One common theme: They feel their experience is supported and valued at Principal.

CJ Process improvement consultant  Captain, U.S. Air Force 
<figure role="group" class="align-center"><img alt="CJ (right) and his two older brothers while deployed in Saudi Arabia " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5db8b430-320d-410f-a328-a8a7b28accc2" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/Military%20Employees_Principal%20Financial%20Group_5.14.25B.png" width="640" height="600" loading="lazy" /><figcaption>Photo: CJ (right) and his two older brothers while deployed in Saudi Arabia.</figcaption></figure>Military journey 

I joined the International Guard when I was 18, starting basic training three weeks after I graduated high school. I started out as a jet mechanic and now have transitioned to an officer position leading a team. At first, I was primarily focused on the educational and life experience benefits, but I quickly became passionate about serving my country.

A family tradition

My two older brothers are in the Air Force as well. And when it comes to my brothers, I'm fairly impressionable. I love and look up to them a lot. So, I joined for that reason as well. We deployed together in 2021 to Saudi Arabia, which was a very unique experience.

From the military to Principal 

I joined Principal through the <a href="https://careers.principal.com/recent-graduates" target="_blank">rotational program</a>, which allowed me to explore different opportunities across the company, as I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do after I graduated college. I realized the culture is amazing, and the products we sell really do help people. I felt supported to provide value quickly and progress in my military career at the same time. Ultimately, I landed in Corporate Accounting and have been focused on continuous improvement efforts for the past six years.

Fulfilling dual responsibilities 

Principal has always allowed me to focus on my mission at hand. While working here, I’ve been deployed overseas once, activated twice—including during the COVID-19 pandemic—and have participated in multiple trainings that required time away. Throughout it all, I’ve felt nothing but support and gratitude from my Principal family. I’ve received heartfelt letters and generous gifts from my team. When I was deployed to Saudi Arabia, my peers were amazed by the care package sent by my Principal team; it was truly humbling and a powerful reminder of the support behind me.

Advocating for others

I think the biggest difficulty is the translation gap between how the military describes your responsibilities versus how corporate America would. I recommend finding a professional organization or a mentor who previously made that transition to help bridge that gap.

I had my brothers and a mentor who coached me through the transition. Now, I advocate for and coach younger airmen to identify the responsibility they hold; there's a lot of weight and power to it that they probably don't recognize.

<blockquote>
Closing the skills translation gap: When you <a href="https://careers.principal.com/careers-home/jobs" target="_blank">search for a job at Principal</a>, you can enter your MOS code to find roles that match your military skills.

Rhonda  Advisor care specialist Army veteran 
<figure role="group" class="align-center"><img alt="Rhonda during her time at the Pentagon " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="e1e8fdb6-6faf-42c4-8eb8-611f828221fd" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/Military%20Employees_Principal%20Financial%20Group_5.14.25C.jpg" width="384" height="550" loading="lazy" /><figcaption>Photo: Rhonda during her time at the Pentagon.</figcaption></figure>Military journey 

I entered the military right out of high school. I gained confidence and discipline through serving as a squad leader throughout basic training and as the designated class leader throughout extensive eight-month schooling. That experience earned me an opportunity to serve at the Pentagon for the Army Chief of Staff for Intelligence (and top-secret security clearance) at age 19.

From the military to Principal 

My time in the military provided me with skillsets to successfully navigate university (a disciplined approach to studying and time management) as well as the confidence and organizational skills needed for every step in my career, including my time at Principal since 2001.

Finding community 

In my early days at Principal, I joined the board of our Veteran Employee Resource Group (VERG), helping bring military community events and fundraisers to our satellite offices. There, I found camaraderie and community. Even though our experiences were different, it was fun to connect and see the passion that we all had for supporting veterans.

A note for potential military employees 

I think Principal is among the top tier of employers with their support of veterans. They actively seek out veterans and military people for employment. They view military experience as a huge asset. They know that veterans bring a lot to the table with their experience, and there's a good chance there’s a position that will fit you perfectly.

Shelby  Licensed senior client investment and expense associate Military mom and granddaughter 

A family tradition

Both my grandfathers are veterans. One served in Japan and the other is a Korean War combat veteran. Listening to them talk about their experiences instilled a sense of respect and appreciation for the sacrifices they made. Sharing military stories has also helped bridge connections across generations, as my two stepdaughters currently serve in the Marines.

Finding community at Principal

Being a mom of military service members means experiencing a wide range of emotions at any given period, including pride, worry, and anxiety, which can all affect your career. I’ve been able to network with other employees through VERG who were going through similar situations with their own children, along with military veterans who offered support and guidance along the way.

Leaning into flexibility 

One thing we've learned being a military family is that things can change quickly. It can be hard to schedule holidays and other family gatherings; sometimes we might only have a week’s advance notice. Fortunately, my leaders are incredible about giving me the flexibility to take time off when opportunities for family time come.

Military to corporate values 

The work environment at Principal is based on integrity, respect, community, and trust—very similar to that of the military. I am proud to work for a company with these strong values. Everything has a trickle effect. If I instill these same values in my home and in my family, my hope is that my children will continue to instill these values in their lives, whether in the military or civilian world.

A full circle moment 

After my grandpa passed, my grandmother wanted his clothes to go to another veteran. Through a VERG event, I had the opportunity to fulfill her wish at a local veteran’s shelter. That was a humbling, full circle moment.

Brands</a>

May 13, 2025 /CSRwire/ - Yum! Brands has long prioritized the integration of sustainable practices into its development strategy. If it was simply good for the environment, it’d be a nice-to-have, but the parent company of KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and Habit Burger &amp; Grill has identified both economical and eco-friendly ways to outfit its restaurants. In other words, Yum! believes that building green can help to save green.

Here's how the company does it.

In 2014, Yum! adopted sustainable development guidelines for its restaurants that have since influenced its brands’ current standards. These guidelines took inspiration from the <a href="https://www.usgbc.org/leed" target="_blank">Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program</a> and include aspects like strategically placed exhaust hoods and using appropriate lighting. But where they differ from LEED is that the Yum! guidelines leverage a scaled point system more specific to the quick-service restaurant industry with the goal of building more sustainable, energy efficient restaurants.
<img alt="Interior of Zamow" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3f80bd33-f984-43e1-92a7-a1ad79f24959" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/Green-Building_YumBrands_050625_2.png" width="640" class="align-center" height="803" loading="lazy" />“We meet our franchisees where they are, so they can build according to what makes the most sense for their budgets,” said Yum! Chief Sustainability Officer Jon Hixson. “Thankfully, most of the methods we’ve identified are both good for the environment and for business.”

Recently, the brands took these guidelines one step further, with KFC evolving its Building Green Standards through the introduction of its 11 must-haves and Pizza Hut developing its Green Hut Toolkit with its own set of requirements. These standards, built on the foundation of sustainability and resilience, are aimed at being a win-win that helps conserve resources while saving franchisees money.
<img alt="Exterior of Pizza Hut" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="0a875d27-0dbd-4e38-883c-390301ba75d0" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/Green-Building_YumBrands_050625_3.jpg" width="640" class="align-center" height="667" loading="lazy" />For Pizza Hut, optimized HVAC and exhaust hoods and efficiencies across equipment, refrigeration and lighting are all must-haves. A similar list applies to KFC’s set of standards. Habit Burger &amp; Grill, headquartered in California, is committed to ensuring that all U.S.-based restaurants meet or exceed the California Green Building Standards Code, the first-in-the-nation mandatory green building standards code.

Successful examples range from the obvious – LED lighting that led to emissions cuts of about 5% on average across the KFC restaurant portfolio in 2024 – to focusing on HVAC systems that enable a single Pizza Hut location to achieve around 30% in energy savings and prevent approximately 7 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions.

The brands also continue to evolve their standards. In 2023, KFC introduced its Green Line Furniture, which is developed and finished using recovered materials while maintaining performance and durability. In addition to the pieces of furniture being more sustainable, they also weigh significantly less, which means transportation of furniture to the restaurants generates fewer greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions – approximately 32% less!

Around the world, Energy Management Systems (EMS) are utilized by the brands to optimize operations and identify areas for further improvement. EMS provide monitoring and control services to maintain temperature and humidity in restaurants, as well as automatically adjust energy usage and identify issues or opportunities for optimization. In India, for example, EMS have been installed in 315 Pizza Hut and over 500 KFC restaurants resulting in approximately 7% savings on KFC’s electricity bill. Other brands and markets have seen similar results. Taco Bell U.S. also uses EMS to automatically control the temperatures in its HVAC and walk-in refrigerators in approximately 150 corporate locations in the highest energy use markets.
<img alt="Exterior of Taco Bell" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="ba8f9956-29c7-43c1-9b5e-9672eb34b1ef" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/Green-Building_YumBrands_050625_4.jpg" width="640" class="align-center" height="675" loading="lazy" />The company also takes a strategic approach to solar, analyzing the building footprint, cost of electricity and location’s access to the sun. KFC has solar panels on every continent that it operates, including one KFC in California, which operates its drive-thru entirely on solar power, saving its franchisee 20% off its energy costs.

These standards and additional efforts have helped Yum! earn external climate recognition from groups like CDP, a global organization that runs a leading sustainability disclosure system, as well as restaurants around the world becoming LEED-certified, including KFC in Thailand and Pizza Hut in Vietnam, and a KFC restaurant receiving Gold certification from India’s Green Building Council.

Because of this work, Yum! has made steady progress on its <a href="https://www.yum.com/wps/portal/yumbrands/Yumbrands/impact/planet/climate-action/" target="_blank">science-based climate targets</a>. At the end of 2023, the company achieved a 28% reduction of GHG emissions per franchisee restaurants compared to 2019, and Yum! continues to see cost savings through a range of technologies and programs.

“We’ve committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions per franchise restaurant by 46% by 2030, and we’re more than halfway to this target, thanks to our green building efforts,” Hixson said. “By saving our franchisees money and conserving energy, it’s a win for the company and our planet.”

Our deep expertise in cooling uniquely positions us to help bridge this gap,” said Denise Dignam, Chemours President and CEO. “Innovative liquid cooling solutions, like Opteon™, can help significantly reduce data center total cost of ownership through decreased energy, water, space, maintenance and capex demands, all while enabling next generation chip capability. Partnering with Navin Fluorine enables us to meet this critical market need.” 

The company’s proprietary <a href="https://www.opteon.com/en/products/thermal-management/2p50?utm_medium=3bl_q2-25&amp;utm_source=owned_3bl&amp;utm_content=article" target="_blank">Opteon™ fluid</a> offers an ultra-low global warming potential (10), a power usage effectiveness (PUE) approaching 1, and superior performance capabilities <a href="https://pages.chemours.com/ic-case-study-october-2024.html?utm_medium=3bl_q2-25&amp;utm_source=owned_3bl&amp;utm_content=article" target="_blank">compared to traditional or other liquid cooling technologies</a>. Nearly eliminating water use, reducing space requirements by 60%, and lowering energy consumption by up to 40% and cooling energy use by up to 90%, this technology represents benefits for data center operators and communities alike. 

The agreement with Navin Fluorine will bring this innovative technology to market quickly and efficiently. 

"Joining forces with Chemours to manufacture their new liquid cooling technology advances our mission to produce high-quality, innovative, and sustainable, high-growth-potential products in the specialty chemicals sector, while helping address a key industry challenge for data centers,” said Vishad Mafatlal, Navin Fluorine, Executive Chairman. “We’re excited to see this project come to fruition and look forward to continuing to deepen our partnership to meet the needs of the broader industry.”

The Opteon™ two-phase immersion cooling fluid is part of Chemours’ newly expanded Liquid Cooling Venture, which will leverage more than 90-years of expertise in thermal management to provide a comprehensive portfolio of data center cooling solutions, including direct-to-chip and immersion cooling technologies.

GoDaddy 2024 Sustainability Report: About GoDaddy | 2024 Sustainability Highlights

<img alt="2 different pieces of farm machinery " data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="c5ddc15d-bf08-4e85-ab5b-9f3cdd5acec6" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/Starlink_CNH_51625.jpg" width="640" class="align-center" height="1200" loading="lazy" /><a href="https://www.cnh.com/" target="_blank">CNH</a> (NYSE: CNH) announces that it has signed an agreement with Starlink, a subsidiary of SpaceX, to bring industry-leading satellite connectivity to farmers. This collaboration will provide customers of CNH brands, <a href="https://www.caseih.com/en-gb/unitedkingdom" target="_blank">Case IH</a>, <a href="https://agriculture.newholland.com/en-us/nar" target="_blank">New Holland</a> and <a href="https://www.steyr-traktoren.com/en/agriculture" target="_blank">STEYR</a>, with robust and affordable high-speed connectivity – further unlocking the benefits of a fully connected fleet – even in the most remote rural locations around the world.

“We’re thrilled to offer our customers access to industry-leading satellite connectivity, enabling them to maximize the potential of our full suite of precision technology in even the most challenging rural environments,” said Stefano Pampalone, Agriculture Chief Commercial Officer at CNH. 

How Starlink supercharges the delivery of CNH’s precision tech

Starlink's advanced satellite network offers reliable, low-latency internet. This enables our intelligent machines to communicate and coordinate efficiently, enhancing productivity and yield. It seamlessly integrates with our FieldOps™ digital platform, giving our customers visibility of their machines and providing data from anywhere, anytime. It also gives our customers greater data streaming capabilities by keeping their farm management devices consistently connected, regardless of location.

Prescription spraying is another powerful use case where Starlink’s fast and reliable transmission technology will benefit farming operations. The lack of connectivity in a market such as Brazil, for example, can make farm logistics challenging. CNH’s FieldXplorer platform uses AI to transform drone images into a field map that distinguishes between weeds and crop. With Starlink we can now export that data near instantaneously to create a prescription spraying map for the machine. This enables farmers to apply crop protection products sooner, controlling weeds earlier, which ultimately helps improve crop yields.

This collaboration underscores CNH’s ongoing commitment to equipping farmers with reliable, tailored solutions that meet the unique demands of agriculture, while amplifying the capabilities of precision technology from wherever they are.
