SINGAPORE, March 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Lester Chan, CEO & Chairman, The GrowHub Limited (Nasdaq: TGHL) explains how forests, mangroves, and peatlands are reshaping climate strategy

The first wave of carbon markets was about avoidance. The second wave is about removal. The third—gathering momentum now—is about nature itself.

Across Asia, governments are recognising a fundamental truth: their most valuable carbon assets are not in industrial parks or power grids, but in mangroves, peatlands, forests, and coastal ecosystems. Nature-based solutions are no longer a niche concern for conservationists. They are becoming central to national climate strategy, economic planning, and international cooperation under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.

The Asia Advantage

Asia holds an extraordinary concentration of natural capital. Mangroves across the region store up to several times more carbon per hectare than many terrestrial forests. Tropical peatlands lock away carbon accumulated over thousands of years. Mountain and highland ecosystems provide both carbon sinks and water regulation for entire river basins.

Many governments now explicitly frame NbS as core to their climate and development pathways. Sri Lanka's third NDC, submitted in September 2025, explicitly names nature-based solutions as critical for addressing the interconnected challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, and land degradation. Bhutan, already carbon-negative, is structuring Article 6 partnerships around its forest estate.

Yet despite this potential, natural capital remains underleveraged. The forest and land-use finance gap is still measured in the hundreds of billions of dollars annually—the shortfall between current investment and what is needed to meet global climate and biodiversity targets by 2030. In Asia, private capital still accounts for only a small fraction of NbS finance.

The problem is not a lack of land or ideas. It is a lack of bankable, high‑integrity projects that governments can endorse and investors can trust.

The Integrity Imperative

The voluntary carbon market's growing pains have taught a clear lesson: volume without verification is worthless.

For nature‑based credits to command premium pricing—and for host governments to be confident in authorising mitigation outcomes under Article 6—projects must meet exacting standards of durability, additionality, and transparency. This is particularly challenging in complex, dynamic ecosystems.

Measuring biomass in dense tropical forests, tracking carbon accumulation in mangroves, and monitoring leakage across dispersed landscapes have historically been labour‑intensive, expensive, and prone to error. That is no longer acceptable.

The solution lies in digital MRV. Satellite-based remote sensing, AI‑powered biomass and land‑use modelling, and blockchain‑secured data trails are moving from experimental to essential. Countries with large forest and peatland estates are refining emission factors, strengthening greenhouse gas inventories, and tightening land‑use governance. This level of scientific and institutional rigour is what separates projects that deliver real climate impact from those that merely produce paper credits.

The Government Partnership Model

Nature‑based solutions are inherently public goods. They operate across jurisdictional boundaries, involve local communities, and intersect with land rights, conservation policy, and rural development. Only governments can provide the enabling frameworks that make NbS investable at scale.

This is why The GrowHub's approach has always centred on working with governments, not around them.

Under Article 6 bilateral cooperation, host countries retain sovereignty over their natural assets and mitigation outcomes. Partner countries bring technology, finance, and demand for high‑integrity credits. The private sector then provides the project development, execution, and technology stack that turns policy into reality.

Done well, this is not carbon colonialism; it is carbon partnership. Projects are designed to align with national development priorities—whether that is coastal protection, fire prevention, community forestry, or rural electrification—while meeting stringent requirements for quantification and verification.

In practice, this often means sitting with environment ministries, planning agencies, and local authorities to translate national climate commitments into prioritised NbS portfolios, designing safeguards and benefit‑sharing mechanisms that communities can accept, and embedding digital MRV from day one so that every authorised tonne is traceable and defensible.

Singapore's Catalytic Role

Singapore, despite its limited land area, is positioning itself as a regional hub for high‑quality nature‑based carbon solutions.

Policy and industry initiatives are increasingly focused on solving the technical bottlenecks that have held back blue carbon and forest projects—issues such as high sapling mortality, weak baselines, and inadequate monitoring. Multi‑year programmes now pair research institutions with project developers to improve mangrove and coastal restoration outcomes, backed by digital monitoring and standardised methodologies. Pilot efforts are also supporting a pipeline of blue carbon and forest projects across multiple Asian countries, linking them to emerging regional carbon markets.

Support for remote‑sensing research, biomass measurement tools, and space‑based monitoring tailored to regional conditions all point in the same direction: if Asia's natural capital is to be mobilised at scale, the methodologies and technologies must be built, tested, and governed here—not simply imported.

What Is at Stake for Governments

For governments across Asia, the case for investing in nature‑based solutions goes well beyond carbon revenues.

NbS deliver co‑benefits that engineered solutions cannot. Mangrove restoration, for instance, can reduce wave height by up to 66 percent and provide storm protection valued at over $65 billion annually—while sequestering carbon up to four times faster than terrestrial forests. Peatland rewetting reduces catastrophic fires and transboundary haze. Forest conservation safeguards biodiversity hotspots and cultural heritage, while supporting nature‑based tourism and ecosystem services.

NbS also offer a structured pathway to attract international climate finance on terms that respect national sovereignty. Under Article 6.2, bilateral cooperation allows host countries to authorise the transfer of mitigation outcomes in line with their nationally determined contributions, while retaining control over how projects are designed, approved, and monitored.

Finally, the quality premium is real. As corporate buyers become more sophisticated, they are increasingly willing to pay higher prices for credits that offer durability, transparency, and verified co‑benefits, rather than lowest‑cost tonnes with unclear impact. The market is steadily shifting toward integrity.

The GrowHub's Role

At The GrowHub, we work with governments to translate high‑level climate commitments into concrete NbS project pipelines that attract investment and deliver measurable outcomes.

In one Southeast Asian coastal programme, for example, we combine satellite imagery, ground surveys, and sensor data to track mangrove recovery and link verified ecological performance directly to credit issuance.

Our role typically spans three dimensions:

Policy to pipeline: helping governments move from Article 6 frameworks and national strategies to prioritised portfolios of nature‑based projects aligned with national development plans.

Technology to trust: deploying AI, remote sensing, and blockchain so that data across the project lifecycle—from field measurements and community engagement records to registry entries—is robust, traceable, and audit‑ready.

Projects to markets: connecting verified credits and outcomes to corporate buyers and financiers who understand that price without integrity is a liability, not a discount.

From highland reforestation to mangrove protection and regenerative land‑use, we are seeing the same shift: nature‑based solutions are moving from the margins to the mainstream of climate and development policy.

Looking Ahead

Asia's natural capital is extraordinary. But potential is not outcome. The next five years will determine whether our mangroves, forests, and peatlands become genuine climate solutions—or remain a missed opportunity.

For governments, the path is clear: prioritise quality over volume, invest in the technology and capacity that make integrity possible, and partner with organisations that respect national priorities while bringing global market access and digital MRV capabilities.

For the private sector, the mandate is equally clear: back projects with strong governance, credible host‑country alignment, and technology‑enabled transparency. The era of buying cheap, low‑integrity credits and hoping for the best is over.

At The GrowHub, our focus remains the same: help governments and corporates turn Asia's natural capital into real, measurable, and trusted climate impact. The potential is here. The technology is ready. What matters now is execution.

China-ASEAN Observation (COA): Global ocean governance is facing many new challenges. What do you think is the most pressing issue at present?

Sorajak Kasemsuvan: I think so many issues are really at the top of the list, I cannot say really which one is the top. It depends on where you are. It depends on what affect you most. Another thing that we might not even thought of, but we in several countries in Southeast Asia have been affected recently is the unprecedented level of torrential rainfalls. And flooding is now getting higher and higher and higher every year. Not because of the rainfalls only, but because of the sea level that is rising as well. So many dimensions of the problems at the moment. It's difficult to pinpoint which one will be the most important one to tackle first. We have to tackle them in a very holistic way, and we have to tackle them in a very collaborative way, multilaterally. There's no single nation that can handle it single-handedly. And also is no use for any single or any leader to say that this is not true, this is false. Scientific evidence have shown so much that this is happening. This is a great hazard to humanity.

China-ASEAN Observation (COA): How should countries' responsibilities be defined to ensure the stability and fairness of global ocean governance?

Sorajak Kasemsuvan: I think, first of all, it is important for the public in each nation to believe and to be convinced that this is really happening. And to believe that if you're not doing anything, then not only our generation, maybe not so much with our generation, but our next generation, our children, might not be safe to live anymore.

So it's important for each country and the public in this country to understand. And once they understand the risk, once they understand the hazards, once they understand the impact that will happen to the country and the generation, then they will start to think that they have to do something, both something by themselves, and also something that would be abide by the law. So the law is important in this regard, but the law will not have any impact if people don't believe in it. So we have to make everyone feel that they have to take this seriously and then be abided by the law.

China-ASEAN Observation (COA): What new challenges do you think the construction of cooperation mechanisms in the South China Sea region may face?

Sorajak Kasemsuvan: We are eagerly awaiting the COC, right? So many years already in the making. We hope at the end of these years, that next year will be the year where we have the COC. So that's one thing, we have to rush for the COC. We can't cooperate without COC. Functional cooperation is very important, I mean. The Law of the Sea convention also talk about interim measure, provisional measures, whereby countries have not agreed on the limitation yet, they can cooperate functionally on various forms of cooperation, which will not prejudice the final conclusion of the limitation. So let's cooperate in everything.

And I think the most important and easiest way to cooperate in the South China Sea is on the environmental protection of the sea. Marine environmental protection cooperation in South China Sea is very important. Everybody feels it, every littoral state of South China Sea feels the impact of marine environmental problem. And that is where we should start. And once we get all the countries-all the littoral countries, maybe with China leading, to feel that this is a sea to protect together. As long as we cooperate, as long as we make the South China Sea "the sea of peace", as long as we make the South China Sea "the sea of cooperation", as long as we make the South China Sea "the sea where we can benefit together".

China-ASEAN Observation (COA): What new opportunities and challenges do you foresee for China-ASEAN regional economic cooperation?

Sorajak Kasemsuvan: A lot, I think. I'm not expert on this, but I'm sure that China is the closest superpower neighbor to us. And not only geographically, we have proximity with China, but ethnically, we are close. I mean, people in Southeast Asia, in any countries, especially Thailand, for example, half the population, more than half have Chinese roots. So we rely on each other so much between ASEAN and China. We rely on economic cooperation so much. Now we rely also on technological cooperation. I think there are much greater rooms for China to play in enhancing the economic prosperity and growth in ASEAN countries. But for that role to be effective, it has to be reciprocal. We cannot just having China importing everything into us. China has to take things, buy things from us as well. So you have to be reciprocal. The greater our trade and economic relation is reciprocal, the greater our cooperation will be.

So in various ways, at the moment, in Thailand, for example, and also in other ASEAN countries, we look at China for environmental technology. And we import a lot of solar energy equipments, cars, EVs are very important now at the moment. All these we have to cooperate with China. Especially right now where Trump and his administration do not believe in the impact of climate change and imposing such an incredible tariffs on us, China and ASEAN, we have to hold hands together, we have to go together and create greater possibility in our region.

China-ASEAN Observation (COA): What do you regard as the core principle of maritime cooperative governance?

Sorajak Kasemsuvan: When we have cooperation, like in marine environment or even in security, coast guards, and further if you could have cooperation in the hydrocarbon or whatever, or even wind energy, then everybody feels, every nation concerned feels that we benefit from it. Once you feel that you have the benefit, you don't want to lose that benefit, because you don't want to lose that benefit due to cooperation. Then you don't want to be threatened by insecurity and conflicts in the region. So I think close cooperation is so important, collaboration is so important, in any areas, in maritime dimensions.

We need to make people convince and believe that the world is being threatened, the globe is being threatened by this very serious climate change phenomenon. This is not a fantasy. This is not something people make up. We have to make sure that everybody understands it. Understanding is more important than anything else at the moment.

Xi, also general secretary of the CPC Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks while attending a joint group meeting during the fourth session of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), the top political advisory body, Xinhua reported.

Building a Healthy China is a systematic project, Xi remarked. In the face of the people's growing and diverse healthcare needs, it is imperative to focus on major priorities and center closely on the tasks that benefit a wide range of people and have a significant impact on the overall situation. Human power and other resources should be concentrated, and effective measures be taken to improve the public health system, build up a quality and efficient medical service system, and promote healthy and positive lifestyles, so as to continuously achieve new progress, Xinhua reported.

China has established the world's largest healthcare system, with medical and healthcare systems covering both urban and rural residents have been put in place. The average life expectancy of the Chinese reached 79.25 years in 2025.

During the 14th Five Year Plan period (2021-25), the country advanced the Healthy China in a systematic way and continued to raise the overall health level of the population. The sky is bluer, the water is greener, and people around us are living longer and healthier lives. The steady improvement in people's well-being has helped safeguard both the physical and the mental health of the public.

"The blue sky is also adding to our health."

In the mid of his busy work, he often looks up at the sky. After 30 years working in sanitation, Zhang Jinhai, a deputy to the National People's Congress (NPC) and an employee at the Wetland City Development Promotion Center in Dongying, East China's Shandong Province, has developed this habit.

Over the decades, as a sanitation worker, Zhang has been among the first to see the city at dawn and the first to notice changes in the sky. His mobile phone holds many photos of the sky that he snapped along the way. From once gray and hazy, to gradually becoming clearer, and now to a deep, pristine blue, these sky photos offer a vivid record of the changing air quality in Dongying.

More than simply witnessing these changes, Zhang has long hoped to help create the changes himself. When he first started the job, he experienced firsthand the hardships faced by sanitation workers: The brooms were heavy, dust often rose during sweeping, and efficiency was low. The dust not only polluted the environment but also affected people's health.

Drawing on electrical repair skills he learned on his own, he bought components and repeatedly worked on designs, taking them apart, reassembling and testing them again and again.

In the end, he invented a retractable broom designed specifically for sanitation work. The tool directly reduces secondary dust during road cleaning, contributing to improved air quality and helping safeguard the respiratory health of residents in Dongying.

As a NPC deputy, Zhang keeps a "blue sky ledger" in his work notes, recording each and every step of environmental improvement in Dongying.

In 2025, the city's average PM 2.5 concentration was 27 micrograms per cubic meter, a year-on-year improvement of 15.6 percent, the highest in the province; there were 290 days of good air quality, up 30 days from the previous year; and there were zero heavily polluted days, down three days year-on-year.

"These are just numbers on paper, but in people's daily lives, it means more days when windows can be opened, more clothes can be dried outdoors, and fresh air can be breathed on morning walks," Zhang said, noting that these seemingly simple details reflect the most direct benefit of a better living environment on residents' health.

The continued improvement of the environment has brought tangible health benefits. Zhang revealed that in 2024, the average life expectancy in Dongying had reached 81.94 years. "These are not just dry statistics - they are the best evidence that in recent years the city has placed the health of its people at the heart of its work and implemented measures in a careful and thorough way," Zhang said. "The blue sky is also adding to our health."

Stories like this unfold right around Zhang.

Recently, Pang Xingyi from Zaoli village, Daozhuang township in Dongying, celebrated his 89th birthday. In his daily life, he often goes out for walks or plays chess, witnessing firsthand the gradual changes in his living environment. "Over the years, the village roads have been paved smoothly, and sanitation has been well maintained. Going out feels refreshing, and living here is comfortable," Pang said.

Living amid fresh air and a clean environment, Pang spoke with hope for the future: "I want to enjoy my later years in this increasingly beautiful village. I must take good care of myself and pass on this blessing."

In response to the people's growing expectations for a healthy life, Zhang offered his own reflections and advice: "We must preserve the ecological foundation of blue skies and clear waters, strengthen the health defense provided by our medical and healthcare systems, and ensure that the health benefits for the public are greater, so that people feel more fulfilled, happier, and safer."

"With cleaner water, everyone feels physically and mentally refreshed."

With just over 20 words and two photos, Wang Runmei's post went viral, receiving more than 150 likes. Both photos show the scenery near Yingze Bridge in Taiyuan, North China's Shanxi Province - one taken five years ago, and the other taken recently.

Before heading to Beijing for this year's two sessions, Wang, a deputy director and party branch secretary of the Second Division of Road Drainage Support at the Taiyuan Municipal Public Facilities Construction and Management Center and head of Drainage Group Three, posted these two photos on her WeChat Moments on a social media platform, captioning them: "Five years ago vs today. Heading to Beijing, bringing along the changes of this bridge and this river!"

Yingze Bridge spans the Fenhe River and has now become a popular city landmark for taking photos. Wang has worked in municipal administration in Taiyuan for more than 30 years, overseeing the maintenance of Yingze Bridge. Each day she commutes from west to east across the Fenhe River, snapping many photos along the way.

"I've watched the river's water grow clearer and its banks turn greener. With cleaner water, everyone feels physically and mentally refreshed," she said, taking out her phone and flipping through her photo album to show the reporters.

The visible changes are the result of a tough battle. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Taiyuan took unprecedented measures to shut down and eliminate outdated production capacity, while coordinating efforts to manage mountains, water, air, and urban development. By 2025, all six nationally monitored river sections achieved excellent water quality, and the city's air quality also saw a significant improvement.

As a NPC deputy, Wang has long focused on the city's stormwater and sewage separation issues and has repeatedly submitted related proposals. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Taiyuan vigorously promoted the separation of stormwater and sewage in built-up areas and the renovation of drainage networks.

To date, more than 110 kilometers of combined sewer networks have been upgraded, and over 3,000 combined sewer connection points have been corrected. After the renovations, an average of 79,800 cubic meters of sewage per dry day has been diverted from the stormwater system to the sewage system for proper treatment, fundamentally reversing the problem of combined sewage overflow and establishing an ecological protection barrier at the source for the Yellow River basin.

Taiyuan residents' lives revolve around the Fenhe River. Improvements in the ecological environment have directly translated into tangible health benefits for the public. Over the past two years, more than 40 scenic spots have been developed along the riverbanks, including Yanqiu Park. Sports facilities such as beach volleyball courts, football fields, and green walking trails have also been built. In the early morning and in the evening, many residents come to exercise, turning the Fenhe River into a convenient fitness destination right at their doorstep.

"In the past, we were used to wearing masks whenever we went out. Now that the environment has improved, and Taiyuan has even been named a 'China climate-friendly city,' people enjoy going out to breathe fresh air whenever they have time," Wang said. She enjoys walking along the Fenhe River with her family to relax.

Now, 165 bird species inhabit and forage in the Fenhe River wetlands in Taiyuan. In spring, black-headed gulls arrive on schedule.

"I've played a part in making the Fenhe River's water cleaner…" Wang said. "My suggestions over the years were not in vain."

In 2024, the average life expectancy of Taiyuan residents reached 80.81 years, an increase of 1.87 years compared with 2019.

"Not just Taiyuan - many places in Shanxi have seen environmental improvements. Friends in Linfen city say the air there has also gotten better, and now blue skies are no longer a rare sight," Wang said with a smile.

Before coming to Beijing this time, she had specially printed two photos of Taiyuan to bring with her. "With the ecological environment improving, people are genuinely enjoying the benefits. I want to share this joy and pride," she said, her bright eyes shining with pride.

"There are more and more long-lived residents in the village."

Having served as the village doctor for 14 years, Yang Jinjun has not only safeguarded the health of his fellow villagers but also witnessed the increasing convenience of medical care for the Miao ethnic community.

He is a NPC deputy and the village doctor of Dashui village, Chengbu Miao autonomous county, Central China's Hunan Province. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the construction of closely integrated county-level medical communities was fully promoted, and the "last mile" of public health prevention and control was increasingly accessible. As a guardian of villagers' health, Yang is now able to play a greater role and feels a stronger sense of accomplishment.

In the past, the village had no health clinic, and villagers had to endure minor illnesses on their own. If a condition worsened, they had to cross two mountains to reach the township health center 20 kilometers away, and some who waited too long ended up with serious illnesses.

Today, the village clinic is fully equipped with common medicines, making healthcare much more accessible. Most conditions, including respiratory infections, diabetes, and high blood pressure, can now be diagnosed and treated locally.

"More and more villagers are living to an old age," Yang said. The village now has more than 20 residents over 80. The rise in longevity is closely linked to improvements in primary healthcare. "I've compiled health records for over 600 villagers. Over the years, I've conducted regular follow-ups and managed chronic diseases, helping them maintain their health," he noted.

A village resident, Qin Lianglu, used to suffer frequent headaches, dizziness, and chest tightness. Worried about his condition, his family brought him to the village clinic. After having examined him, Yang found that Qin had high blood pressure and elevated blood sugar. He advised Qin's family on dietary management: "Eat more vegetables, avoid fruit, focus on whole grains instead of refined rice or flour, and have small, frequent meals." Today, at 86, Qin's blood sugar is normal. He remains energetic and walks steadily.

Over the years, township health centers have added specialized departments such as psychiatry, gynecology, and pediatrics, and can now perform tests like electrocardiograms and ultrasounds, greatly improving convenience for villagers, according to Yang. With the development of closely integrated county-level medical communities, referrals have also become easier.

When villager Tang Wengui suffered a mild stroke, his family called Yang. Upon arriving at Tang's home, Yang found that his blood pressure was high and his lips were turning purple. He advised the family to transfer him immediately to the county people's hospital. Thanks to the smooth referral system, Tang received timely treatment, and his health is now stable.

How can villagers' health be further improved?

From the perspective of a village doctor, Yang said he advocates promoting the construction of county-level medical subcenters and using the medical community system to share and jointly use equipment. If realized, the most direct benefit for the village's elderly would be that heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease could be treated at the township health center itself - saving time, effort, and resources, and ultimately giving families greater peace of mind.

"I also hope that in the future, remote medical consultations can be used to implement tiered diagnosis and treatment, allowing data to travel more while villagers travel less," said Yang.

Take a fracture. Yang said that if remote consultations are in place, an injured villager could have an X-ray at the township health center, and experts at a provincial hospital could provide a remote diagnosis. Just thinking about it makes things seem so much more convenient," Yang said enthusiastically.

He also called for measures such as targeted training, preferential promotion, and improved compensation to attract medical professionals to work in rural areas.

"I hope that in the future, more villages will have health clinics and county-level medical subcenters will be increasingly well developed. It is like adding bricks and tiles to a building. In the end, it will come together to form the beautiful picture of a Healthy China," Yang said.

Senior Global Conservation Leader Dr. Sebastian Troëng named CEO; Former EPA Administrator, Apple Executive Ms. Lisa Jackson named interim Chairman of the Board  

ARLINGTON, Va., Feb. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Conservation International today announced a new chapter in its leadership as the organization builds on decades of impact to advance a healthy, prosperous world in which societies value and care for nature.

Dr. Sebastian Troëng will become Chief Executive Officer, bringing more than three decades of global conservation leadership spanning climate solutions, biodiversity protection, and sustainable development. Troëng served nearly twenty years in senior executive roles at Conservation International, helping to shape and scale its impact across oceans, forests, science, partnerships, and field delivery worldwide. He succeeds interim CEO Dr. Daniela Raik, who has led the organization through a period of transition while advancing its ambitious agenda.

Lisa Jackson, a globally respected leader in environmental stewardship and sustainability, has been named interim Chairman of the Board of Directors. A former Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and most recently Apple's Vice President of Environment, Policy, and Social Initiatives, Jackson has served on Conservation International's Board of Directors since 2019. She succeeds Robert J. Fisher, whose leadership strengthened the organization's global reach, partnerships, and influence.

"Serving as Chairman of the Board at Conservation International has been a true privilege, and I am deeply grateful for the dedication, talent, and purpose of everyone I have worked alongside," said Robert J. Fisher. "I am inspired by the experience, integrity, and commitment our new leadership brings. Conservation International's future is in exceptionally capable hands."

"We are honored to welcome Dr. Troëng as CEO and Lisa Jackson as interim Chairman of the Board," said Vice Chair and actor Harrison Ford. "Under their leadership, Conservation International will continue to build on a powerful foundation of science, partnership, and field-based action to empower societies to responsibly and sustainably care for nature."

"Both Ms. Jackson and Dr. Troëng have demonstrated the leadership, innovation, and resolve needed to address the most pressing challenges facing nature today," said Peter Seligmann, Conservation International Founder and Chairman Emeritus. "As they take the baton from Dr. Raik and Mr. Fisher, I am confident they will expand CI's global impact and remain true to the values that define this organization. We are deeply grateful to Dr. Raik for steady leadership during this transition."

Conservation International's commitment to science-driven, people-centered conservation remains at the core of its work. Building on both long-standing success and recent milestones, the organization's new leadership will help accelerate progress at the scale and speed the moment demands.

Under Raik's interim leadership, Conservation International delivered major conservation outcomes, strengthened its voice in global policy debates, and secured significant new funding to advance its mission. These achievements include expanded protections on land and ocean, strengthened climate initiatives, as well as powerful partnerships across sectors.

Troëng brings deep institutional knowledge and a proven record of translating ambition into results. His career spans conservation leadership across Asia, Latin America, the Pacific Islands, Europe, and the United States, with a strong emphasis on locally grounded solutions and measurable impact. He is a marine biologist with a Ph.D. in Animal Zoology from Lund University in Sweden, conducted conservation and research with academic institutions and non-governmental organizations, and has authored numerous influential publications on conservation science and practice.

"I am deeply honored to return to Conservation International as CEO," said Dr. Sebastian Troëng. "There is no better way to have real impact for nature and for people than through this organization. Our mission, our values, and our people are what we need to succeed—and they are exactly what the world needs right now. I look forward to expanding and accelerating our impact to save nature for people."

"It has been an honor to serve as interim CEO during a time of both challenge and opportunity," said Dr. Daniela Raik. "Together with our extraordinary team and partners, we continued to deliver meaningful conservation outcomes for communities and ecosystems around the world. I am delighted to pass the leadership baton to Dr. Troëng, a longtime colleague and friend whose vision and experience will guide Conservation International into its next era."

"I am deeply honored to step into the role of interim Chairman of the Board and grateful for the extraordinary leadership of Robert J. Fisher," said Lisa Jackson. "Conservation International is a beacon of hope at a time when protecting nature and communities has never been more urgent. I am committed to advancing our mission with urgency, innovation, and collaboration."

Recognised as a leader in corporate transparency and action on climate change and water security

TOKYO, Jan. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ricoh's global leadership in corporate transparency and performance on climate change and water security disclosure have been recognised by CDP, an international environmental non-profit organisation, securing a place on its 2025 A list. This marks Ricoh's sixth consecutive year on CDP's Climate Change A List and its third consecutive year on the Water Security A List.

In the area of climate change, to realise a zero-carbon society, Ricoh aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from its own operations by 63% (Scope 1, 2) and to achieve a 40% reduction in GHG emissions in the supply chain, covering procurement, transportation and product use (Scope 3), by 2030 compared with 2015 levels. These targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) as 1.5°C-aligned. In addition to its internal efforts, Ricoh conducts supplier briefing sessions and encourages key suppliers to set medium- to long-term GHG reduction targets. The company has also set a goal of sourcing 100% renewable electricity for its operations by 2040 and is actively introducing renewable energy sources with high additionality.

In the 2025 assessment, CDP highlighted Ricoh's improved disclosure of Scope 3 emissions and its proactive engagement in public policy, demonstrating transparency and social leadership across the value chain.

In the area of water security, Ricoh promotes the effective use of water resources to realise a circular economy. Under its water stewardship policy, the company sets targets to reduce total water withdrawals year-over-year and is working across its global operations to reduce water consumption.

In the 2025 assessment, CDP highlighted Ricoh's disclosure of water-related risks and opportunities, as well as its efforts to ensure the sustainable management of water resources.

"Since 1998, we have advanced environmental management initiatives that simultaneously pursue environmental conservation and profit generation," said Mikako Suzuki, corporate officer in charge of ESG and risk management at Ricoh Company, Ltd. "We are furthering sustainability initiatives by aligning ESG with business growth. This year's recognition reflects global acknowledgement of our efforts in decarbonisation and resource circulation. In particular, the assessment recognised our progress in Scope 3 emissions disclosure and enhanced transparency regarding water-related risks and opportunities. We will continue working with stakeholders to further accelerate initiatives that contribute to realising a sustainable society through our business activities."

In 2025, Ricoh released the Ricoh Group Sustainability Report 2025, which outlines its policies, strategies, initiatives and performance across its ESG strategy, environmental areas including climate change, resource circulation, pollution prevention and biodiversity conservation, as well as human rights. Specifically, Ricoh provides climate change and biodiversity disclosures aligned with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and the Task Force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) frameworks, ensuring transparency for stakeholders.

Ricoh is committed to promoting decarbonisation and resource circulation across its entire value chain in collaboration with business partners and customers.

ISTANBUL, Jan. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Beko, the leading global home appliance company, today unveiled its proprietary Smart Living Index (SLI). The study revealed that financial pressures are now the biggest driver of adoption of sustainable household behaviours worldwide.

Beko Smart Living Index

One of the largest studies of its kind, the Smart Living Index tracks how consumers' views of sustainability and energy use are evolving. The study also looks at how consumers are using smart appliances within their own homes.

For the Smart Living Index, Beko surveyed a representative sample of 6,000 consumers across 12 markets - the UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Romania, Turkey, Egypt, Thailand, Pakistan and South Africa.

Consumers in every market reported changes in their approach to buying appliances in the past 12 months, with long-term affordability and sustainability increasing in importance as considerations.

In markets where consumers are actively tracking the running costs of appliances, adoption of smart features was higher. Conversely, markets that do not track energy usage so closely are slower to adopt smart features and instead turn to other energy-saving activities such as drying laundry on a washing line, or hand-washing dishes.

Key findings:

• Cost as catalyst: 8 out of 12 markets cite energy costs as the environmental concern with the greatest impact on their daily lives, reflecting how climate and sustainability challenges are most acutely felt through household energy bills.
• Global South leads the way: In western markets such as the UK, Germany, and France, consumers place less value on smart living compared to emerging markets like Egypt, Thailand and Pakistan.
• Trust gap in technology: Fewer than 20% of consumers in key European markets (France, Spain, UK, Germany) trust AI-powered appliances, despite widespread recognition that smart appliances benefit the environment.
• Going analogue: A huge proportion of the public engage in appliance substituting behaviour to save energy at home – for example, in many countries around two-thirds of respondents signaled that they dry laundry on a line.
• The age vs. income paradox: Energy-saving activity increases with age, but decreases with income, defying conventional assumptions about environmental engagement. The over-54 age group leads across all energy-saving behaviours.
• Demand for government support: Over 50% of respondents from all markets agreed that government policy should support consumers as they switch to more resource-efficient home appliances rather than leaving the transition entirely to households.
• The future is smart: Thailand (81%), Pakistan (86%) and Turkey (80%) show most enthusiasm for appliances to become even smarter, with Germany (39%), the UK (40%) and France (43%) placing less focus on smart innovation. However, countries are united in being most excited by innovations that are self-cleaning or energy-generating.

Commenting on the launch of the Smart Living Index, Hakan Bulgurlu, Chief Executive Officer at Beko, said: "The Smart Living Index highlights the urgent need to bridge the trust gap in smart technology and its benefits to unlock its full potential for smarter, more sustainable living in every household. The findings also show how small, individual changes – when adopted at scale – can create significant collective impact. At Beko, we believe that consumers should have access to options designed to reduce environmental impact, regardless of financial pressures. By understanding global energy-saving trends and perceptions of smart appliances, we are even more equipped to meet the needs of our customers and support the shift toward more sustainable living."

Economic growth targets have long attracted close attention. Over the past three years, China set its GDP growth target at around 5 percent, and the actual growth rate met the goal each year. Against this backdrop, this year's target has drawn particular interest.

On Thursday, while taking part in a deliberation with his fellow deputies from the delegation of Jiangsu Province at the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress (NPC), Chinese President Xi Jinping said that to fulfill the development goals of the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), China must navigate a more complex environment and resolve more deep-seated contradictions.

Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, urged major provincial economies to redouble efforts to gain experience in analyzing new situations and solving new problems.

For the first year of the 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) period, why the growth target was set at "4.5 percent to 5 percent"? What such a target implies for effective economic work? Thinking these questions through clearly and thoroughly will help us to fully, deeply, and accurately understand and grasp the strategic arrangements for economic and social development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, as outlined at the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, and to unite our efforts and work diligently to achieve a good start to the 15th Five-Year Plan.

The growth target of 4.5 percent to 5 percent is a proactive and pragmatic goal that grasps the underlying principles, taking into account both domestic economic operations and changes in the external environment, and balancing needs and possibilities.

For the target itself, "4.5 percent to 5 percent" is a range-based target. This leaves room to respond to various uncertainties while allowing different regions to set their own growth targets in light of local conditions. It also helps guide all sectors to focus their efforts on achieving high-quality development.

Indeed, this is not the first time China has set a range-based target in recent years. In 2016, China set its growth target at 6.5 percent to 7 percent, and in 2019 at 6 percent to 6.5 percent. Actual growth reached 6.8 percent and 6.1 percent in those two years, respectively. The decision to again adopt a target range this year reflects a coordinated consideration of both international and domestic situations, balancing development needs with possibilities, and embodying a pragmatic, fact-based approach.

Meanwhile, the sentence in the growth target - "striving for better results in practice" - underscores a proactive and enterprising goal-oriented approach and policy orientation. As long as favorable conditions are fully utilized, achieving better results remains entirely possible.

In terms of the general laws of economic development, it is common for growth to stabilize as an economy expands in size. After surpassing 140 trillion yuan in 2025, China's annual economic increment alone is now comparable to the total output of a medium-sized economy. At the same time, the conditions underpinning China's growth such as factor endowments and allocation efficiency are evolving, while continued development faces increasing constraints from resources and the environment. Today, achieving each additional percentage point of GDP growth requires greater efforts and the ability to confront larger challenges.

The growth target of 4.5 percent to 5 percent fully takes into account changes in both domestic and international situations and the evolving development environment.

At present, China's development environment is undergoing profound and complex changes. Domestically, the population aging is deepening, resource and environmental constraints are intensifying, and the transition from old to new growth drivers remains a demanding task. Externally, economic globalization is facing headwinds, geopolitical risks are intensifying, and global economic growth remains sluggish. The IMF forecasts global economic growth of 3.3 percent in 2026.

The growth target of 4.5 percent to 5 percent reflects a careful consideration of various domestic and international factors, as well as our advantages and potential risks and challenges. It is a realistic goal that fully acknowledges potential difficulties while remaining achievable with sustained effort.

The growth target of 4.5 percent to 5 percent balances the needs of both current and long-term development.

An important indicator of basically realizing socialist modernization is the "per capita GDP reaching the level of a moderately developed country." Working backward from the long-term development goals through 2035 and taking into account the projected population by that time, China's GDP would need to grow at an average annual rate of 4.17 percent during the 15th and 16th Five-Year Plan (2031-35) periods. Considering factors such as resource supply, technological progress, and institutional innovation, China's potential growth rate over the next decade is fully capable of supporting an average annual expansion of about 4.17 percent.

Viewed within the broader framework of Chinese modernization, the growth target of 4.5 percent to 5 percent aligns with medium- and long-term development goals and will help ensure the basic realization of socialist modernization. It represents a proactive yet pragmatic goal - one that aims high while maintaining steady progress - consistent with China's current development stage and the general laws of economic development.

For the first year of the 15th Five-Year Plan period, the growth target of 4.5 percent to 5 percent also takes into full account the need to leave policy space for structural adjustment, risk prevention, and reform. It will help stabilize employment, businesses, markets, and expectations, promote both qualitative improvements and reasonable quantitative growth in the economy, maintain social harmony and stability, and secure a solid start to the 15th Five-Year Plan period.

The growth target of 4.5 percent to 5 percent reflects an approach that seeks progress while maintaining stability and emphasizes improvement in quality and efficiency, helping drive high-quality and sustainable development.

While presiding over a group study session of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee on January 30, General Secretary Xi noted that the extent of scientific and technological breakthroughs largely determines the speed, breadth and depth of the development of future industries.

"Developing new quality productive forces is crucial to driving high-quality development and enhancing economic competitiveness." Achieving high-quality development requires continuous improvements in labor, capital, land, resource and environmental efficiency, as well as a greater contribution from technological progress and higher total factor productivity.

Estimates show that in order to basically realize socialist modernization by 2035, China needs to maintain an average annual growth of around 2 percent in total factor productivity. Raising total factor productivity hinges on guiding advanced production factors to cluster around the development of new quality productive forces.

Adhering to the overall principle of pursuing progress while ensuring stability and focusing on high-quality development, the growth target of 4.5 percent to 5 percent carries richer meaning. It provides scientific guidance for growth in scale while setting higher requirements for improvements in quality and efficiency, reflecting deeper changes in development philosophy, growth models and sources of momentum.

In the first week after the Spring Festival holidays, China achieved a series of breakthroughs in key technologies: original advances in core lithium battery technologies, new progress in space-based biological experiments, and the first large-scale use of drones at offshore oilfields. Some foreign media commented that China, now entering an "innovation boom," is reshaping the global technological landscape.

At the ongoing "two sessions," lawmakers and political advisers have also brought a number of encouraging new developments.

Huang Sanwen, president of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and an academician of the of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said proudly that "China's grain, vegetables and meat are now mainly produced using Chinese-developed seeds."

Pan Jianwei, executive vice president of the University of Science and Technology of China, noted that China continues to lead globally in quantum communication while remaining among the world's top tier in quantum computing.

Zhong Baoshen, chairman and general manager of Longi Green Energy Technology, said with confidence that China's photovoltaic industry has demonstrated strong growth potential and resilience, achieving a shift from catching up to taking the lead.

Economic development is a dynamic process. Today's growth cannot be measured with yesterday's yardsticks, nor can today's development be viewed through the lens of the past.

Today, the growth target of 4.5 percent to 5 percent is not merely a speed indicator, nor a simple linear expansion in scale. Achieving it requires fully and faithfully implementing the new development philosophy, balancing improvements in quality with expansion in scale, and continuously generating stronger momentum for Chinese modernization.

The growth target of 4.5 percent to 5 percent can be fully achieved with sustained effort, and even better results can be pursued. The key lies in seeking truth from facts and working diligently to deliver concrete results.

The 15th Five-Year Plan period is a critical stage. Viewed from the historical timeline, only ten years remain until China aims to basically realize socialist modernization by 2035. It is therefore necessary to consolidate the foundation and advance on all fronts - achieving visible accomplishments while also undertaking long-term, foundational work.

The tighter the timeframe and the more complex the situation becomes, the more important it is to maintain strategic resolve, strengthen confidence in development, and carry forward a spirit of hard work, using the certainty of high-quality development to cope with the uncertainties of the international environment.

South China's Guangdong Province, a pioneer, trailblazer and testing ground of reform and opening-up, has ranked first in China in terms of regional GDP for 37 consecutive years. How can it continue to stay at the forefront?

Comparing oneself to others makes it hard to escape anxiety over growth rates. Comparing to its own past, however, allows Guangdong to better clarify its goals and find the right direction. For instance, in addressing the "largest shortcoming" of unbalanced urban-rural and regional development, Guangdong has launched the "Hundreds, Thousands and Tens of Thousands Project" tailored to its conditions, promoting stronger counties, invigorated towns, and revitalized villages.

Baiyun District, the largest central urban district in Guangzhou by both area and population, has long faced constraints from its urban-rural dual structure in pursuing high-quality development. In Qinghe Village of Renhe Town, 1,800 mu (120 hectares) of scattered farmland have been transformed into Renheyuan, a national 3A-level tourist attraction. In Helong Subdistrict, a low-end village-level industrial park has been upgraded into the design capital of Guangzhou, generating annual revenues of over 90 billion yuan. Since the implementation of the "Hundreds, Thousands and Tens of Thousands Project," all four towns in Baiyun District have entered the list of China's top 250 towns in terms of economic strength, while total collective village income across the district has surpassed 10 billion yuan, ranking first in Guangzhou.

The principle of "comparing with oneself" provides an important methodological approach for regions across China to carry out economic work in line with their own conditions.

Southwest China's Yunnan Province has remained committed to an eco-priority and green development path, building a strong ecological security barrier in Southwest China. Shanghai is working to accelerate the building of a sci-tech innovation hub with global influence. North China's Shanxi Province is striving to make new strides in transforming its resource-based economy.

"Comparing with oneself" means focusing on doing one's own work well and addressing the challenges encountered in one's own development process.

During the 15th Five-Year Plan period, China's development environment will undergo profound and complex changes, and economic and social development will face many new issues. "We must seize this window of opportunity to consolidate and expand our advantages, remove bottlenecks and constraints, and shore up weaknesses. In the face of intense international competition, we must gain strategic initiative, advance major tasks that bear on the overall progress of Chinese modernization, and ensure decisive progress toward the basic realization of socialist modernization."

Chinese modernization is achieved step by step through hard work. By making our utmost efforts and striving for the best possible results - forging ahead step by step, advancing stage by stage, and accumulating small victories into greater ones - our target will definitely be achieved.

Full-Year Dividend Reaches HK$1.12 with Payout Ratio Rising Significantly to 60.3%

HONG KONG, March 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Shanghai Industrial Holdings Limited ("SIHL" or the "Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group"; HKEX stock code: 363.HK) announced its audited annual results for the year ended 31 December 2025. Revenue amounted to HK$20.832 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of 28.0%. Profit attributable to owners of the Company was HK$2.02 billion, down 28.1% year-on-year. The Board has recommended a final dividend of HK50 cents per share, and proposed a special dividend of HK20 cents per share to celebrate the 30^th anniversary of listing. Together with the interim dividend of HK42 cents per share, the total dividend for the year amounted to HK$1.12 per share, with payout ratio raised significantly to 60.3%, in recognition of shareholders' long-standing support.

2025 Annual Results Highlights:

Revenue and Profit Contributions by Business:

In 2025, the global economic environment faced multiple challenges, including tariff friction, financial market volatility, and heightened geopolitical tensions. Against this backdrop, China's economy demonstrated strong resilience under pressure, maintaining overall steady and positive momentum, while continued infrastructure investment provided solid support for domestic demand growth. Amid a complex operating environment, the Group's management team adhered to the development principle of "seeking progress while maintaining stability and upholding core businesses while fostering innovation", continuously refining its business portfolio and actively advancing the synergistic, high-quality development of "technology + finance + industry". The Group's core businesses maintained steady development, while the infrastructure and environmental protection and consumer products segments continued to contribute to the Group's profitability. At the same time, through disciplined and targeted capital operations, the Group enhanced capital efficiency, laying a solid foundation for its medium- to long-term strategic development.

During the year, the Group recorded revenue of HK$20.832 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of 28.0%. Profit attributable to owners of the Company was HK$2.02 billion, down 28.1% year-on-year. The change in results was mainly attributable to the gain on disposal of the Group's relevant equity interest in the Hangzhou Bay Bridge recorded in the previous years, coupled with a year-on-year decrease in booked sales from property delivery, provisions for impairment of real estate inventories, and a decrease in the fair value of investment properties. The Board has recommended a final dividend of HK50 cents per share, and proposed a special dividend of HK20 cents per share to celebrate the 30^th anniversary of its listing. Together with the interim dividend of HK42 cents per share, the total dividend for the year amounted to HK$1.12 per share, with payout ratio raised significantly to 60.3%, in recognition of shareholders' long-standing support.

During the year, the Group's various businesses developed steadily. The profit from the infrastructure and environmental protection business decreased by 31.5% year-on-year to HK$1.801 billion, accounting for approximately 93.4% of the Group's Net Business Profit. During the year, in response to national green development policy directives, the Group concentrated its efforts on the development of its water-treatment and water resource utilization core businesses. Action was also taken to expand its market share and optimise its business deployment, with a view to further consolidating its leading position in China's water-service and environmental-protection industries.

During the year, the Group further optimized its business layout and sharpened its focus on core businesses. S.I. Yangtze River Delta Ecological Development Limited, in which the Company holds a 50% equity interest, disposed of all its shareholdings in Shanghai Pharmaceutical Group and SUS Environment for considerations of approximately RMB6.720 billion and RMB6.587 billion, respectively, generating aggregate net cash proceeds of approximately RMB5.2 billion. These disposals enabled the Company to realise the accumulated gains from its investments in Shanghai Pharmaceutical Group and SUS Environment, while also accelerating the recovery of a substantial amount of invested capital. This not only enhanced the Group's capital utilization efficiency but also provided greater flexibility for its medium- to long-term strategic planning, laying a solid foundation for future asset optimization and capital allocation and supporting the Group's focus on its core business areas.

In addition, the privatization proposal for Canvest Environmental had been completed, which was delisted from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 2 June 2025. Together with the early redemption of the exchangeable bonds, the Company recovered approximately HK$4.029 billion in cash, further strengthening its cash flow.

The real estate business recorded a loss of HK$632 million in 2025, accounting for approximately -32.7% of the Group's Net Business Profit. The loss was mainly attributable to a decrease in booked sales from property delivery in the real estate business compared with last year, as well as provisions for impairment of real estate inventory and the decrease in fair value of investment properties. Against the backdrop of deep adjustment in the property sector, the Group remained committed to its strategy of taking Shanghai as its core and deepening its presence in the Yangtze River Delta. The Group actively explored and promoted the smooth transition of its real estate business to a new development model.

The consumer products business contributed a profit of HK$756 million for the year, an increase of 17.5% year-on-year and accounting for approximately 39.2% of the Group's Net Business Profit. In 2025, despite sustained macroeconomic pressures, intensified competition in the consumer products markets, and growing cost uncertainties, Nanyang Brothers Tobacco Company, Limited ("Nanyang Tobacco") and The Wing Fat Printing Company, Limited ("Wing Fat Printing") achieved steady development by optimizing market strategies and improving cost efficiency, becoming an important driver of the Group's profit growth.

Consumer Products

• Nanyang Tobacco recorded full-year revenue of HK$2.457 billion, up 12.6% year-on-year and net profit of HK$650 million, up 16.1% year-on-year. Nanyang Tobacco adhered to a proactive market strategy, with digital transformation and intelligent upgrades as key development paths. It comprehensively advanced new product R&D as well as process optimization and upgrading, while deepening cost and expense control, delivering strong sales performance for the full year. All sales channels delivered solid performance. Despite the impact of substantial tobacco tax increases imposed by the Hong Kong government over two consecutive years, along with stringent tobacco control policies, the duty-paid market in Hong Kong and Macau recorded its highest quarterly sales of the year in the fourth quarter, driven by new product launches. Amid challenges including slower sell-through, the mainland market successfully achieved its annual sales targets and recorded growth. Through better supply-demand coordination, the duty-free markets in Mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau, together with overseas duty-free markets, saw sales stabilise in the second half of the year, exceed budget and record slight year-on-year growth. The export and ship-tobacco markets achieved growth against the market trend through channel integration and shipment control.
• Wing Fat Printing recorded revenue of HK$1.504 billion, representing a year-on-year decrease of 5.05%, while net profit amounted to HK$109.59 million, up 15.1% year-on-year. During the year, Wing Fat Printing further optimized its revenue structure. The tobacco-packaging business stabilized; the medicine-packaging business maintained growth; and the e-cigarette packaging business rapidly scaled up. Together, the three segments supported the company's steady operational development. The company's overall gross profit margin improved steadily, and notable progress was made in cost control, capacity utilization and management efficiency.

SIHL Chairlady Leng Weiqing stated, "Looking ahead to 2026, the global economy is expected to present a complex landscape characterized by divergent growth, easing inflation and intertwined risks. As the opening year of the 15th Five-Year Plan, and what the Group has defined as its 'Year of Concerted Endeavor', the Group will continue to leverage its industrial footprint rooted in Shanghai and Hong Kong and connected to international markets, together with its strengths in capital operations. Focusing on its core environmental health business, the Group will strive to build a development framework featuring 'Superior product, Uppermost brand, Remarkable innovation, Modernized governance,' as it advances decisively toward becoming a world-class enterprise and maximising value for shareholders and all stakeholders.

Each business segment will align closely with the Group's overall strategy, making targeted efforts and advancing steadily. In the infrastructure and environmental protection segment, the government has clearly called for accelerating comprehensive green transformation in economic and social development. SIIC Environment will seize favorable policy opportunities, advancing the orderly construction and upgrading of existing projects while exploring high-quality new project opportunities to continuously strengthen its growth momentum and further consolidate its leading position in China's water and environmental-protection industries. The toll road segment will continue to advance expressway digitalization as well as expansion and upgrading plans, while actively capturing industry development opportunities.

In the real estate segment, industry policies are expected to remain accommodative, with the market focusing on structural opportunities arising from 'quality cities + quality homes'. The Group will adhere to the principle of 'controlling increments and revitalizing existing assets', while continuing to deepen its business restructuring through the expansion of asset-light services such as property management, elderly care and leasing, thereby gradually establishing a new development model for its real estate business and enhancing competitiveness.

In the consumer products segment, Nanyang Tobacco will take 'Consolidating the foundation, improving quality and efficiency, and driving innovation and transformation' as its annual focus. It will deepen the transformation and upgrading of its core business, promote a shift in its product mix toward premiumization and differentiation, continuously reinforce the competitiveness of its core products and foster new quality productive forces. Wing Fat Printing will uphold its vision of becoming a green, low-carbon, tech-driven manufacturing enterprise, implement its 'Revitalization of Legacy Business' initiative, and pursue its transformation toward green and smart operations.

The Group will remain committed to high-quality development and strive to deliver new breakthroughs across all its businesses. Through solid operating performance and a sustainable development model, the Group will spare no effort in creating long-term value for shareholders."

While celebrations remain vibrant and meaningful, consumers are increasingly value-conscious in their spending. Festive budgets are largely directed toward food, groceries, and essential household items that are actively used during gatherings. Practicality and efficiency shaped purchasing decisions, especially for items that support hosting and hospitality.

Across Singapore, paper-based essentials such as tissue, food packaging, and paper bags play a key role in Chinese New Year celebrations, contributing an uplift in demand as families hosted reunion dinners. Increased use of paper-based products is also reflected in rising tissue consumption, with Singapore's tissue paper market projected to grow at a steady 2.91% CAGR through 2027. The surge highlights the importance of responsible consumption. Consumers are now mindful of choosing products that balance convenience with sustainability.

"APP Group recognizes that responsibility goes beyond the final product. Our finished paper and tissue products are certified under recognized standards such as PEFC. However at the core of production lies sustainable practices such as our Regenesis commitment and our Forest Positive Policy program. We understand that during festive seasons, demand for pulp and paper-based products increases, and consumers expect quality. At the same time, it is equally important that these products are sustainably produced and comply with Singapore's standards". Said Kin Keung Christopher Wong, SVP & Global BU Head Industrial White of APP Group.

The festive season serves as a reminder that seasonal demand spikes must be matched with responsible production practices. By supporting responsible product solutions from food-safe packaging to everyday tissue essentials, APP Group aims to ensure traditions are practiced and aligns with both cultural values and sustainability priorities.

About APP Group
APP is a leading Indonesia-based pulp, paper, and forestry company supplying tissue, packaging, and paper products to more than 150 countries.

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, April 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GIBO Holdings Ltd. (NASDAQ: GIBO) today announced a major technological advancement under its GIBO WATCH framework, addressing one of the most critical limitations in AI-generated filmmaking: continuity and contextual consistency across scenes.

As AI-generated video production rapidly scales, maintaining visual coherence—such as consistent character appearance, scene transitions, and narrative flow—has emerged as a fundamental challenge. GIBO's latest proprietary system directly tackles this issue by introducing a suite of engines designed to ensure persistent context awareness, version traceability, and automated quality assurance throughout the content production lifecycle.

This development represents a significant milestone toward achieving production-grade AI filmmaking, where large-scale content generation can meet professional storytelling standards.

Solving the "Continuity Problem" in AI Video Production

Traditional AI video generation systems often struggle with maintaining consistency across frames and scenes. Issues such as changing character outfits, inconsistent environments, and visual artifacts have limited the scalability of AI-generated content for professional use.

GIBO WATCH introduces a new layer of intelligence that enables AI systems to "remember" and enforce continuity rules across the entire production process.

At the core of this advancement is GIBO's proprietary Context-Retention Engine, which tracks key narrative and visual elements—including character attributes, styling, scene composition, and storyline progression—ensuring that generated content remains consistent from start to finish.

Integrated Engines Powering Next-Generation AI Filmmaking

The GIBO WATCH framework integrates multiple specialized components to deliver a fully controlled and scalable AI production environment.

The Version Control & Collaboration System allows creators and production teams to track iterative changes across scripts, scenes, and edits, enabling structured workflows and collaborative content development. This ensures that every version of a project can be reviewed, refined, and reverted with precision.

The Context-Retention Engine serves as the backbone of continuity management, preserving character identity, wardrobe, visual styling, and environmental consistency across multiple scenes and episodes.

The Automated QA Engine continuously scans generated content for visual inconsistencies and technical defects, such as background morphing, rendering artifacts, or scene misalignment. This system significantly reduces manual review requirements while improving overall production quality.

In addition, GIBO WATCH incorporates UGC Moderation Tools, enabling platforms to manage large volumes of user-generated content by automatically detecting policy violations, inappropriate material, and quality issues, ensuring a safer and more reliable content ecosystem.

Advancing Toward Industrial-Grade AI Content Production

With these advancements, GIBO is positioning GIBO WATCH as a critical infrastructure layer for the next generation of AI-driven content platforms.

By combining continuity control, collaborative workflows, and automated quality assurance, the system enables creators and platforms to produce high-volume, high-quality short-form content without sacrificing narrative integrity or visual standards.

This breakthrough is particularly significant for short drama ecosystems, where rapid production cycles and episodic storytelling demand both speed and consistency.

Redefining the Standard for AI-Generated Storytelling

GIBO believes that solving continuity and context is essential to unlocking the full commercial potential of AI-generated filmmaking. The introduction of these capabilities marks a transition from experimental AI content generation to scalable, production-ready storytelling infrastructure.

As the demand for short-form video continues to grow globally, GIBO WATCH is expected to play a central role in enabling platforms, studios, and creators to deliver consistent, high-quality narratives at scale.

The 20th Guizhou Tourism Industry Development Conference was held in Guiyang on March 30. The opening ceremony at Drum Tower Square in Colorful Guizhou city highlighted the province's progress in smart tourism and artificial intelligence. It also unveiled new characters from the "Huangxiaoxi" mascot family and promoted the "stub economy", a ticket-stub reward initiative, along with the "Cool Guiyang Top 10 New Scenic Spots".

Among attendees were 15 international media professionals and content creators participating in the 2026 China Storyteller Partnerships. From March 27 to 31, they gained firsthand experience of Fanjing Mountain, the famous cave basketball courts, and the historic Zhongnanmen Historical and Cultural Tourist Area, amongst others. Through the lens of these international guests, the narrative of Guizhou tourism is entering a more authentic, open and collaborative era.

To develop Guizhou into a leading national destination for tourism and long-term stays, 10 provincial departments, including the Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, jointly issued a series of measures to support tourism-related residential development. The steps establish a policy framework covering land supply, revitalization of existing assets, financial and fiscal support, and standardized operations.

Technical guidelines are also being prepared to homogenized construction requirements across six areas, including environmental livability and green, low-carbon development. Guizhou's tourism-related residential sector is shifting toward an integrated model combining development, services and operations. Efforts focus on improving product quality, expanding the customer base and cultivating professional operators.

Authorities are also strengthening four support systems to advance high-quality industry development: policy standards, resource guarantees, promotion, and supporting services.

Accelerated by conservation and infrastructure

Guizhou is known for its cool summer climate, with an average temperature of about 23 degrees Celsius and excellent air quality on more than 99 percent of days. With an average altitude of around 1,100 meters, the province offers favorable conditions for health and wellness tourism, alongside a rich cultural heritage shaped by diverse ethnic groups and revolutionary history.

The hospitality sector has expanded rapidly, with 304 star-rated hotels and about 13,000 guesthouses. Transportation infrastructure has also improved, with 1,900 kilometers of high-speed rail and more than 9,390 kilometers of expressways, ensuring expressway access to every county and airports in all prefecture-level cities.

Since emerging in the 1990s, Guizhou's tourism-related residential sector has grown steadily. By 2025, out-of-province buyers are expected to purchase about 30,000 homes, accounting for 17.9 percent of total sales.

Cities such as Guiyang and Liupanshui have repeatedly been included on national summer resort lists, boosting their visibility and supporting the province's development as a tourism, residential and wellness destination.

Steered by data and strategy

The 2026 Guizhou Tourism and Residence Research Report notes that China's tourism-residence sector is entering a period of rapid growth. With its natural resources and industrial foundation, Guizhou is well-positioned to benefit from this trend.

Government initiatives, growing tourism demand and improvements in supply have created a positive cycle of development, strengthening the province's position in the national tourism-residence market.

Meanwhile, innovation in tourism-residence models and deeper integration of culture and tourism are helping drive the development of intellectual property-based tourism products and new market opportunities.

HIROSHIMA, Japan, March 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Murakami Farm Co., Ltd., announced on March 30 that the company's sales of "Broccoli Super Sprouts," produced by Taiwanese company "Greenvines" under license, recorded a twofold year-on-year increase in FY2025, demonstrating that its first overseas license business is rapidly gaining speed.

Boasting the top market share of sprouts in Japan, Murakami Farm entered into a license agreement for the production and sales of sprout products with Greenvines in the Taiwan region in 2021, with shipments starting in 2022.

Murakami Farm has systematized its know-how in the selection of material seeds, production/quality management, and marketing cultivated over many years in the field of sprout products and has been providing its latest techniques to Greenvines. Behind the growth of the sprout business in the Taiwan region are increasing health awareness and high confidence in the Japanese brand among local people.

In the Taiwan region, the ratio of people eating out has rapidly risen due to the increasing number of double-income households, and inadequate intake of fresh vegetables is seen as a problem. In addition, the population in the Taiwan region is aging as in Japan, and they seem to be becoming more and more health-conscious. Under these circumstances, Broccoli Super Sprouts, containing high concentrations of the beneficial compound "sulforaphane," is gaining increasing support mainly among highly health-conscious people. In addition, people's sense of trust in the safety and production/quality management of the product as a licensed Japanese-branded product has supported its growing demand. As in Japan, the amount of sulforaphane contained in the product produced in the Taiwan region is also regularly measured at Murakami Farm's Sulforaphane Laboratory to check whether the product contains an adequate amount. In this way, the company has realized a system for producing and shipping the products while also checking sulforaphane levels.

This project is one of the initiatives of Murakami Farm's overseas license business in developing its knowledge and know-how concerning Japan-grown sprouts. In the global market, there is also increasing interest in sprout products focusing on functionality. The company has a future-based policy of further strengthening its business foundation in the Taiwan region and developing overseas license businesses mainly in Asia. By providing the latest plant factory techniques that can produce products of reliable quality throughout the year independent of environmental changes such as climate conditions, it will enhance local people's health and promote its business growth in the expanding global market.

Ethisphere recognizes manufacturer's commitment to ethical business practices for the 20th consecutive year

SPARTANBURG, S.C., March 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Milliken & Company has been named one of the 2026 World's Most Ethical Companies^® by Ethisphere, marking the 20th consecutive year the global diversified manufacturer has received the recognition. Milliken is one of only six companies to be honored every year since the program's inception in 2007.

Milliken & Company has been recognized as one of the 2026 World’s Most Ethical Companies® by Ethisphere for the 20th consecutive year.

The milestone reflects a long‑standing commitment to ethical business practices that are embedded across Milliken's governance, culture, and operations.

"Earning recognition as a World's Most Ethical Company for twenty consecutive years reflects something deeply ingrained at Milliken," said Halsey Cook, president and CEO of Milliken & Company. "That kind of consistency does not happen by chance, and it's not because of a single policy or leader. It is built over time through a culture that encourages everyone across the organization to make the right choices day after day, even when no one is watching."

Milliken's ethics and compliance program is built around formal governance, documented standards, and continuous oversight. Ethics and compliance are integrated into enterprise risk management and reinforced through ongoing training, leadership accountability, and reporting mechanisms that encourage associates to speak up.

"Being recognized as a World's Most Ethical Company does not suggest the work is complete," said Kasel Knight, executive vice president, chief legal officer, and head of sustainability. "It reinforces the importance of maintaining strong systems, remaining transparent, and continuing to evolve as expectations and risks change."

The World's Most Ethical Companies assessment is based on Ethisphere's proprietary Ethics Quotient^®, which evaluates companies across governance, ethics and compliance, culture, environmental and social impact, and value‑chain practices. The assessment requires extensive documentation and validation of policies, programs, and practices.

"Our World's Most Ethical Companies process has evolved over the last two decades, and Milliken's practices have kept pace with our rising expectations," said Erica Salmon Byrne, Ethisphere's Chief Strategy Officer and Executive Chair. "We know that companies committed to business integrity are best positioned to navigate rapid change. Congratulations to the Milliken team for this consistent recognition."
