DETERMINANT JOINS THE RETAIL4IMPACT INITIATIVE TO PROVIDE CREDIBLE GREEN CLAIMS AND PREVENT GREENWASHING

HONG KONG, Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Men’s shirt brand DETERMINANT has been selected to participate in the Retail4Impact initiative, led by the Consumer Information Programme of the One Planet Network, under the auspices of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

DETERMINANT is a proud participant of UNEP's One Planet Network leading retail initiative RETAIL4IMPACT.
DETERMINANT is a proud participant of UNEP’s One Planet Network leading retail initiative RETAIL4IMPACT.

The Retail4Impact initiative unites the retail sector in providing effective, trustworthy sustainability claims to consumers. It aims to combat greenwashing by encouraging transparency, reliability, and clarity in sustainability communication.

Developed within the framework of the Consumer Information Programme of the One Planet Network, a multi-stakeholder partnership to implement SDG 12 on Sustainable Consumption and Production, the Retail4Impact initiative aims to drive meaningful change in the way retail businesses communicate about product sustainability to consumers. The retail sector has a key role to play in preventing greenwashing practices and ensuring product sustainability information is communicated to consumers in a clear, reliable, transparent, relevant and accessible way – not only as a major driver of the global economy, but also as the most crucial link between brands producers and consumers.

DETERMINANT’s inclusion in the initiative recognizes the credibility and transparency of its sustainability claims – particularly those related to its Cotton Waterless Dye Collection. This collection features a closed-loop process that eliminates water, salt, and chemical wastewater from textile dyeing, saving up to 40L of water per shirt. This innovation addresses critical environmental, economic, and social sustainability hotspots. The water savings are independently verified by SGS certification, while consumer safety is assured through OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certification, which confirms that every component of the product—from fabric to thread and accessories—has been tested for harmful substances and is safe for human use.

This year, DETERMINANT extended its water stewardship mission through the ‘Frozen in Tones’ Waterless Dye Collection, a design capsule inspired by the UN’s Global Year of Glaciers Preservation. This collection not only showcases sustainable innovation but also raises awareness on the urgent need to protect the world’s water sources.

As part of the Retail4Impact initiative, DETERMINANT commits to assessing and communicating its product sustainability claims in alignment with the UNEP Guidelines for Providing Product Sustainability Information.

Aurum Gravis Expands Portfolio With Investment and Development of Vila Natura, A Rare Freehold Landed Project In Lentor

  • Backed by a S$23m closed-end fund comprising private and accredited investors
  • Partners Redbrick Mortgage Advisory as both co-investor and mortgage advisory provider
  • Yields 11 units comprising 10 semi-detached and 1 villa; to be launched in early 2026 with completion slated for end 2027

SINGAPORE, Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Aurum Gravis, a Singapore-based firm focused on private real estate and alternative investments, is set to expand its portfolio of unique real estate developments with “Vila Natura” – a new freehold, project consisting of multiple landed properties in the emerging Lentor precinct.

With the successful completion of the acquisition of the 28,895 sq ft site at 2G Tung Po Avenue earlier this month and backed by a closed-end S$23 million fund, the project will yield an exclusive collection of 11 landed units[1]. Comprising 5 pairs of semi-detached houses and one detached villa, Vila Natura is located just 800 metres from Lentor MRT.

A Rare Freehold Development in Lentor

Each home will feature contemporary interiors, private gardens, and thoughtfully planned layouts tailored for family living. Situated in one of Singapore’s few remaining freehold landed enclaves and surrounded by upcoming lifestyle amenities and reputable schools such as Anderson Primary and CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls’ School, Vila Natura offers refined yet accessible landed living in Lentor.

Lentor is quickly emerging as one of Singapore’s most exciting new residential enclaves in recent years. The arrival of integrated developments, new lifestyle amenities, and seamless connectivity via the Thomson-East Coast Line has set the stage for a well-rounded community. With thoughtful master planning, abundant greenery, and a growing identity as a modern residential precinct, Lentor offers bright prospects for homeowners seeking both convenience and long-term value.

Kieran Wee, Director and Founding Partner, Aurum Gravis said: “Freehold landed plots available for redevelopment are exceptionally rare in Singapore. Vila Natura is one of these gems, situated in the up-and-coming Lentor enclave which is undergoing rapid transformation. The project represents exactly what we seek to deliver – investments that are selective, ideally located, and built for long-term value.

“Following our recent launch of Vila Naga – another prestigious freehold landed project in the heart of Bukit Timah, the successful fund close for Vila Natura further underscores the strong demand from investors for such scarce, off-market real estate opportunities in Singapore.”

Nurturing Distinctive Partnerships

Aurum Gravis has joined hands with Redbrick Mortgage Advisory on Vila Natura, where the latter is both an early co-investor and mortgage advisory partner.

“At Redbrick, we have always been passionate about helping people make better property decisions. Partnering with Aurum Gravis not only marks our first step into private equity real estate, but is also a natural extension of our brand. This project gives us the chance to extend our support beyond financing, so buyers at Vila Natura can enjoy not just a quality home, but also the peace of mind that comes with how they fund it,” said Eugene Huang, Director, Redbrick Mortgage Advisory.

Create Architecture, an award-winning design atelier known for bespoke residences and regional projects, will also bring architectural integrity and a proven track record in high-quality residential design.

“Our vision for Vila Natura is to design homes that respect the heritage of landed living while embracing contemporary design amidst its green surroundings. Inspired by its natural environment, we shaped fluid, open interiors that evoke a quiet simplicity in harmony with this distinctive corner of Tung Po Avenue. Every detail – from clean lines, spatial flow to natural light, is carefully considered to balance sophistication with liveability,” said Tan Bing Hui, Director and Co-Founder, Create Architecture.

Together, these partnerships reflect Aurum Gravis’ model of curating the right expertise to transform rare opportunities into enduring, high-quality assets.

“Our partnerships reflect our shared commitment to providing more accessible opportunities like Vila Natura to discerning buyers, and delivering the financial clarity, guidance and design distinction that today’s homebuyers expect,” added Mr Wee.

Boutique Freehold Landed Developments In The Spotlight

Recent URA data shows that landed home prices rose 2.2% quarter-on-quarter in the second quarter of 2025, outpacing the 0.7% growth in prices of non-landed segments[2]. Particularly, in Lentor, multiple new private residential launches have seen high take-up rates, with some projects nearing full sell-out and many units already absorbed. At the same time, recent reports[3] show that large land tenders in freehold or landed categories are less frequent and some are receiving limited bidder interest. Against this backdrop, boutique developments like Vila Natura with a freehold tenure, generous land area and prime location are uniquely positioned to meet demand for scarce, high-quality landed homes.

Proven Track Record and Growing Future Pipeline

Since its founding in 2023, Aurum Gravis has curated over S$70 million in project value across residential, commercial and alternative-use assets in Singapore and select overseas markets. Its notable projects include 23 Aida Street, where a single bungalow was redeveloped into two premium semi-detached homes with attic spaces, showcasing Aurum Gravis’ ability to unlock value through thoughtful redesign.

The firm’s ongoing developments include Vila Naga in Bukit Timah’s District 11, an ultra-luxury freehold landed project that exemplifies Aurum Gravis’ hallmark focus on scarcity, distinction and value.

Amid global volatility, well-located, freehold property in Singapore remains in high demand, especially among accredited investors seeking stability and capital protection. Looking ahead, the firm will continue to be intentionally selective, curating a pipeline of projects that align with investor and homebuyer interest. The firm will also explore other freehold assets and segments that align with its core principles of scarcity, long-term value and capital preservation.

About Aurum Gravis

Aurum Gravis is a Singapore-based firm focused on private real estate and alternative investments, founded in 2023 to provide accredited investors access to rare, off-market opportunities typically reserved for institutions. The firm is led by a team with decades of experience spanning real estate, finance, and shipping, bringing together deep networks with disciplined capital management.

Since inception, Aurum Gravis has curated over S$70 million in project value across residential, commercial, and alternative-use assets in Singapore and select overseas markets. Guided by institutional-grade rigor and boutique agility, every project is chosen with intent – balancing architectural distinction, commercial value, and investor alignment to ensure developments that preserve relevance and value across generations. Visit www.aurumgravis.com for more.

Yiwu Global Digital Trade Center Nears Grand Opening, Sparking Buzz with Global Buyers Through Short Dramas and AI-Driven Videos

YIWU, China, Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — This autumn, Yiwu is poised to open a new chapter in global digital trade. The Yiwu Global Digital Trade Center is set to open soon, with preparations nearly complete.

Over the past month, thousands of merchants within the market spontaneously have launched a spontaneous campaign named “A Golden Autumn Invitation Across a Thousand Miles,” blending human warmth with technological power to convey Yiwu’s openness and sincerity to the world.

Micro-drama Invitations by “Yiwu Boss Ladies” and “Next-Gen Entrepreneurs”

“Hello, my friend! My new store opens in October, you must come!” — Such cross-border calls have become a familiar soundtrack at the Yiwu Global Digital Trade Center recently.

In this wave of spontaneous and heartfelt exchanges, 100 Yiwu boss ladies and next-generation entrepreneurs have become the emotional hubs of connection.

They have turned one hundred heartfelt stories of cooperation with foreign partners—along with one hundred creative invitation ideas and one hundred grand opening surprises—into a series of micro-dramas that have resonated widely across domestic and international social media platforms.

Among them, Chen Meijun invited her “foreign godson,” a young man from Uzbekistan who came to China to pursue his dream of studying traditional Chinese medicine with her help.

Sheng Yafang reached out to Sultan, a business partner from Uzbekistan whom she befriended 25 years ago through an act of honesty, rekindling a cross-border friendship rooted in integrity.

Zhou Jingjing extended an invitation to her Russian partner who, despite living through wartime hardships, spent seven years repaying his debts in full—proving that “trust knows no borders.”

Meanwhile, Xu Hua’s South American client, Marcos, who once prepaid for goods without hesitation in his early business days, will personally lead a team of nail art trainees to Yiwu to celebrate the grand opening.

These true stories—spanning continents and time—are all built on a foundation of trust, forming one of the most heartfelt cultural symbols of the Yiwu market.

AI Empowerment Drives Visual Breakthroughs

Beyond the emotional connections, technology has emerged as another highlight of the Yiwu Global Digital Trade Center’s opening campaign.

The Chinagoods AI (CGAI) technology platform has ushered in a “visual content revolution” for merchants across the sixth market.

At the recent held “Global Digital Trade Center 1,000 Brand TVC Premiere and AI Social Media Marketing Summit,” a thousand AI-generated brand commercials were unveiled simultaneously—marking a major leap forward that overcomes traditional barriers of cost, production time, and creative limitations in video content creation.

“In the past, producing a brand video could cost hundreds of thousands of yuan and take several months. Now, with AI technology, a single product image can generate ad content with an international look and feel,” said one participating merchant.

The system also enables rapid creation of region-specific content tailored to the visual preferences of markets such as Europe and North America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia—truly achieving “one click, global reach.”

Meanwhile, two AI-generated creative videos have gained widespread traction on overseas social media platforms:

To the Summit — uses the imagery of climbing Mount Everest to depict three members of Yiwu’s new generation of digital traders embarking on a symbolic journey to the world’s peak, where they launch the “Global Digital Trade Crystal,” connecting an international digital trade network.

Breaking Boundaries — features an AI-generated hot air balloon carrying Yiwu’s young entrepreneurs as it soars across global landmarks such as the Egyptian Pyramids, the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Silicon Valley in the United States, and the Sydney Opera House. In multiple languages, it extends an open invitation to the world: “Come to Yiwu to do global business.”

Within just one day of release, the video surpassed 3.9 million views, becoming a viral case study in cross-border digital marketing.

Global Digital Trade Center to Open with a New Look

The soon-to-be-unveiled Yiwu Global Digital Trade Center represents not only the next generation of markets in Yiwu but also a “digital trade infrastructure” powered by AI as its core engine.

As a national strategic-level project, it focuses on cutting-edge sectors including fashion accessories, smart home products, collectible toys, outdoor leisure, and consumer electronics. With 3,760 innovative shops, the center aims to establish a fully digitized, round-the-clock operational “intelligent trade ecosystem.”

Here, the integration of people, products, marketplaces, and supply chains is fully digitized, rendering language, time zones, and geographic boundaries no longer obstacles to trade.

As the CGAI project lead stated, “We are committed to empowering every small and medium-sized merchant with the ‘content creativity’ and ‘brand communication power’ that once belonged exclusively to international major brands.”

From the humble beginnings of “feathers flying to the sky” to the era of “digital trade connecting the world,” Yiwu continues to advance in step with the global market.

Today, this city, renowned as the “World’s Supermarket,” is leveraging the dual engines of technology and trust to advance toward becoming a global digital trade hub.

The opening ceremony of the Global Digital Trade Center is now ready, featuring a series of international exchange events including a welcome gala for global buyers, a new product launch live festival, and an AI interactive experience exhibition. These activities will offer visitors from around the world an immersive celebration blending technology, commerce, and culture.

“A Thousand Miles, One Wind” is more than an invitation—it embodies the shared journey of Yiwu and its global partners, grounded in time and trust. This October, let us meet in Yiwu to witness the beginning of a new era in global digital trade.
