 Portable, Durable and Conveniently Adjustable, the Unique LG StanbyME Go Presents a Refreshingly New User Experience

 

 

LG Electronics (LG) announces the global rollout of its latest Lifestyle Screen, the unique LG StanbyME Go (model 27LX5).

gamma. enrichit son engagement pour l'Afrique et le Moyen-Orient en ajoutant des vétérans et des pionniers de l'industrie musicale

image0.jpg (1024×512)

Larry Gaaga est nommé vice-président et directeur général pour l'Afrique et Dany Neville devient vice-président de l'A&R pour le Moyen-Orient.

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)-- gamma., la plateforme multimédia qui donne la priorité aux artistes et fournit des services créatifs et commerciaux pour tous les formats artistiques et commerciaux, a annoncé aujourd'hui l'extension de son engagement en Afrique et au Moyen-Orient avec l'arrivée de deux pionniers de l'industrie musicale au sein de l'équipe de direction de la région.

Parmi les nominations, citons celle du légendaire auteur-compositeur et artiste nigérian Larry Gaaga au poste de vice-président / directeur général pour l'Afrique, et celle de Dany Neville , artiste et DJ arabe pionnier, au poste de vice-président de l'A&R pour le Moyen-Orient. Gaaga sera basé à Lagos et Neville à Dubaï.

Historiquement, les labels internationaux ont basé leurs opérations africaines uniquement en Afrique du Sud, le Nigéria ayant souvent une présence satellite. gamma. réécrit cette histoire en investissant ses ressources les plus importantes au Nigéria, reconnaissant sa position de premier pays en termes d'exportation mondiale de musique.

Ensemble, ces actions amplifient les fondations que gamma. et sa branche de distribution numérique Vydia ont construites dans la région, en augmentant les capacités et les ressources de l'entreprise et en garantissant un échange bilatéral de culture et d'opportunités pour les artistes du monde entier.

« La mission de gamma. est à la fois d'encourager les talents locaux d'Afrique et du Moyen-Orient à devenir des superstars mondiales et d'ouvrir le continent aux artistes occidentaux afin qu'ils puissent atteindre de nouveaux fans et de nouvelles opportunités », a déclaré Sipho Dlamini, président de gamma. pour l'Afrique et le Moyen-Orient. « Larry et Dany possèdent tous deux le bagage historique et l'aisance culturelle indispensables pour établir les relations et les ressources nécessaires à notre réussite ».

Dernièrement, Gaaga était vice-président de Def Jam Africa, où il dirigeait la division A&R du label. Dans ses nouvelles fonctions, M. Gaaga supervisera les opérations de gamma. sur l'ensemble du continent africain. Son leadership visionnaire et les conseils qu'il prodigue aux équipes du Nigeria et de l'Afrique du Sud favoriseront la croissance, le développement et le succès de l'entreprise dans toute la région.

« La vaste expérience de Larry et de Dany, leur profonde compréhension des paysages musicaux locaux et leur passion inébranlable pour l'épanouissement des talents sont les bienvenus dans la famille gamma. », a déclaré le cofondateur et PDG de gamma., Larry Jackson. « Ensemble, ils renforceront notre présence sur le marché et stimuleront une croissance significative en Afrique et au Moyen-Orient »

M. Gaaga s'attachera principalement à fournir une orientation stratégique pour une réussite à long terme, à stimuler la croissance du chiffre d'affaires et à étendre la portée du marché dans toute l'Afrique. Il sera le fer de lance des initiatives visant à développer les talents locaux et à assurer leur réussite, tant au niveau national que mondial, grâce à des collaborations et des partenariats avec l'ensemble du groupe.

Naomi Campbell, figure éminente de la communauté mondiale du divertissement et conseillère spéciale de gamma., a joué un rôle crucial dans la promotion du partenariat entre Gaaga et la société. « La brillance artistique ne connaît pas de limites », déclare Campbell. « La nomination de Larry illustre l'esprit de l'émancipation artistique. Je suis ravi d'avoir contribué à mettre ses talents de visionnaire au service de cette plateforme qui donne la priorité aux artistes ».

« Je suis honoré et enthousiaste à l'idée d'assumer le rôle de vice-président / directeur général pour l'Afrique », a déclaré M. Gaaga. « C'est une occasion unique de contribuer à la croissance de l'industrie du divertissement sur le continent, en promouvant les talents locaux et en présentant au monde entier l'incroyable créativité et la diversité de nos artistes ».

Dany Neville, artiste et DJ arabe pionnier, a rejoint gamma. en tant que vice-président de l'A&R pour le Moyen-Orient. Depuis le lancement de la première émission de radio urbaine de la région en 2000 jusqu'à la collaboration avec des artistes emblématiques tels que Snoop Dogg, T Pain, Kymani Marley, Kid Ink et DJ Snake, entre autres, son parcours a été jalonné d'étapes décisives. Dany a notamment participé aux MTV Music Awards, remporté des prix prestigieux tels que celui du meilleur DJ des Émirats arabes unis décerné par Time Out, et est devenu le premier DJ né aux Émirats arabes unis à jouer à Tomorrowland. Il est connu pour transcender les frontières et unir les cultures, laissant une marque indélébile sur la scène musicale mondiale.

« Il s'agit d'une occasion unique de présenter au monde entier le talent et la culture du Moyen-Orient », a déclaré M. Neville. « gamma. est une entreprise unique qui dispose des outils et des personnes nécessaires pour élever cette région à des niveaux encore plus élevés dans le monde de la musique et du divertissement ».

À propos de gamma. :

gamma., fondée par le PDG Larry Jackson et le président Ike Youssef, est une entreprise moderne de médias et de technologie créée pour révolutionner la façon dont les artistes créent, distribuent et monétisent leur contenu et leur marque. Le répertoire annoncé de gamma. comprend un accord à long terme avec l'icône du divertissement Snoop Dogg pour les droits exclusifs de commercialisation et de distribution du catalogue emblématique de Death Row Records, y compris la nouvelle musique de Snoop Dogg et de l'étoile montante du R&B, October London ; mega, une coentreprise avec la superstar multi-platine Usher et le pionnier de l'industrie L.A. Reid ; un partenariat mondial avec French Montana, trois fois nommé aux Grammy Awards et certifié Diamond ; la musique de la nouvelle reine du rap, Sexyy Red, grâce à un partenariat avec Open Shift ; et un nouveau projet multimédia de l'artiste / entrepreneur multi-platine Russ.

Naomi Campbell, a prominent figure in the global entertainment community and Special Advisor to gamma., played a crucial role in fostering the partnership between Gaaga and the company. “Artistic brilliance knows no bounds,” says Campbell. “Larry’s appointment exemplifies the spirit of artistic empowerment. I am thrilled to have played a part in bringing his visionary talents to this artist-first platform.”

“I am honored and excited to take on the role of Vice President/General Manager of Africa,” said Gaaga. “This presents a unique opportunity to contribute to the growth of the entertainment industry across the continent, promoting local talent and showcasing the incredible creativity and diversity of our artists to the world.”

Qarar and Biz2X Partner to Launch the First Cloud-Based SME Lending Platform in Saudi Arabia

 


 The Companies Invite Lenders to Join New Loan Platform and Empower Small Businesses with Improved Access to Financing

 

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Qarar, a wholly owned subsidiary of SIMAH and the Middle East’s prominent data analytics and credit decisioning company, and Biz2X, a global fintech technology and financing provider with an established presence in the USA, India and Australia and over $10 billion USD funded through its Biz2X®digital lending platform, today announced a strategic joint venture that aims to revolutionize the landscape of SME lending in Saudi Arabia.

The primary objective of the partnership agreement is to bridge the financing gap faced by SMEs. Qarar and Biz2X are creating the largest SME lending platform in Saudi Arabia with a streamlined digital experience that empowers SME borrowers and lenders to transact seamlessly. Lenders will also have the ability through the platform to create their own lending marketplaces, further enhancing their financial offerings to the SME sector. The companies invite lenders to contact them for early access to the platform.

The joint venture will be a major contributor to the Saudi Vision 2030 and is aligned to the Kingdom’s goal to significantly expand the SME sector to 22% of GDP, a substantial increase from its current contribution of 9% of GDP. Historically, up to 57% of SME financing requests were declined annually by commercial banks, which have been reluctant to issue loans to SMEs at scale.

Leveraging the award-winning Biz2X technology, the new platform will transform the SME lending process to fix this financing gap. Biz2X equips lenders with the necessary tools and resources to offer tailored and competitive SME loan solutions, resulting in faster and easier access to finance. The Qarar-Biz2X partnership enhances the overall efficiency of the SME lending market, benefiting both borrowers and lenders alike.

Zaid Kamhawi, CEO of Qarar, expressed his enthusiasm for the collaboration, stating, "We are excited to partner with Biz2X to support the development of the SME sector in Saudi Arabia. This partnership knits together our combined technical expertise, established international success, and on-the-ground market presence. Together, we are offering a powerful and proven platform that will help transform the SME lending market in Saudi Arabia. We applaud the Saudi Vision 2030 and are delighted to be contributing to the ambitious fintech initiatives throughout the Kingdom."

Rohit Arora, CEO of Biz2X, added, "Our partnership with Qarar reflects the financing expertise and advanced technology that the Biz2X® platform delivers. By bringing our technology and expertise to lenders in Saudi Arabia we are fulfilling our mission to make SME lending more accessible and efficient for businesses everywhere, fostering economic growth and prosperity."

The companies will showcase the Biz2X platform exclusively at Seamless Saudi Arabia in Riyadh from 4 – 5 September 2023. We invite lenders to visit the SIMAH stand S30 to experience the technology firsthand.

Lenovo Boosts Customer Sustainability with New Reduced Carbon Transport Service

 

 


New solution empowers enterprises to achieve sustainability goals through a lower-carbon emissions alternative to transport IT purchases

 

 

(BUSINESS WIRE)--To support carbon-conscious enterprise customers in their sustainability journeys, Lenovo is offering a Reduced Carbon Transport Service, a distinct offering that gives enterprises the option to lower their carbon impact when IT devices are air shipped. Through Reduced Carbon Transport Service, customers can purchase Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) credits and attribute the resulting emissions reduction benefit to their IT purchase, achieving a minimum of 70 percent CO2 emissions reduction1.

A cleaner substitute for conventional jet fuel, SAF has potential2 in reducing CO2 emissions from airfreight transportation and enables organizations to realize targets for Scope 3 emissions. The Greenhouse Gas Protocol defines Scope 3 emissions—which account for 70 percent of the average corporate total emissions3—as those that occur outside a company’s walls, including emissions tied to the purchase and disposal of products. While less than 10 percent of organizations accurately measure their Scope 3 emissions4, Lenovo’s Reduced Carbon Transport Service provides customers a tangible way to reduce emissions from airfreight. Customers receive a confirmation of emissions reduction that can be used for reporting against their own Scope 3 targets, ensuring greater transparency throughout the process.

“We’re embedding sustainability deeper into the technology value chain with innovations like Reduced Carbon Transport so that customers have a pathway to more sustainable IT decision-making,” said Claudia Contreras, Executive Director of Global Sustainability Services for Lenovo. “At Lenovo, we are committed to more than just our own Net-Zero vision. Net-Zero is achieved through a collection of sustainable choices. We are happy to be the trusted business partner and solution provider that helps customers achieve both digital transformation and sustainability success.”

Enterprise customers across North America, EMEA, and Asia Pacific have the option to add Reduced Carbon Transport Service to their device purchases. As part of its service-led transformation, Lenovo continues to innovate by delivering solutions that help customers meet their own sustainability goals. In addition to its new Reduced Carbon Transport Service, Lenovo is enabling customers to meet their climate action goals and implement more circular and responsible IT practices with several sustainability focused services including Lenovo CO2 Offset Service and Asset Recovery Services.

Reduced Carbon Transport Service is the latest offering from Lenovo’s Solutions and Services Group (SSG) which brings together all of Lenovo’s IT solutions and services across PC, infrastructure and smart verticals including support, managed, project and solution service offerings. With a network of over 20,000 technicians across 180 markets, SSG helps customers transform their businesses on a global and local scale by delivering practical innovation to strengthen their competitive advantage. Lenovo TruScale customers can deploy services on a “subscription” basis, using only what they need and curbing waste.

Trilliant’s Corporate Commitment to Sustainability Reinforced with Certifications, Awards


Recertifications from DEKRA and ECORESPONSIBLE and awards for sustainability validate the company’s ongoing pledge to customers and employees

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- Trilliant, a leading international provider of solutions for advanced metering infrastructure (AMI), smart grid, smart cities and IIoT, continues to focus on its commitment to sustainability for its customers and the company with new recertifications, awards and assessments.

Trilliant previously announced its Integrated Management System was recertified to ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015. Recently, DEKRA Audits has also recertified Trilliant in the following areas, solidifying Trilliant’s commitment to sustainable business operations:

ISO 27001:2013 standard for information security management systems (ISMS): ISO 27001 is the world's best-known standard for ISMS and defines requirements an ISMS must meet. The standard provides companies with guidance for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an information security management system. Conformity with ISO/IEC 27001 means that an organization or business has put in place a system to manage risks related to the security of data owned or handled by the company, and that this system respects all the best practices and principles enshrined in this International Standard.

ISO 45001:2018 standard for occupational health and safety (OH&S) management: ISO 45001:2018 specifies requirements for an OH&S management system. It gives guidance for its use to enable organizations to provide safe and healthy workplaces by preventing work-related injury and ill health, as well as by proactively improving its OH&S performance.

In June 2023, Trilliant was recertified for the ECORESPONSIBLE™ Certification, progressing to Level #2 (Performance). This certification in sustainable development management is part of an ongoing four-level improvement process, designed to help organizations improve their overall performance in economic, environmental, social and governance terms. By making strategic decisions regarding sustainable development through their ECORESPONSIBLE practices, organizations show their tangible contribution to sustainable development. In doing so, they reduce their ecological impact and improve their value chain.

Trilliant is also the recipient of a 2022 EcoVadis Silver medal and placed in the top 19 percent within its industry. EcoVadis has grown to become the world’s largest and most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings, creating a global network of more than 100,000+ rated companies. EcoVadis medals recognize companies that have completed the EcoVadis assessment process and demonstrated a relatively strong management system that addresses sustainability criteria, as outlined in the EcoVadis methodology. Companies must also meet specific licensing and eligibility criteria.

Trilliant’s office in Granby, Québec, was recently recognized by the City of Granby with an Environmental Recognition Award. This awards honors citizens, non-profit organizations, businesses, industries and educational institutions of the City of Granby who have made an outstanding contribution to the community and its reputation through their commitment and achievements in environmental and sustainable development matters. Trilliant was honored in the Sustainable Industry category for its ECORESPONSIBLE™ certification.

Sustainability: A key pillar of Trilliant’s strategy

Trilliant understands that not only is sustainability important for future generations, but that utilities and cities want to know their vendors and suppliers are dedicated to social responsibility. To demonstrate its commitment, Trilliant is a participating member of the UN Global Compact. The compact is a global call to action for companies to support the UN’s social development goals (SDGs). Trilliant is focused on four of those goals, which continue to guide the company’s strategy and align with its mission: affordable and clean energy; sustainable cities and communities; responsible consumption and production; and climate action.

“Our commitment to sustainability in our work has never been clearer,” said Andy White, Chairman and CEO, Trilliant. “Our certifications and awards enable Trilliant to be accountable and ensure that our goals and practices have a positive impact on our customers, partners and all our stakeholders. We’re also proud of our global team members who are energized to engage on initiatives that are aligned with the UN SDGs.”

As the company looks ahead, it has engaged COESIO — third-party sustainability experts — to finalize and support the implementation of Trilliant's Net Zero plan. Trilliant will share its progress and impact in a future update.

About Trilliant

Trilliant® empowers the global energy industry with the only device-agnostic communications platform that enables utilities and cities to deploy any application securely and reliably on one powerful network. Our purpose-built portfolio is designed to offer the power of choice, without risk of customers being “locked in” with one technology provider or meter manufacturer. We are proud to offer mission-critical solutions that support AMI, Data & Analytics, Smart Metering, Smart Grids and Smart Cities. Customers worldwide benefit from Trilliant’s unique combination of flexibility, sustainability and scalability that connects utilities and cities to the IIoT and a more strategic path to the Energy Transition.

NEW YORK 
Leonard A. Lauder will remain Chairman Emeritus of The Estée Lauder Companies

(BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Estée Lauder Companies announced today that Chairman Emeritus Leonard A. Lauder has informed the Company of his decision not to stand for re-election to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at the annual meeting in November. Leonard Lauder remains Chairman Emeritus of the Company. Pursuant to the stockholders’ agreement among Lauder family members and the Company, Leonard Lauder has the right to designate two directors of the Company. In addition to his son William P. Lauder, who serves as Executive Chairman, Leonard Lauder has designated his son Gary M. Lauder to serve on the Board. The Board has nominated Gary Lauder and will include his name among the nominees for election at the Company’s annual meeting in November.

Gary has periodically attended the Company’s Board meetings over the years as an invited observer, which has provided him with a long-term view of the Company.

Leonard Lauder formally joined The Estée Lauder Companies in 1958 and served as President from 1972 to 1995 and as Chief Executive Officer from 1982 to 1999. He became Chairman of the Board in 1995 and served in that role through June 2009, until he was appointed Chairman Emeritus for the Company.

“My father envisioned and helped drive the growth and expansion of our Company from an iconic single brand to the global, brand-building powerhouse it is today. We’ve never wavered from his vision of being a home for the best brands and best people, all of whom are united in delivering high-quality, prestige beauty products and high-touch service and experiences, while maintaining our unique, values-driven culture,” said William P. Lauder, Executive Chairman. “It has been an incredible honor and privilege to have worked with and learned from my father over the years. I look forward to continuing to learn from him and know his passion for this industry, this Company, our employees and our consumers is as strong as ever.”

“It has been an honor and privilege to serve on the Board of the Company my mother and father created over 75 years ago,” said Leonard Lauder. “This Board is one of the best in the business. I feel confident that the Company’s leadership and Board will continue to guide our strategy to deliver long-term growth. Additionally, I continue to believe in the success of our Company through the skillful and thoughtful management by William, Fabrizio, and the entire leadership team. The nomination of Gary to the Board further reflects my family’s long-term stewardship, and our support of the vision, values, and people who will drive the Company’s future success. As Chairman Emeritus of the Company, I’m looking forward to continuing my work as advisor and “Chief Teaching Officer,” serving what I believe to be the best Company in the world.”

“On behalf of the Board, I share my deep admiration and appreciation to Leonard for his invaluable contributions to the Company as an officer and as a member of the Board. He is a visionary whose creative thinking is unmatched in the industry. His innovative insights will continue to serve as inspiration for us all,” said Charlene Barshefsky, the Company’s Presiding Director.

In addition to his activities with The Estée Lauder Companies, Leonard Lauder is extremely involved in the worlds of education, art, politics, and philanthropy.
