Have You Seen These Solar-Powered Posts in Georgia Among I-85 Wildflowers? Here’s What They Do.

There’s an 18-mile stretch of I-85 in west Georgia that serves as a testing ground for a number of sustainable transportation technologies. If you look out your window at the right time, you might spot a wildflower meadow with a skinny six-foot aluminum tower standing tall amidst the flowers. The Ray C. Anderson Memorial Highway runs from LaGrange to the Alabama border, and has been the site of 13 projects over nine years, focusing on safer highways, transportation infrastructure advancement and interstate pollution reduction and remediation, according to Allie Kelly, executive director of The Ray.

The Ray is a nonprofit created by the Ray C. Anderson Foundation based in Georgia that facilitates projects on the highway, among other nationwide sustainable transportation work. One of those 13 projects is what The Ray calls their Landscape Lab, and just last year, the PheNode was incorporated in the project, too.

Clorox Change Maker Brings Curiosity, Empathy and Courage to the Workplace

The Clorox Change Makers initiative spotlights people who actively celebrate diversity, promote inclusion and practice allyship, making a positive impact on our business and culture. 

In this installment, we focus on Kristen Moore, an enterprise data governance steward in our IT function. Kirsten was nominated by a colleague on her team, Annette Keil. We spoke with them to learn more about what Kristen’s allyship looks like in action.

Why did you nominate Kristen as a Change Maker? What makes her an ally?

Annette: I nominated Kristen as a Change Maker because she embodies the core behaviors of an ally: curiosity, empathy and courage. She actively seeks to understand her colleagues’ experiences, shows genuine compassion, and stands up for fairness and equity. Her actions inspire and create a positive, inclusive environment.

How has Kristen’s allyship made an impact for you and others at Clorox?

Annette: Kristen’s allyship has significantly impacted our team by fostering a supportive and collaborative atmosphere. Her empathy and courage in addressing difficult situations, along with her commitment to promoting fairness and inclusion, have served as a powerful inspiration for me and others to be better allies.

What does IDEA, and specifically allyship, mean to you?

Kristen: IDEA is about creating an environment where people feel valued, supported and safe being themselves. Allyship is a key pillar in supporting others to reach this goal. For me, allyship is really about getting to know people from different perspectives and different backgrounds and being open to truly listen to who they are, pausing judgment and coming from a place of curiosity.

What tips do you have for others to put allyship into action in their day-to-day lives?

Kristen: To put allyship into action, there are really three things I would recommend:

Have the courage to bring your full self to the table.Practice compassion by recognizing that we are all made of strengths and struggles and have taken very different roads to get to where we are.Connect with people through active listening and remember that every interaction is an opportunity to practice.

To live our purpose and values, we must build a workplace where every person can feel respected and valued, and fully able to participate in our Clorox community. We aim to lead by example, at every level within the company, and to continually challenge ourselves to do better. Learn more about our inclusion and diversity efforts here.

New Executive Order Pauses Certain Funding Under IRA and IIJA

Authored by Baker Tilly’s Robert Moczulewski and Beckett Woodworth

On his first day in office, President Trump signed an executive order titled Unleashing American Energy that directs federal agencies to pause disbursements of certain funds under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 and the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) of 2021. According to Section 7 of the order, agencies must suspend Inflation Reduction Act grants, loans, and other financial mechanisms, including those supporting electric vehicle infrastructure, until they complete a 90-day review to ensure alignment with the administration’s energy policy.

While the executive order’s full implications are still developing, affected programs include, but are not limited to:

National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula ProgramCharging and Fueling Infrastructure Discretionary Grant Program

During the 90-day review period, each agency will assess the consistency of its processes with the new policy and submit recommendations to both the Director of the National Economic Council (NEC) and the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Disbursements may resume only if deemed consistent with any adopted recommendations.

At this stage, it remains unclear whether the pause covers all prospective funding, such as direct pay provisions under the IRA, or if it applies solely to grants, loans and contracts administered at the federal level. Pausing funding already appropriated by Congress may prompt legal challenges, though the administration can impose interim review processes. Any resulting delays could affect organizations and projects depending on future allocations under these statutes.

Connect with a Baker Tilly specialist to see how this executive order may affect specific projects or timelines.

Logitech Makes It Easier To Repair Your Electronic Devices and Keep Them Longer

LAUSANNE, Switzerland and SAN JOSE, Calif., January 23, 2025 /3BL/ – Logitech International (SIX: LOGN) (Nasdaq: LOGI) announces the availability of original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement parts for more than 20 Logitech devices on the Logitech Repair Hub, hosted by iFixit. This action marks a significant global expansion, with spare parts and repair guides now offered in multiple languages to enhance repairability worldwide.

Celebrating the UN International Day of Clean Energy With Global Port Innovations

As we celebrate the UN International Day of Clean Energy, one thing is clear: clean energy is no longer just a lofty goal — it’s a global imperative. Which is why logistics and supply chains, which historically have been responsible for as much as 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions, are stepping up. Ports, the beating hearts of international trade, are uniquely positioned to lead the charge in slashing emissions and embracing renewable energy.

At DP World, this isn’t just talk — it’s action. The company is rolling out clean energy innovations worldwide, not least in our Americas backyard. Innovations that are already making waves (pun intended). From electric vehicles to solar panels and mangrove reforestation, DP World is proving that you can be green without sacrificing efficiency — or profits.

Ports as Clean Energy Trailblazers

Let’s face it: logistics and freight have been major culprits when it comes to emissions, with road freight alone accounting for 53% of trade-related transport emissions. If we’re serious about decarbonizing supply chains, we need to electrify fleets, ditch dirty fuels, and power up with renewables.

Take Canada, for example. DP World is deploying Electric Light-Medium Vehicles (E-LMVs) across its facilities, including three already operational at the Prince Rupert Terminal. These vehicles draw power from Canada’s 98.5% green energy grid, slashing lifecycle emissions by up to 50% while saving $27,170 per vehicle over their lifetimes. Not bad, right?

But Canada is just one piece of the puzzle. Ports throughout the region are joining the clean energy revolution.

Global Clean Energy Innovations

In Argentina, DP World is leaning heavily into renewables. Starting in September of 2024, 80% of the terminal’s energy is now coming from a national wind farm, soon due for the completion of its certification by the International Renewable Energy Certificate (I-REC). This move has cut CO₂ emissions by 35.7%, in addition to the solar panels already powering facilities like employee changing rooms.

Meanwhile, in Brazil, DP World is expanding its solar capacity while already using I-REC-certified renewable energy for operations. They’ve even integrated 10% biodiesel into their fuel mix for equipment like Rubber-Tired Gantries (RTGs) and Internal Terminal Vehicles (ITVs) — a move that’s not only eco-friendly but also practical in a country known for its biofuel leadership. They have already invested more than US$16.2 million transitioning their fleet of 22 RTGs to fully electric power, reducing the terminal’s diesel consumption by up to 60%.

Chile is fully invested in the movement too. Both the San Antonio and Lirquén terminals have swapped diesel powered cranes for electric ones, running on 100% renewable energy through partnership with Colbún S.A. Incorporating renewable energy has reduced the terminals’ emissions by 58% and 40% respectively. Between the two terminals, this is equivalent to removing more than 1,000 combustion vehicles and planting almost 50,000 trees a year.

In the Dominican Republic, it’s all about solar. DP World has invested nearly $2 million in solar energy, installing panels with an impressive 1.9 MW capacity to power administrative buildings and warehouses. On top of that, the port uses electric equipment, including 28 forklifts, 11 quay cranes, and 4 Light-Vehicles, reducing fossil fuel reliance while keeping operations humming.

When Clean Energy Meets Nature

Ecuador takes a different approach by blending renewable energy with nature-based solutions. The hydroelectric-powered DP World Posorja terminal is a shining example, but the real star is the Sembrando Vida Project. Over 250,000 mangroves have been planted across 105 hectares, sequestering 50,719 tons of CO₂ and benefiting more than 160 direct beneficiaries of fishing groups. The project doesn’t just fight climate change — it protects ecosystems and supports the local community.

Not to be outdone, Peru is making bold moves at DP World Callao. 123 solar panels generate 5% of the energy powering electric charging stations, the first terminal in Latin America to operate with this infrastructure. IREC-certified hydroelectric energy supplies 100% of the terminal’s electricity. A fleet of 20 ITVs, 12 RTGs, 3 new quay cranes (QCs), 4 pickup trucks and 2 vans is already operational, with 10 of the RTGs already converted from diesel to electric. These efforts have already slashed scope 1 and 2 emissions by 20% between 2023 and 2024, saving more than 11,690 tons of CO₂ from the atmosphere, showing how renewable energy and electrification can deliver results.

In Suriname, DP World is tapping into the country’s 50% hydroelectric energy grid to power electric forklifts, replacing old diesel models. Solar energy is also making an impact, with solar lamps in remote cabins and pinning stations powered by the sun.

Why It Matters

These efforts aren’t just feel-good stories — they’re critical to meeting global climate goals. From Canada’s net-zero by 2050 target to Ecuador’s mangrove reforestation, DP World’s initiatives show that clean energy isn’t just good for the planet — it’s good for business.

The logistics industry is poised to benefit from a green logistics market worth $350 billion by 2030. By adopting clean energy solutions across its global operations, DP World is setting the standard for sustainable port operations while helping the world decarbonize.

A Call to Action

Here’s the bottom line: clean energy isn’t just the future — it’s the present. For ports and supply chains, the shift to sustainable practices is no longer optional. Collaboration between businesses, policymakers, and tech innovators is key to accelerating this transition.

At DP World, the proof is in the results. From electric vehicles in Canada to solar panels in Suriname, the company is showing how sustainability and operational excellence go hand in hand.

The International Day of Clean Energy is a reminder of what’s possible when innovation meets determination. Ports around the world are proving that clean energy isn’t just a dream — it’s reality, one electric vehicle, solar panel, and mangrove seedling at a time.
