HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 18 December 2024 – The first baijiu company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, ZJLD Group Inc. (“ZJLD” or the “Company”, SEHK stock code: 06979. HK), is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Kweichow Zhenjiu, successfully held the “Zhenjiu World Tour — Light Chasers in Antarctica” voyage from November 27 to December 7. The event aimed to raise awareness of environmental protection across society, emphasizing the responsibilities that enterprises should uphold in sustainable development. The “Kweichow Zhenjiu” giant cruise carried over 200 “Zhen Fans” as it set sail from Ushuaia, Argentina, embarking on a journey of more than ten days and traversing a total of 1,585 nautical miles to reach the mysterious Antarctic Peninsula, allowing participants to experience the breathtaking beauty of this “Last Pure Land on Earth.”
Antarctica has been recognized by National Geographic as one of the “50 Places You Must Visit in a Lifetime,” celebrated for its unique ecological environment and breathtaking natural scenery. This event allowed Zhen Fans to engage closely with Antarctica’s glaciers and penguins, fostering a deeper understanding of the Antarctic ecosystem and the history of scientific exploration. It also underscored the pressing issue of “global warming”, urging society to raise awareness and take concrete measures to reduce carbon emissions.
The Light Chasers in Antarctica event marks the second installment in the series, following the “Zhenjiu World Tour —Light Gatherers on Mount Everest” held in April. During the Everest expedition, the Zhenjiu team dedicated nine days to reach the Everest Base Camp at 5,364 meters, where they conducted a three-day waste cleanup. This effort showcased Zhenjiu’s commitment to environmental protection, aiming to enhance public consciousness and inspire more individuals to engage in ecological initiatives and collaborate in safeguarding our planet.
Mr. Paul Ng, the Executive Director and Head of International Operations, said, “This challenging voyage embodies our Company’s ESG philosophy, aiming to cultivate a profound awareness about the significant impact of global climate change on our planet and our lives through the lens of ‘The Beauty of Nature.’ We believe that a company’s success is defined not only by its financial performance but also by its capacity to inspire and galvanize others towards the pursuit of sustainability. We aspire to ignite a passion within more individuals and businesses to embrace ESG practices, gathering a collaborative effort to protect our home.”
As a pioneer in sustainable development within the liquor industry, Kweichow Zhenjiu actively responds to national Dual Carbon targets and continuously fine-tunes its ESG practices, incorporating water resource management systems, climate change risk control, and packaging recycling into its corporate strategy. The Company has attained remarkable achievements in ESG. For two consecutive years, it has been rated as one of the “Wind China Listed Companies ESG Best Practice 100” and was the only baijiu company on the list.
This event epitomized the ZJLD brand’s spirit and gave participants an unforgettable experience that resonated deeply. Moving forward, ZJLD remains committed to advancing sustainable development practices and encouraging a broader coalition of businesses and individuals to join ESG efforts and create a more harmonious and sustainable corporate and living environment.

Under the leadership of PCEO Michael O. de Jesus, who brings more than 37 years of domestic and international financial experience, DBP solidified its position as a catalyst for sustainable development. With a strong ethical framework, the bank’s commitment to environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and good governance has been instrumental in driving national progress.

Over 6.6 million trees have been planted across 48 project sites spanning 6,000 hectares in collaboration with local communities, universities, and non-governmental organizations—achieving 85% of the 2030 target. This initiative enhances biodiversity, improves local livelihoods, and contributes to the Philippines’ climate action goals through carbon sequestration.
As a key player in driving the country’s transition to a low-carbon economy, with target of 35% renewable energy in the power mix by 2030, DBP actively channels resources to climate financing and renewable energy projects.

DBP’s holistic approach extends beyond financing to education, exemplified by its Resources for Inclusive and Sustainable Education (RISE) CSR program, which provides scholarships to underprivileged students. This emphasis on human capital development underscores the bank’s conviction that education is integral to lasting social and economic progress.
The recent induction of DBP into the Corporate Governance Scorecard Hall of Fame further validates its adherence to high ethical standards, transparency, and good governance.

Mr. Uthai Uthaisangsuk, President of Sansiri Public Company Limited, reaffirmed the launch of The Society, ‘We are proud to have contributed to Phuket’s development for over 13 years, having successfully completed a portfolio of 27 projects on the island, valued at 26 billion baht. These include notable developments such as Baan Mai Khao Phuket, THE BASE Central Phuket, THE DECK Patong, and Saransiri Koh Kaew. Sansiri plans on continuing its success in the region with the launch of more than 27 Phuket projects over the next five years.’
‘This unwavering trust stems from the company’s high-quality project locations in the island’s choicest areas, alongside comprehensive after-sales services, values that have translated into exceptional returns. We value the potential of Thailand’s recovering tourism sector, especially in Phuket, which is gaining global attention as one of the world’s largest vacation real estate destinations, with an increasing number of foreigners choosing to invest in Thai properties as their second homes. Phuket’s unique indigenous identity, including its cuisine, arts, and culture, serves as powerful magnets for both foreign customers and investors. In addition, Thailand’s visa exemption policy has catalysed unprecedented growth in global tourism, resulting in an “Always High Season” phenomenon for Phuket.’
‘Sansiri developed The Society in the prime Bang Tao-Cherngtalay area to establish it as a global brand at the heart of the exciting developments taking place, enabling visitors to explore all that Phuket and the distinctive Sansiri lifestyle have to offer through new perspectives.’ Mr. Uthai emphasised,
Over four decades, Sansiri has successfully curated exceptional collaborations with the world’s most sought-after international design talents; virtuosos whose masterful touch has graced prestigious private estates and ultra-luxury hotels globally. These visionary collaborations have given rise to extraordinary and bespoke design residences under the Sansiri Luxury Collection portfolio. Each project showcases a rare and highly customised living space, spanning both ultra-luxury flagship and luxury developments across landmark projects in Thailand. These include 98 Wireless, super-luxury flagship condominiums commanding Thailand’s most prestigious resale values, inspired by Ralph Lauren Home with interiors meticulously curated by Anne Carson; KHUN by YOO inspired by Starck, a pioneering Design Branded Residence condominium in the Thong Lo district; and an anthology of extraordinary signature residences presenting the aesthetic vision of world-renowned designers at THE MONUMENT Thong Lo, including Gert Voorjans, the Antwerp-based design virtuoso behind the architectural poetry of Dries Van Noten’s flagship boutiques, and Lorenzo Castillo, the mastermind behind LOEWE’s ethereal retail sanctuaries in Spain, Shanghai, and Hong Kong.
Sansiri showcases its design prowess at ‘The Society,’ a new, luxurious yet accessible social hub in Phuket. This first-of-its-kind space by Sansiri is designed to foster community bonding and elevate Phuket as a premiere tourist destination. It offers a continuous lineup of lifestyle activities, featuring contributions from top designers and illustrators to create an immersive experience. Open daily, ‘The Society’ serves as a cultural focal point where both Thai and international visitors can engage with local lifestyle through unique, tailored experiences in food, fashion, arts, and sustainability.
Key attractions include the Day-to-Night Eatery with an authentic Spanish menu at VAMOS Spanish Tapas Bar, and specialty coffees from BEANS Coffee Roaster. The venue also provides a co-sharing workspace ideal for private meetings and podcasting, an art exhibition space, and a vibrant calendar of lifestyle events. Additionally, it houses a sales gallery showcasing Sansiri’s developments like CANVAS Cherngtalay, the first condominium in the Cherngtalay zone, and THE TALES, Sansiri’s first Pool Villa Collection in Phuket with ‘THE TALES STORY ONE – BANGJO’.
The world-class architectural design by Ed Tuttle’s team complements the venue’s welcoming atmosphere, similar to visiting a friend’s home. Iconic furniture pieces like the Cocoon by Louis Vuitton from the exclusive Objets Nomades collection and Amanta armchairs by Mario Bellini for C&B Italia from the 1960s enhance the sophisticated setting, making ‘The Society’ a must-visit for those seeking to connect and be inspired.
