SEOUL, S.KOREA, Oct 22, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - South Korean hospitality tech company HEROWORKS is set to enter the Singapore market by introducing its hotel revenue management solution, 'DatAmenity.'- HEROWORKS to Participate in 'TTA 2024', the Largest Tourism & Tech Expo in the Asia-Pacific Region- HEROWORKS to Supply its Hotel Revenue Management Solution 'DatAmenity' to the Singapore Market- Seeking Global Tourism Partners to Target the Asian Market with Localized SystemsHEROWORKS has been selected as a participating company for the Travel & Tech Expo organized by the Singapore Tourism Enterprises Support Center (KTSC). From the 23rd to the 25th of this month, HEROWORKS will attend 'Travel Tech Asia (TTA) 2024' and '2024 ITB-Asia' at the Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre in Singapore, seeking new business opportunities targeting the Asian hospitality tech market.With the aim of providing optimized solutions for the Singapore market, HEROWORKS will engage in networking and one-on-one investment meetings with key stakeholders, including venture capitalists, angel investors, and other investors. Through business consultations with these stakeholders, HEROWORKS plans to identify the specific needs of Singapore's tourism and hospitality industries and to localize the 'DatAmenity' technology by partnering with companies that can create synergistic effects.DatAmenity is the first service in Korea to develop and implement a Revenue Management System (RMS) for hotels, and currently holds Korea's number one market share. The solution collects and analyzes room data registered with Online Travel Agencies (OTAs), including pricing information and sales status, for all types of accommodations, such as hotels, motels, resorts, and pensions, assisting in optimally setting room sale prices.Unlike traditional hotel solutions, the DatAmenity solution is offered as a cloud-based SaaS (Software as a Service) model, allowing users to easily access and utilize the system anytime, anywhere. It currently serves approximately 500 accommodation facilities and has received significant positive feedback.Notably, DatAmenity has been recognized for its differentiated technological prowess in 'Comparing Room Sales by Room Type.' HEROWORKS identified the challenge that, despite having identical room configurations, differing room nomenclatures across hotels make accurate price comparisons difficult. In response, HEROWORKS developed a system allowing users (client companies) to set competitive hotels' room classifications by their hotel's room standards. This system, a proprietary technology exclusive to DatAmenity, has been proven innovative by acquiring a technology patent.HEROWORKS CEO Lee Chang-ju stated, "The demand for data-driven revenue management is increasing in Singapore's hospitality industry." He added, "Through participating in the TTA and ITB-Asia expos, we expect to accelerate our penetration into the Asian market by establishing partnerships with Singapore's tourism and tech companies."Meanwhile, HEROWORKS is a hospitality technology company specializing in developing automated systems for hotel revenue management. To address the gaps that existing hotel operational systems, such as Property Management Systems (PMS) and Channel Management Systems (CMS), cannot resolve, HEROWORKS has developed and operates a distinctive 'Hotel Revenue Management Solution.' Notably, the solution provides features that establish 'optimal room sale prices' and enable comprehensive viewing and management of 'hotel customer reviews,' contributing to enhanced hotel revenues.Social LinksYouTube: https://youtu.be/e1kOthMDeUo?feature=sharedBlog: https://blog.naver.com/datamenityMedia ContactBrand: HEROWORKSContact: Planning & Marketing TeamWebsite: https://www.heroworks.co.kr Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

HONG KONG, Oct 21, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - With the increasing global emphasis on sustainability, the Hong Kong government has introduced the 'Hong Kong's Climate Action Plan 2050'. To enhance the transparency of environmental governance and climate-related disclosure for listed companies, HKEX has also revised the "ESG Code" to be effective from 1 January 2025. Within this evolving framework, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors have emerged as pivotal foundations for business development. This is particularly evident in Hong Kong's construction industry, where numerous companies proactively champion these initiatives to demonstrate a steadfast commitment to a sustainable future.As a good model among Hong Kong listed companies in construction industry, Ching Lee Holding Limited (3728. HK) is advancing its ESG agenda through a variety of initiatives. Notably, Ching Lee participated in the "ESG Pledge Scheme" this year organised and recognised by The Chinese Manufacturers' Association of Hong Kong. This initiative reinforces Ching Lee's leadership role in promoting ESG principles and highlights its proactive stance on sustainability.Employees' welfare and occupational health and safety are always the most important items on the ESG agenda. Ching Lee ensures preparedness on construction sites and conducts emergency drills regularly. This dedication reflects its responsible commitment and a profound respect for employee safety. Moreover, the company places a high value on enhancing employee skills. According to Ching Lee's annual report, the total training hours for employees reached an impressive 98.5 hours, with a training participation rate of approximately 60%. Employees are also integral participants in the ESG framework. Several companies have established training systems that align employee development closely with corporate sustainability objectives, thereby achieving a mutually beneficial outcome.In addition to prioritising occupational safety and skills training, Hong Kong companies support public welfare projects in education, healthcare, and culture, while encouraging employees to engage in community service. According to the annual report from Ching Lee Holdings, the company donated over HKD 1.5 million to various charitable organisations in the 2023-2024 financial year, with more than 60 employees actively participating in community service. Furthermore, Ching Lee commits to promoting green building technologies and mandates that all employees adhere rigorously to environmental standards throughout construction. For instance, the company advocates for using recyclable building materials and strives to minimise waste generation during construction activities in addition to energy-saving and emission-reduction measures.By implementing a comprehensive range of initiatives, Hong Kong companies enable their workforce to become active participants in ESG efforts. Ching Lee Holdings adeptly links corporate development with employee growth, illustrating that corporate social responsibility is not merely essential but constitutes a fundamental pillar of sustainable development.

Luxembourg, Oct 16, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Moolec Science SA (NASDAQ:MLEC) ("the Company"), a leader in Molecular Farming technology, announced today that the U.S. Department of Agriculture's ("USDA") Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service ("APHIS") has completed its Regulatory Status Review ("RSR") for the Company's genetically engineered ("GE") peas which produce iron through bovine meat proteins. This is the third regulatory clearance from USDA-APHIS achieved by Moolec in an 18-month window, alongside its genetically engineered safflower and soybean for GLASO™ and Piggy Sooy™ products, respectively. Access the official USDA-APHIS publication here."With USDA approval for our GE pea, Moolec has now secured regulatory clearance for all of our key crops in the US: safflower, soybean, and pea," said Gastón Paladini, CEO and Co-Founder of Moolec. "We are proud to be the only Molecular Farming company with three US regulatory approvals and a major commercial contract. This milestone underscores our leadership in the landscape with tangible, science-backed results."Moolec's genetically engineered peas produce high yields of bovine myoglobin, a protein that boosts iron content, making it an ideal alternative for consumers seeking plant-based sources of iron. This product has the potential to revolutionize both the food ingredient market and the $65 billion pea industry by offering a nutritious, iron-rich alternative to traditional meat products.Amit Dhingra, Chief Science Officer for the Company, stated, "The USDA-APHIS Regulatory Status Review for pea marks a significant milestone for Moolec. As the first review for GE pea, it represents a historic development. It validates Moolec's strategic approach and exemplifies our commitment advancing sustainable food production through science and innovation. This approval is a critical step toward enhancing global food supply and meeting the growing demand for innovative, nutritious food solutions for the world."This approval not only showcases Moolec's innovation in Molecular Farming but also highlights the company's commitment to meeting the highest regulatory and safety standards. Moolec has also developed an Identity Preservation Program to ensure sustainable farming practices, promote stewardship for its crops and product quality for partners, clients and consumers alike.According to USDA-APHIS regulation found at 7 CFR part 340, developers may submit a request for a RSR when they believe a GE plant is not subject to the regulation. APHIS reviews the GE plant and considers whether it might pose an increased plant pest risk compared to its non-GE comparator. If APHIS does not identify a greater pest risk relative to the comparator, the GE plant is not subject to this regulation. Regulation 7 CFR part 340 governs the importation, interstate movement, and the environmental release of certain organisms that have been modified or produced by genetic engineering.The USDA-APHIS review process is a critical component of ensuring that genetically engineered crops can be grown safely, and this approval opens the floor for expanded field trials, seed scaling, and eventual commercialization. With increasing interest in science-based ingredients, this approval positions the company to lead a new wave of innovation in the food and agriculture sectors.About Moolec Science SAMoolec is a science-based ingredient company leader in the use of Molecular Farming technology for food and dietary supplementation markets. The Company's mission is to create unique food ingredients by engineering plants with animal protein genes. Its purpose is to redefine the way the world produces animal proteins for the good of the planet.
