About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: 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.

Vital Farms Publishes 2025 Impact Report, Underscoring Commitments to Long-Term, Positive Impact for all its Stakeholders

AUSTIN, Texas, April 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vital Farms (Nasdaq: VITL), a Certified B Corporation that offers a range of ethically produced foods nationwide, today published its 2025 Impact Report, which highlights the ongoing progress the company has made driving positive outcomes across its stakeholder community to fuel each stakeholder’s – and the company’s – continued success.

Vital Farms’ Impact strategy is centered around three key areas of focus within its organization, among its stakeholders, and in the communities where it operates: Building a resilient food system, fostering a people-first culture, and driving engaged and accountable oversight.

“Every decision we make as a company begins with our purpose, which is to improve the lives of people, animals and the planet through food, and that extends to our focus on creating long-term, positive impact for each of our stakeholders,” said Joanne Bal, General Counsel, Head of Impact, and Corporate Secretary of Vital Farms. “As a Certified B Corp, a Public Benefit Corporation, and our aspiration to become America’s most trusted food company, we are committed to continuing to raise the standards in the food industry and continuing to build a more engaging workplace for our crew.”

The 2025 Impact Report shares tangible progress Vital Farms has made against its Impact Goals, as well as other company accomplishments over the past year. This year’s highlights include:

Building a Resilient Food System:

  • Reduced operational emissions intensity by 17.7% at Egg Central Station (ECS), Vital Farms’ state-of-the-art egg-washing and packing facility in Springfield, Missouri since 2023.
  • Engaged nearly 50% of its farmer network in additional regenerative agriculture practices beyond existing principles like pasture rotation that all Vital Farms farmers already implement, with a goal to engage 100% of farmers on regenerative agriculture practices by the end of 2026.
  • Achieved LEED® Gold Certification at ECS, a symbol of excellence in environmental stewardship.

Fostering a People-First Culture:

  • Achieved Great Place to Work (GPTW) Certification by surpassing the 80% threshold required for certification in GPTW’s accreditation survey. The Great Place to Work Certification is a globally recognized credential that signifies excellence in workplace culture.
  • Achieved Elite Excellent 99% rating from an annual Safe Quality Food (SQF) audit, demonstrating rigorous standards, dedication to continuous improvements, and the food safety and quality culture embodied by Vital Farms crew.
  • Provided more than $600,000 in philanthropy toward strengthening the communities where Vital Farms operates – from its hometown of Austin to the Springfield area, where more than half of their crew members live and work, to their farmers’ communities.

Driving Engaged & Accountable Oversight:

  • Launched first company-wide Ethics Week, which included a panel discussion with Vital Farms board members, the launch of a revamped Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and virtual ethics and compliance training for crew.
  • Set a goal for 95% of crew members to complete ethics and compliance training by the end of 2025 to continue driving accountability for fostering company-wide ethical culture.
  • Successfully recertified as a B Corp for the fourth time, administered by B Lab, an independent nonprofit that recognizes companies for meeting high standards of social environmental performance, accountability, and transparency.
