BANGKOK, Aug 2, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – The highly anticipated Executive Asian Energy Leadership Forum 2023 is set to take place on August 17 and 18, 2023, at the prestigious Centara Grand and Convention Centre in Bangkok, Thailand. This crucial event- Sustainable Energy Technology Asia (SETA) and Solar+Storage Asia (SSA) 2023, two leading integrated energy business platforms in Asia, will highlight the instrumental role and strategic direction of the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) in propelling Thailand towards a sustainable future, with a strong emphasis on renewable energy and decarbonization.

As the frontrunner in Thailand's energy sector, EGAT is driving the nation towards a greener and more sustainable future. As the primary electricity generator and transmitter, EGAT supplies power to major distributors, including the Provincial Electricity Generation Authority and the Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA). With its substantial reach and influence over the regional energy industry, EGAT sets industry standards and promotes sustainable practices.
Since its inception, EGAT has placed utmost priority on creating a path towards a greener tomorrow, with the goal of achieving Carbon Literacy by 2015. This vision encompasses a comprehensive understanding of the carbon cycle, the potential impacts of climate change, and the ability to make informed decisions and take action to reduce environmental footprints. Today, EGAT's mission to transform the energy landscape is driven by its innovative 'Triple S' strategy – Source Transformation, Sink Co-creation, and Support Measure Mechanism.

The cornerstone of EGAT's sustainability efforts is the Source Transformation strategy, which aims to shift Thailand's energy dependency from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources like solar, wind and biomass, etc. However, the journey to renewables has its challenges that EGAT must ensure a reliable power supply for the nation by developing grid modernization and smooth out the peaks and troughs of renewable energy generation, under the Sink Co-creation strategy. In addition, EGAT has introduced initiatives such as energy efficiency labels and circular green commodities to encourage a circular economy, promote resource efficiency and conscious consumer behaviors through the Support Measure Mechanism strategy.

With a strong infrastructure and expansive reach, EGAT's strategies align perfectly with the National Energy Plan, underscoring the country's steadfast commitment to a greener future. In its pursuit of a sustainable energy future, EGAT's ambitious portfolio includes pioneering projects such as rooftop solar generation, solar farms, floating solar power plants, Carbon Capture Utilization Storage (CCUS), Electric Vehicle (EV) infrastructure and Hydrogen, a promising source of clean energy with robust partnerships which will create new avenues for renewable energy generation.

Looking ahead, Mr. Prasertsak emphasizes that decarbonization is a non-negotiable objective for the energy industry. Therefore, EGAT has set ambitious zero-emission targets by 2065. By then, the vision is to have solutions to offset carbon emissions through innovations and strategies such as reforestation and carbon capture initiatives.

The Executive Asian Energy Leadership Forum-SETA and SSA, represents a milestone in shaping Asia's energy future. This event will showcase advancements in carbon capture measures, hydrogen-based technologies, and other renewable energy resources. It serves as a critical platform for conversation and collaboration, where the future of the energy industry will be defined through innovation, shared commitment to sustainable practices, and a willingness to reimagine traditional energy sources.

Scheduled for August 17 and 18, 2023, at the Centara Grand and Convention Centre in Bangkok, Thailand, the forum promises to assemble industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators from over 50 countries around the world. Attendees will gain in-depth energy insights from global industry speakers and participants. Prominent attendees include energy executives from international organizations such as Mr. Naomi Hirose, Chair of Japan Energy Association World Energy Council (WEC), Dr. Sama Bilbao y Le'n, Director General World Nuclear Association (WNA), Dr. Fatih Birol, Executive Director International Energy Agency (IEA), Dr. Hong Peng Liu, Director, Energy Division, United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), Mr. Shinichi Kihara, Director-General for International Policy on Carbon Neutrality at Agency for Natural Resources and Energy of Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), Dr. Han Phoumin, Senior Energy Economist, Economic Research Institute for ASEAN & East Asia (ERIA), Dr. Fabrizio Zarcone, Country Manager for Thailand, The World Bank Group, Mr. Tadahiro Kaneko, Senior Assistant to Unit Heads of Global Banking & Wholesale, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Dr. Florian-Patrice Nagel, Head of Corporate Strategy, B.Grimm Power Public Company Limited, and Mr. Toshiro Kudama, Chief Executive Officer, JERA Asia Pte. Ltd.

This unique opportunity allows participants to engage in substantial dialogue, explore the latest technological advancements, and contribute to the crucial discussion about Asia's future energy landscape.

Healthcare Hiring on the rise in the Philippines: foundit Insights Tracker

Despite a slight dip in the country’s annual hiring activity, healthcare and retail continue to offer promising job opportunities.
Healthcare professionals lead all other industry job roles charting the highest annual growth of 21% in June ‘23

MANILA, Aug 2, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – foundit (formerly Monster APAC & ME), one of the leading talent platforms, today published the foundit Insights Tracker (fit) for June 2023, formerly published as Monster Employment Index (MEI). According to the Philippines fit report, job roles in the Healthcare and Retail sector have impressively grown by 26% and 12% respectively over the past year.

The tracker also reveals a marginal dip of 2% in e-recruitment activity, as the index climbed down from 127 in June 2022 to 124 in June 2023. Despite this drop in recruitment activity, sectors such as Healthcare, Retail, and BPO/ITES witnessed progressive annual hiring growth in June’23. Amidst the ongoing pursuit of cost-cutting measures by global businesses, call centers and outsourcing companies in the Philippines have exceeded revenue and hiring targets and managed to maintain a positive outlook for the BPO job market. These promising numbers confirm a gradual but continuous improvement in the labour market, implying that demand for online recruitment will continue to climb in the coming months.

Commenting on the Philippines job trends for June 2023, Sekhar Garisa, CEO, foundit, said, “Hiring is picking up pace in the Philippines. We are hopeful that jobs will rebound in the upcoming months as certain sectors such as Healthcare, Retail, and BPO/ITES are showing a positive growth trajectory. The Philippines government has also shown support for gig & hybrid jobs, boosting hiring for service. This is crucial for job seekers, as it gives them more flexibility and opportunities to work in different sectors and locations.”

Healthcare, Retail, and BPO/ITES sectors lead in hiring activity, while the IT, Telecom, Logistics, Courier/Freight, and Advertising industries witness a drop in recruitment.

The fit reveals that the Healthcare industry continued to dominate the job market in June 2023, with a YoY increase of 26% hiring in the sector. Despite the shortage of skilled nurses and doctors, there has been a promising upward trend in hiring efforts to meet the country’s healthcare demands. Also, the Retail industry (+12%) witnessed double-digit growth in hiring demand this month owing to the increased number of customers visiting physical stores. Given that the Filipino government had allowed BPO companies with work-from-home arrangements to retain tax incentives, the hiring in the BPO/ITES sector (+11%) saw sequential annual growth in June ’23.

The Logistics, Courier/Freight/Transportation, and Shipping industry along with IT and Telecom/ISP has recorded a dramatic decline in hiring activity, with a YoY decrease of 34% and 20% respectively. Logistics has always presented a major challenge in the Philippines due to inadequate infrastructure, frequent weather-related disasters, and scattered demand. Consequently, the industry has struggled to thrive, resulting in sluggish hiring trends within the sector. The growth momentum for other industries such as Advertising, MR, PR, Media & Entertainment (-18%), Engineering, Construction and Real Estate (-1%), Hospitality (-3%), BFSI (-13%), Production/Manufacturing, Automotive and Ancillary (-14%), and Education (-17%) saw a consecutive dip annually in June’23.

Roles in Healthcare, Sales & Business Development, and Customer Service lead the hiring trends

There continues to be a high demand for Healthcare (+21%) professionals marking the steepest annual growth in June’23. With the sudden jump in the retail sector, the jobs in Sales & Business Development (+17%) went up leading to increase in demand for candidates Customer service and software, hardware, and telecom functions are also experiencing positive and steady growth of 11% and 3%, respectively, due to the improving economy.

Jobs in Purchase/ Logistics/ Supply chain (-24%) have been facing some challenges since Jan’23 and showed the lowest growth in hiring this month among all monitored functions. Hiring for Marketing & Communications (-21%) and HR & Admin (-21%) roles too dipped substantially in June’23. Other industries to witness a subsequent drop in hiring activity include – Hospitality & Travel (-1%) Engineering/ Production, Real Estate (-2%), and Finance and Accounts (-10%).

The foundit Insights Tracker is a comprehensive monthly analysis of online job posting activity conducted by foundit. Based on a real-time review of millions of employer job opportunities culled from a large, representative selection of online career outlets, the foundit Insights Tracker (fit) presents a snapshot of employer online recruitment activity nationwide.

Period for the report

The period considered for the foundit Insights Tracker (fit) data is June 2022 vs. June 2023.

Innovative Real Estate Development featuring Surfing Opens in Brazil

SOLANA BEACH, CA, Aug 1, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – JHSF, owners of the luxury brand Fasano(TM), brought the same classic elegance to a pool party like no other at the Grand Opening of Boa Vista Village in Brazil. The residential development, anchored by a six-acre PerfectSwell(R) Surf Pool, debuted the waves and the facilities to a crowd of guests, residents, and celebrities. The venue, situated in the countryside sixty minutes from Sao Paulo, features beach front condominiums, an international spa, retail store, clubhouse, and a beach resort all surrounding a PerfectSwell(R) Surf Pool.

On the same day as the party, the WSL World Championship Tour event in Rio De Janeiro recessed waiting for the ocean to deliver waves. Seizing on the fortunate timing, JHSF flew Olympic gold medalists Italo Ferreira, Carissa Moore, and other pros on a private plane to showcase their talent on the waves in front of a stoked crowd. After the session Carissa said, "It was insane, so much fun, honestly exceeded expectations. I have not stopped smiling, and I probably won't until tomorrow." Italo Ferreira appreciates the training potential, "For those who surf in high performance this is very positive, we can test several different equipment and boards in a short period of time."
