About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals.

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on:

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Procter & Gamble boosts its 2030 climate goals, aims for net-zero emissions by 2040

P&G reaffirms its climate goals and net-zero plans for 2030 and beyond

Consumer products giant Procter & Gamble said Friday that it was upping its goals on to tame greenhouse gas emissions, aiming to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions 65% by 2030 compared to a 2010 baseline, an increase from its previous goal of 50%.

In a blog post on the company’s website posted Aug.1 the company reiterated its goal to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions across its supply chain and operations from raw material to retailer by 2040.

“We see sustainability as a strategic way to help future-proof our operations and operate an agile, thriving business,” the company said in the post.

The post addresses 9 top questions about P&G’s PG climate action and how it is working toward net zero goals alongside its partners.

1. What is P&G’s net zero commitment?

P&G’s ambition is to achieve net zero GHG emissions across our supply chain and operations — from raw material to retailer — by 2040. Our climate journey began over a decade ago, focusing initially on our manufacturing facilities. We have since broadened our work; our ambition spans sourcing materials to transporting finished products to stores.

2. What steps is P&G taking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions?

Our strategy focuses on significantly reducing absolute GHG emissions in our operations and supply chain. By 2030, we aim to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 65% compared to a 2010 baseline, an increase from our previous goal of 50%.

3. How does waste reduction fit into P&G’s climate strategy?

Waste reduction is a vital part of our climate strategy. By aiming to design all consumer packaging to be recyclable or reusable by 2030, we aim to minimize waste while reducing the overall environmental impact of our products. We’re also working to reduce our use of virgin petroleum plastic in our consumer packaging by 50% per unit of production versus a 2017 baseline.

4. How is P&G using renewable energy?

We are working toward purchasing 100% renewable electricity by 2030, with more than 99% of our electricity already sourced from renewable sources globally. This transition is essential for reducing our carbon footprint.

5. How does P&G plan to tackle emissions in its supply chain?

We are focused on improving transportation efficiency and collaborating with suppliers to reduce their carbon footprints. Our ambition is to reduce supply chain emissions by 40% per unit of production vs. 2020 baseline. For example, we are investing in projects with key suppliers that have the potential to reduce several million metric tons of CO2 over the next decade through a range of advanced technologies.

6. Does P&G use offsets as part of its climate strategy?

Our top priority is to reduce absolute greenhouse gas emissions. We have accelerated our efforts here and will continue to invest in new solutions to drive reductions further. We acknowledge that nature is a powerful solution today that can reduce CO2 in the atmosphere. That’s why, for emissions we cannot eliminate, we will explore natural or technical solutions to remove an equivalent amount of GHG emissions from the atmosphere.

7. What challenges does P&G face in its climate journey?

We realize there’s a need for new technologies and comprehensive consumer education to help reduce the impacts of climate change. We view these challenges as opportunities for growth and innovation, and we are committed to learning and adapting as we move forward. P&G is committed to helping people reduce their environmental impact at home when they use our products and partnering to scale industry-wide solutions that will benefit everyone.

8. How can consumers contribute to P&G’s climate efforts?

We are committed to improving people’s lives with innovation that delivers superior performance and is more sustainable. Consumers can play an important role by making small changes in their daily routines, such as using cold water for washing clothes to reduce energy consumption.

9. How can we track P&G’s progress toward its climate goals?

P&G is dedicated to transparency and will share updates on our progress toward net zero through our ESG Investor portal and in our Citizenship Report.
