SPX’s logistics network ensures that local small and independent sellers, brands, and customers have access to reliable, affordable, and efficient delivery services, regardless of location. With in-house technology, enabling automated sorting at its SPX Express Sorting Center at Pulau Indah (Selangor), and sheer commitment of SPX’s growing community of diverse couriers and sorters, sellers have been able to sustain longer term growth with faster average delivery times of ecommerce orders.
“Our couriers are the backbone behind the logistics infrastructure we provide that helps many underserved sellers in the Malaysian digital economy,” said Cheah Lee Sun, Head of SPX Malaysia. “We invite everyone to join us in celebrating our everyday heroes — our couriers — who help connect small businesses and shoppers across the country, for their hard work and relentless commitment to build relationships and serve our communities.”
Since 2021, SPX has been committed to promoting inclusion in the workplace, launching initiatives that provide flexibility and foster a culture of community building for our sorters, couriers, riders, supervisors and shift leads. SPX has made impressive strides especially in the support of women, with a 40-fold increase in women placed in all kinds of management and operational roles. Today, a record 40% sorters nationwide and 13% couriers are women.
Siti Nurul Shakila, full time courier driver at SPX’ Subang Bestari hub, holds a Goods Driving Licence (GDL) and drives a Luton truck to deliver parcels to the Setia Alam community. “The flexible working hours allows me to balance between caring for my sick sister in Hulu Langat and delivering parcels. Nevertheless, I always make sure I fulfil my daily KPIs by ensuring all parcels are delivered to customers by the end of the day.”
On what life is like behind the scenes during SPX Delivers Love month, Shakila says, “I deliver an average of 200 parcels daily to houses, offices and apartments. This number can increase during peak periods such as Pay Day Sale. Despite the high volume, I am committed to giving excellent customer service by handling parcels with care, remembering each customer’s delivery preferences and specific instructions. I feel this is important as it builds a connection and trust with customers when I deliver parcels.”
Behind every courier who greets the customer at the last mile, there are people like Numy Elwin Mohd Deli, Unloading Supervisor, who ensure parcels are handled right every step of the way: “I maintain a strict approach because I believe in the seriousness of our work. I also emphasise the importance of respect among team members while offering a helping hand to those who may be exhausted, especially during high parcel volume periods. This is essential for fostering a positive working environment and ensuring smooth operations.”
Love for SPX couriers poured in within hours of SPX’ encouragement from urban and rural places alike in Kedah, Kelantan, Terengganu, Melaka, and Klang Valley. “Thank you for always sending items to my house in good condition. May Mr. Encik be given a long life, be blessed with sustenance, be given good health, and be made easy in all matters in this world and the hereafter. ” says a customer from Hulu Langat, Selangor.

Laos Navigates Mid-Range in Sustainable Competitiveness Journey

Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment Holds Final Consultation Meeting On The National Plastic Action Plan For Laos

In the ever-evolving landscape of sustainable development, the Global Sustainable Competitiveness Index (GSCI) serves as a compass, guiding nations towards a balanced and eco-friendly future. This year, Laos ranked 101 out of 180 evaluated countries.

This mid-range placement brings to light both the achievements and challenges that Laos has been facing. With rich biodiversity and natural resources, the country has the potential to harness its natural capital for sustainable growth. However, challenges in resource efficiency and the precarious economic situation highlight areas where improvements are needed.

Every year, the GSCI evaluates countries based on 190 indicators covering natural capital, resource efficiency, social capital, intellectual capital, innovation, economic sustainability, and governance performance. 

In 2023, Sweden leads the index, and Scandinavia dominates the top rankings. Meanwhile, China (30) surpassed the US (32) by two positions, excelling in intellectual capital but lagging in natural capital and resource efficiency. 

Despite positive trends in some areas, natural capital is deteriorating globally, while the climate change section emphasizes the urgency of transitioning from fossil fuels. Simulations suggest a fossil tax, with revenue used for renewables and income redistribution, could replace fossils by 2035, benefiting the economy and reducing global energy costs.

The GSCI-based bond rating also proposes adjusting credit ratings based on sustainable competitiveness, considering factors such as natural resource reliance and biodiversity. This could reduce circularity between credit ratings, capital costs, and debt, according to the report.

In the global picture, Laos’ sustainable competitiveness journey remains an ongoing narrative with room for growth and improvement. By focusing on enhancing resource efficiency, fostering innovation, and strengthening governance structures, Laos can steadily climb up the index in the upcoming years.

Examining global trends, the GSCI report reveals a small majority (52 percent) of nations are experiencing positive developments. For Laos, leveraging its strengths and addressing its weaknesses can contribute to this positive momentum.

His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of DIEZ, said the launch of Oraseya Capital and the creation of a US$136 million VC fund for technology startups represents a strategic move that aligns with the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum to support the growth of the Dubai’s digital economy sector.

“The establishment of this VC fund serves as a major boost for accomplished companies looking to build a global presence. It will play a pivotal role in strengthening Dubai’s status as a nurturing ground for the most innovative, advanced and creative enterprises worldwide,” His Highness concluded.

One of the fund’s core objectives is to address the existing gaps in corporate finance, particularly during these crucial developmental stages.

Abdul Aziz Abdulla Al Ghurair, Chairman of Dubai Chambers, said: “The launch of DIEZ’s investment fund reflects Dubai’s growing position as a leading destination for investments and a global hub for financing technology startups.”

He added: “We remain committed to achieving our strategic priorities by attracting international businesses and investments to Dubai and supporting the continuous growth of the digital economy. We greatly value DIEZ’s initiative, which represents an advanced step towards enhancing Dubai’s global competitiveness in attracting and financing technology startups.”

Dr. Mohammed Al Zarooni, Executive Chairman of DIEZ, said: “Oraseya Capital’s core values include effective engagement, support for modern technology and the cultivation of creative ideas. The emphasis is on fostering a collaborative ecosystem for innovative entrepreneurs to exchange ideas, knowledge and resources. This initiative prioritises adaptability by remaining open to new opportunities and contemporary technologies that align with the fund’s objectives. Integrity stands at the forefront, with a commitment to upholding the highest standards of transparency, all in service of supporting and financing technology companies at the emirate’s level.

“The VC fund’s primary focus lies in the strategic investment of startups exhibiting substantial growth potential. Our goal is to empower entrepreneurs from various corners of the world to nurture and establish innovative enterprises. This endeavour is instrumental in strengthening Oraseya Capital’s standing as a premier venture investment company for startups, eagerly sought after by both entrepreneurs and investors alike, all of whom aspire to reshape the landscape and future of advanced technology sectors,” he added.

The VC fund excels at providing support to companies that are part of its investment portfolio by adopting a direct guidance approach and active participation to help companies ensure their success and growth instead of investing in assets only.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 10 November 2023 – The 8th edition of the Singapore Fintech Festival (SFF) is gearing up to be a global showcase of fintech excellence, and Italy’s participation promises to be a pivotal highlight of the event. Scheduled to take place from 15 to 17 November 2023 at the Singapore Expo Halls 1-6, this internationally acclaimed event will be the epicentre of innovation, technology, and finance.

Organised by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, Elevandi, and Constellar and in collaboration with the Association of Banks in Singapore, SFF will bring together a dynamic global community to engage, connect, and collaborate on issues relating to the development of financial services, public policy, and technology. More than 62,000 participants from over 115 countries are expected to attend, with over 570 exhibitor booths including 25 international country pavilions.

INNOVATION UNLEASHED AT THE ITALIAN PAVILION

The theme for this year, “Inclusive, Resilient, and Sustainable,” underscores the significance of collaboration and highlights the essential prerequisites for shaping the future of the worldwide financial ecosystem. As such, one of the key highlights of this year’s edition is the impressive presence of the best and brightest of Italian fintech startups.

This year, for the second time, SFF will host the Italian Trade Agency that will coordinate an official Italian Pavilion with the support of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and in collaboration with the Italian Association of Fintech & Insurtech (AssoFintech) and the Bank of Italy.

Singapore is a crucial global player, offering invaluable talent, expertise, and experience for startups as they navigate their growth journey.

AssoFintech will be participating at SFF for the second time, following its significant impact at the previous edition. Their participation had set the stage for compelling interactions with the local authorities, leading to a successful signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Singapore Fintech Association earlier this year in March 2023.

Commenting on the exceptional quality and presence of the Italian companies at SFF 2023, Dante Brandi, Ambassador of Italy to Singapore and Brunei said, “We are once again excited to be a part of the Singapore Fintech Festival, a major global event shaping the future of financial services.

We firmly believe that effective partnerships can be forged with our Singaporean counterparts. The SFF leverages on the role of Singapore as a world’s leading city in the fintech field, bringing invaluable knowledge and experience to the table. We are therefore eager to be part of an event redefining the future of financial services through the exchange of expertise and innovative solutions.”

Alessandra Perrazzelli, Bank of Italy, Deputy Governor said, “Innovation is a catalyst for change and in order to bring its benefits to the financial sector it should be orderly, sound, sustainable and ethical. We are doing our best to support responsible innovation. In this direction, the Bank of Italy has set up an integrated system of innovation facilitators (Fintech Channel, Milano Hub, Sandbox and Italian Payments Committee), to understand the needs of operators, facilitate interaction and cross-contamination, and to support the various development stages of Fintech projects toward a good innovation.”

Claudia Segre, Vice President of AssoFintech said, “We have always been committed to creating a new culture in financial services through Fintech, which for banks means investing in technology and, above all, reforming organisational processes from within for sustainable innovation in favour of value creation for investors. But Fintech is much more than that, and AssoFintech sees both the key sub-sectors represented within it: digital payments, lending and insurtech, but also the other sectors such as asset & wealth management, regtech, capital market & trading and open banking thanks to a dense network of foreign and academic collaborations.”

ITALY’S FINTECH IMPACT IN SINGAPORE

Italy has been making substantial strides in the fintech sector, especially in lending to Italian SMEs and supply chain finance through fintech platforms and equity crowdfunding. In the first half of 2023 alone, these innovations neared 2.8 billion euros, contributing to a cumulative total of more than 17 billion euros since the inception of the fintech lending market in 2016. The insights and data collected further solidify the consistent market growth over the years, with figures progressively increasing from 5.2 billion euros in 2022, to 3.5 billion in 2021, and 2.4 billion in 2020.

Ilaria Piccinni, Deputy Trade Commissioner for Singapore and the Philippines at the Italian Trade Agency, shared her insights on Italy’s fintech impact in Singapore, saying, “Italy’s presence at the Singapore Fintech Festival exemplifies our commitment to fostering international collaborations and showcasing our nation’s innovative fintech solutions.
