Utilization of Sustainability Information Disclosure StandardsThe ESG Databook 2024 was composed with reference to the four components of the ISSB and SSBJ drafts of Sustainability Information Disclosure Standards: "Governance," "Strategy," "Risk Management (including NEC’s unique opportunity creation)," and "Indicators and Goals." In addition to examining the gap between disclosure standards and actual initiatives, the Databook will also be used as a tool for dialogue with investors and research institutions that utilize it.2. Initiatives to reduce capital costs by promoting businesses that contribute to carbon neutrality and by addressing environmental risksIn response to the growing interest in decarbonization among customers and society, NEC is introducing a variety of environmental solutions, including its Sustainability Transformation (SX) consulting services, which support the formulation of strategies and roadmaps toward carbon neutrality and nature positivity. Specifically, in response to the intensification of natural disasters caused by climate change, the Japan Consortium for Adaptation Finance was established with Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Company, Limited in order to expand the market for "Adaptation Finance," which promotes the procurement of funds by visualizing the effects of adaptation measures using digital technologies.

Photo Credit: Daniel Topic “Concerto for Peace” is an innovative global initiative led by pianist, composer, and humanitarian Omar Harfouch. With a series of planned performances in major cities worldwide, the initiative is set to inspire collective harmony by uniting people from different cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives. The project, starting with a highly anticipated debut performance on September 18, 2024, at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris, France, aims to bring the universal language of music to the front page of global conversations about peace. Accompanied by the Béziers Méditerranée Symphony Orchestra and maestro Matthieu Bonnin, “Concerto for Peace” intends to call people to action, to stand up in their own ways to spark change for conflict-torn communities across the globe. A Masterpiece for Peace: Striking the Right Chord in a Divided World “Concerto for Peace” brings together musicians from diverse countries and communities to promote understanding through shared artistic expression. “The way I see it, music has the power to connect people in ways words often cannot,” says Harfouch. “Our goal is to use the power of music to create a platform for dialogue, reconciliation, and healing.” Apart from being the name of the peace initiative, “Concerto for Peace”, is also the title of Harfouch’s 17-minute composition, a collaboration with the equally prestigious musician, Houtaf Khoury. The timeless piece combines classical and contemporary elements. The magnum opus for peace will be performed alongside his other world-renowned compositions, such as “Save One Life, Save All Humanity” and “La Fantaisie Orientale”. The launch of “Concerto for Peace” comes at a time when multiple parts of the world are combating significant social, political, and environmental challenges. Harfouch and his team hope to address these issues by creating shared experiences that cut across ideological, religious, and national boundaries. Harfouch notes, “Through this initiative, we want to spark conversations that lead to meaningful change, delivering a global movement that celebrates our shared humanity.” With high hopes for the future, Harfouch’s ultimate vision is to make “Concerto for Peace” a global movement that showcases the beauty of music while contributing to long-term efforts toward conflict resolution and intercultural dialogue. “It is going to take a lot more than music to change the world, but it can definitely be a catalyst for people to join the movement for peace,” Omar Harfouch concludes. “Our goal is to create an enduring legacy, where music serves as a constant reminder of our shared humanity and the power of collaboration.” Further performances are scheduled for the Vatican, Italian parliament, Shanghai, and the headquarters of the United Nations in Geneva.

JPMorgan 股价因高管言论下跌
(SeaPRwire) - JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) 的股价在该公司联席总裁兼首席运营官丹尼尔·平托发表讲话后出现下跌。平托谈到了利率上升可能对银行盈利能力造成的影响。平托表示，虽然利率上升通常通过扩大借贷利率与存款利率之间的差额而使银行受益，但存在一个阈值，超过该阈值，由于贷款需求下降和违约增加，这种收益会减少。 平托强调，当前的经济环境，其特点是通货膨胀压力和美联储可能加息，这对金融机构来说是一个复杂的挑战。他指出，JPMorgan 正在密切关注这种情况，并相应地调整其策略。该银行的目标是在利用更高利率的同时，减轻相关的风险。 此外，平托还强调了保持多元化投资组合以抵御特定行业潜在下滑的重要性。他提到，JPMorgan 广泛的网络和多样化的服务在应对不确定的经济环境方面具有显著优势。 尽管股价近期下跌，但分析师对 JPMorgan 的长期前景仍然持乐观态度。许多人认为，该银行强大的资本实力和战略举措将使其能够渡过短期挑战，并继续为股东创造价值。但是，他们警告说，未来的道路需要谨慎的管理，并对不断变化的市场条件做出灵活的应对。 在更广泛的背景下，金融市场一直在动荡，原因是对通货膨胀以及全球央行可能采取更激进的货币政策立场感到担忧。投资者尤其关注像 JPMorgan 这样的主要金融机构将如何适应这些变化，以及这对他们的盈利能力和增长前景意味着什么。 总的来说，这种情况突出了银行在利率波动和经济不确定的环境中必须保持的微妙平衡。随着 JPMorgan 和其他金融巨头应对这些挑战，他们的表现和战略决策将受到投资者和分析师的密切关注。 脚注： 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。 平托谈到了利率上升可能对银行盈利能力造成的影响。 平托还强调了保持多元化投资组合以抵御特定行业潜在下滑的重要性。

(SeaPRwire) - 全球领先的害虫防治服务提供商Rentokil Initial最近经历了股价大幅下跌。此次下跌发生在知名激进投资者尼尔森·佩尔茨采取战略行动之后。佩尔茨的投资公司Trian Fund Management对其在Rentokil的策略进行了显著调整，导致该公司股价大幅下跌。 Rentokil股价的突然暴跌引发了投资者和分析师对该公司未来方向的担忧。佩尔茨以其激进的投资策略和对公司重组的要求而闻名，他一直以来都对公司的运营策略产生重大影响。他参与Rentokil可能预示着即将到来的变化，这些变化可能与短期投资者的预期不符。 佩尔茨的Trian Fund Management已收购了Rentokil的巨额股份，旨在推动战略性变革，以提高股东价值。然而，这些变化通常伴随着股价的初始波动，因为市场适应新的方向。投资者对佩尔茨影响下可能出现的重大重组或资产出售持谨慎态度。 Rentokil的管理层向利益相关者保证，公司将继续致力于其长期增长战略。他们强调，任何战略性变革都将以公司和股东的最佳利益为重。尽管有此保证，但股市的反应凸显了激进投资者干预所带来的不确定性。 历史上，佩尔茨参与的公司取得了喜忧参半的结果。虽然一些公司从他的战略洞察力和重组计划中受益，但其他公司在过渡期内面临挑战。市场分析师密切关注Rentokil的情况，他们热切地想看看该公司在佩尔茨影响下的战略如何发展。 Rentokil Initial (NYSE:RTO)一直是害虫防治行业的主导力量，在全球各个地区都有强大的影响力。该公司广泛的服务组合和强大的运营框架使其在市场中处于领先地位。然而，当前的市场波动表明，投资者对佩尔茨的战略举措将如何影响公司的运营效率和市场地位持不确定态度。 佩尔茨参与Rentokil的更广泛影响可能超出短期股价波动的范围。如果成功，他的战略可能会导致运营效率提高，利润率提高以及长期股东价值增加。相反，如果市场认为这些变化具有破坏性或与Rentokil的核心优势不符，该公司可能会面临持续的动荡时期。 总之，尼尔森·佩尔茨战略性行动后Rentokil股价下跌突出了激进投资者干预所带来的复杂性和不确定性。随着Rentokil度过这一过渡阶段，利益相关者将密切关注该公司的战略决策和市场表现。佩尔茨参与的最终影响将取决于Rentokil如何有效地平衡短期市场反应和长期增长目标。 脚注： 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。 Trian的战略调整后，Rentokil的股价大幅下跌。

国际媒体关注特朗普与哈里斯辩论，称之为“激烈辩论”
(SeaPRwire) - 不仅是美国人，在周二晚上，前总统唐纳德·特朗普与 进行首次对决的美国总统大选辩论，全世界都在关注。11月选举的结果预计将对美国外交政策产生深远影响，自拜登总统今年7月退出竞选后，国际社会一直在密切关注。国际媒体对周二晚上辩论的反应与特朗普第一次辩论形成了鲜明的对比，第一次辩论主要集中在围绕拜登认知能力的担忧。然而，这一次，特朗普的表现成为了他们的攻击目标。英国媒体，以其党派之分而闻名，反映了对特朗普在 压力下表现的批评性评价，她被认为成功地做到了特朗普许多反对者都无法做到的事情——她让他感到慌乱。三篇倾向于右派的《每日电讯报》关于辩论的主要报道暗示哈里斯更胜一筹，其中一篇标题是“哈里斯在火爆的对决中让特朗普处于被动”，另一篇报道将特朗普的表现描述为“愤怒”和“语无伦次”。在分析辩论的获胜者时， 认为哈里斯“让[特朗普]看起来很可笑”。“很难说哈里斯是这场政治辩论的胜利者，因为她对自己平台的阐述很少。但她的攻击策略让她赢得了这场辩论。特朗普中招了：他完全被套住了，”报道补充说。《泰晤士报》，通常被认为是一家倾向于保守派的报纸，报道说特朗普在辩论中“挣扎”，另一篇报道批评说他“迎合”了他的基础，而不是去争取中间选民，此前他们声称他在俄亥俄州斯普林菲尔德说移民“吃掉了”居民的宠物。《泰晤士报》首页上的第三篇报道写道，“哈里斯表现强劲，在泰勒·斯威夫特支持后更上一层楼”。《太阳报》对这场辩论的评价更加分化，一篇报道声称特朗普“猛烈抨击哈里斯”，而 则称特朗普的辩论谈话要点是“胡说八道”，并重点关注他“对‘移民吃掉宠物’的崩溃”。法国媒体将胜利判给了哈里斯， ，法国最顶尖的出版物，以“哈里斯进攻，在辩论中战胜特朗普”的标题开始报道。总部位于巴黎的《快报》，被描述为中右翼杂志，在其题为“‘卡玛拉·哈里斯开始攻击特朗普’——外媒眼中的辩论”的报道中也认为特朗普周二晚上处于被动。德国公共资助的新闻机构德国之声的领先报道标题是“哈里斯在火爆的辩论中让特朗普处于被动”，并声称民调显示哈里斯“险胜”特朗普。尽管该报道还指出，辩论不太可能对美国选民产生影响——这也是美国媒体报道中普遍表达的一种观点。俄罗斯国有媒体塔斯社在其首页上没有提及美国辩论。虽然国营新闻机构俄罗斯卫星通讯社对辩论进行了轻微报道，其中一篇报道的标题是“特朗普完了”。第二篇报道指出了德国外交部对特朗普在结束语中批评柏林推动清洁能源的评论所作出的回应。 由该部发布在X上的帖子写道：“不管你喜欢与否：德国的能源系统运作良好，超过50%来自可再生能源。我们正在关闭——而不是建设——燃煤和核电站。最迟到2038年，煤炭将从电网中消失。“PS：我们也不吃猫狗，”该部在明显针对特朗普先前辩论评论时补充道。在乌克兰——由于特朗普之前曾表示，如果今年11月当选，他将不会继续在军事上支持基辅，因此乌克兰对2024年大选的结果非常关注——报道的重点是特朗普和哈里斯之间的激烈交锋。《基辅独立报》 他表示，如果今年11月当选，他将在就任总统之前就“解决”这场战争——尽管他拒绝详细说明将如何做到这一点。该报道没有指出谁赢谁输，但它指出两人在俄罗斯入侵问题上发生了激烈的冲突，并强调特朗普拒绝说明他是否希望乌克兰获胜。以色列出版物似乎对辩论的报道更多，尽管两位候选人很少讨论以色列和哈马斯之间的战争，哈里斯被广泛认为是领跑者。一家 ，一家倾向于右派的媒体，称哈里斯“流露出自信和掌控力”，并指责特朗普表现得“以自我为中心而不是以选民为中心”。该报道称，没有明显的“获胜者”，但补充说辩论“是一场真正的修辞拳击赛，哈里斯成功地利用了特朗普的弱点，将他打得措手不及”。《耶路撒冷邮报》，也被认为在其报道中具有保守倾向，将辩论描述为“可预测的”，但指出特朗普“末日预言”，即在哈里斯总统任期内以色列将不复存在，是一个“无稽之谈”，并且“奇怪地剥夺了犹太国家的任何生存能力”。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
德国东部部分桥梁坍塌导致交通严重中断
(SeaPRwire) - 官员正在调查周三早些时候一座混凝土桥梁部分坍塌的原因，该事件扰乱了德累斯顿的一条主要交通干线，并中断了这座因其巴洛克式建筑而被称为“易北河畔佛罗伦萨”的城市的供暖系统。德累斯顿消防部门在其网站上表示，卡罗拉桥的一段倒塌到易北河中，没有人员伤亡。德国新闻社dpa称，此次坍塌被视为一起事故，因为没有迹象表明有人为因素。dpa报道称，这座桥可以追溯到东德前共产主义时代，现场官员表示，当时氯腐蚀可能是造成周三坍塌的原因。整座桥梁的紧急关闭给该市的电车系统以及使用这座桥在德累斯顿老城和新城之间往返的驾车者、行人和骑车者带来了交通混乱。船舶交通也已停止，影响了货船和旅游观光船。救援人员在凌晨 3 点左右接到报警，他们担心这座桥（在易北河上的几座桥梁之一）的更多部分可能在接下来的几个小时内坍塌。dpa报道称，最后一辆电车在坍塌发生前 18 分钟通过了这座桥。坍塌的桥段原计划于明年翻新，而其他部分在经过数月的建设后于 3 月重新开放。城市供暖系统的一部分管道也受损。“此外，由于两条大型区域供热管道爆裂，整个德累斯顿州府城市都出现了热水供应完全停止的问题，”消防部门发言人迈克尔·克拉赫雷对记者说。德累斯顿位于柏林以南约 100 英里。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
“Ashes of the Kingdom” Breaks Barriers to Captivate the World: Chinese Female-Oriented Games Showcase Global Impact
SINGAPORE, Sept 11, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – Recently, a Chinese female-oriented game, Ashes of the Kingdom, has been making waves across East Asia. With its exceptional artwork and unique storyline, it is overcoming language barriers and winning the hearts of players across East Asia and even globally. At the AFA Anime Festival in Singapore, one particular character caught the attention of attendees – the striking and charismatic Sun Ce from Ashes of the Kingdom. This character has become a favorite among cosplay enthusiasts this year. After one Japanese cosplayer impersonated Sun Ce, a user commented, “He looks powerful and cool, I really like him.” Not only Sun Ce, but another character, Liu Bian, has also garnered much admiration. In a video featuring Liu Bian’s monologue, fans fervently discussed the plot, demanding faster localization translations. One even remarked, “I need to learn Chinese just to play this game.” Ashes of the Kingdom, developed by Ling Xi Games and published by Qookka Games, was launched in 2023. It quickly rose to the top of the free game charts in Hong Kong and Macao and became one of the top downloads in several Southeast Asian countries. It was also shortlisted for Google’s Best Storyline Game of the Year, marking a new highlight for China’s cultural export efforts. So, what makes this game so captivating? First and foremost, its outstanding quality. Ashes of the Kingdom is a card-based narrative game with a female-centered storyline and rich Eastern aesthetics. It utilizes high-precision Live2D technology and cinematic camera work to create an immersive narrative experience for players. The game is set in a chaotic era, where the player assumes the role of the cross-dressing Prince of Guangling, who also leads the intelligence organization, Xiu Yi Lou. Players uncover hidden secrets beneath gentle appearances and experience intense emotional confrontations between equals. In China, several media outlets have praised the game as “irreplaceable,” recognizing its uniqueness. The allure of Ashes of the Kingdom extends beyond its stunning visuals and engaging plot to its rich infusion of Chinese culture. The game’s scenes, props, and music are steeped in Han cultural elements, sparking players’ curiosity. On TikTok, a Vietnamese player translated the eyebrow-painting scene featuring Yuan Ji, garnering over ten thousand likes. The comment section buzzed with excitement, with viewers sharing that in Chinese culture, painting eyebrows is a way of expressing love. The Han-style music in the game has also left Vietnamese players in awe. Beyond Southeast Asia, Ashes of the Kingdom seems to be spreading its influence worldwide. In the U.S., one player voluntarily translated the game into English, aiming to share the captivating plot with a wider audience. In London, players dressed in Ashes of the Kingdom cosplay were spotted at landmarks like Big Ben and Trafalgar Square, drawing admiring glances from passersby. The game’s influence has transcended the virtual world and entered the physical market. According to data from Taobao’s overseas platform, Ashes of the Kingdom merchandise has been sold in over 120 countries and regions, particularly thriving in Asian markets. Consumers from Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, and Thailand have shown a special preference for products such as apparel and stationery, reflecting the game’s IP influence far beyond the game itself. In recent years, many Chinese games, like Genshin Impact and Black Myth: Wukong, have captured the attention of global players. These games are striving to become ambassadors of Chinese culture, showcasing the modern allure of an ancient civilization. The new trend sparked by Ashes of the Kingdom further demonstrates the growing strength of China’s gaming industry. Ashes of the Kingdom’s journey is far from over, and its legend is only just beginning. Website: https://www.qookkagames.global
苏格兰考古发掘中的志愿者发现“非凡”珠宝
(SeaPRwire) - 在苏格兰堡垒堡的挖掘过程中，一名志愿者花了几个星期挖掘，却一无所获。在经过30天的搜索后，约翰·拉尔夫在现场改变了这一切。"这是我这个赛季的第五次挖掘。我已经挖了30多天，几乎没有发现什么有趣的东西，"拉尔夫在邮件中告诉 Digital。当他最终找到了一些东西时，拉尔夫形容他的情绪是"解脱、难以置信和快乐"的混合。"当我发现我找到了什么后，我感到幸运和荣幸能找到如此重要的东西，"拉尔夫说。拉尔夫的发现原来是一个古老的皮克特人戒指，根据阿伯丁大学9月4日发布的一份新闻稿，这个戒指已经在这个地方保存了一千多年，无人触碰。这个戒指形状类似于风筝，中心有一个红色的细节。根据大英百科全书，皮克特人是一个古代民族，居住在现在的苏格兰东部和东北部。根据阿伯丁大学的说法，他们的历史大部分是未知的，关于他们存在留下的证据很少。戈登·诺贝尔教授在过去三年中领导了堡垒的挖掘工作。拉尔夫，一位前工程师，也是阿伯丁大学的毕业生，在 Facebook 上看到一则招募志愿者的帖子后，成为其中一次挖掘的志愿者。"我一直对考古学感兴趣，而且最近退休，从 COVID 中恢复过来，我一直在寻找一些有趣的事情做，"拉尔夫说。"我在 Facebook 上看到一个关于堡垒挖掘志愿者的呼吁，因为它是我成长的城镇，我姐姐也住在那里，我心想，‘为什么不呢？’"根据新闻稿，诺贝尔认为拉尔夫的发现"非常了不起"。"我们发现的皮克特人戒指非常少，而且我们所知道的那些通常来自宝藏，这些宝藏被故意放置在地下，以某种方式进行保管，"诺贝尔在新闻稿中说。"我们当然不希望在曾经是一所房子，但看起来意义不大，所以按照惯例，我们一直到挖掘的最后一天才对它进行工作，"诺贝尔说。现在，这个戒指由苏格兰国家博物馆的出土文物服务保管，他们正在进行研究，以了解更多关于这个古代发现的信息。"我们现在将研究戒指、建筑物和其他文物的证据，以考虑这个戒指是否是在现场制作的，以及这样一件重要的珠宝可能是为谁制作的，"诺贝尔在新闻稿中说。至于拉尔夫，他在担任考古挖掘志愿者的过程中学到了很多东西，包括进行这些发现的艰苦体力劳动，这并不像看起来那么容易。"考古学家轻轻地用铲子铲地的照片，可能会给人一种轻松的工作印象，但实际上，挖掘工作的一些方面可能非常辛苦，而且在身体上也很有挑战性，"拉尔夫告诉 Digital。"你还要注意地面图案、特征和文物的变化；所以这是一项在身体和精神上都很好的锻炼。"本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

Earlier this year, we launched the world's first multi-currency, tokenised green bond, part of our commitment to Hong Kong's rise as a green finance hub.”Dr Lam said: “Innovation and sustainability are key drivers of growth today. We will discuss how we can work more closely together to create a more innovative and greener Belt and Road. With its unique strengths and advantages, Hong Kong is ideally placed to foster collaboration. As the most international city in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and gateway to the vast Mainland China market, Hong Kong can facilitate many opportunities across Asia and beyond. ASEAN – our second-largest trading partner – will be a market highlight at this year’s Summit, following the recent mission we organised to Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam led by Hong Kong SAR Chief Executive John Lee.”In her remarks, Li Yongjie said: “Under the framework of The Mainland and Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA), the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) supports Hong Kong to enhance its status as an international financial, shipping and trading centre, and to play the role of a hub and platform in the Belt and Road Initiative. The MOFCOM will support Hong Kong in signing free trade agreements and investment protection agreements with more countries and regions, and to join Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership as soon as possible. The MOFCOM will also support mainland and Hong Kong enterprises to strengthen information exchange, deepen cooperation on Belt and Road projects, enhance Hong Kong's participation in the Belt and Road Initiative, and strengthen Hong Kong's status as an international trade centre.”H.E. Nguyen Hoa Binh said during his speech: “The global economy is experiencing significant transformations in its structure and growth model, requiring both governments and the business community to collaborate in promoting initiatives on economic cooperation and integration that support peace, cooperation and development at regional and global levels. I am confident that with the commitment and sound policies of our governments, along with the support and active engagement of the business community and by embracing a spirit of equality, openness and mutual benefit while upholding international law, the Belt and Road Initiative will continue to flourish.”Deepening multilateral cooperation for a win-win futureFollowing the successful outcomes of Chief Executive John Lee's ASEAN visit in July, organised by the HKTDC, the Summit aims to further deepen relations between Hong Kong and ASEAN as well as other emerging markets along the Belt and Road.The Policy Dialogue, hosted by Algernon Yau, Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development of the HKSAR, focused on Multilateral Cooperation for an Interconnected World.
