    Fujifilm and Beekley Medical® Host 2nd Annual Breast Imaging Education Summit

    Lexington, MA and Bristol, CT– October 15, 2025 Leading into Breast Cancer Awareness Month, FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation, a leading provider of medical imaging and informatics solutions, and Beekley Medical®, a leading supplier of niche medical products, hosted its second annual Breast Imaging Education Summit at Fujifilm’s Valhalla, NY headquarters on September 20- 21. The complimentary event was well attended and convened radiologic technologists specializing in breast imaging and industry leaders within the field, with attendees earning 13 CE (Continuing Education) credits.

    More than 40 technologists attended the educational forum designed with an emphasis on learning, collaboration, and professional growth. The goal was to engage technologists on the frontlines of women’s healthcare about the latest advances in imaging technologies and screening best practices through interactive conversations and hands-on training with the latest imaging systems and clinical images.

    The program included more than 10 presentations from experts in the women’s health space including several radiologists from renowned institutions like MD Anderson Cancer Center and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Topics ran the gamut from new technologies in breast imaging to breast density communication and reporting, from contrast-enhanced mammography to understanding the patient’s journey after breast cancer diagnosis, and more.

    In addition, Mammography Educators provided attendees with an instructional live, hands-on breast positioning workshop with Fujifilm’s ASPIRE Cristalle 3D mammography system and Beekley Medical’s Bella Blankets® Protective Coverlets.

    “Beekley Medical and FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation share the same mission – to improve women’s health by expanding access to breast health education and mammography services for every woman who needs it,” said Henry Izawa, president and chief executive officer, FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation. “Technologists perform approximately 40 million mammograms in the U.S. every year— they are literally at the forefront of saving lives. And because they are on the frontlines, techs are also in a unique position to educate women about the importance of annual screenings and early diagnosis. This event was created to help techs expand their professional knowledge while also paying tribute to the critical work they do every day.”

    “Beekley Medical is honored to partner with FUJIFILM Healthcare Americas Corporation for the annual Breast Imaging Education Summit,” said Maureen O. Gallo, President of Beekley Corporation. “Not only do our companies share a legacy of 91 years in business, but we also share a deep commitment to excellence. That commitment is reflected in the caliber of radiologists who participate in this prestigious event, generously sharing their expertise with attendees. This program empowers technologists with the latest knowledge and hands-on experience in breast imaging. Through this collaboration, we’re helping to elevate the standard of care for women everywhere.”

    For technologists who could not attend the event, a recorded webinar of key topics addressed during the second annual Breast Imaging Education Summit will be available on Nov. 8th at 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. to celebrate National Radiologic Technology Week. Participating technologists will earn 6.0 CEU credits. To register, click here.

  • ICC and UNFCCC Business Group call on climate ministers ahead of COP30  – ICC

    “Excellencies, Colleagues,

    I am pleased to provide some reflections on behalf of the global business community at this critical juncture ahead of COP30 in Belem.

    Ten years on, the Paris Agreement stands as a landmark of diplomacy and multilateral collaboration—that remains the cornerstone of our collective efforts.

    For business, the Agreement is not only a climate accord—it is an economic and cooperation agreement. It is our best framework to work together to tackle environmental challenges and unlock new opportunities.

    It is about innovation, competitiveness, jobs, and prosperity—for everyone and everywhere.

    Since Paris, private investments and innovation are accelerating and in many cases surpassing the ambition in national climate plans.

    But much more is possible and much more is needed.

    What is still missing is the right enabling environment and incentives—that only governments can provide—to reach the ambition and scale of action needed.

    That’s why COP30 is so crucial—to unlock the full power of government and business action.

    We see four priority areas in this regard:

    First, a firm recommitment from government leaders to deliver and implement bold national climate plans, that achieve deep emissions cuts in line with 1.5°C, across all sectors and that are guided by the first global stocktake (GST).

    For business, these are not just simple plans—they will determine where and whether we invest.

    And they will only succeed if they are co-designed with business. We therefore call on governments to think creatively about new ways for genuine public-private collaboration in country to turn NDC ambition into investment.

    Second, on climate finance: expectations on the private sector keep rising, yet too little attention is paid to the barriers holding capital back.

    The Baku-to-Belém Finance Roadmap must move beyond aspirations to deliver a clear plan to scale private investments in emerging and developing markets.

    That starts, in our view, with rethinking macroprudential rules that currently discourage banks from financing even high-quality climate projects in emerging markets and developing economies. With targeted clarifications to the Basel III framework, we can unlock capital at scale—without compromising financial stability.

    Third, adaptation must shift to the centre of our efforts. The private sector has much to contribute but its action remains far below potential. A serious discussion at COP30 on how we can unlock meaningful business action and capital for adaptation is urgently needed if we are serious about delivering on any adaptation and financing goals.

    Finally, we cannot overlook the ability of high-integrity carbon markets to mobilise capital and innovation for adaptation and mitigation. On Article 6, we must strengthen both governance and confidence—creating also the conditions for business to engage. Getting the balance right in outstanding guidance—between highest integrity and opportunity—is vital to ensure investment is not crowded out before it starts.

    Excellencies, colleagues,

    Let this COP30 be a COP of implementation, of action but in particular of cooperation, setting the conditions for real public-private collaboration and real climate solutions for the years to come.

    Business stands ready to work with the incoming COP Presidency and all Parties to achieve just that.

    Thank you.”

    European Commission fines Gucci, Chloé and Loewe $183 million for price interference

    The European Commission has fined Gucci, Chloé, and Loewe over 157 million euros for anti-competitive pricing practices

    MILAN — MILAN (AP) — The European Commission has fined luxury fashion houses Gucci, Chloé and Loewe over 157 million euros (nearly $183 million) for anti-competitive practices restricting independent retailers’ ability to set prices for their luxury goods.

    The commission said the companies’ fixing of resale prices breached the bloc’s competition rules, and harmed consumers.

    “The decision sends a strong signal to the fashion industry and beyond that we will not tolerate this kind of practice in Europe, and that fair competition and consumer protection apply to everyone, equally,’’ Commission Vice President Teresa Ribera said in a statement on Tuesday.

    Gucci owner Kering acknowledged the decision “related to past commercial practices” and said in a statement that “a cooperative procedure” allowed “for a swifter resolution of the case.” Gucci’s fine was cut in half to nearly 120 million euros for its cooperation revealing additional breaches, the commission said. Kering said funds were set aside for the fine in the first-half of 2025.

    Chloé owner Richemont and Loewe owner LVMH did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Loewe’s fine was halved to 18 million euros for its cooperation and Chloé’s fine was reduced by 15% to nearly 20 million euros.

    The commission said that the three brands restricted the ability of independent retailers to set their own prices for high-end apparel, leather goods, footwear and accessories sold both online and in physical stores.

    The brands required the retailers to stick to recommended retail prices, set maximum discount rates as well as periods for sales, mirroring practices in the brands’ own direct sales channels.

    The practices “deprived the retailers of their pricing independence and reduced competition between them,” the commission said.
