ハーバライフ・ニュートリション、「Simply Recycle」チャレンジの結果を発表: アジア・パシフィック全域で3,300名が参加し712,000万以上の製品容器を回収

香港 – Media OutReach – 2022年11月25日 – 業界トップのグローバルニュートリションカンパニーであるハーバライフ・ニュートリションは、本日、同社メンバーの気候変動対策に対する意識を高めることを目的に、使用済みのハーバライフ・ニュートリション製品の容器を回収してリサイクルすることを奨励するアジアパシフィック地域での取り組み「Asia Pacific Simply Recycle Challenge(アジア・パシフィック・シンプリーリサイクル・チャレンジ)」の結果を発表した。今年6月から8月にかけて展開したこのチャレンジには3,300人以上のハーバライフ・ニュートリションメンバーが参加。合計712,232個の使用済み製品容器を回収してリサイクルプログラムに回し、その重量はアフリカ象6頭に相当する36トンに上った。

この「Simply Recycleチャレンジ」の結果を受けて、ハーバライフ・ニュートリションは世界的な非営利組織One Tree Planted.とのパートナーシップを通じて、1,421本の木を植えることも可能になった。1本の木は植樹後20年間、年間で平均約10kgの二酸化炭素を吸収できると言われており、今回の取り組みによって、毎年、地球上でおよそ14トンの二酸化炭素を吸収できることになる。これは、ガソリンを燃料とする自動車の地球2周分の二酸化炭素排出量に匹敵する。

この結果について、ハーバライフ・ニュートリションのアジア・パシフィックおよび中国地域プレジデントのスティーブン・コンチーは、「今回のチャレンジの結果と、この環境保護のための取り組みを当社のメンバーが積極的に支援してくれたことをうれしく思う。環境保護の推進は当社のグローバルな責任戦略における重要な要素であり、『Simply Recycleチャレンジ』の実施を通じた当社製品の包装材のリサイクル促進から、流通ネットワーク全体を通じたプラスチックの使用削減まで、当社は人と地球の持続可能な未来を推進するために必要な有意義な取り組みを進めている」と述べている。

今年6月5日の「世界環境デー(World Environment Day)に全社的な「Go Green」イニシアチブの一環として立ち上げられた「Simply Recycleチャレンジ」は、ハーバライフ・ニュートリションのディストリビューターやアジアパシフィックの各地にある独立したニュートリション・クラブのオーナーに、使用済みのハーバライフ・ニュートリション製品の容器のリサイクルを奨励した。

この「Simply Recycleチャレンジ」以外にも、アジアパシフィック地域のいくつかの市場では、各国の組織と連携してさらにいくつかのリサイクルプログラムを展開している。

  • ベトナムでは、Ho Chi Minh City Association for Conservation of Nature and Environment (HANE、ホーチミン市自然環境保護協会)と協力して、使用済みの製品容器を製品製造に再利用可能なプラスチック粒に変換
  • フィリピンでは、Green Antzとパートナーシップを組み、廃棄される製品包装材のグリーン建材への変換を実現
  • マレーシアでは、Recycle for Life(RFL)に参加して、クアラルンプールにあるSales and Distribution Center(販売・流通センター)から定期的に使用済み製品容器やボトルを回収。このプログラムで得た収益は全額、ハーバライフ・ニュートリション・ファンデーション(Herbalife Nutrition Foundation、HNF)に寄付され、マレーシア国内の子供やコミュニティの生活を向上させるために役立てられる。
  • タイでは、再利用して有用な材料にするために、使用済みの製品容器をサムットプラカーン県のチャークデーン寺院に寄付。

ハーバライフ・ニュートリションは今後も引き続き、フォーミュラ1のパッケージに再生樹脂(PCR)を使用するなど、リサイクル素材の利用拡大によってプラスチック使用量を削減すると同時に、ニュートリション製品のパッケージングの量そのものを削減するなど、環境への悪影響を解消するための取り組みを世界レベルで継続していく。

ROSEN, SKILLED INVESTOR COUNSEL, Encourages Enviva Inc. Investors with Losses to Secure Counsel Before Important Deadline in Securities Class Action – EVA

New York, New York – Newsfile Corp. – November 24, 2022 – WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of the securities of Enviva Inc. (NYSE: EVA) between February 21, 2019 and October 11, 2022, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”), of the important January 3, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased Enviva 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 Enviva class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9162 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 January 3, 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, throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Enviva had misrepresented the environmental sustainability of its wood pellet production and procurement; (2) Enviva had similarly overstated the true measure of cash flow generated by the Company’s platform; (3) accordingly, Enviva had misrepresented its business model and the Company’s ability to achieve the level of growth that defendants had represented to investors; and (4) as a result, the Company’s public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the Enviva class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=9162 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.

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.

OUTLOOK

Looking ahead, as the market anticipates the lifting of all travel restrictions by the government and a continued improvement in local business sentiment, the Group will also ride on the economic recovery to consistently look for suitable opportunities to expand the store network of its major retail brand “Best Mart 360˚” and global gourmet store “FoodVille” in Hong Kong, Macau and Mainland China, with a target of achieving a net increase of 20 retail stores each year to satisfy the demand of different customer segments for quality food products under a “dual-brand” model. The “Best Mart 360˚” brand will continue to focus on serving the residential areas and expanding the coverage of its store network, while the ongoing optimization of existing retail stores will continue, with a view to providing more comfortable shopping experience to customers and boosting store sales. “FoodVille” will target large and medium-to-high-end shopping malls in Hong Kong as well as stores with larger area and locations with higher customer traffic and stronger consumer spending power. The Group will strive to increase the number of exclusive products of “FoodVille” and actively look for medium-to-high-end diversified quality products from around the world, in order to further differentiate the two brands.

To uphold its business mission in offering the “Best Quality” and “Best Price” to its customers, the Group will strive to strengthen the core competitiveness of its brand. Apart from continuing to source a diversified range of food products worldwide, the Group will also step up the development of its private label products, not only to satisfy market demand for daily necessities and enrich the choices for customers, but also to effectively control product quality. The Group will continue to actively identify upstream suppliers to secure a lower procurement cost, in order to maintain its competitive advantages in pricing.

The Board is of the view that business diversification can effectively expand the Group’s income stream and enable the Group to better attract recurring purchases from customers. In addition to accelerating deployment in the Greater Bay Area with the target of expanding its physical sales network across the country, the Group is also actively examining a trial run of an e-commerce business in Mainland China to allow customers to make online purchases via a WeChat mini-app, with delivery service covering an ecosphere of 3km from the store location, striving for the fastest delivery. It is expected that the operation will commence in this financial year.

Follow the Group will continue to develop its business-to-business (B2B) segment by bulk selling its private label products and other imported products to other retailers in Hong Kong, online stores and even merchants or enterprises in other overseas markets, with a view to expanding the Group’s potential customer base and generate more steady streams of revenue to maintain the profitability of the Group.
