HONG KONG, June 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Driven by a sense of purpose to build a future where people and place enrich one another, Rosewood Hotel Group is proud to announce Rosewood Impacts, a groupwide roadmap for delivering positive impact on all its communities and the planet we call home. With deeper commitments to empowering people across the brand's entire ecosystem and a sustainability approach that puts circular hospitality at the core of business operations, Rosewood Impacts is both a recognition of the group's ongoing programs and a strategic roadmap for future efforts. With tangible goals in the fields of sustainability, employment, partnerships and more, the comprehensive roadmap champions consequential policies and programming under two distinct pillars: Rosewood Empowers and Rosewood Sustains. Rosewood Hotel Group is proud to announce Rosewood Impacts, a groupwide roadmap for delivering positive impact on all its communities and the planet we call home. "At Rosewood Hotel Group, we are wholly committed to rooting ourselves more deeply in every place we are in. With Rosewood Impacts, we are not only championing the exemplary efforts being made across our organization but setting new benchmarks for positive impact that will propel us forward to a more sustainable and equitable tomorrow," says Sonia Cheng, Chief Executive Officer of Rosewood Hotel Group. "We are proud of the work that our group has accomplished over the last forty-plus years of operations, but firmly maintain that we must do more." Rosewood Empowers Rosewood Empowers encapsulates the group's belief that equal access to opportunity is the key to uplifting communities. To this end, Rosewood is dedicated to: Opportunity Employment, seeking talent from underserved or underrepresented groups and working to lower barriers to employment. Uplifting livelihoods by strengthening local economies through local hiring, sourcing and partnerships. Education, investing in our collective future by empowering people through education and upskilling. Rosewood Mayakoba’s work with Centro Educativo K’iin Beh, a non-profit school in the Riviera Maya, Mexico. Through all Rosewood Empowers programs and initiatives, Rosewood's A Sense of Place® philosophy ensures that the brand's efforts speak to and support the communities and environments where each property sits. An exemplary case study is Rosewood Mayakoba's work with Centro Educativo K'iin Beh, a non-profit school in the Riviera Maya, Mexico. With a mission to support not only the hotel employees who needed adequate schooling for their children but the larger community, the resort's leaders raised resources required to reopen the school in 2017, after a number of challenges threatened its ongoing operations and forced it to temporarily shut its doors. Today, the school welcomes over 400 students, all of whom receive economic support for tuition and supplies through Rosewood Mayakoba's scholarship program. The resort brings guests into the impact journey through fundraising and a special volunteer and donation program, "Padrino," that ensures the continued development of the students. In Fall 2022, guests' donations contributed to the development and launch of the center's new High School, allowing local youth to continue their education. In Asia, Rosewood Hong Kong's commitment to the local community is further realized through the BluHouse, Rosewood Hotel Group's first restaurant inspired by the concept of a business-with-purpose. BluHouse is committed to co-creating neighborhood resilience through donations, employment, and impactful experiences in support of underserved groups in Hong Kong. The restaurant has pledged 1% of revenue towards this mission, and leverages the group's Opportunity Employment program to partner with NGOs to offer employment to refugees and ethnic minorities and close the opportunity gap. The groupwide Opportunity Employment program is building a new pipeline of talent from underserved groups not just in Hong Kong, but across its global portfolio in 20 countries. Properties from London and Vienna to Sao Paulo and Phuket are reaching out to the most overlooked groups in their neighborhoods, including minorities, people with disabilities refugees and others, and hiring from them. A newly launched program, Rosewood Bridges, is about connecting young people from disadvantaged backgrounds with internships at the group's hotels. Starting with sending vocational students from the Hong Kong Vocational Training Council abroad for internships—an opportunity not typically available in vocational education—to partnering with local NGOs to give young people with autism a chance of a career at Rosewood Beijing or Guangzhou, the group is acting on its commitment to be a truly inclusive company. Rosewood Sustains Rosewood Sustains showcases a commitment to growing Rosewood's lifestyle ecosystem responsibly and protecting the environment for future generations. From pursuing carbon neutrality, to engaging in regenerative practices, to driving the evolution of circular hospitality and eventually eliminating waste, the Group has set significant targets for environmental sustainability. These include: Diverting 70% of waste away from landfills and incinerators by 2025. Reducing energy use and water consumption by 25% by 2025. Eliminating single-use plastics across the portfolio as soon as possible. Achieving 50% carbon-neutral status by 2035 and complete carbon-neutral status by 2050. An indisputable environmental steward, Rosewood São Paulo is the centerpoint of the Cidade Matarazzo Complex – the largest upcycling project of a century-old property in Brazil. An indisputable environmental steward, Rosewood São Paulo is the centerpoint of the Cidade Matarazzo Complex – the largest upcycling project of a century-old property in Brazil. Supported by a dedicated solar farm as well as collaborations with local government agencies, the hotel achieved its mission for 100% of its energy supply to be fully sustainable in early January 2023, less than a year after opening. This will amount to an estimated savings of 17.342 tons of CO2 emissions annually. Rosewood São Paulo also vows to run a waste management program where 100% of all solid and organic disposables will be recycled and reused, and the property houses a biodigester and glass crushing machine to minimize having to outsource these sustainable measures. In The Bahamas, a nation of islands with 95% of its territory underwater, Rosewood Baha Mar is preserving the pristine marine environment off Nassau's Cable Beach through its partnership with The Bahamas Reef Environment Educational Foundation (BREEF) and educating the next generation of Bahamians and visitors on how to protect coral reefs, which are critical both for ecosystem preservation and for supporting local livelihoods dependent on fishing. Guests are invited to take a hands-on approach through Rosewood's Citizen Science Program, where they can enjoy a snorkeling adventure with experienced ocean guides, with 100% of the proceeds going to BREEF. They can also adopt coral fragments to plant within the surrounding waters and volunteer for local beach clean-ups with the organization. At the forthcoming Kona Village, A Rosewood Resort, opening on the Big Island of Hawai'i this summer, the brand's principles of circular hospitality, operational sustainability, and environmental stewardship come together in a way that ensures both the health of the environment and the longevity of culture. A commitment to the environment is evident throughout the entire property, which has been designed for LEED Gold Certification and is powered by 100% solar energy, while an on-site cultural center provides both visitors and locals with perspective into the rich natural and cultural significance of the surroundings. Rosewood Sustains is being championed by the group's outstanding restaurants as well. Caruso's at Rosewood Miramar Beach has truly put sustainability at its core and been recognized for it through the award of a Green Michelin star. Helmed by Chef Massimo, who has built strong relationships with surrounding farms, the restaurant sources most of its ingredients from a 5–6-mile radius around the resort and is committed to giving all food waste to farmers to use as compost. Multiple properties including Rosewood Hong Kong, Rosewood Bermuda and Rosewood London have partnered with EcoSpirits, a low-carbon, low-waste spirits distributor, to champion circularity in the food and beverage space. "Both Rosewood Empowers and Rosewood Sustains have been designed to work in harmony together," Mehvesh Mumtaz Ahmed, Vice President of Social Impact for Rosewood Hotel Group, explains. "We are committed to doing business in a way that drives the hospitality industry's evolution towards circularity and environmental conservation while simultaneously uplifting all our communities." Expressing excitement about the group's ambitions, she adds, "our actions today have a direct impact on the long-term viability of the planet. Being part of a company that's making it clear that our efforts can no longer be secondary but must sit at the forefront of everything we do gives my hope for our collective future." Rosewood Impacts represents the overall principle that true impact is the most powerful when the social and environmental are considered holistically. Through this framework, the brand is able to measure its success and continue to set ambitious benchmarks. Rosewood is proud of the advancements the entire group has made towards the Rosewood Impacts mission, but recognizes that more must be done, and is evolving every part of the business and operational strategies with this in mind. With Rosewood Impacts at the leading edge, Rosewood Hotel Group looks to the future with optimism.

香港2023年6月21日 /美通社/ -- 以創建人類和環境互生共贏的未來為使命，瑰麗酒店集團新近宣布「瑰麗一心」(Rosewood Impact)計劃及集團發展路徑，旨在為全球社區和我們的星球家園傳遞積極影響。通過更深入的承諾，在品牌整個生態系統中為人們賦能，並以可持續發展方式將循環酒店作為業務運營的核心「瑰麗一心」既是對集團現運行項目的認可，也是未來繼續努力的戰略路徑。憑借在可持續發展、就業、伙伴合作等領域的具體目標，這一詳盡周全的發展路徑將為「瑰麗同行」(Rosewood Empowers)和「瑰麗綠延」 (Rosewood Sustains)兩大獨特支柱下的相應政策和規劃提供支持。 瑰麗酒店集團新近宣布「瑰麗一心」(Rosewood Impact)計劃及集團發展路徑，旨在為全球社區和我們的星球家園傳遞積極影響。 「在瑰麗酒店集團，我們的承諾深植於我們所處的每寸土地。『瑰麗一心』的意義不僅在於支持我們所作的出色努力，更為積極的影響設立了全新標杆，從而推動我們邁向一個更公平、更具可續性的未來。」瑰麗酒店集團首席行政總裁鄭志雯說。「對於集團在過去40多年運營中取得的成就，我們深感驕傲，也更堅信我們必須做的更多。」 瑰麗同行 「瑰麗同行」體現了集團的信念，即平等獲取機會是振興社區的關鍵。為此，瑰麗致力於： 機會就業，從受服務不足或代表性不足的群體中尋找人才，並努力降低就業障礙。 通過當地招聘、採購和伙伴合作來加強當地經濟，從而改善生計。 教育，通過教育和提升技能為人們賦能，投資於我們共同的未來。 瑞維拉瑰麗酒店與墨西哥瑪雅河非營利學校K’iin Beh的合作項目 瑰麗A Sense of Place®品牌理念貫穿於所有的「瑰麗同行」項目和舉措，確保品牌所作的努力代表並支持每間瑰麗酒店所處社區與環境。以為有需求的酒店員工子女及所在社區提供充分的學校教育為使命，瑞維拉瑰麗酒店與墨西哥瑪雅河非營利學校K'iin Beh的合作即是一項典型案例。在該學校因遭受眾多挑戰而威脅到日常運營並被迫暫時關閉后，酒店的領導團隊籌集到所需資源，使學校得以於2017年重新開放。如今，該校擁有400多名學生，並都通過瑞維拉瑰麗酒店設立的獎學金計劃獲得了學費和學習用品的經濟支持。酒店同時也通過籌款和「Padrino」這項特殊的志願者及捐贈計劃，帶領賓客一同投入公益，以確保學生的持續發展。2022年秋，來自賓客的捐贈投入到了該中心新高中的開發和啟用，數百位當地年輕人由此能繼續接受教育。 在亞洲，香港瑰麗酒店對當地社區的承諾通過BluHouse進一步體現。BluHouse是瑰麗酒店集團第一間以善心營運為理念打造的餐廳。BluHouse致力於通過捐贈、就業和有影響力的體驗，共同引領社區復蘇，從而為香港的受服務不足群體提供支持。餐廳將收入的1% 用於支持該使命，利用集團的機會就業項目與非政府組織合作，為難民和少數族裔群體提供就業，縮小機會差距。 集團范圍的機會就業項目正在建立一條來自受服務不足群體的全新人才通道，他們不僅來自於香港，更來自20個國家的全球瑰麗酒店。從倫敦、維也納、聖保羅到普吉島，當地的瑰麗酒店深入接觸各自社區最受忽視的群體，包括少數族裔人士、殘障人士和難民等，並從中聘用。新近啟動的Rosewood Bridges項目旨在為具有弱勢背景的年輕人與集團酒店的實習計劃牽線搭橋。從為香港職訓局的專業學生提供海外實習機會（職業教育中非常罕見的機會），到與當地非政府組織合作，為自閉症青年提供北京或廣州瑰麗酒店的就業機會等，瑰麗集團正堅守承諾，成為一個真正包容的公司。 瑰麗綠延 「瑰麗綠延」體現了瑰麗盡責發展瑰麗生態系統和為未來世代保護環境的承諾。從追求碳中和、從事再生實踐、推動循環酒店發展，到最終消除浪費，集團為環境可持續性設定了重要目標。這些目標包括： 至 2025 年，減少70% 垃圾填埋場和焚化廢物。 至2025年，減少25% 能源和水資源消耗。 集團旗下的所有物業盡早停止使用一次性塑料。 至2035年，實現50% 碳中和狀態；至2050年，完成碳中和狀態。 聖保羅瑰麗酒店是無可爭議的環境衛士 聖保羅瑰麗酒店是無可爭議的環境衛士，它是具有百年歷史的Cidade Matarazzo綜合體的中心，該中心是巴西最大的改造項目。在專用太陽能發電廠支持和與當地政府機構的合作下，酒店於2023年1月初，即開業后不到一年的時間內，實現了100%能源供給完全可持續的目標。以此估計，將減少每年17.342噸的二氧化碳排放。聖保羅瑰麗酒店同時許諾施行一項廢棄物管理計劃，對所有固體和有機廢棄物進行100%的回收和再利用。酒店還設有有機分解機和玻璃粉碎機，降低了外包這些可持續性措施的需求。 在巴哈馬這個95%的領土位於水下的島嶼國家，瑰麗酒店正與巴哈馬珊瑚礁保護教育基金會（BREEF）合作，保護拿騷卡布勒海灘附近的原始海洋環境，並詳盡指導下一代巴哈馬民眾及游客保護珊瑚礁，這對支持生態系統及當地賴以生計的捕魚業至關重要。酒店賓客可通過瑰麗公民科學項目，在經驗豐富的海洋向導陪同下親身體驗浮潛探索。所有的收益將100%捐贈給BREEF基金會。賓客也可以將珊瑚碎片種植於附近水域，並志願參與該組織的清理當地海灘活動。 即將於今夏在夏威夷大島開業的科納鎮瑰麗度假酒店將循環酒店、可持續運營和環境管理的品牌原則結合一體，確保環境的健康和文化的長久發展。從按LEED金牌認証標准打造的酒店設計、100%太陽能供能，到引導賓客和當地民眾深入觀察周邊豐富自然和文化特色的現場文化中心，整個酒店處處彰顯著對環境的承諾。 「瑰麗綠延」在瑰麗集團出色的餐廳也得以體現。蒙特西托瑰麗酒店的Caruso's餐廳將可持續性置於核心，並獲得綠色米其林星的認可。廚師長Massimo 與酒店附近的農場建立了緊密關系，餐廳的大部分食材均選自酒店周邊五至六英裡范圍，酒店亦承諾將所有的餐余垃圾給予農民用於堆肥。包括香港瑰麗酒店、百慕大瑰麗酒店和倫敦瑰麗酒店在內的眾多酒店，已與低碳低浪費酒類分銷商EcoSpirits合作，倡導在餐飲場所實現循環再利用。 「瑰麗同行和瑰麗綠延的相互和諧共生是我們設計的初衷。」瑰麗酒店集團社會公益副總裁Mehvesh Mumtaz Ahmed解釋。「我們致力於推進酒店業向循環和環境保護的方向發展，並以此為開展業務的方式，同時振興我們的社區。」在闡述集團雄偉目標時，她激動地表示﹕「我們今天的行為將對地球長遠的生存力產生直接的影響。這是瑰麗的堅實承諾，並已成為我們一切行為的先決因素，對人類共同的未來，它賦予了我們無限希望。」 「瑰麗一心」代表了總體原則。隻有當我們從整體考慮社會和環境影響時，真正的影響才是最強有力的。通過這一框架，我們的品牌將能衡量自己的功績並繼續設定雄心勃勃的目標。就實現「瑰麗一心」使命所取得的成就，瑰麗集團倍感驕傲，但也深知必須負重前行，並謹記將其融入業務和運營戰略決策的每一部分。 以「瑰麗一心」矗立前沿，瑰麗酒店集團繼續秉持樂觀信念展望美好未來。 瑰麗酒店集團簡介 瑰麗酒店集團是一家私人企業，為領先全球的生活方式和酒店管理公司之一。旗下品牌有啟迪靈感的瑰麗酒店；豪華高端的新世界酒店及度假村；生活方式品牌芊麗酒店；綜合康體概念Asaya及摩登現代的Carlyle & Co. 私人會所。集團共擁有44間酒店，遍布20個國家，另有約30個新酒店項目正在開發建設中。 了解更多資料：rosewoodhotelgroup.com
ADERA Global, Beyon Connect and Cumulo9 to invest S$4 million in Singapore-based startup, ONEVIEW ONEVIEW is set to transform the way billing organizations interact, deliver documents, and provide exceptional customer service OneView's cutting-edge digital postbox platform launched at the end of the year, will enable users to access all their important documents such as statements, receipts, important documents, in a single secure app This digital postbox will first be launched in Singapore, and will act as a testbed and benchmark for Southeast Asia SINGAPORE, June 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Singapore-based start-up, OneView Pte Ltd ("ONEVIEW"), secured S$4 million in seed funding from ADERA Global, Beyon Connect, part of the Beyon Group, and Cumulo9 to transform the digital payments and communication landscape across Southeast Asia. ONEVIEW's innovative platform aims to revolutionise bill payments, simplifying everyday digital communications with a more convenient, sustainable, and spam-free experience. The digital post-box application is scheduled to be launched by the end of the year in Singapore, enabling users to easily access their documents and communications from multiple billers and senders within a single app. Using Singapore as a testbed for the Southeast Asian region, ONEVIEW aims to set the benchmark for a digital post-box that will greatly improve people's lives. Lead Investors in the Seed Funding Round ADERA Global, headquartered in Singapore, is a leader in data security and automation, serving global banks, telecommunications and government agencies around the world. Beyon Connect, part of the Beyon group based in Bahrain, is a provider of new technologies, and advanced IT solutions for both the public and private sectors in the MENA region. New Zealand-based Cumulo9 provides business services for the digital delivery of transactional documents throughout APAC. Accelerating Digitalisation and Singapore's Smart Nation Vision Traditionally, billers have relied on physical mail and emails to communicate with their customers. However, these methods are often slow, inefficient, and lack the personalisation and convenience that customers now expect. With this, billers can receive more insights such as open rates on the documents that were sent, compared to physical mails. For end-users, imagine all your statements, appointments, e-receipts and important documents automatically archived and stored in a single, secured place where you can view, track, monitor and act on them. With features like personalised notifications for bill due dates and document updates, customers are empowered to stay on top of their finances and have better control over their billing processes. Aligned with Singapore's vision to become a smart nation, ONEVIEW aims to enable effective and secure communications between government, agencies, business enterprises and individuals in Singapore. The platform is designed to simplify secure document transmission and management, thereby encouraging greater digitization. Offering unparalleled customer experience and enhancing sustainability ONEVIEW's digital postbox platform simplifies the bill payment process for both billers and customers. By eliminating the need for customers to visit multiple websites or make manual transactions, it saves time and reduces the likelihood of errors. By providing a frictionless bill payment experience, billers can improve cash flow and reduce payment delays. ONEVIEW is committed to going green and minimizing paper waste, aligning with Singapore's environmental initiatives. By providing documents such as digital billing statements, notices as well as easy payment options, more consumers will make the switch to paperless billing. With this digital postal solution, ONEVIEW will reduce the need for paper bills, contributing to the global sustainability agenda. "We are excited to introduce this cutting edge digital postbox solution to the billing industry," said LEE Kok How, CEO of ONEVIEW. "Our platform is designed to empower billers with advanced digital communication capabilities and elevate the customer experience. With OneView, billers can not only streamline their processes and reduce costs but also build stronger relationships with their customers." "We believe that ONEVIEW has the potential to set a benchmark in the region and transform the way people manage their bills and documents." said ADERA Global's Executive Director Marvin Tan. ONEVIEW's digital postbox solution is suitable for a wide range of billers, including banks, telcos, utilities, insurance companies, healthcare groups, town councils, hospitality providers and government entities. By adopting this solution, billers can stay ahead of the competition, offer unparalleled customer experience, and meet the evolving expectations of their tech-savvy customers.

TOKYO, June 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Jadeite Medicines Inc., (Jadeite Medicines) a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company headquartered in Tokyo, Japan (President & CEO, Eiichi Takahashi) has received Orphan Drug Designation for odevixibat for the expected indication of PFIC from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) of Japan. Jadeite Medicines has also announced initiation of a phase 3 trial in PFIC for patients in Japan. PFIC is a rare and devastating disorder affecting young children with no approved treatment in Japan. This Phase 3 trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of an oral dosage of odevixibat in Japanese PFIC patients. Odevixibat is marketed by Ipsen Pharma (Ipsen) in the United States for the treatment of pruritus in all subtypes of PFIC and in Europe for the treatment of all subtypes of PFIC. Through the development of odevixibat, Jadeite Medicines aspires to contribute to the treatment of patients suffering from PFIC. Jadeite Medicines commits to the health and quality of life for patients through our relentless R&D in drug development in order to fulfill patient unmet needs. Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC) PFIC is a spectrum[1-4] of autosomal recessive genetic disorders in which cholestasis may lead to end-stage liver disease.[5] The estimated global incidence of PFIC is 1 in 100,000 live births.[5] Currently in the U.S., it is estimated that there are 500 PFIC patients who may be eligible for IBATi treatment. Subtypes PFIC1, PFIC2 and PFIC3 are the most common.[5] In addition, other rare forms of PFIC exist with varying degrees of cholestasis.[6] Patients with PFIC have impaired bile flow, or cholestasis, and the resulting bile build-up in liver cells causes liver disease and symptoms. The most debilitating symptom of PFIC is pruritus (itching), which may be so severe that it leads to skin mutilation, loss of sleep, irritability, poor attention and impaired school performance.[4] Up to 80% of PFIC patients suffer from severe pruritus, associated with abrasions, skin mutilation, hemorrhage or scarring.[7] PFIC is designated as an intractable disease (designation number 338) by the MHLW in Japan. In Japan, an estimated 100 patients suffer from PFIC. Currently there are no treatments except for symptomatic treatments in Japan and without conservative treatment patients will require surgical options including liver transplantation.
