Bombardier Honored with Aviation Week Network Laureate Award for Environmental Stewardship
The company is the only business jet manufacturer in the world to publicly disclose the environmental footprint of its entire in-production aircraft portfolio over their full life cycle
MONTREAL, March 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bombardier is proud to announce that it has been recognized as an Aviation Week Laureate Award winner for the publication of Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for all its in-production aircraft. This honor acknowledges its pioneering efforts in environmental disclosure within the aerospace industry. The initiative, a significant undertaking led by Bombardier's Aircraft Innovation team and involving multiple internal and external parties, aims to measure and communicate the environmental footprint of the company's aircraft over their full life cycle, and embodies its spirit of progress, innovation, and leadership.
With the publication of its latest EPD in 2024, Bombardier became the only business jet manufacturer in the world to publicly disclose the environmental footprint of its entire portfolio of in-production aircraft. The EPDs are public and accessible on the company's website.
'This initiative has set a precedent in our industry and shows how Bombardier is ahead of the curve in openly sharing the environmental information for all its aircraft,' said Sean Johnson, Vice President, Aircraft Innovation at Bombardier. 'The development of the scientific methodology behind the life cycle analysis conducted on the Bombardier Global 7500 program years ago is still regarded as an exemplar among our peers. The practice of humbly sharing our environmental data to collectively explore how to drive meaningful improvement should become the new standard.'
As a crucial component of Bombardier's extensive environmental strategy, the EPDs represent a significant step toward greater transparency. In addition to providing factual insights into optimizing the environmental performance of a product at every stage of its life cycle, the publication of EPDs is an act of accountability and offers valuable information to customers. This environmental expertise reinforces Bombardier's advocacy efforts for the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and is worthwhile for the company's long term EcoJet research project.
The 2025 Aviation Week Laureate Awards were celebrated on March 6, 2025, at the National Building Museum in Washington, DC.

CGTN: China and CELAC usher in new chapter of South-South cooperation
As China hosts the fourth ministerial meeting of the China-CELAC (Community of Latin American and Caribbean States) Forum in Beijing this Tuesday, CGTN publishes an article highlighting how China-CELAC cooperation is delivering tangible benefits to local communities. The article also underscores China's sincere commitment to working hand in hand with CELAC countries on five major projects and advancing together on their respective paths to modernization. BEIJING, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Located in San Salvador, the National Library of El Salvador – a China-aided mega project – has become a modern cultural landmark in the capital city since its inauguration in late 2023. Spanning 24,000 square meters, the library is open 24/7 and holds over 360,000 volumes. It serves multiple functions, including youth education, art exhibitions, cultural performances, and academic conferences. The library is among more than 200 infrastructure projects China has supported in Latin American and the Caribbean (LAC) countries in recent years, which Chinese President Xi Jinping noted during his address at the opening ceremony of the fourth ministerial meeting of the China-CELAC (Community of Latin American and Caribbean States) Forum in Beijing on Tuesday. Xi said those projects have helped create nearly one million local jobs. Fundamental pursuit to benefit people Noting that this year marks the 10th anniversary of the official launch of the China-CELAC Forum, Xi said he's pleased to see the China-CELAC Forum grow from a seedling to a tall tree. China and CELAC countries have built a community with a shared future, featuring equality and mutual benefits, upholding openness and inclusiveness, and aiming to bring tangible benefits for the people, Xi said. Since 2012, China has been LAC's second-largest trading partner and is now the top partner for Chile, Brazil, and Peru. It has signed free trade agreements with five LAC nations: Peru, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Nicaragua. As of 2024, bilateral trade reached $500 billion – a nearly 40-fold increase since 2000, according to Chinese Ambassador to Panama Xu Xueyuan. So far, 23 LAC countries have signed memorandum of understanding (MoU) on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) with China, Xu said. Notable BRI projects include the Chancay Port – South America's first smart and green port – and the Jamaica North-South Highway. Inaugurated in November 2024, Chancay Port has cut Pacific shipping time by nearly one-third, lowered logistics costs by 20 percent, and is expected to create over 8,000 direct jobs. Such tangible cooperation has received strong local support. A CGTN poll of 2,500 Latin Americans found that 80.4 percent viewed the BRI as beneficial to regional economic and social development. Since 1993, China has dispatched 38 medical teams to Caribbean nations, offering care and helping improve local medical capabilities. The same poll showed that 86.2 percent of respondents had a favorable impression of China. Solidarity and further cooperation At the gathering, Xi stressed the importance of Global South unity in face of rising unilateralism and protectionism. China and LAC countries are important members of the Global South, Xi said, adding that 'Independence and autonomy are our glorious traditions, development and rejuvenation are our natural rights, fairness and justice are our common pursuits.' Facing the undercurrents of geopolitics and camp confrontation, as well as the growing countercurrents of unilateralism and protectionism, China is willing to join hands with CELAC countries to launch the five major projects, seek common development and rejuvenation, Xi said. Detailing the major projects centering on solidarity, development, civilization, security and people-to-people exchanges, Xi called on China and Latin American and Caribbean countries to continue supporting each other on core interest issues and major concerns, maintain close exchanges in all fields, and jointly implement the China-proposed Global Development Initiative, Global Security Initiative and Global Civilization Initiative. Xi announced that China will provide CELAC countries with a credit fund of 66 billion yuan (around $9.2 billion) to support their development. Additionally, over the next three years, China will offer 3,500 government scholarships, 10,000 training opportunities, 500 international Chinese language teacher scholarships, and 300 training spots for poverty reduction technologies. China has decided to offer a visa-free policy to five countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, and will expand the policy to cover more regional countries in due course, said the Chinese president. China's recent modernization has boosted confidence in the region. A CGTN poll showed that 82.9 percent of respondents see China's development model as a valuable reference for LAC countries. Noting China has always been a good friend and partner of LAC countries, Xi called on China and LAC countries to join hands and move forward side by side on respective modernization journeys.

Bitget Launches Starlink Program to Bridge the Digital Divide in Philippine Island Communities
Bitget Launches Starlink Program to Bridge the Digital Divide in Philippine Island Communities Bitget Launches Starlink Program to Bridge the Digital Divide in Philippine Island Communities SIARGAO, Philippines, May 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bitget , the leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, has launched its Starlink Program , bringing high-speed satellite internet to remote islands in the Philippines in a bold move to tackle digital inequality. The initiative, which kicked off in Siargao's Espoir School of Life and Barangay Pitogo , addresses chronic connectivity gaps that have long hindered education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. By deploying Starlink's cutting-edge technology, Bitget aims to empower these communities with reliable internet access, laying the groundwork for future blockchain education and financial inclusion. For years, Siargao's residents have relied on fragile microwave radio connections, leaving them vulnerable to frequent outages, slow speeds, and exclusion from the digital economy. Schools like Espoir, which serves underprivileged children, struggle with offline-only learning, while villages like Barangay Pitogo face isolation due to unreliable communication networks. 'Without stable internet, entire communities are locked out of modern education, remote work, and even basic services like telemedicine. This isn't just about connectivity, it's about equity. Internet access shouldn't be a privilege, it's the foundation for everything from education to decentralized finance. We're building doors to the digital world one island at a time,' said Vugar Usi Zade, COO at Bitget. The program's first phase includes a Starlink hardware installation at Espoir School and Barangay Pitogo's public school. This will provide six months of high-speed satellite internet, enabling access to online curricula, teacher training, and e-governance tools. With this, Bitget plans to provide long-term support through $10M Blockchain 4 Youth and $10M Blockchain 4 Her initiatives, which will introduce blockchain literacy and digital finance skills to students and women-led cooperatives. The total investment of 155,400 Philippine pesos, which covers hardware, subscriptions, and logistics. A modest cost for transformative impact. Bitget's initiative shows a growing recognition in the crypto industry: Adoption starts with access. By addressing infrastructure barriers first, the exchange is creating a replicable model for other underserved regions. Future phases could expand to neighboring islands, leveraging partnerships with local NGOs and government units. The Starlink kits will go live in May, with Bitget documenting the rollout through impact reports and community stories. For Espoir's students, the change will be immediate: interactive lessons, global collaborations, and soon blockchain workshops. For Barangay Pitogo, it's a leap toward resilient communication during typhoon seasons. As Bitget scales this program, the message is clear: crypto's future isn't just about markets, it's about people. And sometimes, changing lives starts with something as simple as an internet signal.

Serving over 100 million users in 150+ countries and regions, the Bitget exchange is committed to helping users trade smarter with its pioneering copy trading feature and other trading solutions, while offering real-time access to Bitcoin price , Ethereum price , and other cryptocurrency prices.
