[Better Life Story] LG Is Going Green, Inside And Out

Being an environmentally conscious company means looking deep into all business processes and putting the utmost effort into transforming, both externally and internally, from the supply chain to the organizational culture.

In other words, LG aims to be an environmentally sustainable business, calling for specific and tangible actions with the three environmental ESG initiatives outlined in its BETTER LIFE PLAN 2030.

The initiatives mark a paradigm shift towards adopting tangible, specific and measurable actions for a better, cleaner and greener environment. Part two of the Better Life story series, this article looks at the environmental action plans LG has established and the goals it is working hard to achieve.

According to research, the average temperature on Earth has risen by approximately 1.2 degrees Celsius (2.2 degrees Fahrenheit) since pre-industrial times. Responding to the urgency of climate change, LG remains steadfastly committed to attaining carbon neutrality, and to converting entirely to renewable energy in the long term. Its dedication to both goals can already be seen in the energy-efficient technologies applied at LG Smart Park in Changwon, South Korea.

Exercising immediate change for its carbon initiative, LG is converting to more efficient operational processes and applying energy-efficient technologies across all of its production plants. LG Smart Park, the company’s revolutionary production facility, deploys next-generation manufacturing innovations to simultaneously achieve higher production efficiency and enhanced sustainability.

The manufacturing hub has increased productivity by 20 percent and reduced the cost of defective-product returns by 80 percent. Moreover, LG Smart Park has reduced greenhouse gas emissions and boosted energy efficiency per unit by 30 percent compared to the previous factory.

LG is looking to change the status quo of end-of-lifecycle management by using eco-friendly materials, streamlining manufacturing processes and turning discarded materials into ‘new’ resources, with the aim of creating a circular economy.

The reducing, recovering, recycling and reusing of materials are all very important in a circular economy. LG operates a free e-waste retrieval service in 52 countries and aims to collect an accumulated total of over eight million tons of used appliances from 2006 to 2030. As for recycling, LG is improving its existing processes to achieve a higher recycling rate, with the end goal of hitting 95 percent by 2030.

As part of this, the company’s Chilseo Recycling Center (CRC) situated in Hamyang, South Korea, plans to replace the compressor and old equipment by the latter half of the year. Furthermore, LG recently invited its employees to come together in the collective journey towards circularity by using fewer disposable paper cups at work.

A global leader in consumer electronics, LG is dedicated to helping consumers realize a more sustainable lifestyle. This is why the company is applying eco-friendly technologies to all newly developed products, contributing to a smaller carbon footprint and resource recirculation.

By 2030, LG plans to have reduced total carbon emissions from the product-usage stage by 20 percent. It also projects that, from 2021 to 2030, it will have used an accumulated total of six hundred thousand tons of recycled plastics in the production of new home appliances. In the future, the company will be able to offer products that are even more energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable than its current crop of models, helping consumers to reduce their monthly energy bills, achieve a more sustainable household and enjoy the best version of the Better Life LG aims to provide.

For more on how LG is embracing inclusivity, sustainability and diversity in all that it does, stay tuned for the third and final Better Life story, coming soon to Beyond News.

Telcos’ Unending Fight With Banks Over N80bn USSD Debt

Telcos’ Unending Fight With Banks Over N80bn USSD Debt

The telcos have accused the banks of not complying with the repayment plan, stressing that the debt has increased to $80 billion.

The Chairman, Association of Licensed Telecommunications Operators of Nigeria (ALTON), Gbenga Adebayo, who revealed this, yesterday, threatened that if the banks failed to honour the agreement, his members would have no other choice but to withdraw the services.

USSD, commonly known as ‘bank transfers’, is done through short codes on mobile phones.

When the matter brewed heavily last year, the National Assembly, Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, and the Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, waded in and generated a gentleman’s agreement, which gave the banks leverage to defray the debts gradually.

However, Adebayo has just revealed that the banks reneged and allowed the debt to rise.

The USSD saga between the banks and telcos has lingered since 2020, rising from below N40 billion in 2020 to N57 billion by the end of 2021.

Now it has risen to over N80 billion.

According to ALTON, the only way to recover the debt would be to withdraw the support that gives the USSD platform life.

What this means is that all short code services will be suspended and users will not be able to carry out some online banking services from the comfort of their homes.

USSD volume

The Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System, NIBSS, recently revealed on its website that USSD is responsible for 35 per cent of transactions that pushed value of mobile transactions to N11.10 trillion in the first eight months of 2022.

Speaking at Nigerian ICT Reporters Association, NITRA ICT, Growth Conference 2.0 “Creating A Digital Ecosystem in Nigeria: The hurdles, The gains”, Adebayo said while some banks have responded and are making payments, others have remained unconcerned and so, the only option is to disconnect their services.

He said telecommunications operators may decentralise the USSD services on historical USSD debt.

“When the matter first came to the fore about a year and half ago, the debt was below N40 billion.

“But because they refused to comply and pay as and when due, the debt continued to rise. Today, it is about N80 billion,” he added.

Multiple taxes

He also lamented the spate of multiple taxes levied on operators by some states, adding that the challenge has become a major headache to the industry.

Adebayo said the taxes and levies were over 40, multiplied and duplicated among states and the federal government.

Adebayo noted that the regime of national tariff should be over by the way things are going, and operators may soon introduce discriminatory charges on subscribers, particularly in those areas that are not telecom-friendly.

He said: “I don’t see why hostile states should not be treated same way they are treating operators.

“States that are friendly will be treated same. Plans are on to introduce discriminatory prices, especially those states which see telcos as cash cows,” he added.

Binance Boosts Its Global Law Enforcement Training Program To Meet Growing Demand

Binance  the global blockchain ecosystem behind the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, today formally announced its Global Law Enforcement Training Program which has grown exponentially since the expansion of the investigations team in the last year.

The program—the industry’s first coordinated effort across the globe—was created by Binance to help law enforcement and prosecutors detect financial and cybercrimes and to assist in the prosecution of bad actors.

“As more regulators, public law enforcement agencies and private sector stakeholders look closely at crypto, we are seeing an increased demand for training to help educate on and combat crypto crimes,” said Tigran Gambaryan, Global Head of Intelligence and Investigations at Binance. “To meet that demand, we have bolstered our team to conduct more training and work hand-in-hand with regulators across the globe.”

Over the past year, the Binance Investigations team has conducted and participated in more than 30 anti-cyber and financial crimes workshops with law enforcement in various countries including Argentina, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Israel, Netherlands, Philippines, Sweden, South Korea, the UK among others.

The training program is led by leaders from the Binance Investigations team made up of security experts and former law enforcement agents, including world-renowned experts having helped take down some of the world’s largest crypto criminal platforms, including Silkroad and Hydra.

The full day training program includes in-person workshops on the concepts of blockchain and crypto assets. The curriculum also includes insight on the evolving legal and regulatory environment. Binance’s anti-money laundering (AML) policies and the investigative methods developed by the company to detect and prevent potential frauds are also discussed in detail.

As a result of its robust compliance and AML programs, Binance recently secured approvals and registration in France, Italy and Spain, among others, making the exchange one of the few crypto companies to accomplish this within G7 countries.

“Protecting users is our number one priority at Binance. We work hand-in-hand with law enforcement to track and trace suspected accounts and fraudulent activities, contributing to the fight against terrorism financing, ransomware, human trafficking, child pornography and financial crimes,” said Gambaryan, a former special agent (https://bit.ly/3Cmd7oP) of the Internal Revenue Service—Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) Cyber Crimes Unit.

Since November 2021, the Binance Investigations team has responded to more than 27,000 law enforcement requests with an average of three days response time which is faster than any traditional financial institution. “Binance is known among law enforcement to have a fast response system, unmatched by any traditional financial institution,” said Gambaryan.

Celebrate Nigeria With Yummy Delicacies On Bolt Food!

When one thinks about what connects society and makes people proud, a few things come to mind. They include language, religion, value systems, social organization, customs, and traditions, among others.  But one important element which identifies a people and connects generations to generations is often omitted – food!

 

Food is the linchpin of society, and it embodies the rich history and culture of a people. It not only creates a connection amongst individuals in ways other elements of culture cannot, but it supersedes its role and stands to define culture itself sometimes.

 

How better connected can one be with their ancestors than eating the same food they did, using the same recipes, and making the same mistakes in the kitchen? Many memories pass by of hours spent of children watching their parents prepare food whilst sharing their own experiences with their parents.

 

For many people, watching what they eat and how they eat provides a lot more information about who they are than any survey or interview can. There is this strong belief that traditional foods taste so much better when eaten with hand than with cutleries. How can one explain that without knowledge of the culture?

 

More than that, though, food binds Nigerians together in more ways than can be imagined. People share many laughs and sorrows around the tabletops than they do anywhere else. Stop taking food, especially local delicacies, for granted and appreciate the stories it tells of traditional and culturally rich people.

 

The Bolt Food app is rich with top food vendors making tasty and yummy delicacies. To help Nigerians ‘chop better’, Bolt Food is offering a simple way for you to reconnect with culture through food. Between the 30th of September and the 01st of October, Bolt Food is offering a 40% discount on two orders.

Mr. Imudia joined the firm in 2018 with the acquisition of the e-commerce giant from previous majority owners, South African-headquartered Naspers and Swedish-based AB Kinnevik. The cerebral Imudia is understood to have played a significant role in the transformation of Konga into arguably Nigeria’s most trusted e-commerce brand and the first in Africa to achieve profitability, despite being on the verge of exiting the market at the time of acquisition.

Before joining Konga as strategic partner and Co-CEO, he was the Regional Director of TCL/Alcatel for two years. Imudia was also the Managing Director of Nokia West where he served in various capacities for over 17 years. A man with a global presence, he has lived in USA, Finland and Singapore where he was celebrated for his expertise in capability development, operational excellence, systems analysis and process management, among others

Prince Ekeh is now expected to lead Konga with new restructured Executive Management team of tested first class professionals into the next phase of its expansion. Konga is expected to make in-roads into other African markets after achieving a measure of industry relevance, acceptance and market leadership in Nigeria.

An Economics graduate and fintech guru, Prince Ekeh has acquired huge experience belying his age. His business management skills and keen understanding of retail have equally contributed to driving Konga to the zenith of the e-Commerce sector in Nigeria. A multiple award winner, Prince Ekeh pioneered the first composite e-commerce company in Africa and launched the first drone delivery in the e-commerce world, as well as the first Online/Offline technology-driven edition of the globally renowned Black Friday edition in Africa.

Konga has earned corporate respect as an innovative and ethical e-commerce group widely trusted by millions of Nigerians.
