Collective for Equality aims at Shaping a Unified Vision for Workplace Gender Equality Advocacy

SINGAPORE, Dec 18, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Embracing a forward-thinking approach to champion workplace gender equality, Singapore-headquartered global community platform Women Icons Network has unveiled its transformation into Collective for Equality (CofE). This strategic rebranding marks a significant milestone, symbolizing a purposeful shift towards fostering a more inclusive and collaborative environment in the pursuit of workplace gender equality.

Collective for Equality (CofE) embodies a profound commitment to inclusivity, going beyond gender-specific boundaries to engage a diverse spectrum of professionals and organizations dedicated to advancing workplace equality. This evolution isn’t just about a change in name; it’s a bold step towards cultivating a community that embraces diverse perspectives and catalyzes concerted action in the realm of Workplace Gender Equality.

“At Collective for Equality, our vision is rooted in the belief that progress stems from unity,” remarked Vishwesh Iyer, Founder at Collective for Equality. “This rebranding reflects our steadfast commitment to providing an all-encompassing platform that encourages collaboration, amplifies diverse voices, and drives substantive change in workplace dynamics.”

Central to this transformation is the deliberate inclusion and engagement of male corporate leaders, notably CXOs and decision-makers. Collective for Equality recognizes their pivotal role in effecting meaningful change and endeavours to carve out a dedicated space for them to contribute their insights, share experiences, and spearhead initiatives toward fostering inclusive workplaces.

“We aim to create an environment where male leaders are equally and whole heartedly engaged in shaping the dialogue on gender equality at work,” emphasized Vishwesh. “Their active involvement is pivotal in reshaping workplace culture and driving initiatives that benefit everyone.”

Collective for Equality is poised to become a pivotal hub for collaborative endeavours, uniting individuals and organizations committed to propelling workplace equality. Beyond a simple name change, this rebranding represents a transformative step towards fostering a robust, diverse, and inclusive community dedicated to effecting substantive and lasting change.

As part of this evolution, the platform will introduce innovative initiatives, thought-provoking discussions, and actionable resources tailored to address the multifaceted dimensions of workplace gender equality. Collective for Equality aspires to cultivate an environment conducive to fostering inclusive workplaces on a global scale.

The transition from Women Icons Network to Collective for Equality signifies more than a mere rebrand—it’s a declaration of a collective commitment to inclusivity, collaboration, and a unified vision for realizing workplace gender equality.

Verofax is among the Top UAE Future100 to Positively Impact the Nation’s Future Economy!

DUBAI, UAE, Dec 14, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Verofax, a leading compliance and commerce SaaS solution provider, has earned distinction as one of the top Future100 pioneering startups, selected by the Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of State for Government Development and the Future. This recognition underscores Verofax’s pivotal role in contributing positively to the UAE’s economy and enhancing its preparedness for the future.

The prestigious unveiling of the Future100 took place at the Award Ceremony hosted at the Museum of the Future, symbolizing a momentous occasion in recognizing and celebrating innovation. Future 100 has recognized Verofax for its innovative technology in decarbonizing industries and boosting the competitiveness of the country’s Industrial sectors.

H.E. Abdullah bin Touq Al Marri, UAE Minister of Economy, said “We congratulate the 100 companies that successfully made it to the final stage of the initiative’s first edition to become the best 100 companies of the future, possessing pioneering capabilities for growth and healthy competition,” Al Marri added “ We believe this is a turning point that will enable these companies to achieve more sustainable commercial success and access to regional and global markets.”

H.E. Ohood bint Khalfan Al Roumi, UAE Minister of State for Government Development and the Future, said: “Future100 has uncovered numerous startups and scaleups venturing into new sectors, receiving over a thousand applications from various targeted sectors over three months.”

Over 45 evaluators and experts across different sectors evaluated the applications, conducting interviews with company officials using a predefined set of criteria. These criteria encompassed the capacity for innovative business models leveraging new technologies, the potential of the target market, the ability to engage key customers through a well-defined business plan supported by clear financial data, the feasibility of the business with a strategy for securing future financing, and consideration of the impact of environmental and social governance in both the UAE and global contexts.

Verofax’s automates compliance, traceability and verification

As more countries are looking to decarbonize their economy, the EU and US have recently introduced regulations to curb imports of high-emission commodities such as steel, Aluminum, cement, fertilizers, chemicals and energy. The EU Carbon Border Tax regulation came into effect on August 17 and reporting became mandatory for exporters on October 1st. Existing ERP systems are not built to aggregate data across the supply chain and prevent double counting. Thus compliance with operational standards for measuring and reporting in accordance with ISO14064 standards becomes an unsurmountable challenge for exporters needing to have their multi-tier supply chain comply with such operating procedures, which increases cost significantly. Not complying is also not an option with up to 35% of revenue in tariffs levied at European Union border customs. The problem necessitates commodity passporting and emissions tracking without the risk of double counting.

Wassim Merheby, CEO of Verofax, said, “Existing ERP systems are siloed by design, which hinders the capability of having immutable data and certifications verified on the interoperable system for all stakeholders from material collectors to recyclers, exporters, customs and clients. Verofax offers an award-winning Digital Passporting and traceability solution for multi-tier supply chain verification, enabling seamless compliance and verification of Carbon emissions. The Gulf region trails behind India and other markets that recycle up to 80% of targeted commodities. Recycling can reduce emissions by up to 95%, thus markets with lower recycling thresholds are at risk of being priced out of the EU market. The UAE for example, exports $1.5B to the EU mainly Aluminum and recycles under 10% to date. With Verofax emission verification and commodity passporting, exporters have a great opportunity to trail a path towards export growth.”

Verofax Digital passporting & Traceability solution for compliance verification automation ensures the validation of commodities emissions, and commodity provenance, prevents recycling double counting, across a tiered supply chain. By calculating and verifying low carbon emissions from mining or waste material collection, Recycling, repurposing and transportation, exporters will lower their costs and increase market access to EU & US in compliance with regulations.

About Future100

Future100 is a collaborative initiative between the Ministry of Economy and the GovernmentDevelopment and the Future Office, united in their mission to foster the growth of 100 pioneering startups pivotal to shaping the trajectory of the UAE’s future economy. This innovative initiative focuses on sectors of strategic importance, including space exploration, renewable energy, and emerging technology, with the overarching goal of establishing novel benchmarks for the country’s economic landscape. Beyond its immediate objectives, Future100 aspires to propel the UAE’s standing in global competitiveness, entrepreneurship, and investment rankings, thereby solidifying the nation’s position as a frontrunner in the ever-evolving landscape of innovation and economic dynamism.

Moderna Reviews its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Progress and Ambitions at Second ESG Investor Event

Cambridge, MA, Dec 11, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Moderna, Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA) today will provide an update on its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy at its second ESG Investor Event. Building off its inaugural ESG Day in November 2022, the Company will highlight the year’s progress on its ESG journey and future work to further impact global health and protect the environment.

“Our mRNA platform science has benefited patients around the world and with that comes great responsibility as science alone will not solve the world’s greatest health challenges,” said Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna. “We are committed to moving beyond the power of our technology – tackling enduring health disparities, engaging with our communities, and recognizing that human health and planetary health are intricately linked. We look forward to building on our substantial ESG progress to become the best version of Moderna.”

Moderna’s ESG strategy is articulated around five areas:

Medicines for Patients: Moderna is leveraging its platform for many medicines, from vaccines to protect hundreds of millions of people from common viruses for which no vaccines are available today, to several rare disease therapies with tremendous opportunity for impact. Within its clinical trials, Moderna believes a committed approach to offering equal healthcare accessibility is achievable and necessary. The Company is also committed to using its platform to help rapidly respond to the greatest public health threats, pursuing a pipeline of priority programs relevant for outbreak response and pandemic preparedness. Moderna has long prioritized strategic collaborations to benefit global health, including its partnership with The Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), and Moderna’s mRNA Access program, a collaborative effort that enables researchers around the world to utilize Moderna’s mRNA technology.

Environment: Moderna is progressing on its journey toward net-zero carbon emissions (Scopes 1 & 2) by 2030. The Company has advanced its overall environmental sustainability program, including through implementing its sustainability strategy, enhancing its disclosure of key performance indicators, submitting its first CDP Climate Change questionnaire, and initiating a climate risk and scenario analysis. These efforts support internal and external stakeholder expectations for sustainable operations and Moderna’s adaptation to a low-carbon economy.

Employees & Culture: Moderna consistently ranks as a top employer and achieves above benchmark scores on engagement, culture and belonging. Moderna continues to foster a culture where every employee can meaningfully contribute to the Company’s mission, an effort that serves to attract and retain the best talent. By living the Company’s values and mindsets every day, the Moderna team is not only advancing mRNA science, but also building an organization that cares deeply for patients, employees, the environment, and the community.

Community: Moderna is committed to having a positive impact on communities around the world. Moderna’s purpose-driven employees continue to exemplify the Company’s mission, with nearly two out of three employees participating in volunteering activities or contributing as part of Moderna’s newly instituted employee matching program. The Moderna Charitable Foundation continues to provide financial support to organizations and causes that promote public health, advance scientific education, and advocate for belonging, inclusion, and diversity.

Governance & Ethics: Moderna prioritizes accountability and transparency around its ESG efforts, including through the publication of its second annual ESG report and continued commitment to disclosing key metrics. Moderna has initiated an ESG materiality assessment, which includes broad stakeholder surveys, and is also leveraging AI to build a dynamic analysis of material topics.

“Delivering on our ESG ambitions is made possible by a strong culture that embeds the values of transparency, accountability and ownership at all levels of the organization,” said Shannon Thyme Klinger, Moderna’s Chief Legal Officer, Corporate Secretary and President of the Moderna Foundation. “The same determination that goes into our innovation carries over into our commitment to positively impact the communities in which we work and live.”

About Moderna

Moderna is a leader in the creation of the field of mRNA medicine. Through the advancement of mRNA technology, Moderna is reimagining how medicines are made and transforming how we treat and prevent disease for everyone. By working at the intersection of science, technology and health for more than a decade, the company has developed medicines at unprecedented speed and efficiency, including one of the earliest and most effective COVID-19 vaccines.

Moderna’s mRNA platform has enabled the development of therapeutics and vaccines for infectious diseases, immuno-oncology, rare diseases and autoimmune diseases. With a unique culture and a global team driven by the Moderna values and mindsets to responsibly change the future of human health, Moderna strives to deliver the greatest possible impact to people through mRNA medicines.

Igloo closes US$36M Pre-Series C fundraise with 50% valuation increase

SINGAPORE, Dec 6, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Regional insurtech Igloo today announced that it has closed a US$36 million Pre-Series C funding round. Global investment firm Eurazeo, through its insurtech fund backed by the insurer BNP Paribas Cardif, led the investment. Openspace and La Maison, who previously participated in Igloo’s Series B and Series B+ fundraises, also joined in, reaffirming their confidence in the company’s strong business fundamentals. Eurazeo invested through its insurtech fund focused on innovative technologies and business ideas disrupting the insurance industry, whilst Openspace’s investment in this round comes via its mid-stage fund, OSV+, which is focused on the Series C and D rounds of transformative technology companies in Southeast Asia.

Matthieu Baret, Managing Partner – Venture at Eurazeo shared: “We are thrilled to invest in Igloo with the insurer BNP Paribas Cardif. With our investments in China, Indonesia, India, and Singapore, we’re extending our footprint with the ambition to become a leading player in Asia.”

“We have been following Igloo for some time now and have been impressed with their evolution into a diversified insurance platform across channels and products. The insurance market in Southeast Asia is still very underpenetrated and we believe Igloo is in a strong position to help solve this by making insurance more easily accessible and understandable for consumers,” shared Albert Shyy, Managing Director, Eurazeo.

This latest round comes just 10 months after Igloo’s previous Series B+ fundraise led by BlueOrchard-managed InsuResilience Investment Fund II. In total, the company has raised US$100 million. Notably, Igloo’s Pre-Series C round closed at an increased valuation of 50 percent from its Series B+ round in 2022, as the company moves closer to profitability in 2024. Igloo is on track to double its 2022 Gross Written Premiums (GWP) at a low burn rate; its robust engineering core and data focus, the company’s path to profitability in 2024 is set.

“We’re always thrilled when the opportunity arises to keep investing in a company at the mid-stage that we’ve previously backed – and Igloo’s recent growth and steps towards profitability have given us further confidence in the business’s ability to capture and expand the insurance market in Southeast Asia,” said Jessica Huang Pouleur, Partner, Openspace Ventures. “Our team has been actively involved in working with Igloo to this point, and those existing relationships will enable us to seamlessly continue adding operational and commercial value as the business integrates, acquires, and strengthens capabilities.”

Asia’s insurance market is brimming with untapped potential, especially in emerging economies like Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines. Despite the rising adoption of insurance, many remain underinsured. This vast, underserved demographic has caught the attention of investors, with companies like Igloo standing out due to their innovative approach to the evolving landscape in these markets – addressing pain points across the insurance value chain for insurers, sales intermediaries, retailers and consumers.

Igloo’s recent scores include two innovative offerings. In 2022, it launched Ignite by Igloo, a digital platform that enhances the productivity of sales intermediaries in Vietnam and Indonesia. Ignite by Igloo works with 22,000 sales intermediaries and agent partners and aims to close 2023 with 50,000 agents as it expands into other markets. In line with Igloo’s purpose of improving financial inclusion for underserved segments, over 60 per cent of Ignite by Igloo’s intermediary partners are female.

Another innovation for Igloo is its Weather Index Insurance, a pioneering blockchain-based parametric insurance for farmers. The product has drawn interest from partners in Vietnam and across Southeast Asia for its potential to greatly benefit the agricultural sector. Despite its novelty in a highly traditional sector, Weather Index Insurance has already been adopted by thousands of farmers since launching last November and covers 20,000 hectares of coffee and padi farms.

Igloo has facilitated over 500 million policies and aims to double its Gross Written Premium (GWP) from 2022.
