‫للمساهمة في إيجاد بيئة عمل مستدامة… هايسنس تشجّع النساء والفتيات على تطوير مهاراتهنّ العملية والقيادية

تشينغداو، الصين، 8 مارس 2022 /PRNewswire/ — كشف تقرير الفجوة العالمية بين الجنسين لعام 2021 الصادر عن المنتدى الاقتصادي العالمي أنّ تحقيق المساواة بين الجنسين على مستوى العالم قد يستغرق أكثر من 135,6 سنة؛ وهو ما يشير إلى مدى حاجة العالم إلى بذل المزيد من الجهود في هذا الصدد ليتمكّن من تحقيق تنمية مستدامة. ولمعالجة مشكلة عدم المساواة بين الجنسين والتخفيف من حدتها، تُعقد نسخة هذا العام من اليوم العالمي للمرأة تحت شعار “المساواة بين الجنسين اليوم من أجل غدٍ مُستدام”؛ وذلك بهدف تشجيع المجتمعات المحلية على التضامن وتوحيد الجهود والعمل على إيجاد عالم يتسع للجميع ويتسم بالتنوع والمساواة والشمول والتعدّدية.

وتهتم شركة هايسنس بأن تتسم بيئة العمل فيها باحترام المساواة بين الجنسين والتنوّع والشمول والتعدّدية لأنّها تؤمن بأنّ هذه القيم هي قيم أساسية لنجاح أعمالها، وتحرص الشركة أيضًا على أن يشعر جميع موظفيها بأنّهم جزء من فريق عمل يحتضن المواهب المتنوعة ويوفر فرصًا متكافئة للجميع ليتمكّن كل منهم من إبراز مواهبه، كما تهتم الشركة بدعم موظفيها وتنمية مهاراتهم ليتمكّنوا من تحقيق أهدافهم الشخصية والنجاح في أعمالهم.

هايسنس تشجّع النساء على التميّز في جميع مجالات العمل

انطلاقًا من فهمها للعراقيل والتحديات غير المتوقعة التي تواجهها النساء، خاصّة في أعمالهنّ الوظيفية؛ تدرك هايسنس إدراكًا تامًا مدى أهمية توفير بيئة عمل تتسم بالتوازن والتنوّع والمساواة. لذا؛ تمثل النساء في هايسنس حاليًا نسبة 41.6% من جميع العاملين في مجموعة شركات هايسنس على مستوى العالم؛ وتُعدّ هذه النسبة أعلى من نسبة النساء العاملات على الصعيد العالمي والتي قدّرها البنك الدولي في أحدث تقرير له بنحو 38.89%.

ومع سعي هايسنس الجاد لنشر ثقافة مؤسسية أكثر شمولًا وتنوعًا في جميع الشركات التابعة لها؛ يتزايد عدد الموظفات المتميّزات في قطاعات الأعمال المختلفة للشركة.

وتُعدّ لي وينلي، المديرة العامة لشركة هايسنس في اليابان، واحدة من النساء المتميّزات في أعمالهنّ في الشركة، وهي تمثل للكثير من زملائها الشباب نموذجًا للقائدة الناجحة التي تتفاني في عملها وتسعى سعيًا دؤوبًا لتطوير فريق عملها وتحسين أدائه وتحقيق أهداف الشركة بنجاح. ومنذ انضمامها إلى شركة هايسنس في اليابان، كان أداء “لي” متميّزًا وتمكّنت من قيادة فريقها لمضاعفة مبيعات الشركة 10 مرّات على مدار 10 سنوات. وتعمل “لي” باستمرار على تطوير قدراتها، وتحفيز المزيد من النساء على العمل بجد ومثابرة لتحقيق أحلامهنّ والتميّز في مجالات أعمالهنّ.

وفي هذا السياق، أشارت لونا نورتي، المديرة التنفيذية ورئيسة أقسام مبيعات الأجهزة الإلكترونية الاستهلاكية (CE) والأجهزة المنزلية (HA) والهواتف المحمولة في هايسنس بجنوب أفريقيا، إلى أنّ العمل في هايسنس يتسم بالاحترام والنزاهة، كما أنّ ثقافة العمل في الشركة مبنية على التنوّع وتوفير فرص متكافئة للجميع بصرف النظر عن جنسياتهم؛ وهو أبرز ما يميّز بيئة العمل في الشركة. كما ذكرت لونا أنّها تشجّع النساء العاملات باستمرار على التعبير عن آرائهنّ وتطوير مهاراتهنّ ليتمكّنّ من النجاح والتميّز.

دعم النساء في المجالات الرياضية وتمكينّهن من تطوير مهاراتهنّ في مختلف المجالات

تعتز هايسنس بأنّها شريك فخري لبطولة أمم أوروبا لكرة القدم للسيدات (UEFA Women’s EURO) لعام 2022، وذلك بعد مشاركتها الناجحة في رعاية البطولة نفسها في عام 2017. ولمواصلة دعمها للنساء في المجالات الرياضية، ستطلق هايسنس بالتعاون مع الاتحاد الأوروبي لكرة القدم (UEFA) حملة تحت شعار “تذكّروا أسماءهنّ – Remember the Name”، تهدف إلى جذب المزيد من الاهتمام بكرة القدم النسائية، وإظهار مزيد من التقدير المستحق للاعبات، وتمكينهنّ من التألق وتحقيق شهرة عالمية.

تُعدّ قيم بذل الجهد والعمل الجماعي والاحترام والصداقة الحميمة روابط مشتركة بين شركة هايسنس والرياضة بوجه عام. وستواصل هايسنس جهودها للمساهمة في إيجاد بيئة أكثر مساواة للنساء والفتيات، وتعزيز التنمية المستدامة من خلال استخدام أحدث التقنيات المتقدّمة، وترسيخ مكانة الشركة لتصبح علامة تجارية دولية موثوقة.

Sky Technologies Provides Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Year 2021 Corporate Update

Closes Successful $23.1 Million IPO and Commences Trading on the Nasdaq

MIAMI, FL / ACCESSWIRE / March 8, 2022 /SQL Technologies Corp. (NASDAQ:SKYX) (“Sky Technologies” or “the Company”), a Company significantly enhancing safety in homes and buildings as well as smart home lifestyle, with highly disruptive smart platform technologies and over 60 issued and pending patents globally, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021.

Fourth Quarter 2021 and Subsequent Operational Highlights:

	●	On February 10, 2022, successfully completed its upsized $23.1 million initial public offering (IPO) on the Nasdaq Capital Market, selling 1,650,000 shares of common stock to the public at $14 per share.
	●	Announced the upcoming launch of the new universal SkyPlug, the SkyHome App and the smart connected SkyPlug, as well as an accompanying line of GE-branded smart ceiling fans and lighting fixtures, in the first half of 2022.
	●	Positioning for the public launch of Sky Platform, the Company’s all-in-one smart home solution, in the second half of 2022.
	●	As of December 31, 2021, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were approximately $10.4 million, which excludes net proceeds from its February 2022 IPO.

The full text of the Company’s 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K was filed with the SEC on March 8, 2022 and can be found here.

Management Commentary

“The fourth quarter of 2021 represented a transformational period for Sky Technologies, building the foundation for our transition to a public company – further accelerated by the infusion of new capital from our IPO to expedite our commercialization pathway,” said Rani Kohen, Executive Chairman of Sky Technologies. “We believe our Nasdaq listing will help elevate the Company’s public profile, expand our shareholder base, improve liquidity and enhance shareholder value. The net proceeds to Sky Technologies from the offering amounted to $20 million.

“Launch of our next-generation SkyPlug and Sky Platform product lines are moving ahead, and we anticipate coming to market with both products this year. The SkyPlug enables consumers to install plug-and-play smart home fixtures into a receptacle quickly and safely without the need for a professional installer, and the Sky Platform is an all-in-one smart home solution, integrating several smart home & safety features such as a motion sensor, security camera and Wi-Fi extender. We believe our breakthrough platform technology has the ability to become the standard for smart home and office fixtures, with countless applications and potential addressable installations in the billions globally.

“Moving into 2022 we expect to launch our new universal SkyPlug, our SkyHome App, and our smart SkyPlug, as well as an accompanying line of smart ceiling fans and lighting fixtures leveraging GE-branding through our branding and licensing partnership with General Electric, in the first half of 2022. This will be followed by the launch of our widely anticipated, all-in-one Sky Platform in the second half of 2022. In anticipation, we are ramping our go-to-market strategy to include public relations and marketing campaigns that emphasize education of our products and how they can be used to create safer and smarter homes. We expect to provide additional announcements on our product launch timeline in the coming months – helping to create sustainable, long-term value for our shareholders.”

FY 2021 Financial Results

Selling, general and administrative expenses in 2021 were $5.1 million, as compared to $8.7 million for the prior year.

Net loss in 2021 decreased to $5.9 million, as compared to a net loss of $9.4 million for the prior year.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $10.4 million as of December 31, 2021, excluding net proceeds from its IPO completed in February 2022.

There will be no earnings call related to the Company’s 2021 annual report.

Globally, we saw our universities, colleges, and other institutions grappling with world concerns – many of which continue to evolve. The expansion of the INVNT Higher Ed division is a testament to the transformative power of storytelling and community building.

I look forward to working with Kris to continue to invest in one of our most valuable assets – our stellar talent.”

Carey has held several roles with increased levels of responsibility across Constellation since joining the company in 2013 as VP and Associate General Counsel for its Beer Division. Two years later, she was promoted to SVP and General Counsel for Constellation’s Beer Division, and she subsequently assumed responsibility as the company’s Chief Compliance Officer. Carey has also been a key leader in Constellation’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion programs, and served as the company’s first Chief Diversity Officer. She joined the company’s HR team in 2019 as SVP, Human Resources supporting its Beer Division.

‫شبكة تلفزيون الصين الدولية (CGTN): تسليط الضوء على ضمان الأمن الغذائي في جلستي الصين

BEIJING, 8 مارس / آذار 2022 /PRNewswire/ — تعهدت الصين بإيلاء أهمية أكبر لتحسين القدرة الإنتاجية الزراعية الشاملة عندما يجتمع المشرعون الوطنيون والمستشارون السياسيون في البلاد في Beijing لتخطيط أولويات التنمية لعام 2022.

وفي اليوم الثاني من الدورة الحالية لمجلس الشعب الصيني، زار الرئيس شي جين بينغ (Xi Jinping) يوم الأحد مستشارين سياسيين وطنيين من قطاعات الزراعة والرعاية الاجتماعية والضمان الاجتماعي وحث على عدم التراخي في قضية الأمن الغذائي.

وقال إن قضية الأمن الغذائي من بين الاهتمامات الأساسية للبلاد، متسائلًا: “من سيطعم الصين؟”

“من سيطعم الصين”

من بين جميع قضايا الدولة، يأتي الغذاء على رأس الأولويات، فالطعام هو الضرورة الأساسية للشعب. وقال الرئيس شي إنه قبل سبعة عقود، كان عدد سكان البلاد الذين يعانون من نقص التغذية يبلغ 400 مليون نسمة، ولكن اليوم يأكل سكانها البالغ عددهم 1.4 مليار نسمة بشكل جيد ولديهم مجموعة كبيرة من الخيارات.

وأضاف أن الصين قادرة على إطعام خمس سكان العالم من خلال ما تتمتع به من نسبة تسعة في المئة من الأراضي الصالحة للزراعة في العالم وستة في المئة من موارد المياه العذبة.

وحذر من أنه على الرغم من توجه الصين نحو مجال التصنيع، لا ينبغي أبدًا التقليل من أهمية قضية الإمدادات الغذائية، ولا يمكننا الاعتماد فقط على السوق الدولية لحلها.

وخلال مؤتمر العمل الريفي المركزي السنوي الذي اختُتم للتو، أكد القادة الصينيون مجددًا أنه يتعين على البلاد تأمين إمداداتها الغذائية الخاصة بها في جميع الأوقات، وحثوا جميع الأطراف المعنية على لعب دورها في حماية الأراضي الزراعية وتحقيق الاستقرار في إنتاج الحبوب.

وظل موقف الصين بشأن ضمان الأمن الغذائي كما هو دون تغيير على مر السنين. وفي مؤتمر العمل الاقتصادي المركزي السنوي الذي عُقد في عام 2013، قال الرئيس شي إن ضمان الأمن الغذائي سيظل مهمة طويلة الأجل. ولذلك، من الضروري أن يقدم البلد الدعم الكامل والطويل الأمد من أجل الزراعة، ولا سيما في إنتاج الحبوب.

“العلم والتكنولوجيا هما أساس الأمن الغذائي”

وشدد الرئيس شي على أن أمن موارد البلازما الوراثية يرتبط بالأمن القومي.

وقال إنه في ظل تطوير صناعة البذور في البلاد، هناك حاجة إلى بذل جهود لزيادة الاعتماد على الذات في تكنولوجيا البذور وضمان الدعم الذاتي لموارد البذور في البلاد والتحكم بها بشكل أفضل، مسلطًا الضوء على أهمية إصلاح الآلية العلمية الزراعية والدور الرئيسي للمؤسسات في الابتكار.

وأضاف أن وقف هدر الطعام في صناعة المواد الغذائية مهمة طويلة الأمد، ويجب علينا أن نبذل جهود مستمرة ونعمل على خلق مجتمع يحافظ على الموارد.

تهدف الصين إلى إنشاء نظام حديث للابتكار في العلوم والتكنولوجيا الزراعية بحلول عام 2025، وفق مبدأ توجيهي للتنمية صادر عن الأكاديمية الصينية للعلوم الزراعية (CAAS) للخطة الخمسية الرابعة عشرة.

وخلال المناقشات، أشار الرئيس شي كذلك إلى أنه يجب بذل جهود مستمرة لتعزيز التنمية عالية الجودة للضمان الاجتماعي، ويجب مواصلة تطوير شبكة أمان اجتماعي أفضل لضمان رفاهية الشعب.
