Minimizing Waste Emissions with Smart Dumpsters: Community Changemaker Jason Gates

May 27, 2022

Jason Gates, CEO and cofounder of Compology, has taken smart technology to a new level with the development of smart dumpsters. The technology helps companies reduce disposal costs, recycling contamination, and the number of miles trucks drive to empty dumpsters.

How Publicly-Traded Companies May Be Required to Report on Climate Risk

May 11, 2022

Climate change is impacting the way everyone lives and does business. For individuals, personal accountability and passion is what keeps us moving ahead in the face of uncertainty. But businesses are often not held accountable for their climate-affecting actions. A new set of rules may require publicly-traded companies to disclose the climate change related risks associated with their businesses.

In March, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released a statement outlining proposed rules that would require publicly-held companies to provide climate risk data and greenhouse gas emissions to regulators and investors. Companies would also be responsible for reporting annually on progress toward their targets. The rules come at a time when many of us wonder how much of a company’s sustainability report is greenwashing and how much is climate action. And why does the SEC have oversight over this and not the Environmental Protection Agency?
