休斯敦，TX / ACCESSWIRE / 2024年6月10日 / 貝克休斯基金會週一宣佈兩項支持聯合國世界環境日的資助：310,000美元的One Tree Planted資助和30,000美元的兒童環保素養基金會（CELF）資助。這兩個組織與Baker Hughes共同構建一個更加可持續的環境和社會的願景，並讓員工生活和工作在這個環境中。
"It is paramount as a leader in the energy technology space that Baker Hughes helps the industry advance on the path to net-zero emissions and a sustainable energy future, and partnering with organizations like One Tree Planted and CELF can progress the planet towards a more sustainable environment," said Jim Apostolides, Baker Hughes senior vice president of Enterprise Operational Excellence.
“作爲能源科技領域的領導者，貝克休斯幫助行業走向淨零排放和可持續能源未來是至關重要的，與One Tree Planted和CELF這樣的組織合作可以推進行星走向更可持續的環境，”貝克休斯企業業務卓越高級副總裁Jim Apostolides說。
Led by the United Nations Environment Program and held annually in June since 1973, World Environment Day is the largest global platform for environmental public outreach and is celebrated by millions of people across the world. These grants support the global movement to foster climate education, biodiversity and global restoration activities.
自1973年起，由聯合國環境規劃署領導的世界環境日是最大的全球環境宣傳平台，受歡迎的人們在世界各地慶祝。這些撥款支持全球推動氣候教育、生物多樣性和全球恢復活動的運動。
The Foundation's fourth grant to One Tree Planted will support 12 urban forestry projects in cities around the world, specifically in vulnerable areas. One Tree Planted's mission is to reforest the planet, provide education and awareness around the importance of trees in the ecosystem, and inspire engagement and action. One Tree Planted has been a key enabler in the success of Baker Hughes' commitment to environmental sustainability, recently reaching a total of 1 million trees planted across 17 countries as a result of the Foundation's contributions.
基金會第四筆對One Tree Planted的捐助將支持全球城市林業項目，特別在容易受到威脅的地區。One Tree Planted的使命是重新造林，提供有關生態系統中樹木重要性的教育和認識，激發參與和行動。作爲貝克休斯對環境可持續性承諾取得成功的關鍵支持者，One Tree Planted最近在全球17個國家種植了100萬棵樹。
"The Baker Hughes Foundation has been an impactful philanthropic partner in our reforestation and vital landscape restoration projects, funding 23 large-scale global initiatives to completion in three years," said One Tree Planted President and CEO Hank Lynch. "We are grateful for their continued support and look forward to addressing critical issues of tree equity, the heat island effect, and green spaces in under-resourced neighborhoods, through their commitment to our urban forestry program."
“貝克休斯基金會一直是我們在造林和重要景觀恢復項目中有着重大影響的慈善合夥人，三年來資助了23個大型全球項目的完成，”One Tree Planted總裁兼首席執行官Hank Lynch說。“我們感謝他們的持續支持，並期待通過他們對我們的城市林業計劃的承諾來解決樹平等、熱島效應和未受到充分資源支持的社區中的綠色空間等關鍵問題。”
CELF was founded with the mission to establish sustainability as an integral part of every child's K- 12 learning experience. The grant to CELF will support a Houston-based program partnership that engages with over 2,000 students across Title 1 schools serving Houston's environmental justice communities through professional learning and student engagement programs. Through the multiple programs implemented, teachers and administrators will build skills for embedding environmental literacy concepts across subjects and engage with students in place-based inquiry projects, providing them with transferable workforce skills.
CELF的使命是將可持續性作爲每個孩子K-12學習經驗中不可或缺的一部分。對CELF的捐贈將支持休斯敦的一個項目合作，通過專業學習和學生參與項目，與服務休斯敦環境正義社區的1個學校以及超過2000名學生進行接觸。通過多個實施的計劃，教師和管理人員將構建將環境識字概念融入各科的技能，並參與基於地點的探究項目，爲他們提供可轉移的職業技能。
"Our CELF team is grateful for this renewed support from the Baker Hughes Foundation, which will enable us to further develop the energy pathway of our Civic Science: Inquiry to Action program. This support will allow us to connect more students and teachers in Greater Houston with their local green spaces, and with meaningful opportunities to investigate their energy consumption in order to identify actions they can take to improve efficiency and sustainability in their school communities," said Tara Stafford Ocansey, CELF executive director.
“我們的CELF團隊非常感謝貝克休斯基金會的重新支持，這將使我們能夠進一步發展我們的公民科學：探究行動計劃的能源路徑。這種支持讓我們能夠在大休斯敦地區將更多的學生和教師與他們當地的綠色空間聯繫起來，併爲他們提供有意義的機會，以調查他們的能源消耗，以識別他們可以採取的行動，改善學校社區的效率和可持續性，”CELF執行董事Tara Stafford Ocansey說。
The grants align with the Baker Hughes Foundation's mission of supporting the communities where we conduct business and promoting environmental outcomes such as nature-based climate solutions and the advancement of education. The One Tree Planted donation also supports Baker Hughes' commitment to advancing the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - SDG 15 to protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss. The CELF donation supports SDG 4 to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all and SDG 12 to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
這些撥款與貝克休斯基金會支持我們開展業務的社區和促進環境成果（例如基於自然的氣候解決方案和推動教育的進步）的使命相一致。One Tree Planted的捐助還支持貝克休斯推進聯合國可持續發展目標（SDGs）-SDG 15，以保護、恢復和促進可持續利用陸地生態系統、可持續管理森林、對抗沙漠化、制止和逆轉土地退化和停止生物多樣性的損失。CELF的捐贈支持SDG 4，以確保所有人都享有包容和公平的優質教育機會，促進終身學習機會，以及SDG 12，以確保可持續的消費和生產模式。
