KRAKÓW, Poland, Dec. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — A global provider of technologically advanced IT systems and services, has received a “Partnership Award” from Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC), a leading energy group that operates in the oil & gas industry. To commemorate 7+ years of highly successful business collaboration, the award was presented to the Founder, President and CEO of Comarch SA, Professor Janusz Filipiak, by three ENOC representatives – Zaid Alqufaidi, Managing Director at  ENOC, Taleb Al Saleh, Director of Retail Marketing at ENOC, and Suryaveer Singh, Head of Loyalty at ENOC – during their visit to Comarch’s Headquarters in Krakow, Poland on May 23^rd, 2022.

The “Partnership Award” is presented by ENOC to businesses whose actions had a significant impact on the company’s growthand strategic development. The support that Comarch has provided ENOC with over the last 7+ years covers many different business areas, including customer loyalty & marketing, and has thus played an important role in helping ENOC achieve many of its business goals.

“The collaboration with ENOC highlights Comarch’s strategy focused on building long-term business partnerships and creating innovative and highly practical IT products and services. Both the recent visit of the UAE Ambassador, Dr. Eman Al Salami, and the award we received from ENOC show that Comarch is one of the leading IT players in the Middle East today.”  – said Janusz Filipiak, President and CEO of Comarch SA.

“It was my first visit to the Comarch HQ and I must say that seeing the amount of work that the company puts in innovation and R&D, I am convinced that the partnership with Comarch will bring us many more benefits.” – said Zaid Alqufaidi, Managing Director at  ENOC.

ENOC’s “Yes Rewards” loyalty program, nominated at this year’s International Loyalty Awards in the “Best Use of Mobile & Social” category, is powered by Comarch’s loyalty management platform for building immersive loyalty programs and marketing campaigns. During the first month after go-live, the program had more than 200 thousand members, while each loyalty campaign generated 2 to 3 times higher turnover. What is important, ENOC was the first company working with Comarch that decided to create a fully digital loyalty program driven by a mobile application – without any physical cards.

“Comarch Loyalty Management, the tool we are currently using, provides us with what is most important, and that is – short time-to-market. The oil & gas industry in the Middle East is full of challenges and requires providing customers with unique offers through a comprehensive and, at the same time, intuitive interface. I must admit that the tasks I set for Comarch while building the “Yes” application were not easy. However, the end result speaks for itself – ENOC’s loyalty program has achieved the fastest membership growth in the history of loyalty programs in the United Arab Emirates!” – said Suryaveer Singh, Head of Loyalty at ENOC.

The collaboration between ENOC and Comarch is far from over. The companies are in the midst of discussions concerning further development of the loyalty program and a new AI project that aims to automate some of the marketing processes carried out by ENOC. The partnership will also move on to other business areas such as healthcare (diagnostic points) and Smart Video Analytics.

“Historically speaking, ENOC was Comarch’s 4th client in the Middle East – but the first where we had the opportunity to participate in the system development process – from the consulting project stage. The project we started 7 years ago has become a huge commercial success. Over time, we have further developed our cooperation with the client by adding new modules and packages of additional services, including hosting provided by Comarch’s Data Center in Dubai. We are currently preparing to start an AI project and install a dedicated diagnostic point for tanker drivers. This will be a new chapter in our partnership.”  – said Bartosz Demczuk, Senior Vice President at Comarch Middle East.

BEIJING, Dec. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — The high-level segment of the second part of the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP15) concluded in Montreal, Canada, on Saturday.

The meeting has played a very important role in promoting the negotiation process of the COP15, said Huang Runqiu, COP15 president and China’s minister of ecology and environment.

“China will continue to play its role while holding the COP15 presidency to help form synergy from all parties, close gaps and build consensus to reach an ambitious, realistic and balanced framework that the international community has been expecting,” he added.

“We must work together to promote harmonious co-existence between man and Nature, build a community of all life on the Earth, and create a clean and beautiful world for us all,” said Chinese President Xi Jinping at the opening ceremony of the high-level segment earlier on Thursday.

According to Huang, the address made by Xi is inspirational to the negotiators. A total of 190 representatives made active contributions to the development of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework. They expressed a strong political will to reach an adoption and implementation of it.

China has promoted ecological progress and biodiversity protection. “We have found a path of biodiversity protection with Chinese characteristics,” Xi said.

On December 13, the United Nations has recognized China’s “Shan-Shui Initiative” to restore 10 million hectares of ecosystems across the country as one of 10 pioneering projects to preserve the nature. The initiative honored as World Restoration Flagship. This ambitious initiative combines 75 large-scale projects, from mountains to coastal estuaries, across the world’s most populous nation.

Since the beginning of the 13th Five-Year Plan period (2016-2020), China has implemented 44 projects of “Shan-Shui Initiative,” and completed ecological protection and restoration of more than 3.5 million hectares.

According to the white paper on Biodiversity Conservation, China has set up 10 pilot programs for the national park system since 2015, covering an area of 2.2 million hectares. A variety of endangered species, such as giant pandas and Tibetan antelopes, are well protected in the area. Besides, China has established nearly 10,000 nature reserves, accounting for about 18 percent of the total land area.

So far, nearly 200 botanical gardens and 250 wildlife rescue and breeding bases were established, with approximately 23,000 plant species and over 60 endangered animal species preserved.

In the future, China will continue to advance ecological progress, and plan its development in the context of promoting harmonious co-existence between man and Nature, Xi said.

QINGDAO, China, Dec. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — On December 18th, the final day of FIFA World Cup 2022, Hisense Global Partner Conference successfully landed in Qatar. Its global partners joined together for this event to prepare for their journey to a new stage of development. Meanwhile, Mr. Jian Zhou, Chinese Ambassador to the State of Qatar and Mr. Nick Brown, FIFA SVP-Commercial Partnerships, also attended the event, and each sent their warmest wishes for the success of the conference.

Hisense Struck Gold in Global Markets

Dr. Lan Lin, Chairman of Hisense, delivered a speech entitled To Be the Top Player at the conference. In his speech, Dr. Lin delightedly announced Hisense’s unprecedented visibility as an official sponsor during this tournament and spotlighted its steady growth in the past four years.

According to Dr. Lin, Hisense’s overall strength and competitiveness have reached a new level, with its sales revenue preliminarily estimated to increase from US$18.1 billion in 2018 to US$27 billion this year. Besides, the B2B industry has also gradually become a new growth sector for Hisense’s international business, which has increased Hisense’s brand awareness at a compound annual growth rate of 10%, according to Ipsos. Another highlight of Hisense’s achievements lies in its enhanced operation capability. By incorporating the local culture and Hisense management philosophy, Hisense has successfully built 66 overseas companies, 23 R&D centers and 31 production bases, striking gold in the global markets.

Hisense Upholding its Dedication to Globalization

To further stimulate Hisense’s global development, Dr. Lin also presented three visions for Hisense’s future in the next years. One of its major goals is to bring Hisense’s brand image to a much higher level by increasing its global brand index above 100 within three years. As Dr. Lin said, only by enhancing its brand image can Hisense grow as a name brand and secure its sustainable development. For this, Hisense will strengthen its investment in products to polish their functionality and performance.

Besides, to better follow the trend of the world, Hisense will also be determined to consolidate its global growth by setting a second growth curve, and as Dr. Lin emphasized, this business should focus on two words: smart and green, which signifies that Hisense will move forward with its “Smart Home” Strategy and advance their sustainable and low-carbon development.

Last but not least, Dr. Lin proposed that Hisense would improve itself to be the best company it can be. Hisense will develop a new growth strategy by attracting the best talents to produce the best products.

The Global Partner Conference looked back on Hisense’s path of globalization, demonstrated its latest display technology, and shared its goals with all partners. For the years ahead, Hisense will step up its effort to establish itself as an international brand by increasing its brand price index, advancing its sustainable development, and continuing its restructuring, with an aim to be the top player in this field.
