    Sino Land has been recognised as a ‘Top 1% S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment Score (China)’ company in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2026 (China Edition), and is the only company in the Real Estate Management & Development industry to receive this distinction.

    The S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2026 (China Edition) acknowledges Chinese companies that demonstrate sustainability excellence in their respective industries. This year’s assessment covers nearly 1,800 companies, of which around 190 were selected for inclusion in the Yearbook. Sino Land is the only company in the Real Estate Management & Development industry to be rated among the top 1%, building on its earlier recognition in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2026 as a ‘Top 5% S&P Global CSA Score’ company. The Dow Jones Best-in-Class World Index is also one of the market’s leading sustainability indices. Based on long‑term economic, environmental and social criteria, the index comprises the top 10% of sustainability performers among the largest 2,500 companies in the S&P Global Broad Market Index (BMI). These recognitions reflect the Group’s ongoing efforts to integrate sustainability principles into its business strategy and daily operations, as well as its continued and measurable progress across key sustainability areas.

    Mr Daryl Ng, Chairman of Sino Group and Chairman of the Group’s ESG Steering Committee, said, ‘We are grateful for this recognition under S&P Global’s rigorous assessment framework, particularly as one of the top 1% companies in the Chinese mainland’s Real Estate Management & Development industry. It encourages us to continue strengthening our sustainability efforts in line with international standards. We recognise that our progress has been made possible by the dedication of our colleagues and the support of our business partners and communities, enabling us to implement the Group’s sustainability strategy. In response to the country’s emphasis on accelerating the comprehensive green transformation of the economy and society, as highlighted in the 15th Five-Year Plan, we also hope to learn from it and explore how we can better align our business accordingly, promoting the integration of international experience with local practices and working together to build communities that are lower in carbon and more liveable. Looking ahead, we will continue to learn with humility and work collaboratively with our stakeholders to uphold our corporate culture and core values as we make steady progress on our sustainability journey.’

    Beyond advancing a more sustainable environment through climate action, building planning and design, and innovative solutions, the Group also remains committed to a people‑centric approach by promoting sustainability through employee engagement. For the second consecutive year, Sino Group organised ‘Sino Sustainability Month’ in collaboration with close to 15 partners, including environmental social enterprises, green-technology start-ups, academic institutions and professional bodies, to organise visits, workshops and hands-on experiential activities for our employees. Such initiatives encourage colleagues and their families to embrace sustainable practices in the context of work and home life, while gradually extending awareness of sustainable living practices to families and business partners. This year, the programme extended from Hong Kong to Singapore and Sydney, attracting nearly 300 employees and delivering over 650 training hours through the ‘Sino Sustainability Academy’, bringing teams from the three locations together to support sustainability initiatives.

  • Moody’s ปรับแนวโน้มอันดับเครดิตของ HDBank เป็น “Positive” ปูทางสู่การยกระดับเรตติ้งในอนาคต

    Moody’s ปรับแนวโน้มอันดับเครดิตของ HDBank เป็น “Positive” ปูทางสู่การยกระดับเรตติ้งในอนาคต

    นครโฮจิมินห์, เวียดนาม – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 พฤษภาคม 2569 – Moody’s Ratings สถาบันจัดอันดับความน่าเชื่อถือระดับโลก ประกาศผลการพิจารณาอันดับเครดิตตามรอบระยะเวลาของธนาคาร Ho Chi Minh City Development Joint Stock Commercial Bank (HDBank; HOSE: HDB) โดยคงอันดับเครดิตเงินฝากและผู้ออกตราสารระยะยาว ทั้งสกุลเงินท้องถิ่นและสกุลเงินต่างประเทศไว้ที่ระดับ B1 พร้อมปรับแนวโน้มอันดับความน่าเชื่อถือของธนาคารจาก “Stable” เป็น “Positive” อีกด้วย

    สำนักงานธุรกรรมของ HDBank ในนครโฮจิมินห์
    สำนักงานธุรกรรมของ HDBank ในนครโฮจิมินห์

    การปรับแนวโน้มอันดับเครดิตครั้งนี้สะท้อนถึงพื้นฐานทางการเงินที่แข็งแกร่งและศักยภาพในการดำเนินงานที่มีความยืดหยุ่นของ HDBank

    Moody’s ระบุว่า การปรับแนวโน้มอันดับเครดิตของ HDBank มีปัจจัยสนับสนุนจากการคาดการณ์ว่า แผนการเพิ่มทุนของธนาคารและความสามารถในการทำกำไรที่แข็งแกร่ง จะช่วยเสริมสร้างเกราะรองรับความเสี่ยงจากการขาดทุนโดยรวมได้แข็งแกร่งยิ่งขึ้น เพื่อรับมือกับความเสี่ยงที่เกี่ยวข้องกับการขยายตัวของสินเชื่อที่รวดเร็ว

    ในการประชุมสามัญผู้ถือหุ้นประจำปี 2569 ซึ่งจัดขึ้นเมื่อเดือนที่ผ่านมา HDBank ได้อนุมัติแผนเพิ่มทุนของธนาคาร จากระดับ 78.3 ล้านล้านดองเวียดนาม (ประมาณ 3 พันล้านดอลลาร์สหรัฐ) ณ สิ้นปี 2568 เป็น 110.1 ล้านล้านดองเวียดนาม (ประมาณ 4.2 พันล้านดอลลาร์สหรัฐ) หรือเพิ่มขึ้นราว 41%

    Moody’s ระบุเพิ่มเติมว่า อันดับเครดิตของธนาคารและการประเมินความแข็งแกร่งทางเครดิตพื้นฐานมีโอกาสได้รับการปรับเพิ่ม หาก HDBank สามารถดำเนินแผนการเพิ่มทุนได้สำเร็จ ซึ่งจะถือเป็นสัญญาณเชิงบวกที่สะท้อนถึงการยอมรับในระดับสากลต่อกลยุทธ์การเติบโตอย่างยั่งยืน และความสามารถในการบริหารความเสี่ยงที่แข็งแกร่งของธนาคาร

    แนวโน้มอันดับเครดิตที่ดีขึ้นนี้ คาดว่าจะช่วยยกระดับสถานะของ HDBank ในตลาดการเงินระหว่างประเทศ สนับสนุนการขยายความร่วมมือกับพันธมิตรทางธุรกิจ เพิ่มโอกาสในการเข้าถึงแหล่งเงินทุน และเสริมความสามารถในการแข่งขันของธนาคารให้แข็งแกร่งยิ่งขึ้น

    ก่อนหน้านี้ ในเดือนพฤษภาคม 2568 Moody’s Ratings ได้ปรับเพิ่มอันดับความเสี่ยงที่เกิดจากคู่สัญญาในการทำธุรกรรม และการประเมินความเสี่ยงคู่สัญญาของ HDBank ขึ้นสู่ระดับสูงสุดในกลุ่มธนาคารพาณิชย์ของเวียดนาม

    ในไตรมาส 1 ปี 2569 HDBank ได้รายงานผลกำไรก่อนหักภาษีอยู่ที่ 6.1 ล้านล้านดองเวียดนาม (ประมาณ 231.6 ล้านดอลลาร์สหรัฐ) เพิ่มขึ้น 14% เมื่อเทียบกับช่วงเดียวกันของปีก่อน ขณะที่อัตราผลตอบแทนต่อส่วนของผู้ถือหุ้น (ROE) ยังคงอยู่ในระดับสูงที่ 24.29% ซึ่งอยู่ในกลุ่มสูงสุดของอุตสาหกรรมธนาคาร นอกจากนี้ อัตราส่วนเงินกองทุนทั้งหมดต่อสินทรัพย์เสี่ยงตามมาตรฐาน Basel II ยังเพิ่มขึ้นเป็น 16.16% จาก 14.32% ในปีก่อนหน้า ซึ่งถือเป็นหนึ่งในระดับที่สูงที่สุดในตลาด

    ณ วันที่ 31 มีนาคม 2026 HDBank มีสินทรัพย์รวมอยู่ที่ 984.2 ล้านล้านดองเวียดนาม (ประมาณ 37.4 พันล้านดอลลาร์สหรัฐ) เพิ่มขึ้น 5.7% จากสิ้นปีก่อนหน้า โดยมียอดสินเชื่อค้างชำระรวมเพิ่มขึ้น 8% สู่ระดับ 635.1 ล้านล้านดองเวียดนาม (ประมาณ 24.1 พันล้านดอลลาร์สหรัฐ) ขณะที่ยอดเงินระดมทุนทั้งหมดมีมูลค่ามากกว่า 880 ล้านล้านดองเวียดนาม (ประมาณ 33.4 พันล้านดอลลาร์สหรัฐ) เพิ่มขึ้น 5.9% ในส่วนของเงินฝากจากลูกค้า มีมูลค่าเกิน 725 ล้านล้านดองเวียดนาม (ประมาณ 27.5 พันล้านดอลลาร์สหรัฐ) เพิ่มขึ้น 11.9% จากช่วงก่อนหน้า

    อัตราส่วนเงินให้สินเชื่อต่อเงินรับฝากของธนาคารยังคงอยู่ต่ำกว่า 70% ขณะที่ตัวชี้วัดด้านสภาพคล่องสำคัญ เช่น Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) และ Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) ยังคงอยู่ในระดับสูงกว่า 100% ซึ่งสูงกว่าข้อกำหนดตามมาตรฐาน Basel III

  • Asendia and Singapore Post Form Strategic Partnership to Strengthen APAC Cross-Border E-commerce Gateway

    Asendia and Singapore Post Form Strategic Partnership to Strengthen APAC Cross-Border E-commerce Gateway

    PARIS, FRANCE – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 May 2026 – Asendia, the international e-commerce and mail specialist, today announced a strategic partnership with Singapore Post (SingPost), a leading postal and e-commerce logistics provider. The partnership will strengthen cross-border e-commerce logistics capabilities, enhancing delivery performance, scalability and market access for businesses shipping into and out of Singapore and the wider Asia-Pacific region.

    A Strategic Partnership Between Asendia and SingPost (Left to right): Lionel Berthe, Head of Asia Pacific, Asendia; Mark Chong, CEO, SingPost; Simon Batt, CEO, Asendia, and Gavin Pathross, Chief Information Technology Officer, SingPost.
    A Strategic Partnership Between Asendia and SingPost (Left to right): Lionel Berthe, Head of Asia Pacific, Asendia; Mark Chong, CEO, SingPost; Simon Batt, CEO, Asendia, and Gavin Pathross, Chief Information Technology Officer, SingPost.

    The partnership reinforces Singapore as a strategic gateway for cross-border e-commerce. With almost 75%[1] of online shoppers in Singapore having purchased from overseas sellers, the country is a key destination for international sellers. It also serves as an important logistics gateway to millions of online shoppers in the APAC region.

    Strategic Navigation of the 2026 EU Customs Reform

    The partnership is timely as global regulators move to close taxation gaps that previously defined the sector. From 1 July 2026, the European Union will officially abolish the €150 de minimis customs duty exemption[2], introducing a flat €3 customs duty on all low-value imports. These changes, aimed at leveling the playing field for traditional retail, have taken effect in a few countries since March, where authorities have imposed national handling fees. SingPost and Asendia are working to offer Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) solutions to the EU, providing a “frictionless corridor” to help merchants – navigate this transition.

    “This partnership comes at a critical juncture for global trade. Following the US suspension of de minimis exemptions in August 2025, the upcoming July 2026 EU reform introduces new regulations for exporting businesses to navigate.” said Mark Chong, CEO, SingPost. “By extending our cross-border partnerships, we are providing businesses with the support to manage these complexities, ensuring that our customers can maintain access to these markets, minimising the risk of delivery friction or doorstep rejection.”

    The collaboration builds on Asendia’s long-established presence in the region, including its recent establishment of the Singapore Hub operation. International brands and global marketplace sellers on platforms such as Amazon, eBay and Etsy will benefit from more streamlined parcel shipping into Singapore and the wider APAC region.

    Through Asendia’s international network, SingPost’s Singapore-based e-commerce customers gain access to a more diverse, reliable set of options to sell and scale across new markets with delivery capabilities into Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East and Oceania, supported by a broad ecosystem of last-mile partners. In turn, Asendia’s customers benefit from improved access into Singapore, Southeast Asia and the wider APAC corridor via SingPost’s infrastructure.

    Merchants working with both organisations will gain access to a comprehensive suite of delivery solutions. The core service offerings include Asendia’s e-PAQ Home Delivery, e-PAQ Out-of-Home Delivery and e-PAQ Returns.

    Lionel Berthe, Head of APAC, Asendia, said: “Asendia’s Beyond Borders survey shows that 32% of retailers in APAC cite border delays, customs clearance, and cross‑border returns as key friction points. This partnership directly addresses those challenges, with Singapore as a core focus market, while enabling scalable and cost‑effective cross‑border growth across the wider region.”

    Notes to Editors:
    Beyond Borders Study:
    Over 1,000 global e-commerce professionals were surveyed in early 2026. Respondents included senior decision-makers from retail businesses engaged in cross-border e-commerce across four regions: UK (259), USA (250), Europe (251) and APAC (253). The survey was conducted by Censuswide under MRS guidelines.

  • Mirah Investment & Development Announces Strategic Partnership with RV Capital Across Portfolio of Hospitality Brands

    Mirah Investment & Development Announces Strategic Partnership with RV Capital Across Portfolio of Hospitality Brands

    Investment spans equity positions in both SOMOSHOTELS and Cocana Resorts, with plans to bring the brands to five additional locations across Asia.

    BALI, INDONESIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 May 2026 – Mirah Investment & Development, a Bali-based hospitality development and management group with an active portfolio spanning branded residences, hotels and resorts, and lifestyle hospitality across Indonesia and over 1,000 units currently under construction, announced a strategic investment partnership with RV Capital, an investment manager with offices in Singapore and the UAE specialising in Asia-Pacific hospitality real estate.

    Cocana Resort - Gili Trawangan
    Cocana Resort – Gili Trawangan

    The partnership spans equity positions in two of Mirah’s signature hospitality brands, SOMOSHOTELS and Cocana Resorts, and includes access to a pipeline of at least five additional locations across Indonesia, Thailand, Japan, and beyond over the next 5 years.

    RV Capital’s investment includes a substantial capital deployment in 2026 and accelerates Mirah’s expansion across the region, with a development pipeline exceeding $300 million in hospitality assets planned across Asia.

    “Mirah has done what very few hospitality operators in Southeast Asia have managed. They have built a platform with real operational depth, not just a development pipeline. We are backing both the assets and the team behind them, and we see SOMOSHOTELS and Cocana as the beginning of something much larger,” said Vinesh Motwani, Managing Partner & CIO, RV Capital.

    The investment reflects RV Capital’s confidence not only in the individual assets, but in Mirah’s broader platform: its ability to identify emerging destinations, develop integrated hospitality product, and scale it across markets through Mirah’s partnership with The Guest Society, an experience-led hospitality management company redefining how brands are operated across Asia. Driven by this partnership, The Guest Society will open a Thailand office in 2026 to support the group’s regional growth.

    SOMOSHOTELS is Mirah’s lifestyle hotel brand, designed as an integrated hospitality destination rather than a conventional hotel. The flagship SOMOSHOTELS Uluwatu, a 250-room property situated on Uluwatu’s main commercial corridor, will be the first walk-in, walk-out lifestyle hotel on the strip, combining rooms, a pool day club, restaurant and retail venues, spa, fitness, and event spaces when it opens in 2027. Uluwatu is Bali’s fastest-growing hospitality micro-market, and SOMOSHOTELS is designed to serve as its first integrated hospitality anchor. The two firms are committed to exploring new SOMOSHOTELS locations together, with sites currently under consideration in Phuket’s Bangtao area and in Japan.

    Cocana Resorts is Mirah’s beach resort brand, currently operating its first location on Gili Trawangan with 45 private-pool villas, 66 deluxe lagoon suites, beach club, spa, and two restaurants, with a third restaurant, Sensei Ikan, and additional lagoon suites opening later in 2026. Development of the next Cocana commences in Bali in 2026, on Balangan, a front-line location regarded as one of the island’s finest stretches of coastline, with an anticipated opening in mid-2029. Two locations are currently under consideration for the next Cocana resort in Thailand: Koh Phangan and Phuket, with development set to commence in 2026, marking the brand’s entry into Southeast Asia.

    “Bali will always be our home, but this partnership gives us the platform to take what we have built here and bring it to the best destinations across the region,” said Scott Matson, COO, Mirah Investment & Development.

    Mirah has built a track record of entering highly localised markets before demand is widely recognised, identifying where hospitality appetite is heading before quality supply arrives to meet it. That same foresight underpins SOMOSHOTELS and Cocana Resorts, both conceived for locations Mirah identified as structurally underserved, with strong demand fundamentals and limited quality supply.

    RV Capital, founded by partners combining institutional investment backgrounds spanning KKR and Goldman Sachs, targets premium hospitality assets in high-demand, undersupplied markets where active ownership drives returns. This partnership marks the firm’s first commitment in the branded hotel segment and its most significant Bali deployment to date.

    With five additional locations currently being explored and a pipeline spanning Asia, the RV Capital partnership positions Mirah Investment & Development as one of the most active hospitality expansion stories in Asia.

  • DP World Secures Laem Chabang Concession Extension Amid Rising Intra-Asia Trade

    DP World Secures Laem Chabang Concession Extension Amid Rising Intra-Asia Trade

    The five-year extension ensures operational continuity at one of Thailand’s leading container terminals, supporting the country’s expanding role in intra-Asian trade

    BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 7 May 2026 – DP World, through its joint venture Laem Chabang International Terminal Co., Ltd. (LCIT), has secured a five-year concession extension to continue operating the B5 container berth at Laem Chabang Port. The extension comes at a time of increasing intra-Asian trade and evolving supply chain dynamics, reinforcing the port’s role as a critical gateway for Thailand’s economy.

    Terminal and yard at Laem Chabang Port

    The contract, granted by the Port Authority of Thailand (PAT), will run from May 2026 to April 2031, reinforcing DP World’s central role in bolstering regional trade flows.

    LCIT operates both B5 and C3 berths at Laem Chabang, Thailand’s principal deep-sea gateway and the country’s largest container hub supporting international trade. The terminals can accommodate up to four vessels simultaneously along 900 meters of berth length and are supported by 4,420 sqm of on-dock container freight station (CFS) facilities. In 2025, LCIT handled a record 1.936 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), its highest annual throughput to date, reflecting sustained growth in container volumes.

    Glen Hilton, CEO & Managing Director, Asia Pacific, DP World, said: “This concession extension at Laem Chabang Port ensures continuity and service stability for our customers at a time when supply chains face increasing pressure and complexity. As Thailand strengthen its position as a regional trade hub, this extension allows us to continue investing in capacity, efficiency and sustainable operations. Together with our partners at LCIT, we are well positioned to support growing intra-Asia trade and deliver long-term value for customers across the Asia Pacific region.”

    This concession will enable continued investment by DP World in operational efficiency and sustainability at Laem Chabang. In 2025, five electric internal transfer vehicles (eITVs) were deployed at LCIT, reducing emissions by approximately 60% compared to diesel alternatives while supporting faster vessel handling. Further upgrades are planned in 2026, including the installation of additional eITVs, electric reach stackers, and an electric empty container handler.

    Complementing its operations at Laem Chabang Port, DP World has an integrated logistics network throughout Thailand, including cross-border trucking, landside logistics and freight forwarding. The company also recently launched a rail-connected inland container yard in Khon Kaen with a dedicated thrice-weekly rail shuttle to Laem Chabang, enhancing connectivity for exporters in Thailand’s Northeastern region.

    ​ These services and solutions aim to strengthen Thailand’s domestic and export trade by enabling the seamless movement of goods and materials from port to domestic hinterlands, and to markets across the wider Asia Pacific region.
