HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 9 April 2026 – Jardine Matheson Holdings Limited (Jardines) has released its 2025 Sustainability Report, which outlines the Group’s approach to sustainability, progress towards its objectives and 2025 performance. The report can be found at sustainability.jardines.com/2025/.

Jardines embeds sustainability within its value creation strategy and applies a rigorous lens to investment and capital allocation decisions. There are clear sustainability expectations for our diverse portfolio of market‑leading businesses with the aim to build resilience and mitigate emerging risks.

Earlier, Jardines announced its strategic repositioning from owner-operator to an investment company with a focus on sustainable, top-quartile Total Shareholder Return. Jardines is also committed to active portfolio value creation, talent development, world-class governance and sustainability improvements across its portfolio.

In 2025, Jardine Matheson delivered strong progress on its ‘Building Towards 2030’ sustainability strategy:

  • Climate action – Decarbonisation remains top priority. 8% decline in scope 1 and 2 emissions from companies on the Decarbonisation and Transition pathway
  • Responsible consumption – Improvements in waste reduction, resource efficiency and circularity initiatives. 29% decrease in total waste generated and 95% total waste diverted from landfill
  • Social inclusion – Ongoing investments in education, health and livelihoods. US$59m in community investments made
  • Governance and transparency – Enhanced sustainability governance and disclosure as Jardines maintains portfolio oversight of sustainability across its portfolio. ESG ratings improvement reflect positive response on sustainability performance (S&P: 82nd percentile, ISS ESG: Prime)


Ben Keswick, Executive Chairman of Jardine Matheson said, “Sustainability is foundational to how we protect and enhance economic value and build long-term resilience across Jardine Matheson – it is an essential value that every business in our portfolio must commit to and that guides the investment decisions we make. We will continue to embed sustainability in our strategy and portfolio management decisions, with a clear focus on decarbonisation, by setting clear commitments, measuring progress against our roadmaps, and applying disciplined governance across our portfolio.”

Decarbonisation is top priority
Contributing to a sustainable, low-carbon future is a strategic priority for Jardines. In 2025, the Group delivered an 8% reduction in total scope 1 and 2 emissions, reflecting steady progress across its diversified portfolio. This was supported by a continued shift away from fossil-fuel energy, with renewable energy accounting for 45% of total energy consumption, alongside an overall reduction in energy use.

Jardines’ decarbonisation approach is structured around two pathways: a Decarbonisation Pathway, and a Transition Pathway for mining and energy businesses.

In 2025, Jardines’ portfolio companies began formal reporting on climate risks and opportunities to their audit committees, following the integration of climate risks into existing ERM processes the prior year. Alongside, Jardines is also integrating sustainability factors into investment due diligence and decision-making, ensuring material sustainability-related aspects of an investment are considered as Jardines continues to unlock value creation for its stakeholders.

Looking forward
Looking ahead, Jardines will continue to embed sustainability as a core value driver across its portfolio by setting clear commitments and prioritising decarbonisation. The Group will continue to strengthen governance and incentives to drive accountability and deliver on scope 1 and 2 emissions reduction pathways.

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 8 April 2026 – By bringing together leading AI engines and editing capabilities, WeryAI centers on “complete creative production on a single platform,” helping creators, designers, and marketing teams eliminate tool switching and improve the efficiency of visual content production.

Following the official launch of the platform, WeryAI (https://www.weryai.com/) has grown to nearly 3 million users. Serving creators, designers, marketers, and cross-border business teams, it provides an end-to-end creative solution covering image generation, video production, post-production editing, music generation, and character creation. To address common pain points in AI content production—such as fragmented tools, disconnected workflows, and rising costs—the platform integrates multiple high-performance AI models and editing tools, moving visual content production away from the traditional patchwork of multiple tools toward a more efficient closed-loop workflow on a single platform.

At the core of the platform is its signature “multi-model mode,” which allows users to enter a single prompt and simultaneously generate outputs using multiple image-generation models, including Wery 2.0, Nano Banana Pro, Seedream, Dreamina, and Wan 2.6. This makes it easy to compare the style and quality of different engines and quickly identify the best option for a project. On the video side, the platform integrates industry-leading engines such as Google Veo 3.1 Fast, Kling, Runway, Hailuo, and Pika, supporting synchronized audio-video generation. In just seconds, users can turn static images into dynamic advertising clips with smooth camera movement and synced sound effects.

The platform also offers a range of built-in editing tools for tasks such as 4K upscaling, background replacement, object removal, lip-syncing, and subtitle translation. All editing can be done in one interface, without exporting files across platforms. Its “prompt reverse engineering” feature lets users upload a reference image and automatically generate accurate prompts based on elements such as lighting, composition, and mood, reducing the time spent refining prompts.

WeryAI supports a wide range of use cases, including content creation for video producers, end-to-end design workflows, asset production for e-commerce marketing teams, and multilingual content localization for multinational companies. New users receive a daily free quota, while flexible subscription plans are available for both individual creators and professional teams.

Tradewind Finance Extends Client Facility to $50 Million Within 48 Hours to Support Middle East Trade Amid Strait of Hormuz Disruption

By
Advertorial Desk
-

MÖNCHENGLADBACH, Germany, April 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Tradewind Finance has expanded an existing client facility from $45 million to $50 million within 48 hours, enabling the exporter to meet rising working capital demands caused by the ongoing disruption to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The increase is part of Tradewind’s broader initiative to support exporters trading with and from the Middle East amid the ongoing conflict.

With roughly 30 percent of global hydrocarbon flows normally passing through the Strait, the near-total blockage has forced widespread rerouting, adding weeks of transit time and significantly raising freight and insurance costs. At the same time, credit insurers are reducing political risk coverage in the region, and buyers are increasingly requesting payment terms of 30 to 120 days. The combined effect is a sharp increase in the working capital requirements of exporters active in the region.

In response, Tradewind has accelerated its facility review process for affected clients and is accommodating extended payment terms, providing cash advances within days of shipment so exporters do not have to choose between maintaining trade relationships and protecting their cash flow. The company continues to onboard new exporters from and into the Middle East at a time when many providers are tightening their criteria.

“Our clients require a financing partner that responds at the pace of disruption, not the pace of a traditional credit cycle,” said Ansgar Hütten, Executive Director at Tradewind Finance. “Scaling a facility from 45 to 50 million dollars in this timeframe is exactly the kind of responsiveness this environment demands, and it reflects how our teams on the ground operate when conditions get difficult.”

With more than 25 years of active operations in the Middle East and South Asia, Tradewind’s local teams have long supported exporters across the region. Past experience through volatile periods, including the early days of COVID-19, guides the company’s current response: stay present, stay flexible, and keep underwriting trade when others step away.

About Tradewind Finance
Tradewind Finance is a global trade finance company with over 25 years of experience in export factoring, supply chain finance, and structured trade solutions. With offices and partners in more than 14 countries, Tradewind helps exporters and importers manage cash flow, transfer buyer credit risk, and grow their international business.
