Going global: EyeSee ventures into APAC, reinforces operations in North America

GHENT, Belgium, Feb. 22, 2021EyeSee kicks off 2021 by broadening its global reach and capabilities with a new sales office in Singapore and an operations office in Mexico City. The award-winning company has been steadily doubling in size every year to meet the growing demand for agile & scalable behavioral research from clients such as Twitter, Microsoft, Colgate-Palmolive, J&J, Bayer, Disney, and many more.

Relying exclusively on online research technology (remote eye tracking and emotion tracking through facial expression) EyeSee was able to serve clients in all geographies from its beginnings, conducting research in 40+ countries. However, the fruitful relationships EyeSee forged with its clients drive demand for further global growth in exciting markets such as the APAC region and real-time support in North America.

Joris De Bruyne, EyeSee’s partner explains this step: "We are moving into Singapore to follow our clients, and we have already done projects with our blue-chip clients in Asia."

It is not just about scaling the operations – for Olivier Tilleuil, EyeSee’s founder and partner: "The ability to attract and help develop top-notch behavioral research experts in any market we do business in, is one of the most exciting and fulfilling aspects of this." He continues: "As our organization grows into a true global leader we have a chance to create true experts in our teams and a recognizable brand that stands for cutting-edge behavioral research."

The Singapore office will continue to develop EyeSee’s key accounts in the APAC region. It will be lead by Tom Vande Moortel, and the Mexican office setup is underway with Diego Adolfo Chávez Terrazas, an experienced researcher, who previously worked for Walmart, Colgate-Palmolive, Turner Media and Kantar – as the Country lead and Insights Director.

Tom Vande Moortel explained what sets EyeSee apart in a market brimming in innovation in a hub such as Singapore: "We are very excited to enter into a market with highly developed digital commerce, and our product portfolio is perfectly matched for clients in such an environment."

Diego Adolfo Chávez Terrazas sees the biggest opportunity in a new generation of researchers in Mexico: "We seek smart and talented people who will add value to our clients. For those talents who want to settle the new way of doing Marketing Research in a cooperative and innovative environment – EyeSee Mexico is the place to be."

Samsung Display Kick-starts ESG* Management with joining RBA Membership

– Actively engages in corporate social responsibilities, befitting global companies

– Newly establishes the Sustainable Management Secretariat and the company-wide consultative body to carry out ESG strategy in earnest

SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 21, 2021 — Samsung Display Chief Executive Officer Joo Sun Choi announced that the company will further boost its environmental, social and governance (ESG) involvement from 2021.

Samsung Display joined RBA membership to take the initiative among local display producers in driving ESG-centered management strategy in accordance with global trends.

"As a global leader in display industry, Samsung Display has been prioritizing environmental and social values in the entire process of product manufacturing" said Jaeho Shin, Executive Vice President and Head of the Display Management Office at Samsung Display. "Moreover, we will further evolve into a global company that earns trust from our customers and members of society, and that dedicates to the development and happiness of humanity" he added.

The Responsible Business Alliance (RBA), the world’s largest industry coalition dedicated to corporate social responsibility in global supply chains, sets out and holds members accountable to RBA Code of Conduct based on a number of global standards to achieve a higher level of corporate ethics. Currently, RBA comprises more than 160 global companies including Samsung Electronics, Apple, and Intel.

With RBA membership, Samsung Display will gain the momentum to go beyond just conforming to the relevant domestic laws, and thoroughly incorporate global codes of conduct into its management strategy with regard to five critical sections of the RBA Code – Labor, Health and Safety, Environment, Business Ethics, and Management Systems. 

In particular, Samsung Display will continue substantial endeavors not only to domestic offices but also to global offices and its partners to fully embrace ESG-valued management based on RBA standards. For instance, the company plans to reinforce onsite audit and objective due diligence on management systems and working environment. More concretely, Samsung Display will undertake the Validated Assessment Program (VAP), an onsite compliance verification audit as well as get onsite assessment on its compliance to RBA Code of Conduct from reputable organizations.

In addition to joining RBA membership, Samsung Display is committing company-wide effort to bolster its ESG performance. For instance, the company newly organized the ‘Sustainable Management Secretariat’ and formed a consultative body on ESG strategy involving entire business departments. Moreover, earlier this year, in order to lay the groundwork for systemic implementation of ESG management plan, Samsung Display established mid- and long-term strategies in five focus areas: Climate change, Resource circulation, Sustainable products, Win-win collaboration with partners, and Local community.

* ESG: ESG refers to Environmental, Social, Governance characteristics of a company. It is used as a non-financial indicator that evaluates the company’s environmental and social commitment for sustainable development and the soundness of corporate governance.

CBAK Energy Develops Special 26650 Battery for Ultra-low Temperature Application

DALIAN, China, Feb. 19, 2021 — CBAK Energy Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: CBAT) ("CBAK Energy," or the "Company"), a leading lithium-ion battery manufacturer and electric energy solution provider, today announced that it has started the trial production of its special 26650 lithium battery (the "Special 26650 Battery"). Different from our regular 26650 batteries that the company is currently manufacturing and selling, the Special 26650 Battery is a self-developed battery model specifically designed for application in ultra-low temperature environments. The Special 26650 Battery has delivered satisfactory test performance results to date, while the trial’s production yield rate has also been very close to our required level for mass production. The Company believes that it will be capable of achieving mass delivery of its Special 26650 Battery by the second half of 2021.

The Company utilizes self-developed and customized materials that can be used in extreme environments as the core materials for its Special 26650 Battery. As a result, the Special 26650 Battery features a new ultra-low temperature system and can operate normally in ultra-low temperature environments. The Special 26650 Battery can function properly in temperatures as low as minus 40 to minus 50 degrees Celsius and can discharge at a maximum C-rate of 60C at room temperature. Capable of operating with high efficiency in low-temperature environments, the Special 26650 Battery has several use cases in high-latitude and high-altitude low temperature environments, such as energy storage in ultra-low-temperature environment, base stations, transportation, unmanned drones, aviation and aerospace areas, as well as other specific circumstances that require ultra-low-temperature cells. We believe our self-developed technology of the Special 26650 Battery is currently at the forefront of the industry.  

Mr. Yunfei Li, Chief Executive Officer of CBAK Energy, commented, "We are pleased to announce the success of our initial trial productions for the Special 26650 Battery and look forward to accelerating its production going forward. In addition to demonstrating our industry-leading research and development capabilities, the Special 26650 Battery is highly attractive to participants in the aviation and aerospace industries due to its effective ultra-low temperature application. As a result, we believe that the production of the Special 26650 Battery will help to fuel our expansion into these markets. Going forward, we plan to continue leveraging our strong technical strengths to develop more competitive battery products, thereby expanding our current portfolio of business layout offerings and generating additional shareholder value over the long term."
