To kick off the anniversary of SPRG, colleagues are offered bubble tea, refreshments and massages on their first working day of the new year.Richard Tsang, Founder and Chairman of SPRG, said, “The chewy bubbles represent pearls, which fit perfectly with our 30th anniversary theme. Just as pearls take time to form and develop their lustre, SPRG has over time developed and grown in stature. In the past 30 years, we have navigated a complex and ever-changing global political and economic landscape. We have had to face each challenge with agility, resilience and unwavering commitment, and these qualities have enabled SPRG to evolve from a local office in Hong Kong into one of the largest PR groups in the APAC region, boasting a cohesive family of 20 member companies.

With academic backing and an in-depth understanding of global trends, SPRG will conduct targeted surveys and research to provide tailored solutions to clients and the community. SPRG believes that such endeavours will not only meet the evolving needs of existing clients, but will also attract new ones, as well as further diversify the Group’s service offerings.In line with its service diversification efforts, SPRG launched Strategic DigitaLab (SDL) In 2024, the Group took a significant step forward by refreshing the SDL brand image. With exceptional storytelling capabilities, SDL excels across multiple platforms, attracting clients seeking large-scale content creation services that engage and inspire their target audiences. By harnessing collaborative creativity and digital expertise, SPRG is well positioned to seize early opportunities and meet the demands of major clients in this rapidly evolving landscape.In 2024, SPRG also sharpened its competitive edge by acquiring full ownership of Financial & Corporate Relations Pty Limited (FCR), an IR/financial communications agency with a 40-year legacy based in Sydney, Australia. This acquisition enhances the Group's ability to serve clients in the southern hemisphere, and SPRG looks forward to achieving breakthroughs with FCR's support.SPRG’s commitment to excellence has resulted in over 540 awards and accolades received since its inception, including Asia Pacific Network of the Year, Public Relations Agency of the Year in Asia Pacific, Public Relations Agency of the Year in Asia, Greater China Independent Agency of the Year, Hong Kong Consultancy of the Year, Asia Pacific Financial Consultancy of the Year, Best Crisis Management Team, and Market Leadership in Public Relations, etc. “We would not be celebrating our 30th anniversary and the many successes that have come without the steadfast dedication and teamwork of our colleagues”, said Richard. “As SPRG embarks on a new chapter of development, we will remain committed to excellence and innovation in the public relations industry. In the future, we will continue to enhance service offerings, embrace automation and technology, and offer training and exposure to our teams.

SHANGHAI, China - January 2, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Everest Medicines (HKEX 1952.HK, 'Everest', or the 'Company'), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, clinical development, manufacturing and commercialization of innovative therapeutics, today announced that with the official implementation of the latest update of the National Reimbursement Drug List ("NRDL") on January 1, 2025, NEFECON(R) will apply the NRDL pricing, which will benefit more IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients.NEFECON(R) was included in the NRDL in November 2024. As the first IgAN etiological treatment drug fully approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA), NEFECON(R) received NDA approval from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) of China in November 2023 through Priority Review. It is the only approved treatment for primary IgAN in adults at risk of disease progression in China.Based on policies in various provinces and cities, NEFECON(R) will be eligible for NRDL reimbursement starting in January. Patients will be able to obtain the medication at designated medical institutions or pharmacies and benefit from the reimbursed pricing. The official implementation of the NRDL will expand the accessibility of NEFECON(R), alleviate the financial burden on patients, and enable more IgAN patients in China to benefit from this innovative drug.Results from the Chinese population of the Phase 3 clinical study NefIgArd study shows that NEFECON(R) reduces kidney function decline by 66%, and delays disease progression to dialysis or kidney transplantation by 12.8 years. With its innovative mechanism of action and clinical advantages, NEFECON(R) has been recommended by several authoritative treatment guidelines. Most recently, it was included in the KDIGO 2024 Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Immunoglobulin A Nephrophthy (IgAN) and Immunoglobulin A Vasculitis (IgAV) (Public Review Draft), issued by the kidney disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) organization.About NEFECON(R)NEFECON(R) is a patented oral, delayed release formulation of budesonide, a corticosteroid with potent glucocorticoid activity and weak mineralocorticoid activity that undergoes substantial first pass metabolism. The formulation is designed as a delayed release capsule that is enteric coated so that it remains intact until it releases budesonide to the distal ileum. Each capsule contains coated beads of budesonide that target mucosal B-cells present in the ileum where the disease originates, as per the predominant pathogenesis models.In June 2019, Everest Medicines entered into an exclusive, royalty-bearing license agreement with Calliditas Therapeutics, which gives Everest Medicines exclusive rights to develop and commercialize NEFECON(R) in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, China and Singapore. The agreement was extended in March 2022 to include South Korea as part of Everest Medicine's territories.About Everest MedicinesEverest Medicines is a biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, developing, manufacturing and commercializing transformative pharmaceutical products and vaccines that address critical unmet medical needs for patients in Asian markets.

WINCHESTER, ENGLAND, Jan 3, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Millions of people try vegan diets each January as part of the global Veganuary campaign. In 2024, roughly 25 million people sought a fresh start for their health and the environment through vegan diets. Yet in the decade since Veganuary was founded in 2014, dogs and cats have been almost entirely excluded. Now however, veterinary Professor Andrew Knight is calling for Veganuary to be extended to pets.Writing in The Conversation, Knight notes that dogs and cats may also experience health benefits associated with vegan diets: "By late 2024, 11 studies in dogs, three in cats, and one systematic review covering both had all demonstrated that dogs and cats thrive on modern vegan or vegetarian diets. Certain health benefits appear consistent, such as a reduction in obesity and of conditions that may be triggered by animal-sourced allergens, like itchy skin and ears and gastrointestinal problems." However, he notes that "all diets, including vegan diets, should be manufactured by reputable pet food companies which carefully formulate their food to be nutritionally sound."Professor Knight is a very experienced dog and cat veterinarian with a PhD in vegan pet food. His most recent study examined the environmental benefits of such diets. These shattered long-standing assumptions that it is only people who need to change their diets for environmental reasons.Knight found that in nations with high pet ownership - such as the US, pet food consumes around 20% of all land animals killed for food, as well as billions of fish and marine animals. Globally, it's around 9% - even after accounting for the use of by-products of human food production.This means at least six billion land animals are killed each year to feed the world's approximately 470 million pet dogs. Use of nutritionally sound vegan dog food would provide enormous savings of land and fresh water, which could be used for reforestation, re-wilding, biodiversity increase, and carbon capture. It would spare a staggering 0.57 gigatonnes (1 gigatonne is 1 billion tonnes) of CO2-equivalent greenhouse gases each year - 1.5 times the 0.38 gigatonnes emitted by the whole of the UK in 2023.Because most plant calories fed to livestock animals are lost during conversion to meat, milk or eggs, directly consuming plant-based ingredients can also save food energy. A global transition to vegan dog food would spare sufficient food energy to feed around 450 million people annually - or the entire human population of the EU.Sustainability benefits are large even considering the world's roughly 370 million pet cats. A global transition to nutritionally sound vegan cat food would spare sufficient food energy to feed around 70 million people annually - larger than the human population of the UK.Said Knight, "An average-sized dog can consume as much meat as a person. If you want better health and environmental outcomes in 2025, try Veganuary - and please don't forget your pets!" Advice is available via his website.Contact InformationAndrew KnightVeterinary Professor of Animal Welfareandrew.knight@murdoch.edu.auSOURCE: Representing Animals Foundation Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

香港, 2025年1月2日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 經過多年的爆發式增長後，現製飲品市場的競爭依舊激烈。在眾多品牌中，蜜雪冰城的表現引起了市場的關註。作為中國及全球最大的現製飲品龍頭（以截至2024年9月30日門店數計），蜜雪冰城在規模、供應鏈、品牌力等方面構築了良好的競爭優勢，穩居行業領先地位。1月1日，蜜雪冰城更新港股A1招股書，其業務表現又有哪些新的突破？國內國外穩步擴張 門店數躍居全球第一隨著行業度過跑馬圈地的高速擴張期，如何挖掘新的業務增量，已成為頭部品牌們面臨的一道必答題。蜜雪冰城通過聚焦下沉與出海這兩大極具發展潛力的市場，穩步推進其門店擴張戰略，捕捉市場發展機遇。國內市場方面，蜜雪冰城憑藉廣泛的門店網絡，持續滲透三四線以及鄉鎮下沉市場。截至2024年9月30日，公司在中國內地的門店數超過40,000家，覆蓋超過300個地級市、1,700個縣城和4,900個鄉鎮，其中超過23,000家位於三線及以下城市，占比達到57.2%。在國內穩居市場鰲頭的同時，蜜雪冰城積極響應一帶一路倡議，積極進軍海外市場。截至2024年9月30日，公司在中國內地以外擁有約4,800家門店，包括印尼、越南、馬來西亞、泰國、菲律賓、柬埔寨、老撾、新加坡、澳大利亞、韓國和日本11個國家以及香港和澳門地區。其中，越南和印尼兩國開店數量分別超過1,300家及2,600家，成為公司國際化佈局的主力。得益於國際國內的同步發力，2024前九個月，蜜雪冰城淨增門店數超過7,700家（相較於2023年底）。截至2024年9月30日，公司門店數超過45,000家，就門店數量而言，蜜雪冰城已超越星巴克，成為中國以及全球最大的現制飲品企業。門店表現亮眼 業績高基數之上延續增長值得一提的是，蜜雪冰城並非單純追求門店數量的增長，而是經過深入研究市場需求、消費趨勢之後的精心佈局，這使其新開門店能夠快速站穩腳跟，為可持續發展奠定堅實基礎。從2024年前9個月的平均單店日均終端營業額看，2024年新開業的門店平均單店日均終端營業額表現不輸老店。同時，蜜雪冰城老店的運營表現也十分穩健。得益於精準的市場洞察、持續的產品創新、高效的供應鏈管理以及強大的市場口碑，老店（2021年或之前開業門店）的平均單店日均終端營業額在2021年至2023年期間仍呈現年化4%以上的增長，2023年及以前開業的門店在2024年前九個月的平均單店日均終端營業額均超過2023年全年的水平。在高效門店擴張戰略的支持下，蜜雪冰城在過往較高業績基數的基礎上，依然實現了收入、利潤的雙雙增長，盈利能力進一步提升。2024年前9個月，實現收入人民幣187億元，同比增長超過21%；淨利潤人民幣35億元，同比增長超過42%。毛利率為32.4%，同比提升2.7個百分點；净利率為18.7%，同比提升2.8個百分點。中長期看，隨著城鎮化的持續推進以及居民收入水平的提升，現製飲品消費數量和消費能力將不斷增長，為行業發展提供廣闊的市場空間。蜜雪冰城以高性價比產品俘獲用戶心智，國內市場持續深耕下沉市場，將進一步鞏固其領先優勢，同時，國際化戰略的深入推進也將為公司打造新的增長引擎。在國內國際市場共同驅動下，蜜雪冰城有望釋放更大的增長彈性。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Dec 30, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Hong Kong's healthcare engineering sectors have actively responded to the Hong Kong SAR Government's efforts to promote advanced and modern construction technologies for fostering efficient building construction practices. In 2020, the industry adopted the innovative “Modular Integrated Construction” (MiC) technology, coupled with the “Multi-trade Integrated Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing” (MiMEP) construction method, to construct the world’s first high-standard negative-pressure isolation ward module that could be assembled and deployed fast and easy. The module was repurposed for anti-epidemic use during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic that year. After the pandemic, the negative-pressure isolation ward module was put on public display at the CIC-Zero Carbon Park in Kowloon Bay to promote the MiC construction method. When the about two-year display ends in 2025, parts of the module will be recycled for purposes including reuse and further research. The project has demonstrated the immense potential of innovative engineering technologies in serving public health needs and laid a solid foundation for modular design in constructing infectious disease isolation facilities.The engineering sector in Hong Kong putting all heads together, applying innovative thinking and technologies, contributed to the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic raging in 2020. It took the industry only four months, starting from initial sketching to completing the project, to deliver in May 2020 a negative-pressure isolation ward meets hospital-grade standards, the first of its kind globally and was later hailed as the “Hong Kong version of Huoshenshan Hospital.” The facility exemplified the professionalism, innovative spirit, and rapid crisis response capabilities of Hong Kong’s engineering sector. Moreover, it has provided a significant reference model for the concerned global community in addressing similar events.The project used advanced MiC technology, plus the MiMEP construction method, which together significantly enhanced construction efficiency, shortening the entire construction cycle to just about a month. MiC technology enabled close to 80% of the construction process to be prefabricated in factories before being transported to the site for rapid assembly, adjustment, and testing. The approach not only drastically reduced on-site construction time, but also ensured high-quality standards and sustainability. Rigorous ventilation tests verified that the isolation ward could provide an effective negative-pressure environment, efficiently blocking the spread of highly infectious airborne viral particles. A distinctive feature of the design is it does not rely on a centralised air conditioning system with extensive external ventilation ducts. Instead, the MiMEP system's built-in ventilation and air conditioning provide a self-sufficient airflow design, effectively controlling infection. Given her limited land resources, Hong Kong needs designs that can fit into small spaces, and the project was then a “highly condensed design” unprecedented in the world.Ir Prof P L YUEN, Past President of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE), Past Vice President of the United Kingdom Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE), and Chairman of the Hong Kong Branch of the United Kingdom Institute of Healthcare Engineering and Estate Management (IHEEM), said, “Inspired by the country’s 'Huoshenshan' project at the time, we began exploring how to construct high-standard isolation wards for limited spaces. The design required interlocking double-door control to precisely regulate airflow. To ease transportation, using the dimensions like those of a standard shipping container in our blueprint was an ideal option. By integrating MiC and MiMEP construction methods, we achieved a self-sufficient ventilation and air-conditioning design for the ward, matching with a compact electrical and mechanical module to supply its power and other engineering services demand. That innovative design was also the world’s first at the time." Prof Yuen also shared this design with fellow engineers, fostering collaboration to construct more suitable isolation facilities.Professor Yuen added, "The successful project shows that engineering innovation has a vital role to play in addressing public health challenges. While this project has fulfilled its historical mission, it is not the end. I hope it will encourage wider adoption of the proven method, novel and efficient, in other advanced building projects, which the Government is keen to promote. Furthermore, I hope it will inspire more local engineers to embrace innovation and technology, and together show and tell the many success stories of Hong Kong engineering."Ir Prof P L Yuen, Past President of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers(HKIE), Past Vice President of the United Kingdom Chartered Institution ofBuilding Services Engineers (CIBSE), and Chairman of the Hong Kong Branchof the United Kingdom Institute of Healthcare Engineering and EstateManagement (IHEEM), expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the engineeringsector for their unwavering support. Working as one, in 2020, , the industry adopted the advanced “Modular Integrated Construction” (MiC) technology,coupled withthe “Multi-trade Integrated Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing” (MiMEP)construction method, to construct the world’s first high-standard negative-pressure isolation ward module that could be assembled and deployed superfast, marking a groundbreaking achievement of Hong Kong’s engineering sector.The design of the high-standard negative-pressure isolation ward featuresa self-sufficient airflow system enabled by the MiMEP construction method,that does not require a centralised air-conducting system withextensive external ventilation ducts. The built-in ventilation and air-conditioning system can effectively control infection by creating the necessary airflow path in the ward. Picture shows Prof Yuen conducting a smoke test showing air only flowing in one direction into the ward or being extracted through the ventilation system.Rigorous ventilation tests verified that the high-standard negative-pressureisolation ward can provide a high-quality negative-pressure environment,effectively blocking the transmission of highly infectious airborne particles to outside occupying areas.After the pandemic, the high-standard negative-pressure isolation ward module was put on an about two-year public display at the CIC-Zero CarbonPark in Kowloon Bay to promote the “Modular Integrated Construction” (MiC)method. When the display ends in 2025, some components of the module willbe recycled for purposes including reuse and further research.In addition to the double interlocking door control systems installed at the entrances to regulate airflow, the high-standard negative-pressure isolation ward is equipped with ultraviolet (UV) disinfection dual-door pass-through boxes to give patients convenience access to external supplieswhile minimising the need for medical staff to enter and exit the ward, assuch reduce viral transmission risks.The design of the ward eliminates the need for extensive external ventilation ducts or a centralised air-conditioning system. Instead, it utilises the self-sufficient ventilation and air-conditioning system coming with the MiMEP construction method that ensures a controlled only-into-the-ward airflow to effective prevent infection transmission.The design of the ward eliminates the need for extensive external ventilation ducts or a centralised air-conditioning system.

MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO, Dec 27, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Language-learning innovator Angeline Pompei now offers an app for The Bilingual Book Company, which offers bilingual audiobooks based on interest-based learning for kids and language students, revolutionizing how listeners experience and learn languages through bilingual books."Bilingual audiobooks inspire curiosity and empower children to explore their interests independently in two languages," Angeline said. "Now available on the app in addition desktop version, users can listen to and read bilingual audiobooks with line-by-line translation, making language learning accessible and enjoyable for people of all ages."The seamless and engaging app is another milestone for The Bilingual Book Company in providing high-quality bilingual audiobooks for children and language students. The line-by-line translation capability ensures that listeners can follow along with the text in their native language while simultaneously hearing the audio in the target language. This approach has proven to enhance comprehension and retention, making it an invaluable tool for language learners.The app supports different language combinations, including English paired with Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean. It caters to the learners' needs, whether a native English speaker looking to learn Spanish or a Korean speaker interested in improving her English.The user-friendly interface allows users to select their preferred language combination. Users should turn off any page translators to see the bilingual text on the site.The app features a language section with verbs separated by pronouns. There is repeating text and audio for pattern recognition to help with memorization. Angeline says, "We are learning differently. As a language learner and visual hands-on learner myself, I decided to replicate text and audio so that the language students could really see the patterns and rules of conjugation.The Bilingual Book Company provides bilingual books for kids to read and listen to subjects that interest them to effectively learn a new language and make it part of their daily activities or routines. "Interest based learning is a key component to the program. I believe language learners, both children and adults, will study longer if they are truly interested in the topic," Angeline stated. The varied selection allows children to pick a fascinating topic and learn about it in two languages - so language learning is not the sole focus."I created my own material, which was just line-by-line translations in English-Spanish and English-French," Angeline said in an exclusive interview. "I started producing bilingual books and took it a step further by creating bilingual audio, utilizing artificial voices that mimic authentic English, Spanish, and French speakers, allowing listeners to follow along with the text."Angeline said "Having a variety of books also empowers children to choose what they want to read or learn about, making them confident lifelong learners. "Acquiring a language takes time and daily practice. It was important for me to make learning a positive addition to a child or the language student's daily routine."For more information about The Bilingual Book Company and its new app, please visit www.thebilingualbookcompany.com.About Angeline PompeiAngeline Pompei is an entrepreneur, recording artist and adult language learner with a degree in aerospace engineering and a TELF certification to teach English internationally as a second language.
