A new energy storage project marks the next frontier of Apple’s efforts to become carbon neutral for its supply chain and products by 2030

Apple has recently announced over 110 of its manufacturing partners around the world are moving to 100 percent renewable energy for their Apple production, with nearly 8 gigawatts of planned clean energy set to come online. Once completed, these commitments will avoid over 15 million metric tons of CO2e annually — the equivalent of taking more than 3.4 million cars off the road each year.

Additionally, the company is investing directly in renewable energy projects to cover a portion of upstream emissions, as well as a major energy storage project in California to pilot new solutions for renewable infrastructure.

Cerillion’s share price is on fire. Should I buy this AIM stock now?

ASNF 2 days ago

One AIM stock that’s had a great run recently is Cerillion (LSE: CER), the billing, charging, and customer relationship management software solutions provider. Since I listed the company as my top micro-cap stock for November, its share price has risen 93%. Meanwhile, over the last 12 months, the stock has jumped 133%.

I looked at Cerillion on a few occasions last year, and was always impressed by the stock. However, I never bought it for my own portfolio. It’s fair to say I’m now kicking myself. Is it too late for me to buy? Let’s take another look at the investment case.

6 Ways Your Marketing Team Can Help Sales

ASNF 2 days ago

Sales teams manage a lot of different factors these days. Some are new, fresh challenges, and some old, but all part of a pretty delicate balancing act they’ve got to keep afloat to make the sale. But they’re not alone in this “battle” — marketing should be fighting right alongside them, with just as much of a stake in each sale.

It’s tough, though, when each team has their own set of concerns and issues. The ultimate goal could be lost in the daily duties, and even more so when they don’t understand the other’s needs.

No one wins in a silo, so that’s why it’s important for marketing to support sales in any way they can.

Here are six things you as a marketer can do to help:
