ROSEN, TRUSTED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Archer Aviation Inc. Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – ACHR

New York, New York – Newsfile Corp. – October 18, 2023 – WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE: ACHR) between September 17, 2021 and August 15, 2023, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important November 20, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Archer Aviation securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Archer Aviation class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=18433 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than November 20, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Archer Aviation relied on heavily edited videos of earlier flights to exaggerate the amount of flight testing it had actually performed and the sophistication of its electric vertical takeoff and landing (“eVTOL”) aircraft; (2) Archer Aviation had misrepresented the nature and profitability of its business partnerships; (3) Archer Aviation was unlikely to secure Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) certification in the timeframe it had represented to investors, thereby delaying the start of mass production of its aircraft for commercial sales; (4) accordingly, Archer Aviation had overstated its financial position and/or prospects; (5) all of the foregoing, once revealed, was likely to subject Archer Aviation to significant financial and/or reputational harm; and (6) as a result, Archer Aviation’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Archer Aviation class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=18433 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Temus scales up Step IT Up career conversion programme with third run as Singapore’s digital economy crosses S$100 billion mark

  • Geared toward the tech hiring needs of private and public sector customers, Temus aims to hire, place and train 20 digital business analysts for its third iteration of Step IT Up.
  • Graduates will be guaranteed tech roles with market-competitive salaries, along with a stipend throughout the career conversion programme.
  • The programme has seen graduation and jobs placement rates of over 90 per cent, enabling locals with no prior tech backgrounds to work in sectors ranging from telco to healthcare, insurance to government organisations.
  • Aspiring candidates should apply by the close of 20 November 2023 via www.stepitup.temus.com.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 19 October 2023 – Temus, digital transformation services firm established by Temasek in partnership with UST, has announced a new round of recruitment for the third iteration (Run 3) of Step IT Up. Supported by Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), Temus’ Step IT Up career conversion scheme was introduced in August 2022, and has seen 38 individuals with no prior tech training or backgrounds secure full-time roles in software and digital application development upon graduating from the three-month programme.

For Run 3, Temus aims to hire, place and train 20 digital business analysts (Digital BAs). Digital BAs comprehend both the operational and technical requirements of organisations, collaboratively working with pertinent teams to identify and implement the optimal digital solutions to address them. Temus foresees a growing demand for these Digital BAs, as Singapore’s public and private sectors undergo digital transformation to seize opportunities within the burgeoning digital economy.

Temus’ announcement comes on the back of IMDA’s inaugural report on Singapore’s digital economy. Jointly produced with the NUS Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, the report highlighted that the digital economy, as a proportion of Singapore’s gross domestic product growth, rose from 13 per cent to 17.3 per cent in 2022 and almost doubled to S$106 billion in 2022. Commensurate with this growth, the number of digital tech jobs created increased from 155,500 to 201,100 over the same five-year period.

Kiren Kumar, Deputy Chief Executive for IMDA said, “Our recently published Singapore Digital Economy report has found that the demand for tech professionals in Singapore is healthy and has risen over the years, accounting for 5.2 per cent of total employment today. As part of efforts to meet this demand, the Step IT Up programme has been successfully enabling organisations to tap on Temus’ accelerated career conversion programme for their tech talent needs. With its third iteration, we look forward to even more graduates of the programme contributing to Singapore’s growing digital economy.”

Driving Singapore’s digital economy by transforming people

Run 3 will build on the success of Temus’ previous two cohorts, which attracted around 900 applicants for 20 places each. Graduates – affectionately called Temus Transformers – were equipped with technical coding skills in Microsoft .NET framework and digital application development competencies using the OutSystems low-code platform. These newfound skills have enabled these Singaporean locals with no prior tech qualifications, training and backgrounds to work in digital technology roles for sectors ranging from telco to healthcare, insurance to government organisations. The trainees come from a diverse range of backgrounds including professional musicians, science researchers, marketers and supply chain professionals.

KC Yeoh, Chief Executive Officer, Temus said, “The continued demand for Step IT Up in Singapore is testament to the capacity of our people to transform and become builders of our digital future. At the same time, our close partnership with customers in the public and private sectors in the areas of role definition, syllabus design and recruitment, ensures that each of our Transformers are geared up to thrive in the specific positions, working conditions and workplace cultures that they’ll be hired, placed, and trained in.”

Step IT Up has a credible track record, with graduation and job placement rates exceeding 90 per cent since its adaptation for the Singapore market last year. Its success in Singapore echoes the programme’s accomplishments in the United States, Israel, Mexico, and other locations worldwide, where it was pioneered by Temus’ partner, UST.

Through Step IT Up, over 1,100 individuals have successfully landed tech roles at prominent multinational corporations like Walmart and Home Depot, growing their tech careers in these positions for over two years.

Srijay Ghosh, Temus’ Founding Member and Chief Revenue Officer said, “Digitally literate talent will be the backbone of Singapore’s burgeoning digital economy. Since Temus’ founding two years ago, we’ve remained committed to the digital ambitions of our customers and employees for Singapore and beyond. Through Step IT Up, we look forward to enabling more aspiring Transformers to receive the skills, confidence and disposition needed to thrive in our digital future.”

Temus’ recruitment for Run 3 will span 16 October to 20 November 2023. Step IT Up is open to Singapore citizens or Singapore permanent residents (PR) with no prior IT qualifications, including mid-career switchers with no prior experience in technology roles. Aspiring candidates should apply to the programme at www.stepitup.temus.com before 20 November 2023.

Record 23,000+ companies disclose environmental impact through CDP, with urgency for action clear in wake of unprecedented global temperatures

  • Record 23,000+ global companies including listed companies worth over two thirds of market capitalization reported environmental data through CDP in 2023
  • USA, China, Japan, UK and Germany lead the way as home to the most disclosing companies
  • Data gained from disclosure is essential to tracking progress against the Paris Agreement and the first Global Stocktake, set to conclude at COP28
  • New Chief Executive Officer Sherry Madera shares CDP’s plans for its new future-proofed platform as demand for environmental data grows and ahead of incoming regulation

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 18 October 2023 – Companies are reporting their environmental data in record numbers, with over 23,000 companies – including listed companies worth US$67 trillion (over 66% of global market capitalization) – disclosing through CDP in 2023, with the urgency for global climate action clear in what is set to be the warmest year on record.

Disclosures are up 24% from 2022 and 300% since the Paris Agreement
Disclosures are up 24% from 2022 and 300% since the Paris Agreement

This represents a 24% increase in the number of companies that disclosed in 2022 and an increase of over 300% through CDP, the global non-profit that runs the world’s environmental disclosure system for companies, cities, states and regions, since the signing of the Paris Agreement in 2015.

The positive global trend for corporate transparency and accountability continues, with companies disclosing through CDP based across the world, representing many tens of thousands of subsidiaries and divisions, and hundreds of thousands of facilities.

Most countries have seen growth in the number of disclosing companies, including a considerable increase in Asia, where the Republic of Korea and Cambodia more than doubled the number of disclosing companies since the previous year. The USA, China and Japan continue to make up the top three disclosing countries.

However, while reporting in three key areas has increased – on climate change, water security and deforestation – only 1% of companies reported on all three areas, underlining the need to enable better disclosure on nature.

City, state and region disclosure has so far reached over 1,100 in close to 100 countries. Reflecting the global reach of CDP’s sub-national work, this covers cities from Austin to Auckland, and states and regions in each continent – such as Latin America, where nearly 90% of the Brazilian Amazon is covered by regions reporting to CDP. CDP-ICLEI Track, the world’s leading climate reporting platform for cities, and CDP’s disclosure platform for states and regions remain open for 2023 disclosure.

Sherry Madera, Chief Executive Officer at CDP said: “With over 23,000 businesses disclosing through CDP this year, it is clear that sustainability – and the data that underpins it – is not a ‘nice to have’, but an essential part of long-term success in the business community that is showing no sign of slowing down – nor should it.

“IPCC forecasts on our world’s climate trajectory make for grim reading in what is set to be the warmest year on record. To take decisive action for the future of our planet, we need organizations to be measuring and managing where they are on their sustainability journey through disclosure.

“Without data we lack accountability. This accountability is vital and timely especially ahead of COP28 in Dubai which will deliver the first Global Stocktake. We hope to see a common roadmap for the global community to work collaboratively to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement and CDP stands ready to continue to be the world’s platform for sustainability data disclosure.”

Michelle Papayannakos, BBC Group Senior Sustainability Manager said:

“CDP has really helped the BBC to engage internally on climate change, increasing our maturity as an organization and providing a robust valuation of our current activities.

“CDP is also a core part of our decarbonization strategy for our supply chain, asking our top 450 suppliers to also disclose has enhanced engagement, transparency of data and most importantly, led to a ripple effect of development and action on climate change.”

As the global landscape of mandatory disclosure expands, CDP is committed to align with the global baseline of climate-related financial disclosures delivered through the ISSB Standards to support companies and reduce the reporting burden, and ensuring investors and regulators have access to the data they need across regions and regulatory requirements.

Already aligned with the TCFD recommendations, CDP’s 2024 questionnaire will align with the ISSB’s climate disclosure standard (IFRS S2) and from next year will start to reflect the TNFD framework, encouraging more companies to report across both climate and nature matters. CDP has also committed to reflecting the SEC’s upcoming climate disclosure rule and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards in its disclosure system .

Emmanuel Faber, Chair of the ISSB, said: “The demand from global capital markets for robust, consistent and accurate climate-related information is higher than ever, and with it the need for a disclosure eco-system that is easy to navigate for companies.

“CDP’s work towards alignment with the IFRS S2 is incredibly welcome and timely, as it will further ease the reporting burden for thousands of companies, moving us one step closer to a common language for disclosures, while improving the consistency of climate-related information for investors and accelerating their access to this data. As companies prepare to implement the ISSB standards, it is positive to see yet another year of growth in voluntary disclosure through CDP.”

Sherry Madera continues: “CDP recognizes its unique role and responsibility to accelerate action as the driving force for collecting primary environmental data from organizations for over 20 years.

“As the demand for sustainability data gets increasingly intense and complicated for organizations to negotiate, we have the expertise to prepare organizations – large and small – to meet the needs of their stakeholders. This is why in 2024, we will be making it easier and quicker to disclose and access data, through a new framework on a new and enhanced technology platform.

“These improvements will enable CDP to continue to push boundaries in environmental reporting and helps organizational leaders deliver impact for their company and for the planet.”
