GoNetZero and Anvil Analytical Collaborate to Strengthen Carbon Tracking Across Global Supply Chains
The alliance will bring together GoNetZero's strength in operational emissions data with Anvil's expertise in supplier-level and spend-based carbon analysis, which offers businesses a fuller view of their emissions profile across the value chain.
"Many of our clients are looking for a single, seamless view of their emissions – across Scope 1, 2 and 3. This partnership delivers exactly that," said Soon Sze Meng, CEO at GoNetZero. "By combining GoNetZero's deep capabilities in measuring operational emissions data with Anvil's supplier-level insights, we can offer businesses the clarity and confidence they need to meet rising sustainability expectations, at scale."
While Scope 3 emissions remain a complex and evolving challenge, this partnership helps address it from both ends – bringing together operational data and procurement-linked estimates and supporting more robust sustainability reporting and supply chain action. The collaboration will support organisations at various stages of their carbon journey, from establishing baselines to enhancing supplier-level visibility.
"Scope 3 is often the most difficult piece of the puzzle, but it doesn't have to stay that way," said Steve Harrison, CEO at Anvil Analytical. "This partnership with GoNetZero helps turn unknowns into baselines and estimates into strategy. We're excited to work with a partner whose mission so closely aligns with ours: making data-driven sustainability accessible, practical, and scalable."
With regulatory demands tightening and stakeholder scrutiny increasing, the ability to align emissions insights, even without full interoperability, offers a meaningful step forward. This collaboration will allow GoNetZero and Anvil to help companies move from fragmented data to better-informed climate decisions. As the carbon management business of Singapore-listed Sembcorp Industries, GoNetZero empowers organisations worldwide to achieve their decarbonisation goals through its digital solutions and verified environmental attributes.

Hyundai's Chung family honored for shaping global auto industry
Chung Euisun to receive Automotive News Centennial Award in Detroit in September Current and former leaders of Hyundai Motor Group have been recognized for their monumental contributions to the global automotive industry, the Korean auto conglomerate said Monday. According to Hyundai Motor, Executive Chair Chung Euisun, Honorary Chairman Chung Mong-koo and late founding chairman Chung Ju-yung were selected as recipients of the Automotive News Centennial Award, an accolade to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the US-based media outlet specializing in the automotive industry. Automotive News tapped the current and former leaders of Hyundai Motor as key individuals who advanced mobility through the conglomerate's three brands: Hyundai Motor Company, Kia and Genesis. It noted the company has achieved significant success across the world, most recently under Executive Chair Chung, who took the top leadership position in October 2020 and built on the legacy of his father, Chung Mong-koo, and his grandfather, Chung Ju-yung. 'I have always believed that innovation must serve humanity, and that progress is only meaningful when it improves people's lives,' said Executive Chair Chung. 'This recognition reflects the input and trust from our employees, partners and customers who inspire us to think boldly and push the boundaries of what's possible. We remain committed to creating innovative, customer-focused and more sustainable solutions that enrich lives and drive progress for people and the planet.' Since 2022, Hyundai Motor and Kia have won 12 World Car Awards, including four consecutive world car of the year trophies with the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Ioniq 6 and Kia EV9 and EV3. The auto conglomerate has been bolstering investment in electric transformation, hydrogen fuel cell technology, software-defined vehicles, robotics, autonomous driving and advanced air mobility as it aims to lead the global mobility sector. Automotive News recognized the impact of Hyundai Motor's former leaders, noting that their vision and leadership turned Korea into an automotive powerhouse as the carmaker propelled the country's economic development. "For three generations, the Chung family has shaped the global automotive industry through vision, innovation and an unwavering commitment to excellence,' said KC Crain, publisher of Automotive News. 'Under Executive Chair Euisun Chung's leadership, Hyundai Motor Group has honored that legacy while transforming into a global powerhouse — leading in sales, technology, quality and style, and earning deep customer loyalty along the way.' Executive Chair Chung credited his grandfather's focus on people for influencing the belief that customers shape the future and the automaker's customer-first approach. He also mentioned his father as a leader who relentlessly sought global opportunities with great commitment to improving the quality and safety of cars. The Hyundai Motor tycoon is scheduled to attend the Automotive News Congress in Detroit on Sept. 11 this year, as he will receive the centennial award and participate in a keynote discussion.

HMM shares soar on W2tr share buyback plan
Shares of HMM, South Korea's top container carrier, sharply rose on Monday, following its announcement of a roughly 2 trillion won ($1.45 billion) share buyback and cancellation plan. As of 1 p.m., the Kospi-listed company was trading at 23,750 won, up 7.47 percent from the previous session, according to the Korea Exchange. The stock had risen as high as 24,500 won earlier in the session. On Thursday, which was the previous trading day, HMM announced that it would repurchase and cancel 81.8 million of its shares to boost shareholder value, allocating 2.14 trillion won for the scheme. The offer price represents a premium of roughly 19 percent over the previous session's closing price of 22,100 won. The tender offer runs until Sept. 12. The share buyback plan comes amid the push to sell the company with a market capitalization of 24.5 trillion won. Following a liquidity crisis in 2016, HMM has been under the control of state-run entities. The Korea Development Bank and the Korea Ocean Business Corp. currently hold 36 percent and 35.7 percent of the company's shares, respectively. By reducing the number of outstanding shares through the treasury cancellation scheme, HMM can decrease the volume that future acquisition candidates would need to take on, easing the burden of a potential sale. Meanwhile, despite the large-scale shareholder return scheme, analysts remain cautious on the stock's outlook. "Following the buyback plan, a decline in share price is inevitable as the stock lacks upward momentum," Hana Securities analyst Ahn Do-hyun said.

From BTS glory to boardroom battles: Bang Si-hyuk under siege
K-pop mogul faces rare multiagency probe as Seoul intensifies war on stock manipulation Hybe founder and Chair Bang Si-hyuk, once celebrated as the trailblazer of the K-pop industry with the unprecedented success of BTS, now finds himself under intense legal scrutiny, putting Hybe's roughly 12 trillion won ($8.65 billion) market valuation to the test. According to the allegations, Bang deliberately misled investors in 2019 by suggesting that the public listing of Hybe — then Big Hit Entertainment — would be unlikely, while the company was preparing to go public as planned in the back. He is accused of unfair trading, pocketing roughly half of the 400 billion won generated in proceeds. Bang, who had remained mostly silent throughout the process, sent an official statement to Hybe employees earlier this month, shortly before returning to Korea from the US on Aug. 11. 'Having already provided a detailed explanation regarding the circumstances behind the listing during the previous probe carried out by the financial regulators, I will continue to explain the matter once again in full,' the statement read. 'I expect that this process will help clarify the facts, and I will humbly await the authorities' decision.' Critical charges As President Lee Jae Myung pushes his 'one-strike' policy in a declared war against stock manipulation, Bang has emerged as a prime example of its enforcement, with authorities competing to take the lead in pressuring him. On July 16, the Financial Supervisory Commission, the nation's top financial regulator, referred the case to prosecutors — the strongest measure the agency can take. Meanwhile, police have intensified their crackdown, raiding the agency's headquarters as well as the Korea Exchange. The National Tax Service has also launched a sweeping probe into Hybe, deploying its special bureau that handles large-scale tax evasion cases. Industry officials note that it is highly unusual for all major state investigative bodies — including the police, financial regulators, prosecutors and the NTS — to simultaneously target a single company, highlighting the extraordinary scope of the investigation. Uneasy shareholders Though still at an early stage, the criminal charges against Bang could trigger upheaval in Hybe's shareholder structure. In recent years, major investors have steadily pared back their holdings in the K-pop powerhouse amid a series of public setbacks, including its feud with former Ador CEO and producer Min Hee-jin. Bang is the largest shareholder of the Kospi-listed company, holding a 31.57 percent stake, followed by game developer Netmarble at 9.44 percent, the National Pension Service at 7.8 percent and crypto exchange operator Dunamu at 5.53 percent. Although the NPS remains one of Hybe's largest shareholders, it had trimmed its stake by more than 1 percentage point in June 2024. A month earlier, Netmarble offloaded Hybe shares amounting to 2.6 percentage points. While the game developer explained the sale as a move to secure liquidity and offset operating losses, industry watchers pointed instead to escalated volatility in Hybe's valuation, challenged by its dispute with Min. Dunamu, operator of the country's largest cryptocurrency exchange Upbit, faces headwinds in its partnership with Hybe as well. While Dunamu and Hybe made reciprocal equity investments in 2021 to collaborate on a non-fungible token business, recent developments have raised concerns about a potential rift in the alliance. Levvels, a joint venture between the two entities, shut down its signature service Momentica in July, citing losses. 'We issued NFTs using Hybe's intellectual property, but the craze has cooled, slowing the business down. Levvels is starting over from scratch,' Lee Sirgoo, CEO of Dunamu, said at the shareholders' meeting held at the end of March, signaling a new direction for the business, which could potentially leave Hybe out of the picture. Both Dunamu and NPS declined to comment on their stakes in Hybe. Hybe locked in value trap Hybe's market valuation has been on a roller coaster ride. After climbing to a 52-week high of 323,000 won during intraday trading on July 2, its shares began to tumble as concerns over risks involving Bang rose to the surface. Fears of a potential delisting sent the stock plunging about 24 percent in a month to 246,000 won on July 30. The massive sell-off, however, soon eased. After touching the dip, the stock quickly rebounded to above 250,000 won in the following days, making a partial recovery to 283,500 won as of Friday's closing. Still, the stock price remains well below its initial trading performance. On the first day of the market debut, Hybe's shares soared to as high as 351,000 won. With the current price unable to reach even the debut price of 270,000 won, concerns over potential undervaluation persist. Despite the hiccups, local stock analysts are maintaining a 'buy' call, citing the company's long-term growth potential, including the expected return of BTS, growth of its girl group Katseye and planned expansion into the Latin American market. Hybe posted consolidated revenue of 705.6 billion won between April and July, up 10.2 percent from the same period last year, while its operating profit rose 29 percent to 65.9 billion won, surpassing market forecasts. 'Although Bang faces criminal allegations, they pertain to him personally rather than his role as Hybe's CEO, which helps limit the impact on the company,' an analyst from a local brokerage firm said.
