ESPOO, Finland, Feb. 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Valmet has been recognized for its actions and strategy to mitigate climate change by receiving the best A score and maintaining its leadership position in the CDP Climate disclosure. CDP’s evaluation is based on the company’s disclosure about its climate-related strategy, targets, governance, risks and opportunities, risk management, and actions in the last reporting year.

Inclusion in the CDP Climate A List for the second year in a row is a recognition of Valmet’s systematic efforts to reduce its climate impacts across the value chain.

“We believe that technology and collaboration across the value chain play a key role in mitigating climate change. Together with our suppliers and customers, we will continue to drive the transition of our customers’ industries toward a low-carbon, circular future,” says Reetta Loponen, VP, Sustainability, Valmet.

In own operations, Valmet has made significant energy efficiency investments to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in its locations and, for example, has purchased carbon-free electricity in Finland and Sweden since 2023. In the supply chain, Valmet has succeeded in engaging more than 270 key suppliers with the most CO2-intensive operations in its Climate Program to reduce their own climate impacts.

The company has also achieved a 10 percent reduction in energy use in pulp, paper, board, and tissue technologies since 2019, enabling significant CO2 reductions over the lifetime of these solutions. Valmet’s solutions enable energy- and resource-efficient pulp, paper, and energy production with fossil-free energy sources and the use of renewable and recycled raw materials for customers.

In 2024, Valmet’s sustainability work was also recognized with a Gold medal in the EcoVadis sustainability assessment and the Supply Chain ESG Pioneer Award at the European Chamber Sustainable Business Awards in China.

In HelloNation, Personal Injury Attorney Brad Altman of Wichita Falls Explains Why Timing Matters and What Attorneys Can Do

Published

on

By

WICHITA FALLS, Texas, April 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Why is timing critical after an injury? An article in HelloNation highlights how quickly evidence can fade, weaken a claim, and impact the outcome of a case. Brad Altman, owner of Altman Legal Group, underscores that immediate action is essential because skid marks fade, property gets repaired, and security footage may be erased, while witnesses’ memories become less reliable over time.

The article explains that insurance companies often move quickly to gather evidence and protect their interests. Without early steps on the injured party’s side, important details may be lost. Attorneys step in to preserve evidence by securing accident reports, medical records, photographs, video footage, and witness statements while they remain accessible. This early action builds a stronger case from the beginning.

Altman also points out that an attorney’s role extends far beyond filing paperwork. They analyze facts, identify gaps, and create a clear timeline that supports the client’s account. They also manage communication with insurance adjusters, ensuring that no statements are misinterpreted or used to reduce compensation. Acting early allows attorneys to control the narrative and prevent evidence from slipping away.

The difference between a strong and weak claim often comes down to timing. By involving an attorney early, injured individuals gain the benefit of preserved evidence and strategic preparation that supports their rights.

Why Timing Matters & What Attorneys Can Do features insights from Brad Altman, Personal Injury Attorney of Wichita Falls, Texas, in HelloNation.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, April 27, 2026 /CNW/ — Nakheel, a member of Dubai Holding Real Estate, has awarded contracts worth over AED 3.5 billion to Ginco General Contracting L.L.C and United Engineering Construction (UNEC) for the construction of 544 villas on Palm Jebel Ali, marking a major milestone in the delivery of one of Dubai‘s most significant waterfront developments.

Under the awarded contracts, Ginco will construct 354 villas across Fronds A to D, while UNEC will deliver 190 villas across Fronds E and F. Construction is scheduled to commence this quarter, with completion targeted for Q4 2028.

Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate, said: “The awarding of these contracts signals tangible progress in the delivery of Palm Jebel Ali, with construction now progressing across multiple fronds. As momentum continues to build, Palm Jebel Ali represents one of the most significant expansions of Dubai‘s urban coastline in a generation and will play a key role in supporting the emirate’s long-term growth, further strengthening its global appeal as a great place to live, invest and visit.”

Spanning seven islands across 13.4 kilometres, with 16 fronds and more than 90 kilometres of beachfront, Palm Jebel Ali is being developed as a world-class waterfront destination and a major contributor to Dubai‘s future urban expansion.

The latest contract awards represent continued progress against the Palm Jebel Ali masterplan and support the objectives of the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan and Dubai Economic Agenda D33, reinforcing the emirate’s long-term vision for sustainable, high-quality communities.

The awards follow the unveiling of Palm Jebel Ali’s Beach and Coral Collection villas, developed in collaboration with leading international architects. The destination will also include Palm Central Private Residences, offering a connected expression of island living that brings together architecture, community and resort-style comfort.

Further enhancing the island’s community infrastructure, Palm Jebel Ali will feature a 9,000 sqm retail centre and a Friday Mosque designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Designed to accommodate up to 1,000 worshippers, the mosque will serve residents and visitors across the destination.
