KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 25 -- The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) has reached its 2020 goal of purchasing 100 per cent renewable electricity in the United States (US) and Canada, exceeding its original goal by extending the purchase to Western Europe.
These three are among its largest markets, representing over 70 per cent of P&G’s purchased electricity, according to a statement.
The commitment was achieved ahead of schedule, signifying a strong start to reaching P&G’s goal of purchasing 100 per cent renewable electricity globally by 2030.
“Our primary goal is, and will continue to be, to deliver the superior products our consumers can trust, with the reassurance that behind each P&G product is a supply chain committed to environmental responsibility,” said P&G chief sustainability officer, Virginie Helias.
The company’s largest individual contributors to its renewable energy production include its wind farm in Tyler Bluff, Texas, which offsets 100 per cent of the electricity needed for Fabric and Home Care facilities in the US and Canada.
Building on its legacy of environmental leadership, P&G has already achieved many of its 2020 sustainability goals for energy, water and waste, making measurable progress that can be seen across brands and geographies.
P&G expects that by executing new projects, while also continuing to purchase electricity from renewable sources, it can spur further innovation, investment and a transition to renewable energy for the regional utilities that provide energy to its nearly 150 sites globally.

Financial Times recognises HKBU as world´s top 100 for second year running
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 29 -- The School of Business of Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU) has won a world top 100 ranking for its Master of Science in Business Management (MScBM) programme in the Financial Times Masters in Management (MiM) ranking.
The second year running achievement was after a successful debut in the MiM ranking last year, whereby in this year’s ranking, the great majority of respondents agreed that the HKBU MScBM programme helped them achieve their goals.
The programme also ranked in the top 30 globally for alumni’s career progress and percentage salary increase in the first three years after graduation.
“We are continually developing our programme to provide our students with world-class education that prepares them to excel on their chosen path,” said HKBU School of Business dean, Prof Ed Snape.
The Financial Times Masters in Management 2019 ranking is based on survey responses from the class of 2016 alumni along with school data. The ranking is based on a broad set of criteria including alumni career progression, school diversity, international experience and research.
Among the criteria, the HKBU School of Business was ranked highly for school diversity, with the fourth highest proportion of female students (70 per cent) and placed in the top 20 in percentage of female faculty (45 per cent) among all schools globally.

TELEDYNE PHOTOMETRICS ANNOUNCES NEW SCMOS CAMERA FOR SCIENTIFIC IMAGING - 400 FPS AND 10 MP RESOLUTION
New Kinetix sCMOS platform delivers an unmatched combination of speed, sensitivity, and field of view for scientific imaging
TUCSON, Ariz., Oct 23 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Teledyne Photometrics, a Teledyne Technologies [NSYE:TDY] company and global leader in scientific imaging, announces the release of its Kinetix sCMOS camera which delivers an unmatched combination of speed, sensitivity, field of view, and resolution.
The Kinetix is an all-new camera platform that builds on the success of the industry-defining Prime 95B and Prime BSI back-illuminated sCMOS cameras and redefines expectations of sCMOS camera speeds.
Designed for the most demanding and highest-speed scientific imaging techniques, the Kinetix ensures that extremely dynamic events are captured by acquiring over 400 frames per second. The near perfect 95% quantum efficiency coupled with Correlated Multi-Sampling (CMS) maximizes the amount of light captured, even at the dimmest levels, and the 10-megapixel sensor provides high-resolution imaging over a huge imaging area by leveraging 6.5 µm pixels that span an almost 30 millimeter field of view.
Key features:
· >400 frames per second, full-frame
· 10 megapixel resolution, 29 mm field of view
· 3200 x 3200 pixels, 6.5 x 6.5 µm pixel area
· >95% peak QE, Correlated Multi-Sampling (CMS)
“The Kinetix redefines expectations for scientific cameras. While the super-low noise and back-illumination help when there isn’t much light, the unmatched speed of the camera truly opens up possibilities for new discoveries,” said Rachit Mohindra, Senior Product Manager at Teledyne Photometrics. “Scientists have continuously requested faster pixel readout rates for cameras, and the Kinetix definitely delivers speed.”
For more information about the Kinetix sCMOS camera, please visit the Teledyne Photometrics website.

Lithium Werks prioritises watertight safety in marine technology
KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 17 -- Serving the marine sector for over a decade, Lithium Werks has seen the market transition from small lithium batteries in racing yachts to large battery systems in ferries and work vessels.
Lithium Werks does not use nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) as a battery technology but instead, sells safer lithium iron phosphate (LFP) technology.
NMC is much more prone to extreme events such as thermal runaway than Lithium Werks’ LFP chemistry.
Additionally, Lithium Werks’ modules use smaller cylindrical cells, making the energy released is minimal compared to the large format NMC cells. This further increases the safety of its battery system.
Lithium Werks has spent over 20 years perfecting its LFP chemistry to now provide the perfect combination of inherent safety, power and energy density, along with class-leading lifetime in a modular, scalable package that does not require complex cooling systems.
