the Fashion Pact’s Collective Virtual Power Purchase Agreement (CVPPA), which commits to accelerating renewable electricity adoption by investing in new clean energy infrastructure.
• Announced a new Environmental Sustainability Framework for our suppliers, which will streamline Tapestry’s sustainability strategy and provide more direct support to supply chain partners, to help improve their environmental performance.

Products

• Celebrated the launch of a new sub-brand, Coachtopia, with a mission to accelerate the transition toward a circular economy.
• Sourced over 90% of the company’s leather from Gold- and Silver-rated LWG tanneries, achieving our 2025 goal two years ahead of schedule.

Communities

• Achieved the 2025 goal of donating $75 million in product and financial contributions globally two years early.
• Completed 82,300 hours of global employee volunteering, a 60% increase over FY2022 and putting Tapestry over one-third of the way to the company’s goal of 500,000 hours by 2030.

"Tapestry’s purpose is enduring: we stretch what’s possible every day, through our values as well as through our business ambitions," said Ms. Crevoiserat. "We’ll continue to forge ahead with this philosophy, driving positive impact in a world that’s evolving faster than ever."

Chemistry is the foundation of so many of Chemours products – which means it can be the foundation to a greener world too.

NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / January 31, 2024 / The Chemours Company
Originally published on Fortune

People often don’t associate chemistry companies with sustainability, clean tech, or decarbonization. However, upon closer examination, the technologies propelling us toward a net-zero economy are fundamentally rooted in chemistry.

Global chemistry company Chemours creates products that are essential components in everything from smartphones to semiconductor chips, refrigeration systems that preserve food and vaccines, and durable coatings for infrastructure. Additionally, the company is harnessing its chemistry to advance innovative green technologies. These include driving down the cost of renewable hydrogen, data-center immersion cooling, and manufacturing polymers for batteries that both reduce the financial cost of electric vehicles and extend their charge density and range.

Modeling responsible climate innovation

While green technologies are critical for a sustainable future, the responsible manufacturing of these innovative products is equally important to protect human health and the environment.

Chemours has sought to model how its industry should embrace responsible manufacturing and drive momentum toward a more sustainable planet. The Chemours Discovery Hub, a state-of-the-art, sustainably designed 312,000-square-foot research facility colocated on the University of Delaware Science, Technology, and Advanced Research (STAR) Campus, is at the heart of this initiative.

"A number of the innovations at the Chemours Discovery Hub are improving our process technology with a view to reducing emissions, improving our environmental signature, and putting the company on a path to achieve net zero [become carbon neutral] by 2050," says Mark Newman, president and CEO of Chemours.

The company is now driving its processes in the direction of several ambitious environmental targets under its corporate responsibility commitment goals.

These include a reduction in air and water process emissions of fluorinated organic chemicals by at least 99%, and a 60% absolute reduction of operations-related greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. The company is already more than halfway to achieving each target. Chemours is also seeking ways to grow its sustainable offering contribution, with 48% of its revenue already coming from offerings that make a specific contribution to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

Growing the number of STEM change-makers

On top of that, Chemours is contributing to a robust and diverse pipeline of future science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) talent who will help solve the challenges and meet the demands of an ever-changing world.

The colocation of its Chemours Discovery Hub at the University of Delaware showcases the company’s desire to encourage greater cross-disciplinary collaboration in chemical engineering and to help open the door for a young and diverse group of people to enter the industry at a time of progressive change. "Our Discovery Hub provides Chemours and the next generation of scientists the opportunity to collaborate, inspire one another, and develop new technologies," says Amber Wellman, chief sustainability officer of Chemours. "It’s a difficult environment to imitate elsewhere and will continue to generate new ideas for our business."

To ensure more people from more backgrounds have access to early STEM education and other resources, Chemours aims to invest $50 million in increasing access to STEM skills, safety initiatives, and sustainable environment programs across its local communities by 2030. Eighteen million dollars of that has already been committed. "Partnerships like the Chemours Discovery Hub and other programs are critical to investing in the next generation of innovators so that they can continue to solve the world’s biggest challenges using sustainable chemistry," says Newman.

The environmental and community investment goals set by Chemours are innately tied to the company’s commitment to helping to create a better world through the power of its chemistry. "We’re going beyond what’s required," says Wellman. "And we’re doing what’s right."

Chemours is a different kind of chemistry company, driven by our purpose to help create a better world through the power of our chemistry. From smart phones to other advanced electronics, high-speed communications, and connected devices via the Internet of Things to more climate-friendly refrigerants in our homes and cars, chemistry is at work.

The world needs our chemistry, so we are hard at work bringing solutions that are better, safer, more reliable, and sustainable. For more information, please visit www.chemours.com/en.
