The Estée Lauder Companies Launches 2022 Breast Cancer Campaign to Honor 30th Anniversary and Positively Impact the Global Breast Cancer Community

 The Estée Lauder Companies Charitable Foundation will donate $15 million over five years to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation to fund groundbreaking research addressing breast cancer disparities


(BUSINESS WIRE) -- In the 30 years since Evelyn H. Lauder launched The Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Campaign (The Campaign) and co-created the Pink Ribbon in 1992, The Campaign’s mission to help create a breast cancer-free world for all has remained steadfast. The Estée Lauder Companies (ELC) has a long-standing commitment to helping women and girls achieve their highest potential. As ELC’s largest corporate social impact program, The Campaign is a cornerstone of ELC’s social investments in women’s advancement and health, uniting people everywhere to positively impact the global breast cancer community. As breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the world,1 ELC's continued commitment to improving the lives of all those touched by the disease remains unwavering.


Together, The Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Campaign and The Estée Lauder Companies Charitable Foundation (ELCCF) have funded more than $108 million globally for lifesaving research, education and medical services, with more than $86 million funding medical research grants through the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). Founded in 1993 by Evelyn H. Lauder, BCRF is dedicated to advancing the world’s most promising research. ELC’s commitment to breast cancer research, spanning three decades, has been transformative. In partnership with BCRF, The Campaign has helped fuel research across the entire spectrum of the disease—from tumor biology, lifestyle and genetics, survivorship, treatment, and metastasis—making an indelible mark in the diagnosis, care, and prevention of breast cancer. In addition, The Campaign supports more than 60 organizations worldwide, facilitating real change aligned to the diverse needs of local communities.


Deaths from breast cancer have declined 42% in the U.S. since the late 1980s.2 However, that progress has not been experienced equally and certain populations are at higher risk for adverse breast cancer outcomes. At every age, Black women in the U.S. are more likely to die from breast cancer than any other race or ethnic group, and mortality rates remain 41% higher than in white women, despite lower incidence.3 The Campaign has and continues to support BCRF-funded research that identifies and addresses disparities that exist across the entire breast cancer landscape. ELCCF’s $15 million donation over five years will fund a new BCRF research initiative to accelerate The Campaign’s goal of reducing breast cancer disparities and improving outcomes. This comprehensive study of the intersection of social determinants of health, comorbidities, and the biology of breast cancer in Black women has the potential to significantly impact breast cancer disparities globally. It will help advance personalized breast cancer health care across prevention, diagnosis, and treatment for those at most risk of dying from the disease, and has the potential to be groundbreaking for the global breast cancer community.


William P. Lauder, Executive Chairman of The Estée Lauder Companies Inc. shared, “The potential impact that this BCRF initiative will have in accelerating a crucial area of research cannot be overstated, as we collectively work towards a more equitable future for all. I know my mother, Evelyn Lauder, would be so proud of the advancements we have made through research, education, access to care and our commitment to help end breast cancer.”


In the past 30 years globally, The Campaign has:


Funded medical research and fellowships, as well as medical resources, services and centers, including access to mammograms and screenings for vulnerable groups with limited access to healthcare.


Advanced conversations on the importance of breast health education and early detection by facilitating discussions between the breast cancer community, medical experts and key opinion leaders.


Supported therapy and counseling programs to help improve the lives of people with breast cancer and their families.


Distributed educational materials and more than 180 million Pink Ribbons to spread awareness.


“The Estée Lauder Companies’ success is deeply rooted in living our shared values. Reflecting on the last 30 years, the incredible progress made by The Breast Cancer Campaign has had a lasting impact on our global community. As an authentic cornerstone of our commitments, The Campaign has been supported by our employees, consumers and partners worldwide. Today, it continues to inspire action in people everywhere. As a Beauty Inspired, Values Driven company, we look forward to the future and are committed to advancing positive change for all of those touched by this disease,” said Fabrizio Freda, President and Chief Executive Officer, The Estée Lauder Companies Inc.


The Campaign will take the following actions aligned to its mission for its 30th Anniversary:


Double-down on The Campaign’s efforts to reduce breast cancer disparities and improve health outcomes.


Mobilize ELC’s passionate employees to unite in action and support more than 60 organizations worldwide.


Show support through 18 of ELC’s brands: Estée Lauder, Clinique, Lab Series, Origins, La Mer, Bobbi Brown, Aveda, Jo Malone London, Bumble and bumble, Darphin Paris, TOM FORD BEAUTY, Smashbox, AERIN Beauty, Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle, GLAMGLOW, KILIAN PARIS, Too Faced, and Dr.Jart+. Each will donate to BCRF and/or local cancer-focused organizations around the world, with brand participation varying by market.


Convene breast cancer thought leaders and advocates to advance education and share important messages about the disease.


Drive additional donations to BCRF through ELCompanies.com/BreastCancerCampaign and various points of engagement.


Accelerate communications on social media including TikTok and various Meta platforms to foster awareness, fundraising and engagement, including new calls-to-action.


Unveil a new series of global stories demonstrating the diversity of the disease.


Continue The Campaign’s tradition of illuminating buildings, monuments and landmarks around the world in glowing pink lights to raise awareness of breast health, including the Empire State Building, New York City; the Eiffel Tower, Paris; LOTTE WORLD TOWER, Seoul.


Continue producing and distributing informative materials and Pink Ribbons worldwide.


As long as breast cancer remains a life-threatening disease, The Estée Lauder Companies’ commitment to the meaningful work that must continue will not waiver. It’s #TimeToEndBreastCancer.

UN-convened Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance to Convene High-level Forum on the Potential of Blended Finance

 GENEVA - Friday, 30. September 2022




(BUSINESS WIRE)--Don't miss this special online event by the UN-convened Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance and United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI), featuring Dr. Mahmoud Mohieldin, UN Climate Champion, Dr. Jörg Kukies, German Chancellery and Dr. Andrea Hauser, KfW.

Register for Scaling Blended Finance for Climate Solution Investment in Emerging Markets (5 Oct 2022 at 16.00 CEST) here.

Ahead of the International Monetary Fund/The World Bank AGM and COP27, this forum aims to elevate the topic of blended finance to decision-makers at the highest level, without whom progress is impossible. The agenda will include a keynote address by Selwin Hart, UN Special Adviser to the Secretary-General on Climate Action.

Panel discussion to include Marc-Andre Blanchard, Executive Vice-President and Global Head of Sustainability, Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), Magnus Billing, CEO, Alecta, Chris Clubb, Managing Director, Convergence Blended Finance, Nick O'Donohoe, CEO, British International Investment, and Günther Thallinger, Allianz SE Board Member and Chair, UN-convened Net-Zero Asset Owner Alliance. The panel will be moderated by Dr. Hubert Danso of Africa Investor.

The forum follows the release of a Call on Policymakers to facilitate the scaling of blended finance structures to fund climate solutions if the world is to achieve both the Paris climate goals and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Signed by UN Special Envoy for Climate Action and Finance Mark Carney and UN High-Level Climate Action Champion, Nigel Topping and supported by the Sustainable Markets Initiative and the Investor Leadership Network – the Alliance said blended finance structures would go a long way to mobilising the flow of climate capital towards emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs).

The potential of multilateral development banks (MDBs) and development finance institutions (DFIs) in mobilising private capital through blended finance is significant, given their experience and expertise, especially in EMDEs, coupled with their higher risk tolerance and their official development mandates.

The Alliance aims to contribute to the implementation of the highlighted solutions by collaborating with Convergence and by establishing a dialogue with the members of the Coalition of Finance Ministers for Climate Action. Massive mobilisation of capital into EMDEs will only be achieved if donors, development banks, and private-sector financiers all cooperate to bring about systemic change in how private capital is deployed in climate and SDGs finance.

Nexign’s Article Included in TM Forum’s Benchmark Report

 SAINT-PETERSBURG, Russia - Friday, 30. September 2022



(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nexign, a leading provider of BSS and digitalization solutions, announces that its article has been included in TM Forum’s benchmark report “Telco Revenue Growth: Taking It to the Next Level”. The report investigates the primary sectors and services affecting communications service providers (CSPs) and the areas of growth and decline. It draws on research collected from 33 of the world’s largest operators and serves as a source of valuable information about factors influencing successful telco-to-techco transformation.


 


 


Nexign’s article “Harnessing Traditional and New Revenue Streams on Track to Maturity: Harmonization of the BSS Core” discusses key challenges faced by modern CSPs while shifting beyond traditional communications and exploring vertical markets. The authors state that operators rolling out next-generation services have to manage multiple siloed systems, but this process is complicated and negatively affects customer billing experience. According to the article, CSPs can successfully tap into new revenue sources by implementing a holistic and synergetic BSS and ensuring a convergent user experience. They should increase flexibility at the core BSS layer by internalizing the Open Digital Architecture and 5G and providing network-agnostic convergence.


The article also discusses Nexign’s new cloud-native, microservices-based solution designed to help operators overcome these challenges and harmonize all revenue sources on a single convergent platform. Nexign Revenue Management lets CSPs get unlimited flexibility to capitalize on emerging monetization models and services beyond connectivity while balancing operational efficiency in the increasingly complex environment. It also covers the entire revenue management process and is ready to work with any telecom services, digital subscriptions, or third-party products and bundles.


TM Forum’s benchmark report was released during Digital Transformation World 2022, an annual international conference dedicated to the latest trends and achievements in the telecommunications industry.


A complete version of Nexign’s article “Harnessing Traditional and New Revenue Streams on Track to Maturity: Harmonization of the BSS Core” is available at the link.

It provides disposable products with "better taste, more puff, and higher consistency."


FEELM's single-use solutions are now sold in countries around the world, including in major economies like the United States, United Kingdom. SMOORE's interim financial report for 2022 showed that the revenue of disposable products in the first half of the year reached 319 million yuan, up 234.5 percent from the same period last year.
