CUHK Faculty of Law: Pioneering Legal Education with Global Impact and Research Excellence


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 May 2025 – The Chinese University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Law (CUHK LAW) continues to strengthen its position as a leading international legal education institution, offering innovative programmes and conducting impactful research that shapes the future of legal practice across Asia and beyond.

Distinguished Academic Excellence

Since its establishment in 2004, CUHK LAW has emerged as a truly international faculty, with academic staff from over 20 jurisdictions. The Faculty’s research excellence has been consistently recognised, leading Hong Kong’s law domain in the UGC’s Research Assessment Exercises of 2014 and 2020. Its global standing was further cemented in the latest QS World University Rankings by Subject 2025, achieving the 48th position worldwide.

Innovative Programme Portfolio

The Faculty offers a comprehensive range of postgraduate programmes, including the specialised Master of Laws (LLM) degrees that respond to evolving global legal challenges. The LLM in Energy and Environmental Law (LEL), launched in 2018-2019, stands as Hong Kong’s pioneer programme in energy security and sustainability law. The newest addition, the LLM in Legal History (LLH), introduced in 2022-2023, represents as one of the few global programmes dedicated to transnational legal history research.

Research Impact and Global Collaboration

The Faculty’s commitment to research excellence is exemplified through its specialised research centres. The Centre for Comparative and Transnational Law (CCTL) supports collaborative research through eight specialised clusters, while the Centre for Legal Innovation and Digital Society (CLINDS) drives innovative research in law and technology.

The Faculty’s global reach extends to prestigious partnerships, including dual programmes with The Dickson Poon School of Law, King’s College London, offering students the opportunity to earn two degrees from world-class institutions in four years.

Nurturing Global Legal Talent

The Faculty’s international outlook is reflected in its diverse student body, representing over 60 countries and regions. It also offers students valuable opportunities and resources to collaborate with scholars across various fields, deepening their understanding and opening new avenues for their work. PhD candidate Tajra Smajic, a Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme (HKPFS) awardee from Bosnia and Herzegovina, expressed her appreciation for her experience at CUHK Faculty of Law: “CUHK’s dynamic research environment and HKPFS support have enriched my academic journey immensely. The programme enables global engagement through international conferences and summer schools, fostering valuable professional connections.” Tajra is currently interning at the United Nations Legal Office, Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea (DOALOS), applying her knowledge in real-world contexts.

Faculty experts like Professor Anatole Boute continue to shape global legal discourse. Professor Boute, specialising in energy, environmental, and investment law, received the prestigious Richard Macrory Prize for Best Article 2021 from the Journal of Environmental Law, Oxford University Press. His research has provided national energy authorities evidence-based suggestions which contributed to shape better energy market regulation in Central Asia while improving the cost of clean energy supply.

SIBUR Develops New Polymer Grades for Medical and Packaging Applications


MOSCOW, RUSSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 30 May 2025 – SIBUR, Russia’s largest producer of polymers and rubbers, has developed new product grades tailored for the medical industry and e-commerce packaging.

A new grade of polypropylene resistant to radiation exposure can be used in the production of test tubes, containers, and other medical items that undergo radiation sterilisation. These products retain their original strength, transparency, and colour after sterilisation.

To confirm its radiation resistance, the material was subjected to a dose 40% higher than standard. The results demonstrated the material’s high reliability: it maintained its properties and met customer requirements even under increased exposure. This grade of polypropylene has excellent export potential.

SIBUR Polylab, the company’s R&D centre, has also developed a new material formula for e-commerce courier bags that combines low- and high-density polyethylene. This innovation reduced the bags’ weight by up to 30% without compromising their strength.

The courier bags feature tamper-evident seals, protect against moisture and contaminants, and allow for direct printing of unique QR codes on the surface without labels. Compared with cardboard boxes, this type of packaging lowers delivery costs due to its smaller size and lighter weight.

In 2024, SIBUR enhanced its corporate structure by transitioning to industry-specific divisions. Each division focuses on the development and implementation of polymer solutions for specific sectors, including healthcare, packaging, construction, automotive, and others. This approach fosters both sales growth and innovation.

The Russian market remains SIBUR’s top priority, though the company also exports products to China, Vietnam, and other Asian countries. In 2026, SIBUR plans to launch the Amur Gas Chemical Complex, with a production capacity of 2.7 million tonnes of polyethylene and polypropylene per year, which will help expand exports to Southeast Asia.

GAR’s Sustainability Report 2024 Shows Company, Customers and Communities Growing Together with Purpose

SINGAPORE, May 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Golden Agri-Resources (GAR) today published its Sustainability Report 2024, covering a year that saw the company establish the scale and scope of its climate ambitions while continuing to deliver on core commitments to tackle deforestation, enhance traceability and promote thriving, resilient agricultural communities.

GAR Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Franky O. Widjaja, explained how the company’s sustainability foundations have helped GAR to navigate a year of global challenges, from economic shifts and evolving regulatory demands to extreme weather conditions.

“The world is changing, and so is the future of agribusiness,” he said. “At GAR, sustainability isn’t just a part of our business strategy; it is our business strategy. We believe that sustainability leadership starts with action; with choices that reflect our values and shape a better future.”

For the first time, GAR has published a double materiality assessment, addressing both the company’s impact on environmental and social issues and how these topics may influence GAR’s operations, long-term resilience, and financial performance. In addition to preparing the company for upcoming reporting requirements, this assessment validates GAR’s priorities for action on sustainability.

Widjaja continued: “As extreme weather and regulations intensify, investing in responsible agriculture matters more than ever. Our 2024 theme of Growing Together with Purpose reflects a year of evolution for GAR’s sustainability policies and practice. Over the past year, we have set bold targets for emissions reduction by 2030 and developed a new sustainability framework, Collective for Impact, that provides a clear path forward for the next stage of our sustainability journey – a journey we’re taking together with partners, suppliers and smallholders.”

Notable developments include:

Launching Collective for Impact

Since 2015, the GAR Social and Environmental Policy (GSEP) has been the foundation of the company’s sustainability commitments, implemented in its own operations and across the company’s palm oil supply chain in Indonesia.

Now, GAR has launched a new framework, Collective for Impact, marking the next phase of its sustainability ambitions. Covering three key areas: Sourcing Responsibly, Caring for our Planet, and Empowering People, this new business strategy extends beyond GAR’s Indonesian palm oil supply chain to include its entire business and value chain, operationally and geographically.

Anita Neville, GAR’s Chief Sustainability and Communications Officer, described how this framework builds on the company’s existing initiatives to address critical areas for action. “It has never been more urgent to act on climate change, eliminate exploitation, and protect natural ecosystems,” she said.

“We know that what got us here will not necessarily get us where we want and need to go,” she continued. “Collective for Impact strengthens our resilience, creates long-term value and builds trust to keep us ahead of global expectations. This is not just a sustainability vision; it is a business strategy that touches every part of GAR.”

Advancing Net Zero Commitments

In 2024, GAR set bold 2030 targets to cut absolute emissions as a milestone on its pathway to net zero emissions by 2050. The company will cut Forest, Land, and Agriculture (FLAG) emissions by 30% and non-FLAG emissions by 42% from its 2022 baseline.

Last year, GAR reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions from its direct operations by 3% through continued implementation of No Deforestation, No Peat and No Exploitation (NDPE) policies, coupled with energy efficiency initiatives and increased renewable energy use.  

However, GAR’s total emissions increased by 7% year on year, from 32.7 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent in 2023 to 35 million tonnes in 2024, driven by a 10% increase in Scope 3 emissions. These supply chain emissions account for 79% of GAR’s total carbon footprint, underscoring the critical role of ongoing supplier engagement and collecting first party emissions data; two core pillars of the company’s Scope 3 reduction efforts.

Leading in Transparency and Traceability

GAR has continued to map its Indonesian palm oil supply chain and has now reached 99.5% Traceability to the Plantation (TTP). The company is intensifying efforts to address the final 0.5% of TTP, addressing variability within its supply chain and extending its partnerships with smallholders to implement traceability while supporting them to improve yields and livelihoods.

Elsewhere, the company has successfully expanded its traceability commitments to its other commodities, implementing 100% Traceability to the Mill (TTM) for soy, sugar, sunflower and coconut globally.

The company has also launched the blockchain-powered SmartTrace system, giving users a window on the full journey of a palm oil product from plantation to purchase. Together with satellite monitoring, mapping, and supplier transformation initiatives, GAR is continuing to ensure responsible production across its supply chain, helping customers to prepare for the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and future regulations.

Action for Communities

GAR’s Bright Future Initiative continues to help communities build better livelihoods. In 2024, the company supported 189 projects, and empowering 113 Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) with skills from farming and technology to operations training, helping them grow and reach new markets.

About Golden Agri-Resources Ltd (GAR)
