Green effort
Ardagh announced this week that it is committing to an effort to reduce its carbon emissions.
The glass manufacturing company that operates plants in Dunkirk and Winchester will set specific goals to bring the company in alignment with the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement. The agreement, signed by nearly 200 countries, commits to limiting the global temperature increase to 2 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit).
“Ardagh’s commitment to the SBTi demonstrates our continued dedication to sustainability,” said Ardagh chief sustainability officer John Sadlier in a press release. “Striving to achieve science-based targets is a natural next step for us on our journey to create a more sustainable world for future generations.”
Donated
Family Dollar and Dollar Tree have increased their annual contribution to Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
The organization announced this week that the companies will give $2 million from customer, vendor, employee and company donations.
“Many of our Family Dollar stores share neighborhoods with Club locations and we fully support Boys & Girls Clubs of America as they help our youth of today become leaders of tomorrow,” said Mike Witynski, Dollar president and CEO, in a press release. ”Our communities are at the heart of everything we do at Family Dollar and Dollar Tree and we would like to extend our deepest thanks to customers, vendors, associates and The Coca-Cola Company, whose generous support has provided meals for children and teens, youth programs and out-of-school services to thousands of families across the country.”
Partnering practices
McDonald’s announced plans this week to partner with Cargill, the Walmart Foundation and World Wildlife Fund on a five-year project to support rancher implementation of regenerative gracing practices.
The initiative is focused on 1 million acres of grazing land in the northern Plains states. It will be focused mainly in Nebraska, South Dakota and Montana.
“Ranchers are the most important stewards of the grasslands of the Northern Great Plains,” said Martha Kauffman, managing director of WWF’s Northern Great Plains program, in a press release. “As managers of over 70% of the remaining intact grasslands within this region, they hold the keys to its future.”
Holiday plans
Walmart this week announced its plans for the holiday season.
The company will hire more than 20,000 season workers for its e-commerce fulfillment centers. Seasonal employment will run through Jan. 1.
“The holidays are always a special time, and this year, we think the season will mean even more to our customers,” Walmart executive vice president Greg Smith said in a press release. “As more of them turn to online shopping, we want to ensure we’re staffed and ready to help deliver that special gift to their loved ones while continuing to fulfill our customer’s everyday needs. We’re also proud to be able to continue to provide employment opportunities across the country when it’s needed most.”

Advance Auto Parts announced Tuesday that it has started a cash tender offer for its outstanding 4.5% senior unsecured notes due Dec. 1, 2023.
As of this week, there was $450 million worth of outstanding notes. The offer expires at 5 p.m. Monday.
