TSH Biopharm Honored for Social Empowerment and Green Leadership at the Asia Responsible Enterprise Awards 2025

BANGKOK, Aug. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — TSH Biopharm Corporation Ltd. has been recognized with dual honors at the Asia Responsible Enterprise Awards 2025, receiving accolades for the Green Leadership and Social Empowerment categories. The awards reflect the company’s growing influence as a purpose-driven pharmaceutical firm that integrates sustainability and human well-being into its corporate DNA.

TSH Biopharm’s Green Leadership accolade celebrates its signature initiative, “Sowing with Heart,” which redefines the connection between health and the environment. In a pioneering effort, the company partnered with organic farmers in Miaoli’s Formosan leopard cat conservation area, supporting pesticide-free rice cultivation. The harvested rice is transformed into thoughtfully crafted gift sets—ranging from fermented rice beverages to eco-friendly soap products—whose proceeds are donated in full to elder care organizations. By uniting biodiversity protection, local farming, and public health, TSH Biopharm demonstrates that environmental stewardship can be deeply human at its core.

Equally impactful is the company’s award-winning “Empowered Journeys” initiative, which earned it recognition for Social Empowerment. Launched in collaboration with the Old Five Old Foundation, the program operates mobile grocery trucks that serve isolated seniors in Taiwan’s rural regions. Unlike traditional charity models, this service restores autonomy by allowing elders to choose their own supplies. With TSH Biopharm employees volunteering as delivery companions, the initiative extends beyond material support, offering emotional connection and dignity to the elderly—an approach that reshapes how businesses engage with aging populations.

The success of both programs highlights TSH Biopharm’s long-standing commitment to values-driven leadership. Its environmental project rejuvenates fallow land and raises public awareness about endangered species, while its social initiative brings healthcare philosophy into daily life, affirming that true wellness can flourish with community support.

As TSH Biopharm continues to evolve, it remains steadfast in its mission: to build a future where healthcare is not only about treatment, but also about creating harmony between people and the planet.

“Hidden Hands” Cave in Laos Reveals Prehistoric Art

In the central Khammouane Province, a cave known locally as Tham Pha Mue, “Hidden Hands”, has turned out to be one of the most important prehistoric discoveries in Laos. 

A recent report by National Geographic highlights just how remarkable this site is: over 200 ancient rock paintings, including handprints, animals, and mysterious symbols, some placed so high up that the people who made them must have used scaffolding.

The cave was first found in the 1990s by a hunter from Baan Khoun Ngeun, who was chasing mountain goats. But it wasn’t until 2024 that an international team of archaeologists formally studied the site. Since then, it’s become clear that Tham Pha Mue is one of the richest rock art sites in the country, and possibly in all of mainland Southeast Asia.

Many of the paintings are red or orange, made with natural pigments. The most common images are hand stencils, some with shortened fingers, others tiny enough to be from children. There are also stick-like human figures, animals (especially what looks like mountain goats), and geometric shapes like zigzags and dots.

Some of the handprints are placed over 14 meters above the ground, meaning the artists likely climbed or built something to reach those spots. 

One unique image shows a closed fist, something never seen before in rock art from this region, and another shows a hand wearing what might be a bracelet. These little details suggest the art meant something deeper than just decoration.

What’s also interesting is how similar some of these paintings are to rock art in Thailand and Malaysia. It points to the idea that prehistoric communities across Southeast Asia may have shared certain styles or symbols, even if they never met face to face.

So far, scientists haven’t been able to date the paintings exactly, but they’re planning to use a technique called uranium-series dating, which measures mineral deposits that formed over the paintings. 

If it works, it could finally give us solid dates for when the art was made, something that’s been missing from mainland Southeast Asia until now.

The cave isn’t just a prehistoric site, though. A modern image of a white Buddha was added around 2012 by local villagers, showing that the space still holds spiritual meaning today, just as it likely did thousands of years ago.

The project is being led by experts from Laos, Spain, and France, and includes community involvement from nearby villages. Locals have been trained to help protect the site, and there are early talks about controlled, small-scale tourism in the future.

Immersive Store Design Featuring Art, Displays, and Activations

Rooted in TUMI’s commitment to purposeful, performance-driven innovation, each element of the flagship’s immersive design—from the sculptural façade to curved LED screens and evocative Journey art installation—seamlessly blends the brand’s signature minimalist luxury with modern architectural aesthetics.

Echoing the sculptural elegance of 19 Degree, the flagship’s bold exterior greets visitors with a cascading metallic panel façade defined by fluid contours. This striking design detail is a nod to the collection’s signature curvature and reflects the brand’s commitment to thoughtful craftsmanship—starting from the outside in. Conveying effortless elegance in motion, refined scenario-based displays showcase the full range of TUMI men’s, women’s and travel accessories throughout thoughtfully designed spaces. A distinctive open-concept VIP area presents meticulously curated premium travel and luggage offerings, while clients can visit the interactive materials wall to experience TUMI’s innovations in cutting-edge design material technology firsthand.

Unique to the Shanghai flagship is a dedicated art installation space that bridges TUMI’s design philosophy and local artisan culture. Rooted in respect for material integrity and purposeful craftsmanship, the debut work, Journey, was created from bamboo by renowned contemporary artist Xu Fei. Exploring the intersection of movement, intention, and form, Journey draws on the ancient Chinese cosmological concept of ’round heaven and square earth’—a balance of fluidity and grounding that echoes TUMI’s approach to design. The installation embodies the brand’s belief that travel is not just about where you’re going, but how you move through the world—with clarity, resilience, and meaning.
