Global Innovation & Value Summit (GIVS2022): Why ESG Evaluation Matters, to be held November 18

November 17, 2022

KYOTO, Japan, Nov 17, 2022 - (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Opening the COP27 Conference, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres chided world leaders about their ongoing inaction, warning that immediate, real and tangible action is required to address the climate crisis, or "we are on the highway to hell, with our foot on the accelerator."IAFOR GIVS Symposium 2022 to be held on November 18: https://givs.iafor.org/ According to Prof. Philip Sugai, Director of the Value Research Center (VRC) in Kyoto, Japan, "Corporations are now pressed to answer to a more diverse group of stakeholders, and while there are more than a hundred different types of ESG (Environment, Social, and Governance) evaluation and reporting systems, none yet offer the guidance and strategic value to businesses that are required to address the many complex issues facing business leaders today."The 2022 IAFOR Global Innovation and Value Summit (GIVS) is focused on providing one possible offramp from Guterres's highway to hell, showcasing a new approach to measure and monitor the value created and destroyed by companies irrespective of their size, industry or location. The Value Model offers a powerful alternative to currently available ESG evaluation systems (ie MSCI, Bloomberg and FTSE4Good) with a new, more holistic approach for measuring, managing and creating value for a diverse group of stakeholders not yet found in any single existing ESG or sustainability reporting framework. The 2022 GIVS event, "The Future of ESG and Value: Why ESG Evaluation Matters", will include two panel sessions in the areas of sustainability, purpose, and value. Prof. Toshiya Hoshino, Director, ESG-Integration Research and Education Center (ESG-IREC) at Osaka University's Osaka School of International Public Policy (OSIPP) and former Ambassador and Deputy Permanent Representative of Japan to the United Nations, will deliver the keynote speech. Having attended COP27 in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, he will bring to the Symposium valuable insights on the difficult international negotiations at the COP27 conference.The first panel session will cover critical issues that business leaders, regulators and policy makers need to focus on over the coming 12-24 months related to the implementation of ESG and sustainability within their organizations, and introduces the VRC Value Model. The second panel will explain the VRC Value Model and introduce the Value Model certification course.The full agenda for the 2022 IAFOR GIVS event ( https://givs.iafor.org/ ) is as follows:13:00-13:30: Keynote Address - Prof. Toshiya Hoshino, Director, ESG-Integration Research and Education Center, Osaka School of International Public Policy (OSIPP), Osaka University 13:30-15:00: Session 1 - Moderator: Prof. Haruko Satoh, OSIPP; Value Measurement & Sustainability, Challenges & Opportunities (15 min presentation each, 30-minute discussion)- Speaker 1: Mr. Paul Beddie, International Ambassador, SAP - Speaker 2: Dr. Flocy Joseph, Singapore Management University- Speaker 3: Prof. Philip Sugai, Value Research Center (VRC), Doshisha University, Kyoto, Japan15:00-15:15: Break15:15-16:45: Session 2 - Introducing the Value Model and Value Model Certification Program- Speaker 1: Prof. Philip Sugai, Value Research Center (VRC)- Speaker 2: Dr. Kumar Iyer (VRC)- Speaker 3: Seitaro Owada (EcoRing)16:45-17:00: Concluding address - Mr. Setsu Mori, CEO & Editor-in-Chief, Alterna MagazineThis course will be provided by the Value Research Center, in collaboration with the ESG-Integration Research and Education Center (ESG-IREC) at Osaka University's Osaka School of International Public Policy (OSIPP), as well as the VRC Juku, a new membership organization dedicated to thought leadership in value creation and measurement, with D-Bridge, a non-profit organization at Doshisha University (Kyoto, Japan).The time for action to attain UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is growing more critical every day. As neoliberal capitalism's excessive focus on company and shareholders' profits is increasingly identified as a major driver of environmental destruction as well as a host of social and economic inequality issues, today's business leaders are evaluated not only on their ability to create profitable outcomes, but to do so while simultaneously delivering real, tangible value for the other stakeholders, which include customers, employees, partners, society and ultimately the planet.About IAFORFounded in 2009, The International Academic Forum (IAFOR) is a politically independent non-partisan and non-profit interdisciplinary think tank, conference organiser and publisher dedicated to discussion, awareness and exchange through educational interaction and academic research. Based in Nagoya, Japan, its research centre is in the Osaka School of International Public Policy (OSIPP), Osaka University. Visit https://iafor.org/.About VRCThe Value Research Center (VRC) at Doshisha University in Kyoto, Japan was established in November 2021. Its mission: to develop a practical system called The Value Model, enabling organizations to measure, monitor, assess and report on their impacts to 7 key stakeholders: the organization itself, its shareholders, employees, customers, partners, society, and the planet.The VRC enhances The Value Model continuously, integrating new frameworks as they are introduced, bringing greater transparency, objectivity and measurability to value creation - in ways we don't often see. The VRC Value Model gives government and industry the eyes to see impacts they're actually having, and the ability to fix what's broken, and enhance what they're doing well.

TITAN CAPITAL MARKETS Announces the Launch of Its EPC Program to Protect the Interests of Users

July 28, 2022

TITAN CAPITAL MARKETS CEO: The synergy of theoretical and practical Implications in forex trading CANBERRA, AUSTRALIA, July 28, 2022 – (SEAPRWire) – Howard Yan, the CEO of TITAN CAPITAL MARKETS, is proud to announce its EPC program, which will protect the interests of their users. Founded in Australia, TITAN CAPITAL MARKETS is a well-known integrated educational, financial group that holds both Australian Financial Services License (AFSL) and Money Services Business (MSB) License, and it is regulated by ASIC (The Australian Securities and Investments Commission) and FINTRAC (Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada.) It boosts the wealth mindsets of its members and equips them with forex trading skills through substantial online and offline financial education courses combined with a systematic social trading program. At the 2022 Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders meeting, Warren Buffett repeated his long-held advice that the best investment is anything that develops yourself. You don’t have to worry about inflation because the most vital protection against inflation is sharpening your skills. Whatever abilities you have can’t be taken away from you, and devolving your financial quotient can be the key to success in your life. With the development of the global financial industry, there is an increasing number of professional education institutions and knowledge-sharing platforms that focus on financial education. The Titan Wealth Community, established by TITAN CAPITAL MARKETS, has successfully brought a new wave to the economic and financial education industries by integrating the theoretical and practical aspects of financial education. TITAN CAPITAL MARKETS provides a robust trading platform that allows members to reap benefits by conducting transactions through the Titan Wealth Community with the top-notch Artificial Intelligence Arbitrage System. Furthermore, TITAN CAPITAL MARKETS has built two professional trading teams with a combined experience of over 100 years—The Firefox Trading Team, led by Head Trader Emmanuel Peterson and specializing in R-Breaker, scalping, and swing trading strategies, as well as the Wise Wings Trading Team, led by Head Trader Anthony Jefferson, and specializing in a diverse grid trading strategies. Members can conduct copy trading using any of the two teams to earn a sustainable income, create their financial ecosystem, and achieve their financial goals in life. To provide a safer and more secure trading environment, TITAN CAPITAL MARKETS has partnered with the authoritative forex broker and I.B. query platform, WikiFX, and participated in its EPC(Eye Protection Centre) program at the highest legal aid A level to protect the interests of its users. TITAN CAPITAL MARKETS offers its members a guaranteed financial contract with principal protection and a maximum of $3,000 in compensation protection, ensuring the security of each member’s transactions. This move is well-appraised by its members. Mr. Howard Yan also mentioned that the financial quotient, also known as F.Q., has two aspects. One is the ability to create wealth and understand the laws of wealth building, and the other is the ability to harness wealth. However, the common problem with financial education is a gap between knowledge and practical application. The advantage of Titan Wealth Community is that it helps members create a positive financial mindset and reduce misconceptions about financial ability. Titan Wealth Community connects the trading experiences between all members and skilled master traders. It helps novice traders outperform the market and build a sustainable income by applying the top trading strategies shared by other traders. The importance of financial education is gradually increasing. With the gradual establishment of a standardized system in the market, institutions with low professional ability will fall behind the market. We believe that advanced platforms such as the Titan Wealth Community will lead the industry and usher in a new epoch in the field of financial education.

The purpose of this program is to attract more younger people to join the logistics industry, building a cohort of talented individuals to grasp the business opportunities in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. A & S Group's Executive Director Mr Chiu Tat Ting Albert (3rd right), along with Vocational Training Council representative formally sign the memorandum of collaboration, launching the "Vocational Logistics Education Program".Under the support from the government and the industry, VTC will add its "Earn & Learn Scheme" into its Aviation and e-Logistics Higher Diploma Programme in the 2022-23 academic year. The Curriculum covers areas such as the basics of air cargo operations, special cargo handling, aviation safety and security, and e-commerce and logistics management. Scholars will receive on-the-job training during their period of study to better understand the latest knowledge and technology applications in the industry. To allow more younger people to be aware of the latest information in the industry, VTC organised the "e-Commerce and Logistics Talent Day" on July 15 at Haking Wong Campus of the Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education to introduce industry developments and course information.

Training exercises such as establishing air cargo boards, handling special specifications, and temperature-controlled and dangerous goods were also included. As a pioneer in the industry, A&S (HK) Logistics Limited strongly encourages the use of digital technology in daily company operations to boost productivity. The Company is pleased to contribute to this project and assist its scholars, enriching VTC's course curriculum by adding data-analysis-related content, teaching scholars data collecting methods to analyse customer spending behaviours and managing such databases through smart digital devices. Dr. LAW Kwok Leung, Chairman and Executive Director of A & S Group said, "As a pioneer in the air cargo industry, the Group and the Company will fully support VTC. We aspire to attract more interested individuals to join the program to learn more about the air cargo business. To match the future opportunities in the industry, we aim to increase scholars' technical skills and ultimately nurture a group of talented workers. Looking forward, we shall continue providing professional, reliable, and quality services for its clients. By actively grasping the business opportunities presented in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, it will not only benefit its stockholders but also give back to society."About A&S Group (Holdings) LimitedFounded in 2002, A & S Group provides air freight forwarding ground handling services with its facilities at its rented warehouse premises with areas of approximately 235,293 sq. ft. in the Airport Freight Forwarding Centre.
