INNIO Group Announces That Its Jenbacher Brand is a Winner of the COGEN Europe Recognition Award 2023 for Market Development

BRUSSELS, BELGIUM, Jul 5, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – INNIO Group (INNIO*) today announced that its Jenbacher* product brand has been selected as a winner of the COGEN Europe Recognition Award 2023 for Market Development (Organization).

The Jenbacher team, as part of INNIO, was recognized for its expertise in designing truly integrated energy systems that can be replicated at the local level across diverse settings and in various applications in both communities and industries. The jury lauded the Jenbacher experts for their approach to sector development, which focuses on the cost-effective decarbonization of entire energy systems while following system integration principles.

COGEN Europe referenced four major Jenbacher projects in Germany that demonstrate what future energy systems can look like: Stadtwerke Kiel AG, Stadtwerke Tubingen, Stadtwerke Bad Sackingen GmbH, and Burger Energie Neckar Enz (B.E.N.E.) GmbH & Co. KG. These projects combine wind and/or solar, cogeneration plants, renewable gases, large heat pumps, and storage with intelligent plant management.

Jenbacher technology is empowering industries and communities to reduce CO2 emissions significantly. All new Jenbacher engines can be converted to operate on up to 100% hydrogen once hydrogen is available.

"Efficiency must pay off! Only with cogeneration will it be possible to sufficiently relieve the electricity grids and thus ensure a secure, affordable, and climate-neutral energy future," said Dr. Olaf Berlien, president and CEO of INNIO. "Decentralized, flexible combined heat and power plants are needed to ensure a resilient power and heat supply."

"INNIO is helping Europe move toward climate neutrality," said Hans Korteweg, managing director for COGEN Europe. "INNIO's relentless search for reliable and efficient energy solutions is helping Europe meet energy needs while also empowering the way to net zero. INNIO's work as a pioneer in fuel flexible cogeneration serves as a prime example of developing, applying, and promoting cogeneration to help meet the energy challenges of today and tomorrow."

COGEN Europe Recognition Awards recognize organizations and individuals for their achievements in developing, applying, and promoting cogeneration in Europe. This year, the winners were chosen by a jury of industry professionals, NGOs, and representatives of the research community with broad sector knowledge.

Solar Powered Sunscreen: EcoZinc a World First in Sustainable Zinc Oxide Innovation

BRISBANE, AUS, Jun 29, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Advance ZincTek, Australia's leading manufacturer of natural Sunscreen Actives, announces the launch of EcoZinc, the world's first solar-powered, non-nano zinc oxide powder for SPF-rated cosmetics and sunscreens. EcoZinc not only minimizes environmental impact, but also achieves a dramatic reduction in carbon emissions-saving over 1011g of CO2 per kilowatt of energy used compared to traditional zinc oxide production.

Solar Installation

Engineered via Advance ZincTek's state-of-the-art ZinClear XP architecture, it ensures unmatched sustainability & uniform particle distribution in five BET ranges. Offering 23.08% more absorbance at a wavelength of 290nm than some competitors, EcoZinc merges top-tier skin protection and sustainability.

"EcoZinc represents a major evolution for both skincare brands and consumers striving to protect their skin and the planet," said Advance ZincTek's Managing Director Geoff Acton. "Our 100% solar-powered manufacturing process testifies to our resolution to spearhead the industry transition towards safer, sustainable sun protection."

EcoZinc's eco-friendly zinc oxide provides an integral solution for reef-safe cosmetics that meet the stringent regulations of regions such as Hawaii, Mexico, and Thailand. Through EcoZinc, companies can eliminate harmful synthetic chemicals from their products, significantly minimizing the impact on marine life.

Advance ZincTek's recent announcement on June 21, 2023, revealed a significant Australian sunscreen manufacturer's commitment to transition to EcoZinc for all their products, indicating a marked shift in industry preference towards safer, sustainable sunscreen ingredients.

Joseph Mizikovsky, product lead for Reef Safe, a new brand leveraging EcoZinc in its formulations, noted the industry's necessity for such a shift. "We're thrilled to be part of the sustainable innovation that EcoZinc brings. Numerous sunscreen brands, including many renowned Australian labels, typically rely on chemical UV filters; however, none have been deemed safe and effective by the US FDA (Food and Drug Administration). With EcoZinc, we aim to establish a new standard, prioritizing safety and sustainability to minimize environmental impact, especially in sensitive areas like marine parks and reefs. Zinc oxide remains the only broad spectrum UV filter approved as safe and effective by the FDA," stated Mizikovsky.

Reef Safe's incorporation of EcoZinc into their sunscreen signifies not just the delivery of a product that meets the highest global sustainability and safety standards but also endorses the global shift towards clean, green, and safe sun care solutions.

Fulfilling Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) commitments, EcoZinc provides benefits that directly aid corporate ESG adherence, thereby enabling companies to achieve their sustainability goals while delivering exceptional products.

GMEX ZERO13 and Zumo collaborate on new carbon credit offering for banks and corporates

LONDON, Jun 19, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – ZERO13, a GMEX Group initiative providing a digital climate fintech aggregation ecosystem, and Zumo, the B2B digital assets infrastructure, announce a collaborative solution targeted at banks and their corporate and institutional clients who are looking to account for the carbon footprint of their digital assets and any aspect of their value chain.

The integrated solution will seek to enable Zumo to leverage GMEX ZERO13's hub connectivity to digital carbon registries, trade execution venue capability and its decentralised asset settlement network to source validated, high-quality, tokenised carbon credits. The solution will also provide customers with a flexible and transparent way to account for their carbon footprint through the procurement and custody of tokenised carbon credits, with ease of trading, clearing and settlement.

Zumo's established position as an FCA-registered UK entity will enable GMEX ZERO13 to harness Zumo's capabilities to onboard new banks, corporates and other institutions to its trading platform. This will support clients in their efforts to execute ESG Strategies with the help of blockchain technology.

Hirander Misra, CEO of GMEX Group and ZERO13, commented, "We are delighted to be able to unite the twin pillars of tokenisation and voluntary carbon markets with Zumo. Tokenised assets will represent some 10% of global GDP by 2030, while the global market for voluntary carbon credits is also forecast to increase exponentially in the coming decade. By leveraging the integrated tools from Zumo and distribution capabilities available through the ZERO13 platform, we can together deliver a transparent and trusted way for organisations to effectively trade, clear and settle their carbon credit purchases in a manner publicly verifiable by stakeholders."

Nick Jones, CEO of Zumo added: "This collaboration supports our ambition to be the one-stop shop for tokenised ESG assets and follows the recent launch of Oxygen, our B2B solution that quantifies electricity-based Scope 3 emissions associated with digital asset holdings with blockchain-verified Renewable Energy Certificates. Blockchain is emerging as a 'digital enabler' in tackling climate change and supporting the energy transition to a more sustainable infrastructure. Tokenising carbon credits and being able to accurately measure carbon footprint is a great example of the regenerative finance (ReFi) movement."

Key to the collaboration will be enabling Zumo's customers to operate their own and/or access trading platforms and associated liquidity pools for high-quality carbon credit assets and other instruments, and to provide end-to-end efficiency through the transaction lifecycle from onboarding (KYC/AML) to settlement. Through the GMEX ZERO13 Hub and ZERO13 Chain (Pyctor), banks and their customers can connect seamlessly with each other and with third-party registries, exchanges, and other counterparties to issue, trade, clear and settle tokenised carbon credits.

New Research from Kincentric Redefines Inclusion and Suggests Leaders Are Responsible for Creating a Culture of Inclusion in the Workplace

KUALA LUMPUR, Jun 12, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Despite professed commitments to create a more inclusive workplace, many organizations still struggle to gain traction, according to a new report by Kincentric, the part of global leadership advisory firm Spencer Stuart that is specifically focused on unlocking the power of people and teams to ignite change and achieve organizational success. Based on a survey of nearly 5000 employees across the globe, the research reveals the critical role leaders play to drive inclusion, with benefits ranging from better employee retention and engagement to improved team agility during challenging times.

According to Kincentric's findings, there are four key elements required for inclusion in the workplace: people are valued, are enabled to use their voice, have decision-making influence and can contribute their best. However, in this latest research, 73% of employees report having experienced exclusion in the workplace, while only one in three employees say they work in a culture that powers inclusion – one that lifts everyone up and in which everyone is treated fairly, has equal opportunities and can speak up, be heard and respected.

Kincentric conducted the study to better define and understand the experiences that drive or derail inclusion and demonstrate its impact on overall business performance, and their full report shares several notable findings:

– Ultimately, inclusive cultures are created at the top. Leaders must walk the talk and model inclusive behaviors or risk their credibility. Nearly 1 out of 3 employees view senior leadership actions as performative or insincere when words are not backed up by action. Of those employees who question the sincerity of their leaders' actions, only 3% report experiencing a culture of inclusion.

– In general, senior leaders often have a more favorable outlook on inclusion than employees. Senior leaders are having a more favorable day-to-day experience of inclusion (62%) than managers (48%) or employees (26%). This is causing a disconnect between leader's perceptions and employee's reality.

– Inclusion drives retention and engagement. Individuals at workplaces they describe as inclusive are twice as likely to stay with their organization and three times more likely to have a sense of belonging than those who don't.

– Inclusion can maximize the potential of people and teams, creating better team dynamics and expanding skill sets across teams. Additionally, employees that report experiencing inclusion in the workplace are four times more equipped to navigate challenges and work collaboratively to find solutions in the face of conflicting opinions.

"Leaders can make or break an inclusive culture. Inclusion doesn't just happen – Inclusion is leader-led and must be intentional," says Dnika J. Travis, Ph.D., Director of Research and Insights at Kincentric, who led the research. "Creating a culture of inclusion is a business imperative. It ensures every employee is valued and able to fully contribute to the organization, delivering a number of advantages, including improvements in retention, engagement and team performance."

Kincentric offers actionable advice to leaders looking to build a culture of inclusion:

– Take charge with an unwavering commitment: Inclusion must be embedded in everything you do, from the talent systems that drive consistency in your employee experience to words, behaviors and actions that reinforce a culture of inclusion that enables people to thrive. As a leader, you must be willing to talk about the difficult aspects of your culture and shift performance management processes to root out and address bias. It is also crucial that you put processes in place that deal with and eliminate any acts of exclusion and mistreatment you observe – don't leave it to anyone else to tackle.

– Be willing to embrace discomfort. CEOs and senior leaders can achieve greater impact by not shying away from tough, unsurfaced, or polarizing aspects of an organization's culture. As a leader, not acknowledging, validating, or truly understanding what is happening within your organization undermines your credibility and employees may perceive this as a lack of sincerity in your efforts. You must also have the courage to address your own non-inclusive behaviors while challenging others to do the same.

– Embrace failures and adopt the right mindset. Achieving inclusion requires a firm commitment to learning and refining your approach based on data, insights, and the experiences of the people you are seeking to include. You and your organization will make mistakes, but that doesn't necessarily mean what you're doing is not working; it's what you do next that is most vital.

– Step back and take stock. Be honest with yourself. How have your assumptions around organizational cultural norms impacted your ability to lead inclusively? Have your actions affected your credibility, and are there any steps you need to take to redress this? You must hold yourself and everyone else in the organization accountable for building a true culture of inclusion – in which all employees are valued and can contribute their full potential.
