BOSTON, Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — On September 28, 2020, Interface, Inc. (NASDAQ: TILE) announced the conclusion of the long-awaited investigation by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission into Interface’s historical quarterly earnings per share calculations and rounding practices. Interface agreed to pay a $5 million fine to resolve the matter, and was ordered to cease-and-desist from violating the federal securities laws. On this news, shares of Interface common stock fell precipitously.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the SEC had charged Interface for reporting earnings that did not comply with the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for multiple quarters in 2015 and 2016. Interface allegedly made unsupported, manual accounting adjustments, often when internal forecasts indicated the Company would fall short of Wall Street estimates, the SEC found. Per the SEC, Interface would then report earnings that met or exceeded those consensus estimates. In addition to the Company’s $5 million fine, two of Interface’s former executives agreed to pay penalties of $45,000 and $70,000.

Block & Leviton LLP (www.blockleviton.com), a national securities litigation firm, is investigating whether Interface and certain of its executives may be liable for securities fraud. If you purchased or acquired shares of Interface and have questions about your legal rights or possess information relevant to these investigations, please contact Block & Leviton attorneys at (617) 398-5600, via email at [email protected], or at https://www.blockleviton.com/cases/tile.

Arlington, Va., Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Maher & Maher was recently awarded a five-year Industry Intermediary contract by the U.S. Department of Labor’s (USDOL) Office of Apprenticeship in order to expand access to apprenticeships in the field of Information Technology (IT).

Maher, a subsidiary of the American Institutes for Research (AIR), will work with its strategic partner CompTIA, the world’s leading technology trade association, to drive new Registered Apprenticeship Programs that will increase the IT talent pool for employers across the country. 

The current social and economic climate has amplified the demand for qualified IT professionals as shifting business strategies call for a move toward virtual work. In addition to addressing this growing demand, Maher and CompTIA will focus on increasing opportunities and pathways to employment for populations traditionally underrepresented in the IT industry, including women and those who are Hispanic and African American. Through targeted outreach to education institutions, businesses, and other organizations, the project will develop a network to introduce a  diverse pool of individuals and employers to the value and opportunity of apprenticeship.

Since 2016, USDOL has invested heavily in expanding apprenticeship to ensure America’s workforce has the skills needed to match today’s most in-demand jobs, and the jobs of the future.  Apprenticeships are a promising pathway for providing jobseekers from diverse backgrounds with the skills and experience needed to secure well-paying jobs that grow the economy. According to USDOL, 94 percent of apprentices who complete an apprenticeship program retain employment, with an average annual salary of $70,000.

Maher’s experience in expanding apprenticeship programs and CompTIA’s expertise in IT education and certification will be leveraged to help grow tech apprenticeships across the country in a variety of industries.  

“Over the last decade, Maher has been deeply involved in expanding apprenticeship programs and we are thrilled to partner with CompTIA to drive the growth and diversity of IT apprenticeships nationwide,” said Beth Brinly, Vice President of Workforce Development at Maher. “We appreciate USDOL’s investment in this partnership and are proud to take part in one of the most exciting talent development movements taking place right now in the United States.”

Toronto, Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Greenbelt Foundation is recognizing some of the important individuals who have championed the Greenbelt and helped build its legacy over the past 15 years, since it was first protected by legislation.

For this year’s annual Friend of the Greenbelt Award, the Greenbelt Foundation is giving out awards in five categories: Community Engagement, Farming and Agriculture, Municipal Leadership, and the Restoration and Enhancement of both the Oak Ridges Moraine and Niagara Escarpment. The Friend of the Greenbelt Award recognizes leaders from across the Greater Golden Horseshoe region who champion, innovate, and ensure the ongoing success of Ontario’s Greenbelt.

“Looking back on our fifteen years, I’m very pleased to acknowledge some of the many community partners, government officials, and other leaders who have helped us make the Greenbelt the vibrant, protected landscape that it is today,” says Edward McDonnell, CEO of the Greenbelt Foundation. “Our award recipients in each category have demonstrated incredible leadership, innovation, and dedication to building, enhancing, and stewarding the Greenbelt in a variety of important ways.”  

Carolyn King, former Chief of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, is the recipient of the Community Engagement award for her ongoing work building relationships between First Nations and Ontario communities, especially with her Moccasin Identifier Project, which uses installations across the landscape, as well as a school curriculum toolkit, to help Ontarians understand the historic and current presence of Indigenous communities in the Greenbelt. 

The late John Russell Powell has been awarded the Restoration and Enhancement of the Oak Ridges Moraine award after a lifetime of dedication to conservation in Ontario, especially his work protecting and stewarding the Oak Ridges Moraine—an area of the Greenbelt with unique geological and ecological significance.

Philip Gosling, an avid naturalist, founder of the Gosling Foundation, and a recipient of the Order of Canada, has been awarded the Restoration and Enhancement of the Niagara Escarpment award, having been one of the founders of the Escarpment’s Bruce Trail Conservancy and a champion of ecological research in Ontario. The Niagara Escarpment is another geologically and ecologically significant part of the Greenbelt.

The Farming and Agriculture award was given to the Ontario Federation of Agriculture (OFA) in recognition for their ongoing contribution to protecting and innovating farmland across Ontario, including in the Greenbelt—one of Canada’s most important food-producing regions. They represent farmers and producers and help ensure the success of the Greenbelt’s agri-food sector.   

Founding Municipal Leaders for the Greenbelt—Glen De Baeremaeker, Erin Shapero, Allan Elgar, and Steve Parish—have collectively been awarded the Municipal Leadership award. Each recipient in this category provided important early leadership that resulted in the creation of the Greenbelt and continued for many years to engage other municipal leaders in the work to protect and enhance the Greenbelt within their communities.

“Since 2005, the Greenbelt has fostered complete, vibrant communities, a strong agricultural sector, and provided much needed greenspace in Canada’s otherwise most developed region,” says David McKeown, Chair of the Greenbelt Foundation’s Board of Directors. “The Friend of the Greenbelt Award is an opportunity to acknowledge the collaboration, past and present, that has made the Greenbelt such an important part of Ontario today.”

Past recipients of the Friend of the Greenbelt Award have included Canadian singer-songwriter, Sarah Harmer (2006), former Premiers of Ontario, Bill Davis (2007) and Dalton McGuinty (2015), the Grape Growers of Ontario (2012), Executive Director of Save the Oak Ridges Moraine, Debbe Crandall (2014), and former Mayor of Toronto, David Crombie (2017). Each year, the Friend of the Greenbelt Award ceremony brings together a diverse community of policymakers, community leaders, executives, and activists to celebrate the work done to make the Greenbelt a vibrant, working landscape that benefits Ontario communities. This year, the ceremony has been replaced with a series of videos released online, which announce and celebrate the award recipients.

CORNING, NY, Nov. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Corning Incorporated (NYSE: GLW) announced on Thursday that eight more of its global manufacturing facilities have recently reduced energy intensity by an average of 13.2%, meeting or exceeding the goals set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR^® Challenge for Industry. To meet the challenge, industrial sites must each increase energy efficiency by at least 10% in five years or less.

“Thousands of industrial plants are improving their efficiency, cutting energy costs, and reducing energy-related carbon emissions by taking the ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry,” said Jean Lupinacci, director of the EPA’s Climate Protection Partnerships division. “By challenging their plants, companies like Corning and others demonstrate their commitment to strong energy management. Through their achievements, these companies have collectively saved more than 84 trillion British thermal units – an impressive accomplishment.”

Following are the newest Corning sites to meet the EPA’s ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry criteria:

• Environmental Technologies facilities in Painted Post, New York, and Shanghai, China
• Life Sciences facilities in Borre, France; Kennebunk, Maine; and Wujiang, China
• Optical Communications facilities in Pune, India, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
• Specialty Materials facility in Canton, New York

“Corning is committed to sustainability – we believe protecting the environment makes good business sense and is the right thing to do,” said Patrick Jackson, director, Global Energy Management (GEM). “Our GEM teams around the world are continually proving our dedication to finding new and innovative ways to create energy savings across Corning. Each site should be proud of its energy management initiatives and ENERGY STAR Challenge for Industry recognition. We value our partnership with ENERGY STAR and will strive to receive this prestigious designation at all Corning sites.”

Corning began its GEM program at a time when prioritizing energy management was a relatively new concept for many large businesses. Since launching GEM in 2006 with technical and financial assistance from the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, Corning has:

• Earned recognition as an ENERGY STAR^® Partner of the Year for the past seven years (2014-2020)
• Improved its energy productivity by 35%
• Delivered more than a half a billion dollars in energy savings
• Decreased its greenhouse gas emissions by more than 2.3 million metric tons, equivalent to one year of carbon dioxide emissions of nearly 250,000 U.S. homes

To meet its energy-saving goals, GEM researches and implements projects and programs at each of Corning’s manufacturing plants. This multifaceted strategy includes manufacturing process innovation, facility design, maximized energy efficiencies in plants and throughout the supply chain, and promotion of the importance of saving energy.
