My Paw Spot is my commitment to building a more connected and compassionate experience for families and professionals, and we look forward to bringing new features to the community throughout 2026.”

Through My Paw Spot, members can participate in community discussions, post or discover upcoming events, learn from shared experiences, and access curated products selected for comfort and everyday practicality. Pet care professionals and service providers—including trainers, groomers, walkers, pet care specialists, and pet-friendly businesses—can also join the platform to connect with families who value transparency, expertise, and dependable care.

A refined auction house experience built on disciplined curation, clear discovery, and modern presentation

VA, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Victorins Auctions continues to shape a modern benchmark for curated designer and estate collectibles, advancing an auction house model defined by focused selection and consistent presentation.

With an emphasis on recognizable design heritage and collectible depth, Victorins Auctions brings together categories that remain central to long-term collecting, from designer pieces to estate finds and decorative antiques.

The standard Victorins Auctions sets is rooted in intentional curation. Rather than treating collectibles as interchangeable inventory, Victorins Auctions frames each auction as a concentrated selection, designed to keep attention on what matters most: pristine design, distinctive character, and lasting collectibility. This approach supports a more confident auction experience, where participants can follow collections without being overwhelmed by noise.

“Curated does not mean limited, it means intentional,” said Kate Morgan, the Chief of Staff. “Victorins is built to make designer and estate collectibles feel discoverable, organized, and worth spending time with. That is the standard we keep raising.”

Victorins Auctions also emphasizes clarity in how collections are organized and explored.
Presentation is equally central to the Victorins Auctions model. Each auction is designed to feel cohesive, with clear listings and a consistent format across categories.

In an era where auctions are increasingly discovered online, clear structure and consistent presentation are becoming part of what defines quality.
Victorins Auctions span a broad range of collectible interests, reflecting the way modern collectors combine designer heritage with estate character and decorative history.

Updates on active and upcoming auctions are shared through Victorins Auctions official channels.

About Victorins Auctions:

Victorins is an auction house focused on curated designer and estate collectibles, presenting auctions across categories including jewelry, luxury accessories, and antiques.

N-iX’s announced that its near-term science-based climate targets’ve been validated by the SBTi. The validation is detailed in the company’s ESG Report 2025.

NORTH MIAMI BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, February 18, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — N-iX, a global software engineering company, with 2,400+ specialists across Europe, the Americas, and APAC, has announced that its near-term science-based climate targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). The validation, received in July 2025, is detailed in the company’s newly published ESG Report 2025.

SBTi confirmed that the company’s Scope 1 and Scope 2 reduction plans align with a 1.5°C climate trajectory. The company’s Scope 3 target of 87.1%, exceeds the standard pathway requirements of 37.8% by a significant margin.

N-iX commits to maintaining zero absolute Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions from 2020 through 2029 and reducing Scope 2 emissions by 37.8% by 2029, compared to its 2020 baseline. Since 2020, the company has already reduced Scope 3 emissions by more than 80%, driven by supply chain optimization and reduced business travel.

Specifically, N-iX achieved an 88% reduction in purchased goods and services emissions (Category 1) and a 91% reduction in business travel emissions (Category 6), measured in 2024 against the 2020 baseline.

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, N-iX has raised and donated more than $6.9 million through humanitarian, educational, and recovery programs. The company also continues to fund education initiatives through its IT is Charity Fund established in 2018, and contributes to 13 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

N-iX reports annually to CDP and the United Nations Global Compact. In 2025, it achieved a “B” Climate rating from CDP, the highest SME score available.

“Sustainability at N-iX is built into how we operate and how our clients evaluate us as a partner,” said Sviatoslav Kavetskyi, Director of Industry Affairs at N-iX. “The SBTi validation confirms our targets are credible, not aspirational. When your Scope 3 target is 87.1% and the standard asks for 37.8%, that’s a commitment backed by four years of measured results.”
