Aruba Teams Up with Chunghwa Telecom Singapore to Help Taiwanese Enterprises Expand Into Southeast Asia

Chunghwa Telecom Singapore engages Aruba Managed Services to help customers manage overseas sites, accelerating global strategic deployment

TAIPEI, TAIWAN – Media OutReach – 15 September 2022 – Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company (NYSE:HPQ), today announced its partnership with Chunghwa Telecom Singapore to provide managed services for global enterprise customers, enabling them to deploy modern networks with increased flexibility, agility, and security as they expand into overseas markets. With Aruba Managed Services, customers can focus on developing their core businesses while expanding into Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and Vietnam, speeding up the execution of their global expansion strategies.

In 2016, Taiwan launched the “New Southbound Policy” initiative, which has driven Taiwanese enterprises to make inroads into the Southeast Asian market. However, unforeseen factors, such as turbulent market dynamics and unpredictable pandemic-related restrictions and policies, have increased challenges faced by enterprises in their market expansion efforts, such as budget accuracies, talent shortages, network complexity, and others. Many companies have thus adopted new ways to manage and maintain their network infrastructure, including integrating international leased lines with the Internet, high-speed wireless workplaces, remote secure collaboration, and flexible payment solutions to drive business mobility as well as provide better network experiences for customers and employees.

“We offer one-stop services from edge to cloud to help enterprises expand their business,” said Magic Hsu, Director and General Manager of Growth and Emerging Markets and Taiwan at Aruba. “The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the increased popularity of managed services in Taiwan and ASEAN countries. Aruba continues to work with new partners to help enterprises strengthen their continuous operations capability, thereby driving their business growth.”

Chunghwa Telecom Singapore, Aruba’s Managed Services Provider (MSP), provides fully hosted multinational network services for enterprises, helps customers manage their overseas sites including transnational factories, sales offices, branches, and data centers. In addition, Chunghwa Telecom offers flexible payment options that allow businesses to expand their business more easily. At the same time, the full range of managed services provide customers with fast and efficient modern network management, which can be remotely adjusted and locally supported when issues arise, thus reducing overseas manpower and initial operating costs.

Aruba’s integrated infrastructure can integrate routers, controllers, software-defined network gateways, and private virtual networks at different locations including company headquarters, branches, and remote offices. IT staff can keep track of the operations of wired and wireless network devices on a single management platform anytime and anywhere.

“Chunghwa Telecom Singapore is equipped with professional network design and management experiences. With Aruba’s NaaS (Network as a Service) solution, we believe we can help our customers adapt to constantly evolving business needs and improve their productivity and business agility, thus creating new revenue sources for our customers and create a multi-win situation for our customers, partners and government.” said Roger Liu, General Manager of Chunghwa Telecom Singapore.

Nature Positive Study: Asia’s Biggest Companies Have More to Do to Address Their Biodiversity-Related Issues

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 15 September 2022 – The Asian Markets Biodiversity Report Card – the first evaluation of the progress of Asia’s largest companies in tackling biodiversity-related issues by the RSK Group – suggests that fewer than 50% of organisations are taking sufficient steps to protect biodiversity and address their impact on the natural world. The report determines the number of organisations referencing biodiversity, where biodiversity features in materiality assessments, and the efforts taken to identify and address biodiversity impacts.

In the lead-up to the 15th meeting of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (COP15) in Montreal, Canada, the RSK Group – with a family of more than 150 environmental, engineering, and technical services businesses – hopes to raise awareness of the urgent need for biodiversity protection to be embedded in business decision-making.

Undertaken by Nature Positive, a specialist consultancy under the RSK Group that enables businesses to understand their specific link to nature, the report consists of an analysis supported by six interviews with sustainability experts in the region. The interviews included several conducted by the Thailand Development Research Institute (TDRI), with whom Nature Positive partnered to gain further insight into Asia. The report methodology involved a review of publicly available sources such as website content and annual reports relating to 192 companies listed on the Japanese, Thai, Hong Kong and Singapore stock exchanges.

Key findings of the report include:

● While 70% (135) of the 192 companies reviewed across all four stock exchanges referenced biodiversity on their websites and published reports, only 42% (80) of the 192 companies were given a ‘1 rating’ by the report for highlighting biodiversity as a material issue. Of the 80, only 4% recognise biodiversity as a priority.

● 52% of companies either did not mention biodiversity in their public materials or are just using it as a passing mention.

● 77% of companies reviewed on the Japanese stock exchange highlighted biodiversity as a material issue and were given the top rating, compared to 33% in Singapore, 30% in Hong Kong and 28% in Thailand.

● Of 80 companies reviewed that were found to highlight biodiversity as a material issue, only 36 companies (45%) display active conservation or restoration activities. Although this figure is encouraging, companies cannot be sure that these activities sufficiently offset their impacts due to the absence of baseline assessments.

● Sectors with more obvious direct interactions or dependencies with the natural world – such as consumer staples, energy and materials – were more likely
to discuss biodiversity, with 50% or more of companies in these sectors recognising biodiversity as a material issue. Sectors with fewer direct impacts, such as healthcare and IT/communication services, were less likely to do so.

“The report seeks to answer a pressing question – whether the largest companies in Asia are taking sufficient action on their biodiversity impacts. While it is encouraging to see companies talking about biodiversity, the extent to which this drives meaningful change is questionable. There is still a lack of understanding of the link between business operations and biodiversity impacts,” said Dr Stephanie Wray, Managing Director of Nature Positive.

Dr Wray added, “As a first step, organisations should undertake a biodiversity audit to understand how they rely on and impact nature. Setting targets for the restoration of biodiversity would be an obvious sign of intent for Asian companies to start addressing their impacts. It’s encouraging that ten organisations in our report have done so and, hopefully, others will follow suit.”

Protecting Asia’s diversity

Asia is home to a broad array of biodiversity and is a habitat for some of the most iconic species in the world. But it is also the largest and fastest-growing economic bloc globally, which is a driving factor in devastating biodiversity loss.

The main causes of biodiversity loss include direct habitat degradation or loss through land use; over-exploitation of species through direct harvesting from nature or its indirect effects; and climate change and pollution of land, water or air, including through the release of excess nutrients.

Protecting biodiversity is crucial because it supports the interactions between species known as ecosystems. Healthy ecosystems clean our water, purify our air, maintain our soil, regulate the climate and recycle nutrients – providing the raw materials for everything from goods to medicines and so much more, making them critical for business success. Asia’s nature is central to delivering solutions to net zero climate goals – these are considered unachievable without ending deforestation within the decade and protecting marine life, which scientists estimate absorbs up to 30% of global carbon. The region is vulnerable because of the critical role that healthy natural habitats play in providing resilience for communities as they adapt to the impacts of climate change.

The report points out that addressing biodiversity makes business sense, given the increasing pressure on businesses to alleviate and reverse biodiversity loss. If companies fail to respond, they risk losing consumers and investors through reputation damage which could affect profits and viability. Adopting a nature-positive framework enhances the attractiveness of a business, particularly to ecologically aware consumers, jobseekers and investors.

“Understanding the impacts and dependencies on nature, and reversing nature loss, is especially important for businesses in Asia. We must disband the idea that there is a difference between financial and non-financial value. Capital allocation models need to enable sustainable development, with capital markets properly valuing inclusive, impactful, sustainable business practices and rewarding the most sustainable companies,” said Joe Phelan, Executive Director, Asia Pacific, World Business Council for Sustainable Development.

Although this report focuses on Asian companies, it is not just companies in this region struggling with their actions. A report published by Nature Positive last year on FTSE100 companies in the UK found only 64% of listed companies were addressing biodiversity issues while over one-third did not even reference biodiversity.

About the report
A total of 192 companies were reviewed across the Japanese (48), Thai (50), Singapore (30) and Hong Kong (64) stock exchanges using information from publicly available sources to determine how many companies are referencing biodiversity, where biodiversity features in materiality assessments and the efforts taken to identify and address biodiversity impacts.

The analysis is supplemented by six interviews with sustainability experts in the region, including several conducted by the Thailand Development Research Institute (TDRI), with whom Nature Positive partnered to gain further insight into the region. Interviewees represented a broad range of organisations, including a global conservation partnership, a built and natural asset consultancy, a water services company, a stock exchange, a conglomerate and an oil and gas company. The interviews provided context to the findings of the desk-based research and gave greater insight into the progress made and challenges faced by organisations as they seek to manage their biodiversity impacts.

Since then, the brand has shaped the history of audio technology with craftsmanship and high-fidelity sound like no other. In the everlasting spirit of innovation, the brand expands its initiative to connect with the young and rising generation through a bolder and more expressive look. The new store features more dynamic colors such as yellow with the façade renewed with Danish beach inspired slate stone finishes. Lustrous lighting invites guests into the storefront with a series of floating display of the brand’s most iconic Beoplay A9 speakers.

A full sensorial experience

By the store’s intentional segmentation, the guests are encouraged to immerse in the unique audio-visual experience of the various product lines and its iconic craftmanship. Each interaction is divided into a space to hear, see and feel each product. An independent audio room also encapsulates the ultimate cinematic experience by Bang & Olufsen.

Reconnecting through a new vision for sound

“In this digital age, we are bombarded with noise at every turn and the technology that promises to bring people closer together has instead left us disconnected. In response to this, our new experiential store provides us with a platform to flaunt a revigorated Bang & Olufsen to our Hong Kong audience, but it especially lets us present an artisanal experience in our store where sound is meant to be seen, felt and heard,” said Arnaud De Schuytter, President of Bang & Olufsen Asia Pacific.

Remastering the home cinema

Succeeding the global announcement of the latest Beosound Theatre, the grand opening teases the brand’s breakthrough soundbar made to redefine the home cinematic experience. It is made of 12 speaker drivers within a single sleek soundbar, the polished extendable aluminium wings will allow customization to fit TVs of all sizes. It introduces a new three-dimensional sound directivity due to the patent-pending combination of the direct, side- and up-firing speakers.

Made to last for generations, a modular design provides flexibility to replace pieces of the soundbar maintaining its timeless quality and beautiful craftmanship; it is also inclusive of Bang & Olufsen’s own proprietary software platform called “Mozart”, which continues the heritage of creating a cross-generational home audio setup that connects seamlessly with products as far back as 1986. The soundbar will officially be available in-store in October 2022, view the product here.

Investing in infrastructure for current and future customers

These cities are among the top contributors to India’s overall Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Furthermore, multi-client sites are being built in the fast-growing state capitals and tier 2 cities such as Ambala, Baddi, Cochin, Coimbatore, Guwahati, Sanand, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Indore, Lucknow, Bhubaneshwar, Hosur, and Visakhapatnam.

DHL Supply Chain India will also open two new Business Support Centers (BSC) in Bangalore and Pune within the next 12-18 months to support customer demand.

Furthermore, all new sites will implement green features, including solar panels for electricity, rainwater harvesting, LED lights, smart meters, etc.

“Asia Pacific currently accounts for about 15 percent of DHL Supply Chain’s global revenue but is among the fastest growing regions, with India being a key contributor to this growth. The Indian logistics market, worth over US$200 billion now, is expected to grow at about 10% per year in the next five years to reach around US$330 billion. We take a long-term view in India with businesses here having reasons to be optimistic,” said Terry Ryan, CEO, DHL Supply Chain Asia Pacific.
