SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 5 November 2021 – On November 4, TRON made an announcement on Twitter, cross-chain scaling solution BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) has been compatible with one of the mainstream public chains Binance Smart Chain (BSC), which means global users can directly transfer mainstream assets between TRON and BSC in a decentralized approach without any restrictions through BTTC.
According to our sources, BTTC is co-developed by the core teams of BitTorrent and TRON, and is the first heterogeneous cross-chain interoperability protocol in the industry. It features a PoS consensus mechanism and multi-node validation, and supports off-chain matching and smart contract extension through sidechains. These have endowed BTTC with core competencies such as a heterogeneous cross-chain structure, fast and cost-effective transfers, and asset security.
BSC is a community-driven, decentralized and open source public infrastructure platform. With over 1000 dApps building on top of it, BSC bolsters a community of 100M DeFi users.
The integration of BSC into BTTC will facilitate the circulation and exchange of cross-chain assets. The integration of more mainstream public chains like BSC into BTTC will knock down barriers standing in the way of information and asset exchange, enable smooth exchange of data and value, and further mitigate the island effect among different chains.
In his open letter to the community, TRON founder Justin Sun says, The BitTorrent Chain (BTTC) provides a scaling solution for mainstream blockchains around the world,and more importantly, enable heterogeneous cross-chain communication that is decentralized and free of trust, ushering in a new era of “connecting all chains”. It is safe to say that the launch of BTTC marks TRON’s first stride towards an era where all chains are connected.
According to public data, the recent achievements of TRON’s ecosystem are impressive. The number of its public-chain users has exceeded 58 million, pushing the number of total transactions beyond 2.5 billion, and its total value locked (TVL) has also surged past $11.5 billion. In addition to the public chain, TRON is also a leading player in other races such as DApps, DeFi, GameFi, and NFT, and boasts the largest circulating supply of stablecoins across the globe.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 4 November 2021 – Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, which was recognized as the World’s Most Sustainable Corporation in 2021 by Corporate Knights, will kick off its Innovation Summit Hong Kong 2021 on Thursday, November 11, with a call to accelerate digitalization for a more sustainable future. The announcement is supported by the results of a decarbonization perception survey conducted ahead of the summit, which found that 60% of respondents use digital solutions to help their companies optimize energy efficiency and achieve their decarbonization goals.
As part of the Innovation Summit World Tour 2021, Innovation Summit Hong Kong 2021 will bring together numerous industry leaders who will discuss ways to harness digital technologies to address common climate challenges and turn net-zero ambitions into reality. The event will help customers, partners and industry stakeholders understand how to take the all-important next steps towards making innovative changes and achieving their business and environmental goals.
Schneider Electric is also showcasing its commitment to sustainability, efficiency, digitization and innovation with a revamped Innovation Hub in Hong Kong. It combines immersive and interactive experiences with world-class facilities, giving visitors an in-depth, tailored exploratory demonstration of the latest innovations and philosophy.
“Like the pandemic, climate change is a global crisis affecting all of us, in every country, business, and community. Sustainability will soon be one of the most important sources of competitive advantage for the majority of companies. Digitization has already allowed many organizations to react and transform effectively and enabled some to thrive in an uncertain business environment. Digital technologies and innovations have already changed how we work and live together. They can also positively change our impact on the environment, and drive sustainable recovery and growth to create more efficient, resilient and sustainable businesses,” said Jonathan Chiu, President of Schneider Electric Hong Kong.
Critical need for decarbonization
To pinpoint the perception of decarbonization among Hong Kong businesses, Schneider Electric polled the opinion of nearly 300 people at the ReThink HK 2021 sustainable development business forum and expo in October.
Some 60% of the respondents, who included business leaders and environmental experts, said that digitization could help their company optimize energy efficiency and achieve decarbonization. The key factors cited for successfully moving to a low-carbon footprint included management & strategy (58%) and technology & innovation (57%).
The majority of survey respondents agreed that when technology is carefully aligned with business and environmental goals, astounding productivity gains and cost savings are possible. Interestingly, 57% have already implemented an energy efficiency enhancement solution of some kind to reduce their carbon footprint. Nearly half of those surveyed (45%) are planning to implement sustainable long-term energy management, and about a quarter (24%) are using substitute energy sources, such and fuel-switching, to achieve their environmental goals.
“The survey demonstrates the critical role that decarbonization is playing – and will continue to play – in achieving the HKSAR Government’s net zero carbon emission target by 2050, which was reinforced with proactive strategies and emission reduction measures during the 2021 Policy Address. Sustainability is in Schneider Electric’s DNA, and we are committed to helping customers in a broad spectrum of industries to strategize, digitize and decarbonize with innovative solutions and services. What organizations need today is a trusted partner who combines strategic planning with a proven track record of implementing solutions that deliver fast, tangible and sustainable outcomes,” said Chiu.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 4 November 2021 – The real estate sector has a significant role to play in addressing the implications of climate change following the sobering assessment of climate risk by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and ahead of the upcoming COP26 summit in Glasgow. In its recently released report titled Climate Risk in Asia Pacific: Real (E)state of Emergency, Cushman & Wakefield looks at the current state of climate risks and these impacts on real estate, market drivers and pathways to meaningful climate action in the region, as well as how property firms can navigate their journeys of lower emissions and climate risk management.
The Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released in August 2021 highlighted worsening climate change, imploring for more rapid reduction of carbon emissions to avoid potentially catastrophic impacts to the planet. The UN labelled the report a ‘code red’ and climate experts said it had effectively brought forward the risks that were forecast to arrive in 30 years, to just 10 years.
“What the AR6 has told us is that extreme weather events and accompanying regulation and litigation are going to happen significantly sooner than we had anticipated, and that’s a wake-up call,” said Rebecca Jinks, Head of Sustainability, Australia at Cushman & Wakefield. “While the report said that global warming of at least 1.5 degrees Celsius is inevitable, if the world moves to rapidly cut emissions and achieve net zero by 2050, this can limit further global warming.”
According to the report, the built environment demands around 40% of the world’s extracted materials, while waste from demolition and construction represents the largest single waste stream in many countries. Building and construction are responsible for 39% of global carbon emissions, with operational emissions accounting for 28%. The remaining 11% comes from embodied carbon emissions, or upfront carbon that is associated with materials and construction processes throughout the building lifecycle and value chain. Reducing carbon emissions associated with the property industry is therefore crucial throughout the property’s life cycle from the initial planning and investment, to building operations, refurbishment and final demolition.
There is further impetus for the property industry in Asia Pacific to act as many of the world’s most emissions-intensive economies reside in this region. Governments and the private sector across Asia Pacific are also moving to mitigate the cause and effect of climate change, with the property industry traversing this divide.
The financial and non-financial risks of climate change are also sharply rising which is driving demand for sustainability due diligence and mitigation planning among real estate investors. While new buildings generally perform higher on sustainability metrics, most buildings in Asia Pacific economies are ageing. However, it takes fewer emissions to upgrade existing stock which presents significant overall emissions reduction opportunities.
According to Alton Wong, Co-Head of Sustainability Services Platform, Greater China, Cushman & Wakefield: “The large pension funds are placing pressure on developers and owners to adopt strong ESG principles to attract their investment. Additionally, the government and local authorities in China are encouraging owners and developers to address property sustainability, both from a development perspective and operationally.
Cushman & Wakefield has seen a significant increase in investor and owner enquiries for support on embedding ESG due diligence screening into existing processes to evaluate existing or prospective investments. To address these enquiries, the firm has adopted the following approach to support clients through their journey of climate change related to financial and non-financial risk management:
Cushman & Wakefield has also committed to industry-leading science-based targets and reaching net zero emissions across its value chain by 2050. They will be focusing their efforts on its corporate offices and operations by committing to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 market-based GHG emissions 50% by 2030 from a 2019 base year. The firm’s science-based targets will not only reduce absolute GHG emissions from its corporate operations, but will also include the facilities it manages on behalf of its clients, some of the world’s largest real estate owners and occupiers.
Leading by example, the firm commits to partnering with its clients (representing 70% of its scope 3 value chain emissions) to set their own science-based targets by 2025. Notably, approximately 99% of Cushman & Wakefield’s emissions come from facilities it manages on behalf of clients, and the firm is committed to actualizing its vision of a sustainable future that extends beyond its own corporate footprint.
Additionally, by 2050, the firm pledges to achieve net zero emissions across its entire value chain, encompassing all direct and indirect business elements that contribute to GHG emissions (scopes 1, 2 and 3). This target was pledged through the Race to Zero campaign and the SBTi’s Business Ambition for 1.5°C pathway—initiatives using climate science frameworks to reach net zero in a global effort to avoid the most catastrophic impacts of climate change.
