Deriv gets Gold accreditation by Investors in People

Deriv celebrates Gold accreditation success

Investors in People awarded Gold accreditation to Deriv

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, April 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Deriv, one of the leaders in the fintech industry, achieved We invest in people, gold accreditation. This is the first industry accolade received in 2023, one of its many goals this year.

Being awarded gold is a triumph and something only 17% of organisations that Investors in People (IIP) assess achieve. This accreditation is for 3 years. IIP celebrates companies that finetune their management style to demonstrate trust, motivate employees to improve skills and knowledge, and remain agile to change.

For Deriv the gold accreditation acknowledges the leadership approach, people practices, and culture of trust that the broker has strived to build in all its offices. Survey results reveal 80% of employees agree on solid people practices. They appreciate the empowering work culture which inspires them to be on their ‘A’ game and work their best.

The insights captured also indicate Deriv provides career advancement opportunities and cares about putting people first. Employees participate in innovation and transformation through a shift from small to big thinking about their work scopes, the business, and the industry.

The shortlisting companies relies on three principles:

Leading: How much trust is there between employees and the leadership team? Do leaders live up to their values and inspire the right culture?

Supporting: Are the right structures in place so employees can do their job well? Are employees rewarded for doing well? And supported properly if they’re struggling?

Improving: Are there plenty of opportunities for employees to grow and develop? Is the company ready for any changes the future might bring?

The process:

  • IIP representative talks to the company, its employees, and what is the motive for achieving accreditation.
  • IIP sends out a survey to employees to see how they feel about working in the company and how well they are supported.
  • IIP conducts one-on-one interviews with employees and attends meetings to gain insight into the workplace.
  • The key findings are published in a report revealing the company’s failure or success in achieving the accreditation. The report also includes recommendations from IIP on the next steps for the company.
  • IIP creates an action plan for what changes the company should make over the accreditation period.

The accreditation positions Deriv in 1st ranking in the finance and insurance activities sector and 3rd ranking globally in the technology/IT sector. Rankings are for organisations with employee strength of 250–4,999.

Edison Energia: 2 million contracts milestone, goal to double with 2030 Strategic Plan

MILAN, Italy, April 19, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Edison Energia, an Edison Group company active in the sale of electric power and natural gas to households and businesses and value-added services to the retail market, reached 2 million contracts including residential, SME and industrial customers, thereby consolidating its third position in the national market in terms of volumes of electric power and its second position in terms of volumes of natural gas sold. The company’s goal, through its strategic development plan to 2030, is to double the number of contracts to 4 million between commodities, energy efficiency services and products (photovoltaic technology, heat pumps, boilers and climate), electric mobility solutions and insurance products for the protection of domestic systems.

At the event to present the plan and celebrate the milestone, Nicola Monti, CEO of the Edison Group, explained that the group has “a strategic plan with three main growth axes between now and 2030”: renewables, natural gas and the growth of all market activities. Monti continued: “We are very satisfied with the goals achieved by Edison Energia, a company that best expresses the corporate values of quality, innovation and competence at the service of the domestic and industrial sectors.” The group’s CEO added that, “Edison is an operator committed to the ecological transition of our country through the entire industrial chain from generation to the marketing of energy products and services to all market segments.”

The goal is to achieve 4 million contracts by 2030, mainly through organic development but also through non-organic growth opportunities, with the acquisition of large and small companies – as has already happened between 2018 and 2022 with Gas Natural, Attiva, Energia Etica and Gaxa – as well as through participation in auctions following the end of the protected market. According to the CEO of Edison Energia, Massimo Quaglini, “today more than ever people are looking for a relationship based on trust, reliability and soundness of the supplier. Our unique 140-year history of excellence in the sector qualifies us to be a partner capable of fully satisfying these needs of our customers: we accompany families and businesses in learning about and progressively adopting increasingly advanced solutions for a conscious and sustainable energy consumption for all”, all this in a context in which the energy crisis and the concerns triggered by the scarcity of raw materials “have profoundly changed the behaviour in the purchasing choices of families and businesses”.

Thailand, Indonesia emerge as bigger links in EV supply chain

According to Nikkei Asia, a news service in Japan, Indonesia and Thailand have become two of the
hottest Asian destinations for investment in parts and materials for electric vehicles (EV), as Japanese,
Chinese and the Republic of Korea (RoK) players race to get in at the start of EV production in the region.
In April, Japanese plastics maker Kuraray opened its first plant in Thailand. Speaking at the opening
ceremony, President Hitoshi said automakers want to have a supply chain.
The new plant is one of a growing number of EV-related investments in Thailand, which is Southeast
Asia's biggest auto producer but still new territory for electric models. RoK's Hyundai Motor started EV
production here just last year, and China's BYD has plans to begin assembling vehicles in Thailand in
2024.
About 70 billion JPY (520 million USD) was invested in the Kuraray plant, a joint venture with Thai
petrochemical company PTT Global Chemical and Japanese trading house Sumitomo Corp.
Kuraray's high-performance resin Genestar is being produced there. It has a higher heat resistance than
standard resins and is used for high-voltage parts around vehicle batteries. Genestar is produced in
Japan, but the new Thai plant will double annual production to 26,000 tonnes.
In March, Japanese electronics parts maker Murata Manufacturing said that it completed a factory for
multilayer ceramic capacitors in Lamphun province in northern Thailand.
Multilayer ceramic capacitors stabilise the flow of electricity inside devices. As many as 10,000 can be
needed in an EV. Murata, the world leader in these capacitors, plans to increase its supply capacity in
Southeast Asia.
Thailand introduced incentives in 2022 to promote the shift to EVs, and Chinese and Japanese
automakers responded.

BYD plans to open a plant next year with an annual output of 150,000 vehicles. Great Wall Motor, which
already has entered the Thai market, and SAIC Motor-owned MG Motor also plan to start production in
the country.
Japanese parts makers see BYD and other Chinese automakers as potential customers. Toyota Motor
and Honda Motor plan to make EVs in Thailand but likely will start at a small scale./.

Reproductive Geneticists Gathered in Paris Present the First-Ever Whole Genome Sequencing Test in Embryos

  • Dr. Santiago Munné, a pioneer in preimplantation genetic diagnosis, presented the new test at the PGDIS Conference
  • The novel laboratory test will not only detect genes inherited from parents, but will also reveal new mutations that could lead to ‘de novo’ diseases such as autism

PARIS, April 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Dr. Santiago Munné, a pioneer in preimplantation genetic diagnosis, presented the first whole genome sequencing test in embryos before delegates at the 20th Conference of the Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis International Society (PGDIS), held this week in Paris.

In his plenary address attended by over 300 experts, Dr. Munné, an internationally recognized trailblazer in reproductive genetics, presented validation data for GenomeScreen™, the test developed by the research team he leads at the biotechnology firm GenEmbryomics.

“We have known since we started working with embryo diagnostics back in 1993 that embryo selection would be key to pregnancy, especially in older patients. Over the last 30 years, our work has been focused on improving genetic embryo selection, though the definitive diagnostic approach—the one that provides the most information and the best outcomes—will doubtless be this one: whole genome sequencing of the embryo using just a few cells obtained from a biopsy. This test will open doors that we never knew existed,” says Munné of the work done at GenEmbryomics.

To understand the genome is to know everything about an embryo before transfer
GenomeScreen™ is a revolutionary new whole genome sequencing test for IVF embryos that has been described as “the most complete genetic test in IVF” by authorities at the PGDIS forum.

The test provides highly precise information on the genome sequence of the embryo and the genetic parents, offering families key preimplantation insights on embryo health and reproductive prognosis that can inform their decisions. Furthermore, this information will be invaluable to individuals born from IVF, as it will provide input on nutrigenomics or guidance on which medicines are most genetically suited to the patient.

“When we first started our research on embryo sequencing, our goal was to create a powerful, comprehensive tool that could equip fertility physicians with exhaustive data for precision screening,” recalls Dr. Nick Murphy, founder of GenEmbryomics. “Now that we have this tool and use it with 99% reliability, we are aware that this diagnosis not only provides information, but also substantially enhances the success of reproductive medicine,” adds Murphy.

Embryo sequencing will increase IVF success rates

Professor Munné, whose career as a leader in reproductive genetics spans over 20 years, has made enormous contributions to embryo selection and IVF treatment. With this test, he and his team of researchers solidify the role of genetic testing within reproductive medicine, increasing treatment success.

“The findings presented at the conference are the validation data for a test that will change embryo selection as we know it,” according to Munné. “Preimplantation genetic analysis with whole genome sequencing is a giant step forward: among other things, it will tell us which embryo will implant successfully, because we will know beforehand which one is truly healthy—the one that is free of diseases inherited from the parents or de novo illnesses, such as autism,” he concludes.

About GenEmbryomics
Founded by Dr. Nick Murphy in 2019, GenEmbryomics is a cutting-edge biotech company specializing in the genomic analysis of embryos to determine the most viable candidates for IVF implantation. Their work will lead to higher success rates in IVF cycles, thanks to their proprietary algorithms offering more accurate and efficient embryo selection based on each embryo’s whole genome.
