Earth Month 2024 is a special one. It not only reminds us of our shared responsibility to help protect the planet but also marks the two-year anniversary of our Sustainable Home Improvement Program (SHIP), which has become one of our most successful and beloved sustainability initiatives.

2024 年地球月是一個特別的月份。它不僅提醒我們有共同的責任幫助保護地球,還標誌着我們的可持續家居裝修計劃(SHIP)成立兩週年,該計劃已成爲我們最成功和最受歡迎的可持續發展計劃之一。

We launched SHIP on Earth Day 2022, to help Gen team members bring sustainability into their daily lives. The award-winning program offers individual grants of up to $500 per year for home projects that benefit the environment, and the response from Gen team members has been extraordinary. To date, more than 1,800 SHIP projects, both big and small, have been funded, from upgrading home appliances to more energy-efficient models to planting trees and backyard gardens.

我們在2022年世界地球日推出了SHIP,以幫助世代團隊成員將可持續發展融入他們的日常生活。這項屢獲殊榮的計劃每年爲有益於環境的家庭項目提供高達500美元的個人補助金,Gen團隊成員的反應非常出色。迄今爲止,已有1,800多個SHIP項目獲得了資助,包括升級家用電器到更節能的模型,再到植樹和後院花園。

"I recently moved into a new house and needed to upgrade it to make it more heat efficient," said Lisa Traynor, who works on the Global Supply Chain Team and is based in Dublin. "Although beautiful and green, Ireland can also be wet and damp! I used the SHIP grant towards attic spray foam insulation which reduced my energy use and my energy costs, making my home much more efficient in terms of heat retention. The SHIP grant was easy to access and easy to use."

在都柏林的全球供應鏈團隊工作的麗莎·特雷諾說:“我最近搬進了一所新房子,需要對其進行升級以提高其熱效率。”“儘管愛爾蘭既美麗又綠色,但也可以潮溼和潮溼!我使用SHIP補助金購買了閣樓噴霧泡沫隔熱材料,這減少了我的能源消耗和能源成本,使我的房屋在保溫方面更加高效。SHIP補助金易於獲得且易於使用。”

Gen team members interested in using the benefit submit an application that describes how they will use the funds. The Gen Environment team reviews each one then reimburses the applicant once they have completed the project.

有興趣使用該福利的世代團隊成員提交一份申請,說明他們將如何使用資金。Gen Environment團隊對每個項目進行審查,然後在申請人完成項目後向他們報銷。

"I chose to plant trees in my backyard," said Alan Zhang, a Senior Network Security Engineer based in Ontario, Canada. "I believe it is a positive and meaningful way to celebrate and make a difference in the world. The trees can improve local air quality, provide habitat for wildlife and reduce erosion. I believe this program is a good approach to build a better world for future generations."

加拿大安大略省的高級網絡安全工程師艾倫·張說:“我選擇在我的後院種樹。”“我相信這是慶祝世界並改變世界的一種積極而有意義的方式。這些樹木可以改善當地的空氣質量,爲野生動物提供棲息地並減少侵蝕。我相信這個計劃是爲子孫後代建設更美好世界的好方法。”

The long-term benefits that the program offers were a major motivator for team members to take part. Katharina Polainer, a Sales & Marketing Specialist who lives in Tettnang, Germany, used SHIP to purchase solar panels and an accompanying battery for her home. Efforts like these also help us lower our overall Scope 3 emissions-GHG emissions from upstream and downstream activities.

該計劃提供的長期福利是團隊成員參與的主要動力。居住在德國泰特南的銷售和營銷專家卡塔琳娜·波萊納使用SHIP爲她的家購買了太陽能電池板和隨附的電池。諸如此類的努力還有助於我們降低來自上游和下游活動的範圍 3 溫室氣體排放總量。

"With PV panels, we can produce environmentally friendly power for our own house and the community in peak seasons," Katharina explained. "I highly appreciate the incentive as PV panel prices and battery prices are still at a pretty high level, so anything that helps us financially is a huge plus."

卡塔琳娜解釋說:“有了光伏電池板,我們可以在旺季爲自己的房屋和社區提供環保電力。”“我非常感謝這種激勵措施,因爲光伏電池板價格和電池價格仍處於相當高的水平,因此,任何對我們有經濟幫助的東西都是巨大的優勢。”

The SHIP initiative is one of many initiatives that helped empower employees to choose sustainability this Earth Month. The TERRA employee resource group, open to all team members who are interested in environmental topics, hosts events year-round to raise awareness of sustainability, biodiversity, green energy and more. Over the past several months, TERRA has hosted webinars on the impacts of climate change on the weather, major takeaways from the United Nations COP28 climate conference and tips on going green during the holiday season. The group has grown to more than 70 members globally.

SHIP計劃是幫助員工在本地球月選擇可持續發展的衆多舉措之一。TERRA員工資源小組向所有對環境主題感興趣的團隊成員開放,全年舉辦活動,以提高人們對可持續發展、生物多樣性、綠色能源等的認識。在過去的幾個月中,TERRA舉辦了關於氣候變化對天氣的影響、聯合國 COP28 氣候會議的主要成果以及假日季綠色環保小貼士的網絡研討會。該組織已發展到全球70多名成員。
