WELLESLEY, Mass.
, Jan. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Sun Life U.S. has received the Equality 100 Award from Human Rights Campaign, given to companies achieving a 100% score on the Corporate Equality Index (CEI), a national benchmarking survey that assesses LGBTQ+ equality in the workplace. Sun Life continuously engages employees in fostering an inclusive, supportive workplace that encourages every employee to bring their authentic selves to work. This is Sun Life’s 16^th consecutive 100% score on the CEI.

“Maintaining a perfect score on the Corporate Equality Index year after year shows us that our culture and inclusive practices are working, and have positive impact on our employees,” said Diontha Fancher, director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) for Sun Life U.S. “Our dedication to strengthening our DEI commitments is an ongoing process, informed by valuable insights and engagement from all of our employees, including our Inclusion Networks and community partners.”

Sun Life engages in many events and activities throughout the year on issues that impact the LGBTQ+ community and address equity and inclusion for all. Last year, Sun Life introduced a LGBTQ+ Benefits Guide for its employees, showing how Sun Life benefits support the needs of the LGBTQ+ community. Some benefits include:

• medical, dental and vision plans available to legal spouses, same-sex or different sex domestic partners and legal civil union partners;
• medical plans covering gender affirming care; and
• a paid family and medical leave program covering “chosen family” to allow caregivers time off to care for those who are not direct relatives.

Sun Life has long been a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, joining 13 employer briefs that helped lead to the defeat of DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) in 2013 and state laws prohibiting same-sex marriage in 2015. In 2019 Sun Life joined other employers in signing onto an amicus brief for the Supreme Court cases determining whether LGBTQ+ employees are protected under the current U.S. civil rights law.

Sun Life’s Pride Inclusion Network supports GLAAD, and is a sponsor of Out & Equal, sending network leaders to the advocacy group’s Workplace Summit in 2024, and offering its webinars to Sun Life employees.

In support of transgender inclusion, Sun Life provides resources to employees that enable optional sharing of gender pronouns, including in email signatures, as part of videoconferencing identification, and internal content-sharing platforms.

In 2024 Sun Life U.S. was named a Best Employer for Diversity by Forbes for the second consecutive year, was named a Girls Club Top 25 Female Friendly Company in 2023 and 2024 and received the Great Places to Work certification in 2024.

TD wins in two award categories for TD Invent and TD Immersive Learning

TORONTO
, Jan. 15, 2025 /CNW/ – For the fourth consecutive year, TD Bank Group (TD) has been recognized by the Business Intelligence Group (BIG) through the 2025 BIG Innovation Awards, for providing immersive and inclusive experiences and driving forward-focused enterprise innovation. The annual awards program recognizes the people, organizations and ideas changing how we experience the world.

TD was recognized in both the Organization and Product categories at this year’s 2025 BIG Innovation Awards. TD Invent, the Bank’s enterprise approach to innovation, won in the Organization category and TD Immersive Learning, a virtual reality (VR) training program for branch colleagues, was recognized in the Product category.

TD Invent is a shared mindset driving an innovation culture through which the 95,000+ TD colleagues are empowered to innovate with purpose. It is the shared approach at the core of the Bank’s ability to transform by creating new business models, processes, and offerings in response to rapidly changing customer preferences, emerging technologies and disrupters. This innovation culture mindset allows colleagues to own innovation as part of their day-to-day work with the primary goal of helping to create customer-centric experiences through incremental improvements as well as introducing brand new ideas.

iD8, a colleague ideation program, allows the Bank to crowdsource ideas from colleagues. iD8 recently celebrated its fifth anniversary and reached more than 100,000 ideas submitted by colleagues; of those, 10,000 have been implemented. TD employees have also been named inventors on 1,600 patents filed since 2019.

One of the recent innovations driven by the TD Invent approach is the TD Immersive Learning program which explores the use of virtual reality (VR) training to enhance customer service training for branch colleagues. The program, the first of its kind to be launched across Canada and the U.S., was introduced to elevate TD customer service and employee development, aligning with its strategic vision of human-centered innovation, while creating a safe space for colleagues to learn and build confidence. Using virtual reality headsets, TD colleagues simulated everyday customer interactions in branch settings and learned how to solve them in a meaningful, personalized and empathetic manner. Colleague results from the pilot were strong with 92% of colleagues retaining the information learned, and 80% having felt that VR training was more effective than traditional methods.

“We’re proud to be recognized by the Business Intelligence Group for our work in helping to shape the future of banking at TD,” said Imran Khan, Head of Enterprise Innovation and Design. “Through the TD Invent approach, we continue to embed innovation across the Bank to deliver more personalized, connected experiences to help our customers live their lives. Our goal at TD is always to find the better way, adapting and reinventing ourselves to add value for our customers and to innovate with purpose to help meet the needs of the diverse communities we serve.”

TD is the sixth largest bank in North America by assets and serves over 27.9 million customers in four key businesses operating in a number of locations in financial centres around the globe: Canadian Personal and Commercial Banking, including TD Canada Trust and TD Auto Finance Canada; U.S. Retail, including TD Bank, America’s Most Convenient Bank®, TD Auto Finance U.S., TD Wealth (U.S.), and an investment in The Charles Schwab Corporation; Wealth Management and Insurance, including TD Wealth (Canada), TD Direct Investing, and TD Insurance; and Wholesale Banking, including TD Securities and TD Cowen.

WASHINGTON
, Jan. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — JLL’s Capital Markets group announced today that it arranged over $1.2 billion in construction financing throughout 2024 on behalf of The BlackChamber Group (“BlackChamber“). The financings will facilitate the development of four hyperscale powered shell campuses located across Northern Virginia collectively totalling over 740 megawatts of capacity.   

JLL worked on behalf of BlackChamber to arrange the financings as part of BlackChamber’s Northern Virginia development portfolio, which includes eight campuses with the prospective capacity to yield nearly 1.5 GW of gross power capacity across more than six million square feet.

BlackChamber was advised by JLL’s Capital Markets Debt Advisory team led by Jamie Leachman, Senior Managing Director and Co-Head of the Washington, D.C. office and Drake Greer, Senior Director and member of JLL’s National Data Center Capital Markets team.

“Against a dynamic and challenging market backdrop, JLL leveraged their relationships, creativity and expertise to drive seamless and unrelenting execution with a variety of different lenders, ultimately delivering value-accretive and strategically beneficial financing solutions,” BlackChamber Managing Partner Conley Patton said.

Northern Virginia is the largest data center market in the world, comprising more than 4.6 GWs of power capacity as of 1H 2024. In 2024, Northern Virginia saw more than 1.3 GWs of absorption, ending the year with a vacancy rate of just 0.4%. Currently, in Northern Virginia there is more than 5.8 GWs of planned data center development.    

“We are seeing incredible demand for data centers with the consistent appetite from Cloud, AI and Enterprise tenants and this in turn has created a larger focus from various capital sources,” Leachman said.

“What was once a small alternative segment of the commercial real estate industry is now a large segment of equity and debt deployments. BlackChamber’s recent construction loan closings are evidence of the diverse capital chasing data centers. Our recent closings include capital from bank balance sheets, both commercial real estate and infrastructure verticals, but also private credit vehicles funded with insurance company capital,” Greer added.

JLL’s dedicated Capital Markets group is a full-service global provider of capital solutions for real estate and infrastructure investors and occupiers. The group’s in-depth local market and global investor knowledge delivers the best-in-class solutions for clients — whether investment sales and advisory, debt advisory, equity advisory or a recapitalization.

MACAO
, Jan. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Sands China held an opening ceremony Wednesday at the Macao Science Center waterfront to celebrate world-famous pop art masterPhilip Colbert’s colourful maritime and cultural tourismart exhibition, Coastal Fantasia: The Lobster King’s Vacation in Macao, which features massive installations of his iconic Lobster cartoon persona.

From now until mid-March, local residents and visitors can enjoy the exhibition at five concurrent locations in Macao, crafted by the world-renowned British contemporary pop artist to highlight Macao’s unique coastal beauty. Some of the works were exclusively designed for this special exhibition.

Free to visit, this enriching, accessible art series is brought to Macao by Sands China with the support of the Marine and Water Bureau, Municipal Affairs Bureau, Macao Government Tourism Office, Cultural Affairs Bureau, Public Security Police Force and Macao Science Center.

Sands China hopes that the innovative, city-wide pop art installation will further expand Macao’s maritime tourism offerings, enrich the cultural experience of locals and tourists in Macao, support the development of new tourism products to attract domestic and international visitors, and showcase Macao’s multicultural charm.

Dr. Wilfred Wong, executive vice chairman of Sands China Ltd., said: “Sands China is delighted to partner with globally acclaimed British contemporary pop art master Philip Colbert to bring his iconic Lobster back to the city in this new year with Coastal Fantasia: The Lobster King’s Vacation in Macao. Macao is a port city located on the coast of the South China Sea, naturally endowed with significant geographical advantages. With its unique blend of East meets West culture spanning over four centuries, the peninsula possesses characteristics that are truly one-of-a-kind in the world. By introducing internationally renowned masterpieces to Macao, we aim to boost Macao’s coastal tourism offerings and promote the beauty of the city’s coastline – while further enriching Macao’s distinctive tourism and cultural atmosphere and enhancing its international reputation through this newly launched maritime and cultural art exhibition. Additionally, this exhibition’s installations showcase both the classic and new look of Colbert’s Lobster to highlight the importance of preserving the ocean and ecological environment – some of which are even making their global debut.

“Macao’s exhibition of this globally recognised artist once again highlights the city’s unique integration of Chinese and Western cultures and its cultural charm. This mega-event demonstrates Sands China’s ongoing support for the government’s vision to promote Macao’s diversification, ushering in a new chapter for the city’s cultural and arts industries. We express our heartfelt gratitude to the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Macao SAR and the bureaus and departments of the Macao SAR government for their unwavering support, and to Colbert and his professional team for bringing amazing pop art works to Macao.”

The exhibition’s larger-than-life installations and themed sculptures are concurrently showcased at five different locations in the city, including Macao Science Center waterfront, ‌‧ART Space at Macao Cultural Center, The Venetian Macao outdoor lagoon, and two Sands China’s revitalisation areas: the former Iec Long Firecracker Factory and Taipa Houses.

For the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, he held a public exhibition of his giant Lobster sculptures at Station F.

Colbert said: “I’m so excited to be back to Macao and it’s such an honour to be the biggest artist takeover in the city’s history. I’m so grateful to the bureaus and departments of the Macao SAR government and Sands China for having a great ambition to help bring my artistic works to life on such a big scale. Macao is a city I have been inspired by from the first time I came. I really believe that Lobster would feel right at home in the city, and it is excited that we are going to unveil three permanent sculptures in the city – may Lobster’s dream live on in Macao forever!”

About Philip Colbert

Living and working in London, Scotland-born Colbert is often referred to as the “godson of Andy Warhol.” He has attracted a global following for his cartoon lobster persona and his masterful hyper-pop history paintings. His works powerfully explore the patterns of contemporary digital culture and its relationship to a deeper art historical dialogue. “I became an artist when I became a Lobster,” he famously said.

With his energetic approach to painting and pop theory, his paintings cross high art themes from old master paintings and contemporary art theory with everyday symbols of mass contemporary culture, all narrated through the eyes of Colbert’s cartoon Lobster alter ego. He has been championed as a contemporary pop art master by art world figures such as Charles Saatchi & Simon De Pury.

Colbert famously staged an artistic intervention in 2022 ahead of the opening week of the 59th Venice Biennale with an inflatable lobster sculpture that floated along the Grand Canal. Since 2014, Colbert has held more than 50 solo exhibitions worldwide, having frequently appeared in Asia, including various cities in China, Japan, and Korea. Colbert paid his last visit to Macao for Sands China’s exhibition for Art Macao 2023. For the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, he held a public exhibition featuring his giant sculptures at Station F.
