- SK tesSK Tes Publishes 2025 Sustainability Report: Resilience in the Circular EconomySINGAPORE, Aug 24, 2026 - SK tes, a global leader in sustainable technology services, today announced the release of its 2025 Sustainability Report, Resilience in the Circular Economy, demonstrating how circular economy solutions are helping organizations navigate changing working models, resource constraint, regulatory change, and the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence (AI). The theme of this year's report reflects SK tes' brief that circularity is no longer solely about waste reduction and resource recovery, but a strategic enabler of business resilience, resource security, and long-term value creation. As industries face accelerating technology refresh cycles, evolving regulations, and increasing pressure to deliver on sustainability commitments, the report explores how circular economy principles can help business build more resilient supply chains while reducing environmental impact. The report also examines the growing influence of AI and data center expansion on global technology lifecycles, highlighting the critical role of responsible IT asset disposition (ITAD), reuse, and material recovery in supporting a sustainable digital economy. The report details SK tes' continued progress across its Protect, Preserve, and Provide sustainability strategy, including advances in climate action, responsible e-waste management, data security, workforce wellbeing, ethical business conduct, diversity and inclusion, and sustainable innovation. It also outlines the company's first Double Materiality Assessment (DMA), which provides a deeper understanding of both SK tes' impacts on society and the environment and the sustainability issues most material to the business and its stakeholders. "This year we highlight the growing importance of resilience. Global supply chains continue to experience disruption from geopolitical circumstances, trade restrictions, resource constraints, inflationary pressures, and climate-related risks. The need for resilient circular economy solutions has never been greater. While circularity is often viewed through the lens of resource recovery and waste reduction, its true value extends much further - helping organizations strengthen business continuity, improve resource security and create long-term competitive advantage." - Jin Mo Lee, CEO, SK tes The report identifies several emerging trends shaping the future of circularity, including the rapid growth of AI infrastructure. As AI drives unprecedented demand for servers, advanced chips and data center capacity, SK tes highlights the importance of extending hardware lifecycles, maximizing reuse opportunities, and recovering valuable materials from end-of-life technology. The report notes that circular approaches remain a critical lever for reducing the environmental footprint of AI while supporting the transition to a more resource-efficient economy. "At SK tes, sustainability is not a separate agenda. It is how we create value, manage risk, innovate, and build long-term resilience for our clients, employees and communities. Our 2025 Sustainability Report marks the evolution of SK tes from a technology lifecycle services provider into a trusted sustainability partner. Through initiatives such as our Double Materiality Assessment, ESG Quality Framework, Carbon Roadmap, and ongoing innovation in circular solutions, we are helping businesses transform their sustainability ambitions into measurable outcomes while preparing for the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow." - Alvin Piadasa, Group Sustainability Director, SK tes Among the year's achievements, SK tes strengthened its sustainability governance framework, enhanced independent verification and assurance processes, expanded renewable energy usage, and continued developing innovative circular services. The company also advanced its Carbon Roadmap, helping customers connect circularity with climate action through avoided emissions measurement, enhanced carbon reporting, and future carbon inset opportunities. The report also provides a progress update on SK tes' long-term mission to make a Decade of Difference by sustainably transforming and repurposing one billion kilograms of assets by 2030, as well as achieving the 2025 target to reduce landfill volumes. Looking ahead, SK tes will remain focused on strengthening governance, accelerating climate action, improving transparency across its value chain, and developing innovative solutions that support a more resilient circular economy.

- Shougang Century Accelerates Global Expansion as New Materials Strategy Opens Up New Growth OpportunitiesCompanies: Shougang GroupShougang Century Holdings Limited (0103.HK) maintained growth in the first half of 2026, with revenue rising 14.1% year on year and export business continuing to accelerate. More notable than the headline figures is the transformation underway at a manufacturer that has specialized in steel cord for decades. The Company is simultaneously cultivating new growth engines in advanced materials: horizontally extending its tyre reinforcement materials portfolio into industrial rayon, while vertically applying its precision metal-wire manufacturing capabilities to robotics, a key future growth sector. A transition from a single-product steel cord supplier into a collaborative advanced-materials platform is increasingly taking shape. Horizontal Expansion: Partnering with a Global Rayon Leader to Build a Dual Reinforcement Materials Portfolio of Steel Cord and Industrial Rayon The Company recently entered into a cooperation framework agreement (the "Cooperation Framework Agreement") with HONG KONG BMC (EUROPE I) LIMITED ("HK BMC"). Pursuant to the agreement, the parties preliminarily intend to jointly establish a joint venture, with a view to achieving complementary strengths and synergies in the field of tyre reinforcement materials and jointly exploring the global market for industrial rayon products. The proposed cooperation marks a further horizontal extension by Shougang Century along its existing tyre reinforcement materials value chain, with a multi-material product portfolio combining steel cord and industrial rayon gradually taking shape. According to the announcement, HK BMC is a controlling shareholder of Germany-based Cordenka GmbH & Co. KG ("Cordenka"). Cordenka is a world-leading manufacturer of industrial rayon, a high-performance tyre carcass reinforcement material. Shougang Century and Cordenka are both major suppliers of tyre reinforcement materials, with a highly overlapping customer base and strong business complementarity. This initiative is not a move into an unrelated sector, but a targeted extension along the Company's existing value chain. Steel cord and industrial rayon are both important components of tyre reinforcement materials. The announcement noted that Shougang Century and Cordenka have highly overlapping customer bases and complementary businesses. Following the establishment of the joint venture, the parties plan to integrate product lines and customer resources, further strengthening their influence and brand presence in the global tyre supply chain. This means that Shougang Century would not need to build market channels for industrial rayon entirely from scratch. Instead, it is expected to leverage the parties' existing relationships with leading global tyre manufacturers to pursue product synergies and cross-selling within established certification and supply-chain systems. Shougang Century has already built a solid customer base, with customer coverage of approximately 90%, 70% and 66% among the world's top 10, top 20 and top 50 tyre companies, respectively. Its three largest customers continue to be well-known overseas tyre manufacturers. Meanwhile, Cordenka brings technology expertise and international customer resources in industrial rayon. The strong overlap between their customer bases and the complementary nature of their products could deepen product penetration within individual customers and enhance synergies across the global tyre supply chain. From a longer-term strategic perspective, the industrial rayon initiative also aligns with Shougang Century's push toward higher-end product development, sustainability and globalization. In recent years, the Company has continued to increase the proportion of Super Tensile (ST) and Ultra Tensile (UT) steel cord products, while a new generation of Mega Tensile (MT) products is gradually being introduced to the market. The Company has also begun volume supply of products containing more than 70% recycled steel. Cordenka's industrial rayon, meanwhile, is produced from wood pulp and has a lower carbon footprint than conventional petrochemical-based materials. If the cooperation progresses smoothly, Shougang Century's tyre reinforcement materials portfolio could expand from steel cord alone to a combination of steel cord and industrial rayon, enriching its product mix while further strengthening its higher-end, sustainable and global positioning. Vertical Breakthrough: Robot Tendon Cables Enter Commercial Validation as Precision Manufacturing Capabilities Expand into New Applications At the same time, Shougang Century is extending its existing materials expertise and manufacturing capabilities into new high-growth applications. Building on its long-standing capabilities in precision steel-wire drawing, stranding and metal-material processing, the Company has installed a full set of production equipment dedicated to robot tendon cables. Its products cover tendon cables made from a range of metallic materials, including steel wire and tungsten wire. The Company can also apply surface coatings and manufacture terminals according to customer requirements, supporting a wide range of customized specifications. It has already engaged with multiple downstream robotics companies, and as certain product samples have received customer approval and entered small-batch supply, Shougang Century's robot tendon cable business has begun the commercial validation stage. Market analysts noted that industrial rayon represents Shougang Century's horizontal expansion within the tyre reinforcement materials value chain, while robot tendon cables represent an extension of the Company's precision metal-wire manufacturing capabilities into emerging applications such as robotics. Together, these two pathways broaden the growth potential of the Company's advanced-materials business. From a capital markets perspective, Shougang Century is developing a clearer multi-layered growth profile. Its traditional steel cord business provides the operating foundation, while overseas market expansion and upgrades to higher-end ST, UT and MT products support growth in the core business. New-materials businesses such as industrial rayon and robot tendon cables, meanwhile, could open up additional growth opportunities and valuation upside. Alongside growth, the Company continues to strengthen shareholder returns. The final dividend for 2025 was HK7.8 cents per share, representing an expected total dividend payment of approximately HK$40.5 million and a payout ratio of about 72% based on earnings per share. Under the previously announced dividend distribution plan for 2024 to 2028, the Company intends to distribute no less than HK$40 million in dividends each year, further reinforcing the foundation for long-term shareholder returns alongside business expansion. As the new industrial rayon cooperation advances and new businesses such as robot tendon cables enter the commercial validation stage, Shougang Century is extending beyond its traditional steel cord business toward a broader model of globalized tyre reinforcement materials and diversified advanced materials. As the relevant projects are implemented, synergies across products, customers and application scenarios are expected to be further unlocked, accelerating the Company's evolution from a traditional steel cord manufacturer into a global advanced-manufacturing platform.

- Hong Kong strengthens position as Asia's leading sustainable fashion hubHong Kong's position as one of Asia's most prominent sustainable fashion hubs has been further strengthened, with the HKTDC ESG Index 2026 released by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) for the fashion industry rising to 65.5 in 2026, up 2.3 percentage points from 2025. The increase reflects growing industry confidence in Hong Kong as a premier platform for sustainable fashion development and ESG-related business opportunities. The latest findings also highlight the increasing commercial value of sustainability. Among exhibitors offering ESG-related products or services, 61% reported achieving additional profit margins of at least 10%, while 47% of buyers sourcing ESG-related products were willing to pay a premium of 10% or more. The results show that ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) is increasingly embedded across the fashion value chain, while businesses recognise its potential to drive innovation, competitiveness and growth. The proportion of fashion practitioners considering ESG essential rose from 85% in 2025 to 92% in 2026, with those rating it "very important" increasing overall from 15% to 23%. This trend was markedly stronger among Chinese Mainland respondents, with 45% of whom regarded ESG as "very important" in business decision-making, representing a significant 27 percentage-point increase compared with 2025. HKTDC Principal Economist (Global Research Team) Alice Tsang, said: "The latest findings show sustainability is becoming an increasingly important commercial driver for the fashion industry. Not only are more companies integrating ESG into their business strategies, but many are also seeing tangible financial benefits. The strong profit margins reported by ESG-related suppliers, together with buyers' willingness to pay significant premiums for sustainable products, demonstrate that sustainability helps create business value. This trend, combined with Hong Kong's strengths in international connectivity, green finance and professional services, reinforces the city's role as a leading sustainable fashion hub in Asia." Hong Kong's ESG ecosystem earns strong industry recognition Hong Kong's strengthening position as a sustainable fashion hub was reflected across all three ESG dimensions. While the overall ESG Index rose to 65.5, all three sub-indices for the fashion industry also recorded gains, with the Environmental Sub-index increasing to 64.3, the Social Sub-index climbing to 67.0, and the Governance Sub-index advancing to 66.1. The results indicate that fashion practitioners increasingly value Hong Kong's strengths in green finance and sustainable investment opportunities, cross-border ESG knowledge exchange and business collaboration, as well as its effective ESG reporting framework and international connectivity. Together, these advantages reinforce Hong Kong's role as a leading platform for sustainable fashion development in Asia. ESG adoption delivers business value In addition to assessing Hong Kong's strengths as a sustainable fashion hub, the research highlights that sustainability is increasingly becoming an integral part of business strategy, product development and sourcing decisions, reflecting both evolving market expectations and emerging business opportunities. Other key findings: The share of fashion practitioners engaged in sourcing or selling ESG-related products and services rose from 33% in 2025 to 46% in 2026. Sustainable supply chain platforms (54%), AI analytics (31%) and supplier collaboration tools (31%) were identified as the most valuable digital solutions that Hong Kong offers for supporting ESG compliance. Respondents cited tools for better transparency and traceability (44%), ESG certification (40%), and ESG audits and risk analysis solutions (28%) as the top three supply chain solutions that Hong Kong offers for complying ESG reporting requirements across complex supply chains.
