Mental Health Treatment

Bristol Myers Squibb (BMY) develops mental health treatments for autism, schizophrenia, depression, and bipolar disorder. 

→ Developed Abilify® (aripiprazole), treats schizophrenia; bipolar I disorder (manic/mixed episodes, maintenance); irritability/agitation in autism. EMSAM (selegiline transdermal system patch), treats Major depressive disorder (MDD) through both acute and maintenance therapy. 

→ Recently released COBENFY™ (xanomeline + trospium chloride), approved for treating schizophrenia by targeting muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (M₁ and M₄), rather than blocking dopamine D₂ receptors like traditional antipsychotics. 

Animal Care 

Merck & Co. (MRK) develops veterinary vaccines and medicines for dogs, cats, sheep, chickens, cows, pigs and horses. 

→ Developed BRAVECTO® (fleas & ticks treatment in dogs/cats), SENTINEL® (intestinal parasites + heartworm prevention in dogs), VETSULIN® insulin for diabetes in dogs/cats, PANACUR®, SAFE-GUARD® (dewormers) for livestock & small animals, ZUPREVO® (antibiotic) for respiratory disease in cows/cattle. 

→ In May 2025, received U.S. FDA approval for treatment of ear infections in dogs associated with certain bacteria (including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus pseudintermedius, Malassezia pachydermatis).

Global Food Security

Corteva (CTVA)  runs agricultural empowerment programs across developing countries, improving access to quality seeds and technology for small farmers. 

→ In Ethiopia, the CTVA hybrid maize seed program is increasing yields and post-harvest management.

→ In Zambia, CTVA supports 10,000 farmers with training and sustainable methods.

→ In Tanzania, the Feed the Future program provides inputs, agronomy training, and market access for 400,000 farmers.

→ In Kenya, dairy-forage and nutrition initiatives are under the Nourishing Prosperity Alliance.

→ In Ghana, CTVA promotes climate-smart hybrid seeds and credit access for 20,000 small farmers. In India, demonstration plots and local seed production projects support small farmers. 

→ In Indonesia, collaboration with PRISMA to raise corn yields for 75,000 farmers in East Java. 

→ In Myanmar, CTVA uses agro-dealer networks and demo plots to deliver agronomic training. 

→ In Mexico, CTVA works with 3,000 farmers in improved practices and tech adoption.

Humane Mining

Rockwell Automation (ROK)  is working to take the blood out of the EV battery industry. 

→ ROK is creating ethical mining solutions that reduce reliance on child labor and dangerous extraction methods in the cobalt supply chain. 

→ Cobalt is the most important element used to make lithium-ion batteries, which power everything from electric vehicles, smartphones, tablets, and laptops, digital and video cameras, Bluetooth accessories, power banks, drones, e-cigarettes, and robot vacuums. 

Renewable Energy 

Next Era Energy (NEE)   helps reduce emissions and implement a transition to clean energy. 

→ Operates over 160 wind farms and runs solar power plants, both utility-scale

across the U.S. & Canada. 

→ Recently partnered with Entergy to develop up to 4.5 gigawatts of new solar plus energy storage in several U.S. states and teamed up with industrial users, like the Phillips 66 project in California, where NextEra built a solar facility to reduce reliance on grid power at a refinery. 

Clean Water

  Xylem (XYL)  develops advanced technologies to provide clean, safe water and improve water security worldwide

→ Designs and operates systems for water desalination, purification, wastewater treatment, and reuse for cities, industries, and agriculture.
→ Key solutions include seawater and brackish-water desalination, advanced filtration, UV and ozone disinfection, and smart pumping systems that reduce energy and water loss.
→ Through digital platforms and sensors, Xylem helps utilities detect leaks, monitor water quality in real time, and ensure resilient access to clean drinking water in water-stressed regions.
