What we're reading now

September 8th is International Literacy Day. 

For the 50th anniversary the UN is focusing on Reading the Past, Writing the Future. Despite the steady rise in literacy rates over the past 50 years, there are still 750 million illiterate adults around the world, most of whom are women. These numbers produced by the UIS are a stark reminder of the work ahead to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially Target 4.6: To ensure that all youth and most adults achieve literacy and numeracy by 2030.

It’s seven days out of the year organized to focus on the globe’s water issues. The 2017 theme of World Water Week is “water and waste: reduce and reuse,” which makes it the perfect time to spotlight our holding Albemarle Corporation. Albemarle has worked steadfastly to provide safer water through water purification while prioritizing the environment.
