Fueled by growth and expansion, SM supports MSME communities


PASAY CITY, Philippines, Dec. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — SM is looking forward to working with communities especially during tough times to sustain and support growth and recovery.

As SM pursues expansion and growth, it contributes to increasing economic activity and growing business resilience that support hundreds of thousands of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). These MSMEs make up 99.5% total business enterprises in the Philippines and generate over 5.3 million jobs or 62.7% of the country’s total employment.

“As we expand, we are mindful about how this brings meaningful support to communities,” SM Investments Corporation President and Chief Executive Officer Frederic C. DyBuncio said.

SM acts as a marketplace to over 90,000 MSMEs partners, playing the big brother role and helping them navigate mainstream retailing. SM’s retail stores serve as platforms to offer their products, master their entrepreneurial skills and grow their businesses. SM also provides holistic support through marketing advice, financial access as well as promotion and advertising.

During the pandemic, SM waived rental fees to support the business continuity of MSME partners. SM Supermalls’ Start-Up Market program in high-traffic malls also helps budding online entrepreneurs to put up kiosks in SM malls without the burden of costly rental fees and construction costs.

Through the Farmers’ Produce Markets, a joint project of SM Supermalls, the Department of Agriculture and Resto PH, an association of restaurants in the Philippines, SM helped bring local farmers closer to SM customers and allowed restaurateurs to access fresh vegetables especially during the pandemic disruptions to the supply chain that left farmers and local food establishments with very limited options where to sell their products.

Through BDO Network Bank, SM provided MSMEs and the beneficiaries of Overseas Filipinos with businesses key access to funds. The MSME Kabuhayan Loan is designed to assist small business owners in need of extra funding to increase their inventory of stocks, purchase business equipment and assets, or pursue expansion plans.

With the pandemic displacing the livelihood of many Filipinos, a number of them have become social entrepreneurs selling products online. 2GO Express, which is part of SM’s logistics business, provided them crucial support through solutions that connected sellers and buyers through pickup and delivery services across the Philippines. The company also partnered with FedEx Express, allowing Filipinos to ship their products to various international locations.

Through Airspeed, its other logistics company, SM provided affordable and dependable pick-up and delivery service—a vital support component for the MSME sector. PinaSpeed offered online pick-up and delivery service to micro-businesses in NCR, Rizal, and Cavite and soon in other areas at very reasonable rates.  

Despite economic and geopolitical headwinds, SM is keen on pursuing growth and expansion in 2023 to provide vital support to the economy that will reach more communities.

SM has been increasing its focus on provincial areas where local economies are growing faster Over 80 percent of SM’s new retail stores are in provincial areas where a good chunk of growing overseas remittances flow into. 

“We will continue to invest in growth as we are still seeing more communities that need access to various goods and services,” Mr. DyBuncio said.

Media, think tanks urged to contribute to China-Arab community with shared future

BEIJING, Dec. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from China.org.cn on the building of a China-Arab community with a shared future and the responsibilities of media and think tanks:

More than 50 experts and scholars called for media and think tanks to contribute to the building of a China-Arab community with a shared future at an online seminar on Dec. 15.

The seminar was hosted by China International Communications Group (CICG) and jointly organized by its Center for Europe and Africa, China.org.cn, and Egypt’s Bayt Al-Hekma Cultural Group. 

An online seminar on the building of a China-Arab community with a shared future and the responsibilities of media and think tanks is held on Dec. 15.
An online seminar on the building of a China-Arab community with a shared future and the responsibilities of media and think tanks is held on Dec. 15.

Gao Anming, vice president of CICG, said via video link that the first China-Arab States Summit and the first China-Gulf Cooperation Council Summit recently held in Riyadh represent an epoch-making milestone in the history of China-Arab relations.

Gao said that the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) aligns with the development vision and future plans of many Arab countries. The all-round, multi-tiered and wide-ranging practical cooperation between China and Arab countries has been accelerated and upgraded under the framework of the BRI. 

Gao noted that as China-Arab relations enter a new historical stage, the two sides should adopt a higher historical perspective and a broader global vision, further leverage their advantages, map out more precise, efficient and practical paths for media and think tank exchanges and cooperation, build more platforms for cooperation and exchange, and promote mutual visits and dialogue.

Gao urged the two sides to continue to increase the frequency, scale and level of exchanges, strengthen discussions and exchanges on common topics, and make joint contributions to the building of a China-Arab community with a shared future oriented to the new era through close cooperation between media and think tanks.

Ahmed Al-Saeed, CEO of Bayt Al-Hekma Cultural Group, pointed out that China-Arab friendship and cultural exchanges date back to ancient times, with historical relations always being based on mutual respect. As the world is undergoing profound changes unseen in a century, it is necessary for China and Arab countries to continue friendship and enhance cooperation. China has set an example for Arab countries to explore their own development path, and China also needs the support of Arab countries, he said. 

He added that think tanks and media will play a positive role in the development of China-Arab relations, consolidate mutual trust, and promote the transition from a unipolar stage to a multipolar one in a turbulent world, so as to create a future of unity rather than division.

Wu Sike, former Chinese representative to the League of Arab States and former Chinese special envoy to the Middle East, pointed out that media exchanges are an important way to promote mutual understanding between the peoples of China and Arab countries and an important bond for boosting people-to-people ties. 

In the face of profound and complex changes in the international and regional situation, Chinese and Arab media should adhere to the concepts of mutual respect, exchanges and mutual learning, solidarity and mutual assistance, understand and support each other on issues concerning each other’s core interests, strengthen solidarity and cooperation on international and regional issues, practice multilateralism in the true sense, and uphold international fairness and justice and the common interests of developing countries, he said.

Experts at the meeting agreed that over the past years, China-Arab relations have made great progress in various fields, but there remains a certain information deficit. In the process of building a China-Arab community with a shared future oriented to the new era, media and think tanks of the two sides should consciously undertake the mission and responsibility of promoting China-Arab communication and exchanges, and use their respective strengths to advance people-to-people exchanges between China and Arab countries. 

They added that media and think tanks should jointly amplify their voices to the outside world, break the distortion and smearing of China-Arab cooperation by the United States and other Western powers, remove the path of dependence on Western studies and the dualistic narrative mode, introduce the real situation of China-Arab cooperation to the world, and give a strong voice for China and the Middle East to the international public, and jointly safeguard the image and interests of developing countries to create a favorable international public opinion environment for China-Arab friendly exchanges and common development. 

They concurred that media and think tanks should strengthen exchanges and cooperation, increase mutual visits and dialogue, build more platforms for cooperation and exchanges, and pool and leverage their strength.

Based on the consensus reached among the event’s attendees, Hu Baomin, director of the Center for Europe and Africa, delivered a closing speech for the seminar. He said he hoped that both sides can take the seminar as a new starting point to advance people-to-people exchanges between China and Arab states, and make their due contributions to the building of a China-Arab community with a shared future, the common good of the two peoples, and the future development of China-Arab relations.

Superior Plus Propane Continues to Lead in Innovation by Choosing Acterys as their Preferred xP&A Platform


Superior Plus Propane adds Acterys to its fintech stack to streamline xP&A processes and optimize daily reporting of their distribution channels.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Superior Plus Propane, a leading distributor of propane and related products in the U.S., has selected Acterys as their partner to transform extended Planning & Analysis (xP&A) processes.

The team was looking for a solution that can provide instantaneous data refresh capabilities and integrate directly into Power BI, allowing them to see updates in real-time on their dashboards. After trying to achieve the same with PowerApps, they realized how complicated the entire process was due to its lack of flexibility.

Superior Plus Propane found Acterys to be the most suitable solution to help simplify and automate propane distribution reporting, planning, and forecasting with its Power BI writeback capabilities. The performance management platform offered superior functionality and ease of use, allowing the propane distribution giant to leverage their existing Microsoft tech stack and expertise.

“Acterys has been a great partner for us and gets us one step closer to reaching our analytics goal as a company. The implementation was really streamlined, thanks to the support from the Acterys team. We are just at the tip of the iceberg of what this great tool is capable of, and so far, the feedback from our end users has been great. Acterys has been a key part of our team’s shift towards a more data-driven organization.

Chad Lovelady, Manager of Data Analytics 

Acterys delivers unparalleled reporting, planning, and analytics in popular front-end interfaces, like Tableau, Power BI, and Excel, and complements the functionality with a robust backend data infrastructure in Azure/SQL. It offers connectivity to any data source, automated data integration, and modeling. Workflows can be set up to automatically refresh data – something that is very complicated to do with solutions like PowerApps.

“Our enthusiasm for the journey ahead with Superior Plus Propane only grows as we look at how they are using Acterys today. Leveraging real-time data, SPP will be empowered to make informed decisions companywide – a whole new level of progress! Can’t wait to see what comes next!”

Mike Zack, COO of Acterys

About Superior Plus Propane

On top of the single version of the truth data model, the solution offers out of the box templates for all performance management aspects that can be easily customized by business users in their familiar environments like Power BI & Excel.

Rebound Plastic Exchange ready to unlock new opportunities for recycled plastics in Hong Kong

Rebound Plastic Exchange, a quality assured global trading platform for recycled plastics, will ensure transparency whilst facilitating cross border trade to unlock circularity worldwide.

ABU DHABI, UAE, Dec. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Rebound Plastic Exchange, a global B2B digital trading platform for recycled plastics, is ready to enter the Hong Kong market in full swing following its increased activity across the Middle East, North America, Latin America, India, Southeast Asia and Europe. The global marketplace promises quality assurance and trust by vetting the members and listings posted onto the marketplace, thus helping Hong Kong and the industry achieve its targets and keep plastic out of the environment.

In 2016, Hong Kong exported nearly 1.78 million tonnes[1] of recycled plastic waste to China, most than any other country in the world. In 2020, plastics still made up 21% of the city’s total municipal solid waste (MSW), though with a 27% increase in locally recycled plastics[2] . The Hong Kong Legislative Council then passed the Waste Charging Scheme in 2021 with hopes to reduce per capita waste disposal by 45% and increase recycling rates by 55%[3]. As the highly anticipated scheme is about to begin in 2023, and with the new Waste Blueprint for Hong Kong 2035 entering into force, Rebound Plastic Exchange is ready to enable the city to unlock more investment opportunities to support its growing recycling targets and initiatives.

Maryam Al Mansoori, General Manager, Rebound Plastic Exchange, said, “Recent data shows plastic waste represents approximately 20% of municipal solid waste disposal in Hong Kong. [4] This statistic could very well be leveraged as the world’s plastics market is forecasted to reach $46.6 bn by 2025.”

Rebound Plastic Exchange’s increased activity in Hong Kong will only complement the regional government’s commitments towards the Basel Convention’s Amendments on the trade of plastic and thus unlocking the world’s plastics, one country at a time. Active buyers and sellers on Rebound Plastic Exchange come from over 21 countries, helping source plastic feedstock at the preferred price ranges.

Industry members, whether buyers or sellers of recycled plastics, can register on Rebound Plastic Exchange free of charge and access a global marketplace for quality assured feedstock.
