Throughout the month of April, Nielsen employees celebrated Global Volunteer Month with volunteering and environmental activities, culminating with our twelfth annual Earth Day call-to-action on April 24th, 2025.

For the second year in a row, Global Volunteer Month provided an ongoing opportunity for Nielsen to achieve together through community engagement. All employees have 24 hours of annual volunteer time to participate in volunteering events with nonprofit and non-governmental organizations throughout the year, and many Nielsen employees took advantage of this benefit in April.

One of the leaders shared:

“Volunteering unites us around a common goal and powers team-building for our people,” shared Ana Lucía Álvarez Parra, Team Lead for Rich Media LatAm and Cares BRG Leader in Mexico. “It also offers our people opportunities to take on leadership roles. And it’s a fun and rewarding way to break up our regular work routines while creating a shared sense of pride and connection to our community and the Nielsen organization.”

Nielsen Celebrates 2025 Global Volunteer Month and Earth Day

<img alt="two people standing in a forest" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6ff4ee55-deac-4f08-ac01-c4803af03f2b" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/identifies-special-sites_PotlatchDeltic_071625.jpg" width="640" class="align-center" height="1280" loading="lazy" />Sustainable forestry requires a thoughtful balance between responsible resource management and the protection of ecologically, culturally, and historically significant sites. At PotlatchDeltic, foresters combine technology with hands-on expertise to identify and preserve these special places, so that forests remain productive while safeguarding their conservation value.

Some areas within working forests hold unique ecological or cultural importance. These sites may include rare ecosystems, critical wildlife habitats, historic landmarks, and indigenous cultural sites. PotlatchDeltic follows rigorous standards, as required by the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) and Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI®) standards. Identifying and protecting these places requires more than just policy - it takes careful planning, innovative technology, and deep local knowledge.

Before any operational activities begin, foresters follow a robust standard operating procedure, which includes using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to analyze spatial data, overlay habitat and environmental restrictions, and pinpoint areas that require special care. By identifying these areas early, foresters can make informed decisions that balance conservation with responsible land use.

Technology has significantly improved the ability to detect and protect special sites. For example, drone technology has helped foresters locate sensitive wildlife habitats, such as gopher tortoise burrows, that might otherwise go unnoticed. However, technology alone isn’t enough. Engaging with local stakeholders, including indigenous groups and historical societies, adds a crucial layer of insight. These collaborations help verify a site’s cultural and environmental significance.

Once identified, these special sites can become an integral part of PotlatchDeltic’s conservation strategy. Protections are embedded into the company’s GIS database, so that conservation measures can be considered in connection with timber harvesting, road placement, and land-use planning. Foresters carefully tailor conservation efforts to each site’s unique needs. In areas with endangered species, buffer zones are established, and harvest schedules may be adjusted to minimize disturbance. For newly discovered nesting sites, forestry operations may be postponed until the nesting season concludes, so that wildlife populations can remain undisturbed. In riparian zones, best management practices focus on protecting water quality and maintaining habitat conditions for aquatic species.

Training plays a vital role in maintaining these protections. Foresters and contractors are equipped with knowledge and tools that enable them to recognize special places in the course of their field work. Structured environmental management systems bring conservation priorities to the forefront, with automated planning tools that flag restrictions tied to sensitive areas. Annual inspections and compliance monitoring on larger, unique aeras further reinforce these safeguards, so that special places can continue to provide ecological and cultural value over time.

The importance of safeguarding special places has never been greater. By integrating technology, stakeholder engagement, and best management practices, the company takes steps to safeguard critical habitats, historic sites, and high conservation value areas while maintaining a sustainable supply of timber. PotlatchDeltic’s approach demonstrates that sustainable forestry and conservation can coexist.

The annual awards which took place in Dubai last month, celebrate organizations across the UAE that lead the way in nurturing positive work environments, inspiring innovation, and putting their employees at the heart of their success stories.

Family-owned spirits company Bacardi is known for its unique culture and for encouraging diversity of thought in its people. In the UAE, where the team consists of more than 60 people with 15 different nationalities, regular cultural celebrations within the company allow the team to build deeper connections and a better understanding of and respect for each other's heritage and viewpoints.

“At Bacardi, we create an environment where everyone can be appreciated for who they are, what they do and who they can become – this award shows that’s working,” says Claire Palmer, VP, Human Resources for Asia, Middle East &amp; Africa and Global Travel Retail at Bacardi. “Up against some really tough competition, our strong culture, the happiness of our team and the diversity of our talent ensured Bacardi stood out.”

The judging panel recognized Bacardi for its holistic approach to Belonging — not just as a value, but as a leadership imperative – and its focus on every stage of its employees’ time at the company; from attracting values-aligned talent to fostering growth, wellbeing, everyday rituals that create connection, recognition, and lifelong brand ambassadorship.

In 2020, Bacardi <a href="https://www.3blmedia.com/news/bacardi-uae-raises-bar-first-spirits-company-middle-east-be-great-place-work-certifiedtm" target="_blank">became the first spirits company in the Middle East to be certified by Great Place to Work®.</a> Last year, Bacardi globally was recognized by Forbes among <a href="https://www.bacardilimited.com/media/news-archive/forbes-names-bacardi-among-worlds-best-employers-in-2024/" target="_blank">“World’s Best Employers”</a> and <a href="https://www.bacardilimited.com/media/news-archive/bacardi-among-top-companies-for-women-by-forbes-in-2024/" target="_blank">“Top Companies for Women”</a>.

<figure role="group" class="align-center"><img alt="Monica after surgery" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f5674fd1-88d5-452f-80c6-d58afd2e8688" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/recuperation.png" width="640" height="615" loading="lazy" /><figcaption>Monica Santamaria after her scoliosis surgery</figcaption></figure>As kids go, Monica Santamaria was always on the move. 

“She absolutely loved swimming, volleyball, decorating and painting,” said her father, Roberto. “Her passion was contagious. She wore us out in a good way. We never saw any hints of physical problems. She was perfectly healthy.”

That all changed when Monica turned 6.

Her parents noticed her body curved to the left when she walked, and a similar curve began forming in her back. Doctors in Monica’s hometown of Managua, Nicaragua did a variety of tests and eventually diagnosed her with scoliosis, a severe and painful curvature of the spine that sometimes afflicts children, generally girls, during growth spurts.

“We had never heard of scoliosis and so the news was devastating,” Roberto remembers. “The more we learned, the more frightened we became.” 

Monica experienced many symptoms: back pain, pain in her lower limbs, cramps, fatigue, headaches, and trouble sleeping. Suddenly the girl with so much energy and love for sports couldn’t participate in gym class or play games that might hurt her back.

“I felt sad because I had so much fun doing those things but then I couldn’t,” Monica said. “Sometimes I had to play by myself because the teachers didn’t want my classmates to hurt me accidentally.” 

From desperation to hope

Scoliosis can often be treated through spine surgery, but such care is not available in Nicaragua. The Santamarias learned through their spine specialist about the medical missions of <a href="https://www.spinehope.org/" target="_blank">SpineHope</a>, a U.S. based nonprofit that brings together surgeons, donated medical and surgical equipment, and teams of volunteers to take scoliosis treatment to various countries, including Nicaragua.

“It’s the most altruistic thing I’ve ever seen,” said Toby Hernandez, a sales rep in the Medtronic Cranial and Spinal Technologies Operating Unit who volunteers with SpineHope. “These children, these families, have no other options. They’re desperate. When they learn their child is going to get help, it’s a very emotional moment. Everybody in the room is crying, including us.”

The volunteer teams typically take two to four mission trips every year. Three missions are planned for 2025. Each trip involves prepping, packing, shipping and setting up an entire, functioning operating room in another country — roughly 30 bins of precision medical equipment and spine implants.

“It’s hard work, but it’s life-changing work and it’s all for these families and these children,” said Whitney Scurlock-Wood, a Medtronic spinal sales representative who has volunteered with SpineHope for the last four years. “Seeing the difference we make in people’s lives is just amazing. I take away something from every mission trip I go on.”
<figure role="group" class="align-center"><img alt="Whitney and Monica" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="2156e23b-5691-4812-a6c2-3813e96bde00" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/whitney%20and%20monica.png" width="640" height="1293" loading="lazy" /><figcaption>Monica with Whitney Scurlock-Wood, a Medtronic spinal sales representative who has volunteered with SpineHope for the last four years</figcaption></figure>The team often performs several procedures on each mission. Occasionally, SpineHope’s case assessment concludes the patient should be brought to the U.S. for surgery, and that’s what happened with Monica.

“It didn’t hurt anymore”

For a month before surgery, Monica wore a halo-gravity traction device, which is a way of gently stretching the spine before surgery. Doctors attached a metal ring to Monica’s head and slowly added weights to a pulley system to apply traction to her spine. Eventually the system weighed 35 pounds, almost half of Monica’s body weight. But the process reduced her spine curvature by almost 50 percent, from 127 degrees to 73 degrees, and prepared her for the surgery.  

Then, volunteer surgeons used donated Medtronic spine products in the procedure to straighten her curved spine.

Several Medtronic volunteers participated in the eight-hour operation.

Monica’s recovery started almost immediately.  “The medical assistants helped her stand up the day after surgery and she took her first steps,” Roberto said. “It was incredible. Amazing.” 

Seven days later, Monica left the hospital, no longer in pain and walking on her own. "It didn’t hurt anymore and I could do the things I liked to do again,” she said. 

Today, Monica is back to swimming, playing volleyball, skating, and painting — activities she always loved but had to limit due to her condition. Her mood changed drastically; her smile is back and she’s happily looking forward to a life full of new possibilities.

“I’m grateful to everyone on my care team for everything they’ve done for me,” Monica said. “They gave me my life back.”

Medtronic has partnered with SpineHope ever since its formation in 2008—helping change the lives of more than 200 young patients.

“Medtronic is so committed to doing the right thing for the right people, Hernandez said. “It’s amazing and inspiring to be a part of it.”

At the program’s virtual kickoff event, students heard opening remarks from Dr. Robert A. Winn, Director of VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center and namesake of the program. He emphasized the urgency and importance of engaging communities in research — not only for maximum generalizability of the results, but also to expand access to new therapies and offer patients from all communities new options – and hope – when the standard of care is no longer enough.

Winn Excellence in Clinical Trials Award Program</figcaption></figure>“The world needs researchers who are committed to bringing new treatments to every community, and ensuring those communities are included in clinical trials,” said Dr. Winn. “That’s the only way we can make sure that new treatments work safely for everyone.”

Representatives from some of the program’s funding partners — the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation (its establishing partner), as well as Gilead Sciences and Amgen — also shared their support and encouraged students to remain focused and inspired throughout their journeys. The keynote address, delivered by Dr. Brian Rivers, PhD, MPH, Director of the Cancer Health Equity Institute at the Morehouse School of Medicine, illuminated persistent gaps in healthcare and emphasized the importance of researcher-community partnerships to close those divides.

Winn Excellence in Clinical Trials Award Program</figcaption></figure>​​“Ensuring that clinical trials reflect the populations affected by disease is not just a scientific imperative – it is a matter of ensuring all communities benefit from medical progress,” said Catharine Grimes, President of the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation, an independent charitable organization with a mission to improve global health. “The students joining the Clinical Investigator Pathway Program represent the next generation of physician-scientists who will lead with purpose, challenge the status quo, and drive meaningful change in how clinical research is conducted.”

The Winn Awards program is unique in its support by multiple pharmaceutical companies, foundations, and organizations collaborating toward a shared goal that they recognize as an urgent priority.

“Gilead Sciences is honored to be a part of this effort and for our ability to collaborate with other industry partners,” said Bilal Piperdi, MD, FACP, Vice President, Clinical Development Oncology. “Right now, the industry really needs to hold our hands together to get important things done – and the Winn Awards is the right place to be at the right time for this. We are thankful to all who are here with us.”

Osa Eisele, MD, MPH, Executive Director and Head of Representation in Clinical Research at Amgen agreed. “True progress in healthcare comes from partnerships that listen, learn, and uplift communities,” she said. “The Winn CIPP is exactly that — an inspiring program that brings together the next generation of clinical investigators and the people they aim to serve, helping to ensure research reflects all patients. Amgen is honored to stand alongside the Winn Awards in advancing this critical work.”

Winn CIPP Welcomes Cohort 4 Medical Students Focused on Connecting Communities to Clinical Research

<img alt="Two FedEx employees at work" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="edcc2de7-9b41-4bdd-ad98-aa8efd67c565" src="/sites/default/files/inline-images/how-logistics-industry-unlocking-youth-employment-South-Africa_FEDEX_070725.png" width="640" class="align-center" height="563" loading="lazy" />With South Africa’s youth unemployment rate sitting at a staggering 62.4%, finding sustainable job opportunities for young people has become an urgent national priority. While many sectors are stagnating, logistics is booming – fueled by the rise of e-commerce, digital innovation and global trade – creating a new wave of career paths.

“From supply chain analytics and IT systems integration to customer experience and compliance, logistics is evolving into a dynamic, tech-enabled industry that offers diverse professional avenues for South Africa’s youth,” said Gregory Saffy, managing director for Sub-Saharan African Operations at FedEx.

While traditional roles like drivers, packers and sorters will always be essential, they are increasingly supported by technology-driven processes. This shift creates additional opportunities for young people looking for more technology focused roles.

“Logistics isn’t what it used to be,” said Saffy. “The real competitive advantage now lies in digital capability, especially in areas like data analytics and systems thinking. We’re seeing more engineers and analysts in the business than ever before, guiding operations and enabling automation at scale.”

Beyond data analytics and IT roles, compliance and customs clearance are also emerging as key growth areas for job creation. Saffy highlights the development of a formalised customs qualification as a major step forward for the industry.

“We’re seeing progress in the creation of a national customs clearance certification that will give individuals a recognised qualification, including those with practical experience but no matric pass,” said Saffy. “This will create a clear career path and raise the overall standard of compliance across the industry.”

FedEx is already enrolling its customs clerks into newly developed courses in freight forwarding and customs compliance. In addition to formalising technical knowledge, these programmes also focus on future-ready skills like digital literacy, data analysis and critical thinking.

For young people without access to formal education, FedEx offers a clear entry point through its Yes Learnerships. “Our 12-month programme combines training, mentoring and practical work experience,” said Saffy. “Since 2019, we’ve onboarded more than 150 unemployed youth through YES, with more than 60 going on to become permanent employees. It’s a powerful model for bridging the gap between education and employment.”

In parallel, FedEx runs a dedicated learnership programme for youth living with disabilities, offering an NQF Level 4 certificate in business administration. This includes coaching, blended learning and real-world operational experience – helping to build inclusive, work-ready skills pipelines.

FedEx commitment to building inclusive talent pipelines is a powerful example of how private sector investment in skills development can help unlock opportunities and start turning the tide on youth unemployment.

“Logistics is a gateway to global trade,” said Saffy. “It’s no longer just about moving parcels; it’s about managing complexity in a fast-paced, tech-driven environment. With the right support and training, South Africa’s youth can thrive in this space.”
