New York, New York – Newsfile Corp. – July 5, 2023 – WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Canopy Growth Corporation (NASDAQ: CGC) between May 31, 2022 and May 10, 2023, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important July 24, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Canopy Growth 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 Canopy Growth class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=16092 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 July 24, 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 handle 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 throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) there were material weaknesses in Canopy Growth’s internal controls over accounting and financial reporting; (2) as a result, Canopy Growth improperly booked sales of its BioSteel Sports Nutrition Inc. (“BioSteel”) business unit (a sports nutrition and hydration brand originally formulated for professional athletes); (3) as a result, Canopy Growth’s revenue was overstated; and (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements about Canopy Growth’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
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.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 5 July 2023 – The circular economy is an uprising trend across the globe, not only is it a regenerative approach to production and consumption, but it also encourages creativity and cross-sector collaboration that, in the long run, would create new jobs and make business operations more sustainable and competitive. However, this transformation requires systemic changes from enterprises and the active participation of stakeholders across different value chains.

He mentioned, “The restructuring of global value chains is reshaping the international production, trade, and investment landscape. It is important that companies and governments start to re-assess risks and opportunities with a view to creating a circular economy that supports climate resilience and global sustainability.”
Ms. Teresa Yang, Vice Chairman of Esquel Group, gave the second keynote speech, “Accelerating Circularity Through Transformative Technologies and Business Model Innovations“. She remarked, “Our dedication to sustainability is not motivated by regulatory compliance. Rather, it is embedded in our corporate vision and represents our unwavering commitment to responsible business practices. We believe that by investing in new technology, the long-term benefits of circularity will be rewarding not just for us as a company, but also for the customers and wider society.”
Mr. Kim Siu, the Director of Business Innovation and Planning at Watsons Water, shared the company’s circularity initiative in the keynote speech “Integrating Circularity into Long-term Business Strategies”. He said, “We have learnt that to create a scalable circularity initiative, we cannot leave out the buy-in from top management and participation of customers. It won’t be a successful engagement if we do not put ourselves in their shoes and think of a plan that fulfil their needs.”
Open Floor Moderated Session Reflected on the Factors that Might Contribute to Advancing Circular Economy Transformation in Hong Kong
During the Open Floor Moderated Session hosted by Professor Wai-Fung Lam, Director of the Centre for Civil Society and Governance, HKU, the panelists discussed various aspects of progressing circular economy transformation in Hong Kong under the topic of “Building a Vibrant Ecosystem for Circular Economy”.

They explored the opportunities the circular economy could bring to local businesses, sharing interesting business cases that demonstrated the roles of start-ups and technology in building ecosystems.
The moderator, Professor Wai-Fung Lam, concluded the discussion, “We are extremely grateful for the sharing today by all our panelists, your experiences are inspirational for our audiences to go beyond understanding circularity as a concept and see the potential for scaling resource regeneration and new business opportunities through value chain collaboration. This form of evidence-based knowledge transfer is exactly what our project is aiming for. We believe more can be achieved if we let the stakeholders take the steering wheel and together build the ecosystem needed for all-rounded win-win solutions.”

Linklaters has signed up for DHL’s GoGreen Plus service to reduce carbon emissions
This partnership signifies both parties’ clear commitment to combat climate change within its own value chain
Sustainable aviation fuel cuts emissions by up to 80 percent compared to conventional jet fuel
SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 5 July 2023 – DHL Express, the world’s leading international express service provider, has onboarded new customer, Linklaters, on its GoGreen Plus service to reduce carbon emissions for its time-definite international (TDI) shipments through the use of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF). A leading global law firm, Linklaters aims to reduce (‘inset’) the carbon emissions associated with their shipments across the Asia Pacific and United Arab Emirates (UAE) regions.
DHL Express onboards Linklaters for GoGreen Plus service
As a firm with a significant global footprint, Linklaters understands the importance of the changing climate and strong environmental management. In June 2021, Linklaters adopted firmwide carbon reduction targets to meet by April 2030 – approved by the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) – including to reduce emissions, and this move further demonstrates the firm’s commitment to reducing Scope 3 emissions by 50%.
Ken Lee, CEO DHL Express Asia Pacific, says: “Sustainability is increasingly becoming an important part of the business for most of our customers. Companies are now more committed than ever to reducing their environmental impact, thus it is important that we provide them with feasible solutions to do so. SAF is our key lever to improve carbon emissions, and we are proud to be the first global express courier to enable our customers to do.”
Launched this year, GoGreen Plus enables customers to reduce their Scope 3 emissions through insetting. This means that customers can effectively bring down carbon emissions that occur in their supply chain by choosing the amount of SAF they want to use for their shipments. SAF is currently the only scalable solution for the next years to come, given that it is the only option for long-range flights. SAF can also reduce lifecycle emissions of typical aviation fuel emissions by up to 70-80%.
Robert Elliot, Partner and member of Science-Based Targets Steering Group at Linklaters, says: “Linklaters is proud to partner with DHL in this innovative and market-leading initiative. As a responsible business, we have a global commitment to reduce our environmental impact and associated greenhouse gas emissions – collaborating with the right partners in our value chain makes an important contribution as we strive to meet our Science-Based Targets by 2030. We wish the DHL team the very best as they raise awareness about GoGreen Plus and hope that more organizations support this initiative to build momentum behind it and collectively help to increase the pace of positive change.”
DHL Group is committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 and is investing a total of EUR 7 billion in carbon emissions reduction initiatives. With approximately 90% of its carbon footprint derived from the air network, viable and sustainable air transport solutions are important for creating cleaner and greener logistics operations. This includes two of the largest ever deals with bp and Neste, who will supply DHL with more than 800 million liters of sustainable aviation fuel until 2026. This contributes to the interim target of using 30 percent SAF for all air transport by 2030. Equally, DHL Express has also partnered with Eviation, who will deliver up to 12 electric cargo planes from 2027 onwards.
