PVH Corp. Signs Fashion Pact, Joins Industry Peers to Create More Sustainable Future
PVH, Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger CEOs make new commitments on climate, biodiversity and oceans NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--$pvh #FashionPact--PVH Corp. [NYSE:PVH], one of the world’s largest apparel companies and owner of iconic brands, including CALVIN KLEIN, TOMMY HILFIGER, Van Heusen, Speedo, and IZOD, announced today it has signed the Fashion Pact, a coalition of more than 30 global fashion and textile companies pledging to reduce the environmental impact of the fashion industry. There are three key areas of focus: climate, biodiversity and oceans. “Forming one powerful and cohesive front at this scale shows how serious the fashion industry is about doing the right thing and taking tangible actions to protect the world,” said PVH Chairman & CEO Emanuel Chirico. “PVH measures our success by more than just our bottom line, and sharing information and creating standards of measurement will lead to more sustainable decisions.” The Fashion Pact will be presented to leaders representing the top seven economies in the world at the G7 meeting on August 26 in Biarritz, France. Cheryl Abel-Hodges, CEO of Calvin Klein, and Daniel Grieder, CEO of Tommy Hilfiger Global and PVH Europe, committed the brands to the collective pledge that builds on PVH’s long-standing commitment to being a good corporate citizen. This engagement to achieve practical objective areas aligns with PVH’s Forward Fashion corporate responsibility strategy that aims to reduce the company’s negative impacts to zero, increase positive impacts to 100% and improve over one million lives throughout its value chain. The Fashion Pact was created at the request of French President Emmanuel Macron, who charged leading global fashion companies to advance sustainability within the industry. François-Henri Pinault, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Kering, was tapped to align partners around the world. As the first U.S.-based company to commit to the Fashion Pact, PVH reaffirms its purpose to power brands that drive fashion forward – for good. PVH and its brands are partners in sustainability organizations Fashion For Good, Ellen McArthur Foundation and Sustainable Apparel Coalition, among others, recognizing that partnership with our peers will begin to mitigate at scale the effects our industry has on the environment. “Calvin Klein recognizes our responsibility and the responsibility of our industry to care for our planet and our communities; we also believe that sustainable business is smart business,” said Abel-Hodges. “We are pleased to be part of this impressive group committed to taking urgent action on these critical climate issues.” The goal is for representation of at least 20 percent of the global fashion industry, measured by volume of products. “At Tommy Hilfiger, we recognize that only by coming together can we achieve real systemic change and address the industry’s – and the world’s – most pressing global sustainability challenges. While the steps taken separately by various companies are encouraging, our true strength comes in numbers and in unity,” said Grieder. The Pact’s objectives focus on actions in areas to safeguard the planet: Stop global warming by creating and deploying an action plan for achieving the objective of zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, in order to keep global warming below a 1.5°C pathway between now and 2100. Restore biodiversity by achieving objectives that use Science-Based Targets to restore natural ecosystems and protect species. Protect the oceans by reducing the fashion industry’s negative impact on the world’s oceans through practical initiatives, such as gradually removing the usage of single-use plastics.

MMC UAV is Improving its Industrial UAV Leadership by Industrial Synergy Strength
2019 Global UAV Market -- China is Claiming the Throne SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Over the past years, unmanned aerial vehicle technology has been drastically applied for commercial purposes following the wide application of UAV, increasingly established AI technology, electronic and wireless control technological improvement and especially the invention of multi-rotor structure. It is reported that the number of total commercial UAV output reached over 4,000,000 in 2018, indicating a growing market with great potential. DJI, as a leader in consumer drone market, takes up 70% of market share. MMC UAV on the other hand is strengthening its dominance over industrial UAV market. In recent years, MMC UAV has been utilizing industrial synergy strength to build an open and sharing UAV eco-system. Ever since 2015, its business has touched upon five continents, covering such areas as energy inspection, public safety, rescue, mapping, and environmental protection etc. MMC has five industry centers in Shenzhen, Zhejiang, Guangdong, Hubei and Jiangxi province with an all-round industry-chain layout from design, R&D, manufacturing, sales, training, and service. Other notable Chinese UAV companies include EHang, Yuneec, ChinaRS, ZeroTech. 1. UAV Development Trend In recent years, consumer drone market is the leading prosperous section of overall UAV market thanks to large amount of capital inflow. Technically speaking, consumer drone market features few entry barriers and it is now a highly competitive market that leaves less and less profit for most companies. On the contrary, industrial UAV market is in prosperity with demands unleashed from such areas as construction, agriculture, mining and it is becoming a major market growth pole. As a report in The Economist predicted, industrial UAV market volume could surpass $1.4 billion in 2019 and reach $10 billion in 2023. As noted by DroneDeploy 2018 UAV Industry report, it utilized UAV technology to draw maps for a total of 30 million acres of land in altogether 180 countries, doubling its global business volume. Also noted in the report is that the fastest industrial UAV target market lies in construction, agriculture, mining, surveying and mapping, as well as real estate, each enjoying over 100% growth rate. 2. UAV Evolves into Industry Chain Integration Model UAV market research institute Droneii published a 2019 UAV Environment Map that unfolds the layout of global UAV market. Droneii has been publishing this map for years and from the changes in the map we can tell the industry changes. As the industry develops ahead, technological requirements are becoming more demanding and industry collaboration is in shape. Strategic partnership among software companies have come into being for providing point-to-point solution. Many companies have come to realize that collaboration is the new way to conquer the market. "To publish the industrial UAV ecosystem standard means more opportunities in the industry and greater possibility for customized payload used in different industries. This also boosts multi-lateral development of UAV industry application and even brings dramatic shift in the industry," said Zhihui Lu, the president of MMC UAV, in 2018 Global VR industry forum. Therefore, customized system integration service is introduced and viewed with significance. Every industry needs more and more customized solutions so more suppliers are changing their standard configuration to meet specific industry needs. In the meantime, a lot of companies will join the UAV application service market to offer specific service targeted towards different scenarios. Besides, the market for rental and maintenance service will be gradually tapped. As of now, in the global UAV market, only a few leading companies such as DJI and MMC are capable of manufacturing industry chain products. MMC, for example, now researches, designs and manufactures core industry chain products including airframe, power system, flight control, video transmission and ground control. All the payloads are designed with standard MMC quick-release connector. MMC builds up its industry chain integration strength, adopts systematic management over cost and quality, and boasts strong product customizing capability, making it a leading company in global UAV industry chain. 3. The Rise of Chinese UAV as well as UAV manufacturers America and Europe as the early adopters of UAV take up the most important market for either consumer drones or industrial UAV. As Asian emerging economies witness rapid development and technological advancement, the research and manufacture of UAV is in a rise in this area. According to 2018-2024 UAV market analysis by Drone Industry Insights, global UAV market value reached $14.1 billion in 2018, with North America for $4.5 billion, Asia for $4.4 billion, and Europe for $4 billion. It can be seen that Asia takes up almost equal market value as north America. In 2024, global UAV market is expected to grow by 20.5% to $43.1 billion, with Asia reaching $18.4 billion (42.69% of global market), North America reaching $11.9 billion as the second largest market, and Europe reaching $9.7 billion. China in terms of both need for commercial use or UAV research is now on its way to a leader in global UAV market. According to civil UAV business license summary sheet, as of June 30th,2019, there are altogether 1,353 companies that have been approved of the license and they are shaping a product chain manufacturing model. Besides, there are over 330,000 registered drones in China. According to China UAV Association, Chinese UAV export volume reached 884,000 in 2017, a 47.2% year-on-year growth rate, with export destinations being Hongkong, North America and European Union. In China, UAV has been intensely adopted in police, urban management, agriculture, geology, meteorology, electric power, rescue and photography, etc. In 2018, China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology published a civil UAV industry report noting that China is playing a dominant role in global consumer drone market and it strives to accelerate unified management over the companies in the industry for greater strength with a hope of nurturing leading UAV manufacturers before 2020.

Cantargia and BioWa Extend Ongoing Collaboration around the POTELLIGENT® Technology
LUND, Sweden & PRINCETON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cantargia AB and BioWa Inc. have signed an extension of the license agreement around the BioWa proprietary POTELLIGENT® Technology for production of Cantargia’s antibody drug candidate CAN04, which gives Cantargia broader rights to use the technology. Since the original agreement allowing use of POTELLIGENT® Technology was signed in 2015, Cantargia has advanced CAN04 to phase IIa clinical development for potential use in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and pancreatic cancer (PDAC). Cantargia develops antibody-based pharmaceuticals against the interleukin 1 receptor accessory protein (IL1RAP). The POTELLIGENT® technology generates antibodies with enhanced antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC). The investigational antibody CAN04 binds IL1RAP with high affinity and functions through both ADCC and blockade of interleukin 1 signaling. CAN04 is currently produced in a Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell line provided by BioWa which has been engineered using POTELLIGENT® Technology. The extended agreement enables Cantargia to create and use additional CHO cell lines engineered using POTELLIGENT® Technology and develop and commercialize CAN04 made through such CHO cell line. With CAN04 having reached phase IIa clinical development, the next step in the production development is to further reduce production costs using various process improvements as well as scaling up, and Cantargia and BioWa have agreed to extend the current license to include additional opportunities. “We are extremely pleased with our collaboration with BioWa and the amended agreement is a logical step in our long-term relationship. Given the successful advances of CAN04, optimization of the production process to reduce cost is part of the CAN04 development plan”, Göran Forsberg, Cantargia’s CEO says. “We believe that this extension of the license agreement would add benefits into the fruitful collaboration between Cantargia and BioWa.” said Takeshi Masuda, BioWa’s President and CEO. “We are very pleased that this amended agreement could support the innovative program going forward”. This is information that Cantargia AB is obliged to make public pursuant to the EU Market Abuse Regulation. The information was submitted for publication, through the agency of the contact person set out above, at 08.30 CET on August 23, 2019. About Cantargia Cantargia AB (publ), reg. no. 556791-6019, is a biotechnology company that develops antibody-based treatments for life-threatening diseases. The basis for this is the protein IL1RAP that is involved in a number of diseases and where Cantargia has established a platform. The main project, the antibody CAN04 (nidanilimab) is being studied in the clinical phase I/IIa CANFOUR with a primary focus on non-small cell lung cancer and pancreatic cancer. The study is conducting both monotherapy and combination therapy. Cantargia's other project, CANxx, is in the research phase and is aiming to develop an IL1RAP binding antibody optimised for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Cantargia is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm (ticker: CANTA). More information about Cantargia is available at http://www.cantargia.com. About BioWa BioWa is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kyowa Kirin Co., Ltd. (“Kyowa Kirin”), a leading biopharmaceutical company in Japan.
