As part of the collaboration, WeCook benefits from Nuvei’s flexible recurring payment service that boosts customer retention and increases conversion with smart routing and cascading tools, auto account updating, and multiple, concurrent subscriptions. 

“WeCook has quickly established itself as a leader in ready-to-eat meal delivery in Canada,” said Nuvei Chair and CEO Philip Fayer. “As a fast-growing business with a Canadian heritage ourselves working with brands around the world, we are proud to support another fast-growing technology company as it expands its footprint into new markets.”

SEATTLE, July 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Trupanion, the leader in medical insurance for pets, today announced that its direct payment solution is now available to thousands of additional hospitals through a strategic partnership with ezyVet, a cloud-based practice management software used by veterinary hospitals globally.

The partnership makes direct payment from Trupanion immediately available to veterinary hospitals across North America using ezyVet’s practice management software. Trupanion is the only provider that can pay the veterinary invoice at the time of check-out, often in seconds, eliminating the cumbersome reimbursement model.

“Lost time due to cumbersome and manual administrative tasks is our kryptonite,” says ezyVet Chief Growth Officer Pete Brown. “Partnering with Trupanion gives us the opportunity to automate insurance claims for pet parents and guarantee cash collection for the clinic. This reduction in stress will promote revolutionary care. Our native integration will be game-changing and doesn’t require the user to leave the ezyVet environment. We predict a huge uptake.”

BOISE, Idaho, July 06, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), today released “Investing in the Future: Micron’s 2022 Sustainability Report,” underscoring the company’s continued commitment to innovation, the environment, and our people and communities.

Micron exceeded all targets associated with its credit facilities announced last year. These metrics included securing a 40% improvement in greenhouse gas intensity compared to 2018; ensuring 90% of the company’s waste is recycled, reused or recovered; and achieving a Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) average facility audit score of 193.2 out of a possible 200.

Micron also made meaningful progress in its diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) commitments. The company achieved comprehensive global pay equity for all underrepresented groups, surpassed its goal to invest 3% of its cash investments with diverse financial institutions and grew its annual spend with diverse suppliers to $212 million.

“In 2021, we made substantial progress against our sustainability goals, exceeding our targets in greenhouse gas emissions intensity reduction and water recycling. We further advanced our environmental strategy in May 2022 with the announcement of new climate goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” said Micron President and Chief Executive Officer Sanjay Mehrotra. “Sustainability and inclusion are vital to a future that enriches life for all our communities, and Micron will continue to build on the progress we have made in areas like achieving comprehensive pay equity and investing in innovative startups that will transform sustainability practices in our industry.”

Long-term Investments in Community and Sustainability

Micron continued to prioritize giving back to its communities and providing a brighter future for all. In calendar year 2021, the Micron Gives program distributed $13 million to charitable organizations, including $4.25 million in education grants to help underrepresented and underserved students find pathways to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers.

Micron is also investing in future sustainable technologies that will benefit the global semiconductor industry. Through a partnership with SEMI, the industry association representing the electronics manufacturing and design supply chain, Micron Ventures held a “Startups for Semiconductor Sustainability” pitch event focused on startups developing groundbreaking technologies in energy efficiency, water efficiency or water processing and recycling. The initiative provided startups with the opportunity to compete for nine top spots to engage with industry experts and potential investors who can help them further develop these important technologies, contributing to a more sustainable world.

Growing Commitment and Recognition

The release of Micron’s 2022 sustainability report follows Micron’s new climate goals announced in May, to achieve net zero GHG emissions in its global operations and purchased energy by 2050, reduce 2030 GHG emissions from operations (“scope 1”) by 42% against its 2020 baseline and continue to advance its renewable energy targets. Micron has been recognized on the North America Dow Jones Sustainability Index, included on Barron’s list of the 100 Most Sustainable Companies and listed as a 2021–2022 Certified Great Place to Work. The company was also named on Newsweek’s list of America’s Most Responsible Companies in 2021.
