比優集團(09893.HK)的含「金」量

香港,2025年9月29日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 港股礦產資源板塊近期表現強勁,除了受惠於金價、銅價因減息週期、印尼大型銅礦停產而創出新高帶動外,還有備受市場矚目的紫金礦業(02899.HK)旗下紫金黃金國際分拆上市的熾熱招股反應。市傳紫金黃金國際公開發售股份錄得孖展超購逾190倍,凍資近4800億港元。此次全球發售還吸引了包括新加坡政府投資公司(GIC)、高瓴資本在內的超豪華基石投資者陣容。摩根士丹利、瑞銀等一眾國際投行因應目前市場情況已分別再度調升金價及銅價預測,並對未來的黃金、銅的價格維持上行走勢表示樂觀。從現貨黃金市場表現來看,9月26日亞市早盤時段現貨黃金於3739.08美元/盎司附近高位震盪,一度達3757.14美元/盎司,創下歷史新高點。而上海期貨交易所(SHFE)最活躍的銅期貨合約同日亦上漲0.32%,至每噸82420元人民幣(約11678.3美元)。紫金黃金國際的IPO熱潮與黃金、銅等價格的持續新高,為港股市場上的礦業股表現提供了絕佳的時間窗口。在聚焦板塊機會、挖掘潛力標的過程中,一間尚未被充分關注的企業——比優集團(09893.HK),其潛藏的「含『金』量」正值得深挖。作為港股市場稀缺的「礦山+民爆」概念股,比優集團通過差異化經營優勢,正逐步進入投資者的視野。其中,集團核心資產——安徽金鼎礦山,依託成熟的提金工藝和穩定的產能,正在成為公司業績的重要支撐。2025全年財報數據顯示,安徽金鼎共生產含金泥約850公斤,含金量約20%,折合純金產量約170公斤。銅金共生資源亦十分亮眼,2024全年開採77.9萬噸銅金礦,平均金品位0.66g/t,銅金精礦加工產出1.91萬噸,平均金品位顯著提升至16.75g/t,為黃金產能的持續釋放奠定了堅實基礎。隨著金、銅板塊關注度的不斷提升,兼具獨特商業模式與清晰成長路徑的比優集團,正迎來價值重估的關鍵窗口。板塊東風已至,價值重估正當時作為港股市場中唯一的民用爆破上市公司,公司已構建起"「民爆+礦山」垂直一體化業務格局。2025財年,公司實現營業額16.96億元人民幣(下同),同比增長24.09%;股東應佔溢利1.64億元,同比增長25.20%。在礦業板塊熱度提升的背景下,此類業務獨特、賽道專精的企業更易獲得流動性溢價與估值重塑的機會。值得注意的是,比優集團於2025年2月18日成功由港交所創業板轉至主板,成為港交所「簡化轉板機制」實施後的首個案例。這一轉變不僅是市場認同度提升的變更,更是公司治理結構、資訊披露透明度與投資者基礎的一次全面升級。隨著國際機構投資者的基礎擴大,比優集團自加入主板後,股價取得良好的漲幅。國際股票交易及投資信息平台Simply Wall Street 於9月15日發表的《Undervalued Small Caps With Insider Buying In Global For September 2025》文章將公司評選為全球十大被低估的中小盤股,較合理估值存在約42%的折讓空間。比優集團引起國際投資機構的注意,除業績佳、增長潛力大以外,公司的發展策略緊密契合國家政策與區域經濟脈絡亦是投資價值重點所在。在國內,安徽金鼎項目的產能持續釋放,並於2023年入選首批安徽省級綠色礦山企業。同時,西藏天仁項目已於2025年1月獲西藏自治區發改委核准,預計2026年底投產;海外業務方面,公司自2017年佈局塔吉克斯坦市場,已成為當地最大民爆生產商。這種深耕本土+出海的雙線佈局,合理分散了區域風險。安徽金鼎礦——穩健的"產能壓艙石"值得留意的是,根據年報披露,安徽金鼎項目持有黃屯硫鐵礦與銅金多金屬礦的採礦權,採礦許可證於2016年3月頒發,2043年8月才到期,並可依規延期。2025財年(截至3月31日)資料顯示,安徽金鼎項目經營狀況穩健,盈利水準持續提升,收入已佔總收入近半,成為集團穩定發展的堅實支點。據瞭解,安徽金鼎的15萬噸/年硫精礦焙砂提金選礦技術改造工程項目經一年多的試運行後,相關產能進一步釋放。2024財年該項目已實現黃金回收約170公斤;截至2025年1–8月,累計黃金產量已達150公斤,產能持續穩定釋放。安徽金鼎憑藉穩定的黃金產能、成熟的提金工藝及充足的資源儲備,將繼續發揮"壓艙石"的作用,為集團業績增長提供堅實保障。2025財年,安徽金鼎項目共生產礦石96.09萬噸,其中銅金礦77.91萬噸,平均品位金0.66 g/t、銅0.39%;硫鐵礦8.11萬噸,平均品位硫19.57%、金0.29 g/t;磁鐵礦10.08萬噸,平均品位鐵20.98%、金0.34 g/t。展現出強勁的產能兌現能力。根據John Boyd Mining Consulting(Beijing)Company Limited("博多")審核資料,截至2025年3月31日,安徽金鼎西區金銅礦探明資源量900萬噸、推斷資源量220萬噸。礦石儲量方面,西區金銅礦概略儲量772萬噸,東區硫鐵礦概略儲量657萬噸。充裕的資源儲備為產能的長期穩定釋放提供了堅實保障。排產計劃顯示,2026-2035年間,安徽金鼎年礦石產量將基本維持在100萬噸水準,其中銅金礦石佔比約82%,黃金品位維持在0.67-1.04 g/t區間,保證了黃金產出的連續性與穩定性。與此同時,還要留意其銅、硫鐵等的輸出,尤其在國際銅價保持在高位運行的預期下,安徽金鼎的利潤有望持續提升。來源:公司財報從業績貢獻來看,安徽金鼎礦業項目已然成為比優集團利潤增長的核心引擎。過去三年,收入實現跨越式增長,從2億元快速攀升至8.33億元,年複合增長率超過60%,收入佔比已與集團傳統民爆業務相當。同時,安徽金鼎"採礦-選礦-提金"的產業鏈與集團民爆業務形成協同效應——民爆產品為採礦環節提供爆破支援,有效降低運營成本,進一步強化盈利韌性,持續為集團貢獻穩定收益。在國際貴金屬價格狂飆,紫金黃金國際赴港上市所引領的板塊"東風"之下,比優集團已具備價值重估的多重催化劑。當下,市場資金開始系統性資金配置於估值落後的黃金資源與工業金屬股,這類治理完善、業務可見性強、且具備明確成長路徑的中小型企業,有望成為下一階段資金挖掘的重點目標。 Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Evergreen Profits Invests in Academic Labs Following $AAX Listing on Biconomy, Advancing a Universal Knowledge Layer for Decentralized AI Learning ACN Newswire

Evergreen Profits Invests in Academic Labs Following $AAX Listing on Biconomy, Advancing a Universal Knowledge Layer for Decentralized AI Learning

SINGAPORE, Sept 27, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Academic Labs, the team building the first Universal Database of Knowledge for decentralized autonomous learning, has secured a strategic investment from Evergreen Profits.The announcement follows the recent listing of Academic Labs’ native token, $AAX, on Biconomy—an inflection point that broadens liquidity and participation while aligning incentives across developers, contributors, and institutional partners.What is Academic Labs?Academic Labs is architecting a transparent, interoperable knowledge layer where AI agents can autonomously learn, verify, and teach skills.By combining gamified learning, DAO-based governance, and data interoperability, the project aims to create a consensus-driven intelligence substrate that is open, verifiable, and portable across ecosystems.Since launching its MVP in January 2024, Academic Labs has seen rapid adoption—200,000 videos and challenges completed in the first month—alongside notable community and institutional engagement through hackathons and courses at QS Top 50 universities. Its Project Education initiative now supports over 20 ecosystems and reaches more than two million people worldwide.On the market front, the project recorded over $6M in first-day trading volume on Gate and completed BGA’s light incubation program under Bybit.Strategic Timing: Post-$AAX Biconomy ListingThe timing of Evergreen Profits’ investment is strategically significant. With $AAX newly listed on Biconomy, Academic Labs gains distribution that can anchor real utility: staking for curation and quality assurance, contributor rewards for challenge creation and validation, and governance participation in how the Universal Knowledge Graph is expanded and audited.Investor Fit and ComplementarityEvergreen Profits’ thesis-driven approach—built on adapting to cyclical market regimes—complements this next phase by emphasizing operational discipline, risk-aware growth, and standards that support long-term composability. Their portfolio experience across AI, data, and Web3 is expected to inform Academic Labs’ interoperability roadmap and agent-facing APIs.The investment will be directed toward three priorities.First, deepening the core protocol: advancing the Universal Knowledge Graph, extending agent APIs, and implementing on-chain verifiable credentials for proof-of-skill.Second, strengthening governance and incentives: refining DAO mechanisms for reputation, staking, and curation to ensure that knowledge ingestion and validation are transparent, auditable, and resistant to manipulation.Third, accelerating ecosystem growth: expanding university partnerships, developer programs, and cross-chain integrations so that content supply, challenge design, and agent training data scale in tandem with quality controls.What distinguishes this partnership is its emphasis on verifiability and portability. In an environment increasingly shaped by agentic AI, the bottleneck is not model capacity but trustworthy, structured knowledge and the signals that govern its use.By coupling $AAX’s broadened liquidity with Evergreen Profits’ cycle-aware capital and operational guidance, Academic Labs aims to turn raw educational content into an on-chain, consensus-curated knowledge asset that AI agents can query, learn from, and contribute back to—while users retain visibility into provenance and incentives.About Academic LabsAcademic Labs is building the 1st Universal Database of Knowledge that empowers decentralized autonomous learning for AI agents that assist users in acquiring skills and knowledge, fostering consensus-based intelligence for all of human society. Through gamification, DAOs, and data interoperability, we offer a limitless, transparent, and personalized channel for sharing and learning various skills.Trade AAX: https://www.biconomy.com/exchange/AAX_USDTSocial LinksX: https://x.com/Acad_LabsTelegram Group: https://t.me/academic_labsLinktree: https://linktr.ee/academic_labsDiscord: https://discord.gg/academic-labsMedia ContactBrand: Academic LabsContact: Media teamWebsite: https://acad.live Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

植物能量狗狗糧:英國新研究顯示植物性犬糧帶來顯著環境效益 ACN Newswire

植物能量狗狗糧:英國新研究顯示植物性犬糧帶來顯著環境效益

倫敦, 2025年9月27日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 一項針對英國 31 種乾犬糧的全生命周期評估顯示,植物性飲食在所有主要環境指標上皆穩定優於肉類為基礎的替代方案。這項研究由諾丁漢大學的獸醫研究人員 Rebecca Brociek 與 David Gardner 教授主導,並發表於《永續食物系統前沿》(Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems),凸顯了寵物飼主與寵糧產業在減少生態「爪印」方面的重要契機。關鍵成果溫室氣體排放:植物性犬糧每 1,000 大卡僅產生 2.82 公斤二氧化碳當量,相比之下,牛肉配方高達 31.47 公斤,超過十倍之多。土地使用:植物性飲食每 1,000 大卡僅需 2.73 平方公尺土地,而牛肉製品則高達 102.15 平方公尺。用水量:植物性選項每 1,000 大卡耗用 249 公升淡水,遠低於牛肉(575 公升)或羊肉(684 公升)。營養與酸化污染:牛肉飲食所產生的酸化與優養化排放量,分別比植物性飲食高出 14 至 16 倍。中間方案:以家禽為基礎或半合成獸醫配方的影響雖低於紅肉,但仍遠高於植物性食品。在一般 9 年的壽命中,若一隻 20 公斤的拉布拉多犬完全食用植物性乾糧,將僅需 8,964 平方公尺土地,並產生相當於 2.8 趟倫敦—紐約往返航班的溫室氣體排放。若同樣的狗以牛肉為基礎的犬糧餵養,則需要 334,851 平方公尺土地,並排放相當於 31.3 趟倫敦—紐約往返航班的溫室氣體。為何重要隨著全球飼養寵物的人數不斷上升,寵物食品需求日益增加,動物性成分所帶來的環境衝擊已無法再被忽視。研究人員總結指出,在寵糧中增加植物性成分,是一種務實且可擴展的方法,可有效減少土地使用、排放、營養污染與水資源壓力,而不會影響熱量供應。研究並指出:「讓狗狗食用植物性飲食,將顯著提升家庭的環境永續性」,以及「低環境衝擊的寵糧成分,將是降低[寵糧]產業生態『爪印』的關鍵。」雖然有人認為使用副產品如「肉粉」會更具永續性,但研究發現,這些往往位列影響最大的成分之一,並未能真正縮小差距。更廣泛的脈絡這項研究支持了先前的相關研究。2023 年,獸醫學教授 Andrew Knight 曾證實,若全球的寵物犬全面改採營養完整的純素飲食,所節省的溫室氣體排放量將相當於 英國年排放量的 1.5 倍,同時可提供足以餵養 4.5 億人(約等於歐盟人口)的食物能量。到 2025 年底,已有至少11 篇經同儕審查的研究顯示,狗狗採用植物性飲食後健康狀況皆有正面結果。Knight 教授進一步說明:「較高比例的植物性成分,或營養完整的植物性飲食,能大幅減少伴侶動物的生態足跡。隨著意識逐漸提升,這類飲食可能會從小眾轉為主流——使我們對寵物的關愛,與對地球的責任相互契合。」聯絡資訊Andrew KnightVeterinary Professor of Animal Welfareandrew.knight@murdoch.edu.au+44 7577 899 61來源: Sustainable Pet Food Foundation Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Galaxy Payroll Group Supports Employers Amid U.S. H-1B Policy Changes

HONG KONG, Sep 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The recent Presidential Proclamation from the White House, instituting a substantial one-time fee of US$100,000 for new H-1B visa holders entering the United States, has created uncertainty for employers and professionals navigating the global talent market. While the policy aims to incentivize domestic hiring, it also accelerates the need for cost-effective and compliant international workforce solutions. Galaxy Payroll Group Limited (Nasdaq: GLXG) ("Galaxy" or the "Company"), a leading global payroll provider in the Asia-Pacific region, is committed to helping companies navigate these changes with its specialized suite of services.Rising Demand for EOR and International Payroll ServicesThe new regulation significantly increases the cost and complexity of relocating international talent to the U.S. In response, multinational corporations, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups with limited budgets, are expected to seek alternative deployment models to maintain access to a global talent pool without incurring prohibitive expenses.To circumvent the hefty fee and intricate visa processes, businesses are increasingly likely to adopt remote hiring models, engaging talent directly in their home countries. This shift drives demand for Employer of Record (EOR) and international payroll outsourcing services, which allow companies to legally employ staff abroad without establishing a local entity."This policy has created challenges for employers and workers alike," said Mr. Wai Hong Lao, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "Our expertise in payroll outsourcing and employment services across Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau, and Mainland China in the Asia-Pacific region positions us to help companies navigate these changes and ensure full compliance with local regulations."Enhanced Capabilities with Stablecoin SettlementsGalaxy Payroll Group has further enhanced its service offerings by supporting payroll settlements in stablecoins. This innovative payment method provides companies with a more efficient, transparent, and cost-effective solution for managing cross-border payroll, especially for remote employees. By leveraging stablecoins, Galaxy Payroll Group helps companies reduce the risks associated with currency fluctuations and streamline their international payroll processes.Accelerated Adoption of Integrated Payroll TechnologyAs companies build more distributed teams, the need for streamlined, transparent, and efficient cross-border payroll management becomes critical. Galaxy Payroll Group’s focused technological solutions are designed to simplify multi-jurisdiction payroll processing, tax calculations, and compliance reporting within its operational regions. This capability aligns perfectly with the growing need to manage dispersed teams effectively, making integrated payroll technology a necessity rather than a luxury.Broad Market Opportunity for All U.S. EmployersThe new policy presents significant challenges for companies of all sizes, from SMEs to large multinational corporations like Microsoft, which employ a large number of H-1B visa holders. Galaxy Payroll Group’s comprehensive suite of services, including EOR, international payroll outsourcing, and stablecoin settlements, offers scalable and flexible solutions tailored to meet the needs of businesses of all sizes. By leveraging these services, companies can continue to access skilled professionals globally, ensuring they remain competitive in the international talent market."Our services are designed to support companies across the spectrum, from SMEs to large multinational corporations," Mr. Lao noted.

SCGJWD Logistics (SET: SJWD) implements roadmap further expanding cold storage investment base from CLMV + China to high-growth ASEAN countries

BANGKOK, Sept 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - SCGJWD Logistics PCL (SET: SJWD), the largest integrated logistics and supply chain service provider in ASEAN, is further expanding its cold storage warehouse business, increasing coverage from the CLMV + China group of countries to Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore. This enlarged regional cluster reinforces the Company's position as a strong Cold Chain Hub in ASEAN, capitalizing on the growth of cold storage in the region and leveraging cold storage as a growth driver for the core business.SCGJWD Logistics Co-CEOs: Mr. Bunn Kasemsup (L) and Mr. Charvanin Bunditkitsada (R)Mr. Bunn Kasemsup, Co-CEO of SCGJWD Logistics, remarked that the Company recognized the economic growth potential in Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore as leading ASEAN countries driving regional economies. "We are expanding our cold storage warehouse and temperature-controlled transport business from the 'CLMV + China' group of countries (Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Vietnam + China) to these Southeast Asian countries to enhance our position as a Cold Chain Hub in ASEAN – a strong center of the cold storage warehouse business in ASEAN, including the creation of a regional cold storage warehouse clusters."SCGJWD has invested in logistics services in Indonesia since 2017 through joint venture PT SCG Barito Logistics, and is capable of providing country-wide logistics services, covering the major islands of Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Bali, and Maluku. Services include land transport, general warehousing and dangerous goods storage, with a fleet of more than 200 trucks. In 2025, SCGJWD expects to realize a revenue of US$45 million, an 8% year-on-year increase, mainly from serving customers within the SCGJWD Group and Thai companies investing in Indonesia. SCGJWD has also entered into a joint venture with the Samudera Group, a major Indonesian shipping line operator, to manage cold storage warehouses, and is in negotiations for a business collaboration with a major Indonesian cold storage warehouse operator, which runs seven cold storage warehouses with a combined capacity of 30,000-40,000 pallets.In the Philippines, SCGJWD partnered with Royal Cargo, Inc (RCI), a leading integrated logistics and cold storage service provider in the country, to establish SCG Logistics Philippines Co., Ltd., a joint venture in 2023. SCGJWD recognized growth opportunities in the cold storage business in the Philippines and the potential in Royal Cargo, which operates over 140,000 square meters of cold storage space, capable of accommodating over 33,000 pallets. Discussions are currently underway to further expand investment in the Philippines.Malaysia was the latest country SCGJWD has invested in, partnering with Swift Haulage Berhad (SWIFT), a major integrated logistics service provider listed on the Malaysian Stock Exchange, to establish joint venture Swift Cold Chain Sdn Bhd to invest in three cold storage warehouse projects. These are: (1) The GVL Cold Chain project, within Shah Alam International Logistics Hub covering approximately 11,000 m2 with a 10,000 pallet capacity. Construction is expected to be completed in Q4 2025 for service in early 2026; (2) The cold storage warehouse project in Johor Bahru covering 10,000 m2 with a 10,000 pallet capacity. Preparations to start construction are currently under way and are expected to be completed in Q4 2026. Both these projects will require a total investment of more than 800 million baht; (3) The cold storage warehouse construction project in Penang, with an area of 10,000 to 20,000 m2. This project is expected to be finalized in Q1 2027."SCGJWD prioritizes the expansion of its logistics clusters in Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore, all of which are leading ASEAN countries with high growth potential. However, due to their archipelago-like geography, freight transport requires expertise and a truly comprehensive service network including solutions to meet the specific needs and addressing logistics and supply chain issues for customers. Therefore, we offer a wide range of services, including land, rail, and water transport; cold storage; general warehousing; and international freight forwarding, to meet the logistics needs of customers in each country and to ship goods from Singapore to Malaysia, the Philippines, or Indonesia," Mr Bunn said.Mr. Charvanin Bunditkitsada, Co-CEO of SCGJWD, stated that the 'CLMV + China' markets are strategically important for SCGJWD's cold storage business, with a broad market base covering both domestic consumption and import-export markets. This collaboration enables SCGJWD to connect and enhance its cross-border transportation services for temperature-controlled goods and general goods on the Thailand-ASEAN-China route. This has also led SCGJWD to adapt its transportation models and routes, including providing cross-border transportation services from other countries to Cambodia during the border closure period.SCGJWD, in collaboration with its partner RMA, has expanded its cold storage warehouse in Cambodia by 1,200 m2, bringing the total floor area to 3,400 m2, with an investment of US$550,000 (approximately 17.5 million baht). Recently, the Company partnered with Express Food Group (EFG), Cambodia's major operator of food chain franchises, including The Pizza Company, Dairy Queen, and Swensen's, to import and transport cooking equipment from Thailand to Cambodia. The Company offered a solution during border closure by adjusting the transportation route through Laos and Vietnam to Cambodia, as well as by sea routes. Furthermore, the Company provided services to 'TOUS les JOURS', a customer of EFG, to transport baking ingredients from Vietnam to its 6-7 branches in Cambodia. The Company also plans to expand its logistics services through a collaboration with its Vietnamese partner Transimex, which is a comprehensive end-to-end logistics provider, to supply temperature-controlled freight services for BigC.SCGJWD's goal is to make cold storage and temperature-controlled transportation a core growth driver, which aligns with the overall projection of the cold storage business in ASEAN from 2022 to 2027. A good example is Indonesia, whose total cold storage market is expected to increase by nearly 80%, from US$6.9 to US$12.5 billion. The Philippines' market is likewise expected to increase by 46.5% from US$5 to US$7.4 billion. Malaysia's market is expected to increase by 29.5% from US$1.836 to US$2.377 billion, and Singapore's market is forecast to increase by 25.6 percent from US$829 million to US$1.041 billion, while Vietnam's market is projected to increase by 47.2% from US$4.3 to US$6.4 billion, and Thailand's market is expected to increase by 38.7% from US$3.4 to US$4.7 billion.In Thailand, SCGJWD is currently expanding its investment in ten cold storage warehouses in six provinces, covering strategic industrial areas of Samut Sakhon, Samut Prakan, Pathum Thani, Chachoengsao, and Saraburi, as well as the northern province of Chiang Mai, with a combined floor area of over 160,000 square meters, able to support over 100,000 tons of goods or 240,000 pallets. Plans are also afoot to expand investment in Surat Thani and Khon Kaen provinces to increase service potential to ultimately cover all regions of Thailand.For more information, please visit https://www.scgjwd.com/en Press release by MT Multimedia Co Ltd for SCGJWD Logistics PCL.For more information, please contact:Thiyaporn Sriadunphan (Dah)Tel: +66 87 556 6974E-mail: thiyaporn.s@mtmultimedia.comAbout SCGJWD Logistics PCL (SET: SJWD)SCGJWD Logistics PCL was created when SCG Logistics Management Co Ltd and JWD InfoLogistics PCL, two leading logistics and supply chain service providers at the ASEAN level, together announced a merger deal on Oct 24, 2022, to become the largest Integrated Logistics and Supply Chains Solutions Provider in ASEAN.

Plant-Powered Pups: New Study Shows Dramatic Environmental Gains From Plant-Based Dog Food in the UK ACN Newswire

Plant-Powered Pups: New Study Shows Dramatic Environmental Gains From Plant-Based Dog Food in the UK

LONDON, Sept 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A new life cycle assessment of 31 dry dog foods in the UK reveals that plant-based diets consistently outperform meat-based alternatives across every major environmental measure. Conducted by University of Nottingham veterinary researchers Rebecca Brociek and Professor David Gardner, and published in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, the study underscores a major opportunity for pet owners and the pet food industry to shrink their ecological "pawprint."Key ResultsGreenhouse gas emissions: Plant-based foods produced just 2.82 kg CO₂-eq per 1,000 kcal, compared to 31.47 kg for beef-based formulas - over ten times higher.Land use: Plant-based diets required 2.73 m² per 1,000 kcal, versus 102.15 m² for beef-based products.Water use: Plant-based options consumed 249 L of freshwater per 1,000 kcal, far less than beef (575 L) or lamb (684 L).Nutrient and acidification pollution: Beef-based diets generated 14-16 times more acidifying and eutrophying emissions respectively, than plant-based equivalents.Middle ground: Poultry-based and semi-synthetic veterinary formulas had lower impacts than red meat, but still much higher than plant-based foods.Over a typical nine-year lifespan, feeding a 20 kg Labrador exclusively on plant-based dry food would require 8,964 m² of land and emit greenhouse gases equal to 2.8 London-New York return flights. The same dog fed on beef-based food would need 334,851 m² of land and emit the equivalent of 31.3 such flights.Why It MattersWith pet ownership on the rise worldwide and demand for pet foods increasing, the environmental impact of animal-based ingredients can no longer be overlooked. The researchers conclude that increasing plant-based ingredients in pet diets provides a practical and scalable way to reduce land use, emissions, nutrient pollution, and water stress - without compromising caloric value.They note, "feeding your dog plant-based will significantly improve a households' environmentally sustainability", and that, "… lower-impact pet food ingredients will be essential in reducing the [pet food] sector's ecological paw print."While some suggest that using meat by-products like ‘meat meals' is more sustainable, the study found these often ranked among the highest-impact ingredients, failing to bridge the gap.Broader ContextThis work supports earlier research. In 2023, veterinary professor Andrew Knight demonstrated that switching pet dogs worldwide to nutritionally sound vegan diets could save greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 1.5 times the UK's annual output, while providing enough food energy to feed 450 million people, equivalent to the EU population. By late 2025, at least 11 peer-reviewed studies had also shown positive health outcomes for dogs fed plant-based diets.As Prof. Knight explained, "Higher proportions of plant-based ingredients, or nutritionally complete plant-based diets, can substantially reduce the ecological footprints of companion animals. As awareness grows, such diets may shift from niche to mainstream - aligning our care for pets with responsibility for the planet."Contact InformationAndrew KnightVeterinary Professor of Animal Welfareandrew.knight@murdoch.edu.au+44 7577 899 61SOURCE: Sustainable Pet Food Foundation Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Chery Auto Listed on HKEX: Backed by Cornerstone Investors, Dual Drivers of New Energy and Globalization Accelerate Growth

HONG KONG, Sep 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – The Hong Kong stock market has continued its recovery trend since the beginning of the year, with IPO market remaining robust. On September 25, Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. (“Chery Auto,” stock code: 9973.HK), a leading Chinese independent passenger vehicle brand, was officially listed on the HKEX, marking one of the most notable large-scale IPOs of the year.In this IPO, Chery Auto attracted cornerstone investments totaling approximately US$587 million from over ten institutions, including Hillhouse, Greenwoods, Huangshan Construction Investment, Nexchip, Horizon Robotics, Dajia Life, Martis Fund, Gotion HK, Hefei Jianhui, PSBC Wealth, and Xingyu Co., Ltd. The participation of well-known institutions, players across the industrial chain, and local government entities underscores the market’s confidence in Chery Auto’s long-term growth potential and highlights its pivotal position within the automotive industry chain. The strong alignment of multiple stakeholders not only safeguards Chery Auto’s successful listing but also builds a broader collaborative ecosystem for its future business expansion.Dual Focus on ICE and NEV to Seize Opportunities in Industry TransformationChery Auto started out with internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and has built strong competitive barriers in the traditional powertrain segment, underpinned by comprehensive system capabilities and deep technological expertise. This has laid a solid foundation for its subsequent diversified development. Leveraging its advanced technological strength, Chery Auto has developed classic ICE product lines such as Tiggo and Arrizo. In 2024, sales volume of ICE vehicles rose by more than 29% year-on-year, serving as a key “ballast” for the Company’s performance.While consolidating its strengths in ICE vehicles, Chery Auto has also identified the global industry trends of “electrification and intelligentization”. With a core strategy of “in-house R&D + scenario-based application”, the Company has established a differentiated competitive edge in new energy and smart mobility. Today, it has built a full-spectrum powertrain portfolio covering “pure electric + hybrid + range-extender” models, achieving strong synergy and complementarity with its ICE business and driving continuous enhancement of its brand value.In hybrid sector, Chery Auto’s independently developed ACTECO 1.5TGDI hybrid engine is the first range-extender electric vehicle engine in China to receive the “Premium Drive” certification from the China Automotive Technology and Research Center. With a maximum thermal efficiency of 44.5%, it surpasses the industry average of around 40% for hybrid engines in Chinese-brand passenger vehicles. In pure electric sector, the E0X platform-based LUXEED R7, equipped with an 800V “Giant Whale” high voltage battery platform, achieves a recharge up to 200 km within five minutes. In January 2025, it topped the sales chart for battery electric mid-to-large SUVs in China, demonstrating strong competitiveness in the pure electric sector. Additionally, the Company focuses on “user experience implementation” by developing the “Lion Intelligent Cockpit” system and driving assistance system, further enhancing product competitiveness. In 2024, the Company’s new energy vehicle sales surged by 267.4% year-on-year, ranking first among the global top 20 passenger vehicle companies.Deepening Global Presence to Unlock New Growth OpportunitiesAs the leading exporter of Chinese domestic brand passenger vehicle, Chery Auto has established a comprehensive global network for R&D, manufacturing, and sales since its first export in 2001, setting a benchmark for Chinese domestic brands “going global”. In terms of the sales network layout, the Company’s products are available in over 100 countries and regions. As of 31 March 2025, Chery Auto boasts 1,092 overseas distributors across Asia (excluding China), Europe, Africa, Oceania, and the Americas, with a total of 2,958 overseas sales outlets. It has maintained the top position in Chinese domestic brand passenger vehicle for 22 consecutive years since 2003. In 2024, Chery Auto’s overseas sales surged by 37.4% year-on-year, generating overseas revenue of RMB97.87 billion, accounting for 39.7% of its total revenue.From a regional perspective, Chery Auto has secured leading positions in multiple key overseas markets. In 2024, the Company ranked first in sales among Chinese domestic brand passenger vehicle companies in Europe, South America, and the Middle East & North Africa region. In North America and Asia (excluding China), it ranked second in sales among its Chinese peers. According to Frost & Sullivan, the Tiggo 7 was the best-selling passenger vehicle model among Chinese domestic brand passenger vehicle in terms of export volume in 2024. In the premium segment, the EXEED brand ranked first in export volume among Chinese domestic premium automotive brands.Leveraging its existing global foundation, Chery Auto plans to further upgrade its overseas strategy through this listing on the HKEX. According to the prospectus, the Company intends to allocate 20% of the proceeds from the IPO to overseas market expansion. On the production front, Chery Auto will establish new production facilities in Southeast Asian countries like Vietnam and Malaysia, while expanding existing overseas factories to enhance localized production capabilities. In R&D, it will strengthen its presence in Europe, Southeast Asia, and North America, focusing on developing new energy vehicles and smart driving technologies tailored to local markets. For sales channels, Chery Auto will further densify its global sales and service network. The implementation of these initiatives is expected to unlock significant new growth opportunities for the Company.From its humble beginnings in a "small thatched shed" in 1997 to its current position among the Fortune Global 500, Chery Auto has consistently led the industry with a pioneering spirit that dares to challenge conventions. This listing on the HKEX marks the beginning of a new phase of capital empowerment, bringing greater possibilities for advancing its new energy strategy and expanding into overseas markets. Looking ahead, with continuous iterations in new energy and intelligent products and the further expansion of its global network, Chery Auto is well positioned to sustain its high-quality growth trajectory and achieve both performance and value enhancement.
