Richardson, Texas, USA — The wind energy market demands constant innovation from its supply chain, as Crosby Airpes’s craneless wind turbine rotor blade exchange system proves. As wind farm operators meet unprecedented demand for new turbines, they must also maintain installed towers, nacelles, and other components. Central to that work is removal and replacement of rotor blades, which can measure 80m (approx. 260 ft.) in length and weigh more than 24t. With wind farms naturally being installed in remote, windy locations, this is a complicated, expensive process that involves large cranes and heavy rigging—until now. Following last year’s acquisition by The Crosby Group, a global leader in lifting, rigging, and load securement hardware, Airpes has widened delivery of innovative lifting, handling, and weighing solutions for the wind energy and industrial markets. The craneless wind turbine rotor blade exchange system is a good example. Josep Compte, managing director and co-founder...

New York, A new report  by The Conference Board reveals that, as boards seek to recruit more directors with functional expertise, the percentage of board members in the Russell 3000 with business strategy experience has declined by five percentage points, from 67.7 percent to 62.9 percent. Accompanying that worrisome decline is a drop in directors with international experience, despite a more interconnected and tumultuous world. At the same time, The Conference Board report, featuring data from analytics firm ESGAUGE, also reveals significant increases in the disclosure of diversity on boards. The percentage of S&P 500 companies disclosing directors’ sexual orientation has more than tripled, from under seven percent in 2021 to nearly 23 percent as of April 2022, and in the Russell 3000 it increased seven-fold, from 3.5 percent to 25.4 percent. While 58.8 percent of the S&P 500 disclosed the racial/ethnic diversity of their boards in 2021, 73.3 percent have done so thus f...
