Ethisphere continues its recognition of TE for its commitment to ethics, compliance and governance programs

GALWAY, Ireland, March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — TE Connectivity, a world leader in connectors and sensors, has earned the 2025 World’s Most Ethical Companies recognition from Ethisphere, a global leader in defining and advancing the standards of ethical business practices.

TE, a recipient of this honor for 11 years in a row, is one of only four honorees in the electronics and components industry. In 2025, 136 organizations were included in the list, spanning 19 countries and 44 industries.

“TE Connectivity is committed to developing innovative technology that creates a safer, more sustainable, productive and connected future, all while upholding the highest ethical standards,” said CEO Terrence Curtin. “I am very pleased with how our teams worldwide embody our core values and principles. This ongoing recognition from Ethisphere not only honors our dedication but also serves as a powerful reminder to always lead with integrity in everything we do.”

TE strengthened its anti-bribery and anti-corruption policies in 2024 and introduced a global strategy to promote ethical behavior. The company also conducted its fourth Ethics Attitude Survey, showing improved results in areas like compliance awareness and ethical commitment, demonstrating TE’s ongoing commitment to integrity.

“Congratulations to TE Connectivity for achieving recognition as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies. Behind this honor is a true dedication and a commitment to advancing business integrity. This approach is good for business – employees and other stakeholders value companies that prioritize the kinds of practices we measure with our process,” said Erica Salmon Byrne, Ethisphere’s chief strategy officer and executive chair.

The World’s Most Ethical Companies assessment is grounded in Ethisphere’s proprietary Ethics Quotient, which requires companies to provide 240+ different proof points on practices that support robust ethics and compliance; governance; a culture of ethics; environmental and social impact; and initiatives that support a strong value chain. That data undergoes further qualitative analysis by a panel of experts who spend thousands of hours vetting and evaluating each year’s group of applicants. This process serves as an operating framework to capture and codify best-in-class ethics and compliance practices from organizations across industries and from around the world.

630 Homes Expected to be Powered by this Community Solar Project

TORONTO
, March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ – SolarBank Corporation (NASDAQ: SUUN) (Cboe CA: SUNN) (FSE: GY2) (“SolarBank” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce an update on the development of a 5.4 MW DC ground-mount solar power project known as the Boyle Rd project (the “Project”) on a site located in upstate New York. The Project has achieved a development milestone in receiving positive interconnection results via a completed Coordinated Electric System Interconnection Review (CESIR). Now that the Company has received a positive interconnection determination, it will proceed with permitting the Project site. The Project is expected to be eligible for incentives under the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (“NYSERDA”) NY-Sun Program.

Following receipt of the necessary permits and financing, the Company intends to commence the construction of the Project. Once completed, the Project will be operated as a community solar project. Community solar is a group of solar panels with access to the local electricity grid. Once the panels are turned on and generating electricity, clean energy from the site feeds into the local power grid. Depending on the size and number of panels the project has, dozens or even hundreds of renters and homeowners can save money from the electricity that is generated by the project. By subscribing to a project, a homeowner earns credits on their electric bill every month from their portion of the solar that’s generated by the project, accessing the benefits of solar without installing panels on their home.

Solar Simplified handles all customer-facing activities for the Company’s community solar projects, allowing it to focus on developing and expanding its renewable energy portfolio. Solar Simplified’s expertise in acquisition, enrollment, and management ensures full project subscription and maximized revenue from day one. With a business model that aligns seamlessly with the Company’s, this partnership drives sustainable growth, enabling the Company to accelerate development, bring more projects online each year, and create greater value for its business and the communities served by the Company.

There are several risks associated with the development of the Project. The development of any project is subject to receipt of a community solar contract, required permits, the continued availability of third-party financing arrangements for the Company and the risks associated with the construction of a solar power project. In addition, governments may revise, reduce or eliminate incentives and policy support schemes for solar power, which could result in future projects no longer being economic. Please refer to “Forward-Looking Statements” for additional discussion of the assumptions and risk factors associated with the Project and statements made in this press release.
