• Mass Data Security Breach – Now is The Time to Destroy Your Hard Drives - In the past two years, there have been several high-profile security breaches that have affected thousands of people. You’ve probably heard about the Equifax breach that occurred in September 2017 and may even be aware of the Yahoo breaches that occurred in 2013 and 2014. In addition to these, there are others as well. It's a disaster. The credit reporting agency announced that it was hacked in July, and potentially 143 million people have had their personal information stolen. The hackers got their hands on names, social security numbers, birth dates, addresses–the whole nine yards. And they're selling it! A massive data security breach has resulted in the personal information of over 145 million Americans being compromised. If you're a small business owner, this news could feel like a personal attack on your company. With global data security breaches becoming more common, there's no doubt that even small businesses need to be on high alert. Online data security is an area that is always in flux. New hacks are announced every day, and hundreds of websites get hacked every year. We are living in a period of unprecedented data security breaches, and the risks are only expanding. So what can you do to protect your business? In this article, we offer 5 hard drive destruction methods that will help you stay ahead of hackers. 1. Degaussing If you no longer use your hard drives, you'll be able to modify them. This involves using a strong device referred to as a degausser. The device uses a powerful magnetic attraction to scramble the hard drive platter. This way, it can not be used or scanned by anyone. Since data is stored using magnetic principles, demagnetisation simply alters the magnetic direction of the drive. 2. Shredding Hard drive shredding is one of the most functional ways to destroy a hard drive. It involves running the drive through a machine known as a shredder, which cuts it into small bits. Since hard drives store data on a platter, cutting it into tiny pieces renders the drive and any data on ithat useless. Some shredders additionally compress the shredded material into compact forms for disposal. 3. Melting Melting hard drives involves dipping them in acid to demolish their platters and housing. Though this is one of the foremost effective hard drive destruction techniques, it is also one of the most dangerous ways. This is because the procedure involves using hydrochloric and nitric acids. Both acids are murderous to the environment. This involves human skin, so you must be careful with the appropriate protective gear. Generally, this process is not acceptable. 4. Disintegration Organizations wanting to destroy highly classified data, sometimes select disintegration as one of their preferred hard drive destruction techniques. The method is carried out using a disintegrator– a machine with a carrier system and knife that slices hard drives into smaller particles. Malicious actors won’t be able to access the drives or data on them as a result of the disintegrated things can’t be reassembled. 5. Drilling Putting holes in a hard drive destroys its platter and makes sure that no-one can use the data on it. It is also one of the better ways to go about the hard drive demolition process because you don’t need to use any complicated machines. Things to Keep in Mind When Demolishing Hard Drives Selecting a way of data destruction isn't a choice that ought to be taken gently. Depending on the business, bound ways that of destroying data could also be preferable due to effectiveness, cost, and different factors.

• eCom Scotland’s advice to those wanting to do business with post-Trump USA - Wendy Edie, the Managing Director of the digital learning and assessment specialist eCom Scotland, is joining some of Scotland’s top business leaders to discuss how to be successful at doing business with customers in the United States of America. Wendy is speaking during a virtual event organised by the Scottish North American Business Council (SNABC), which is a Chapter within the wider British American Business Council. The event is scheduled from 2pm to 5.30pm on 11th February. According to the organisers, significant opportunities exist for Scottish firms to do business in the USA across a range of key sectors, including life sciences, electronics, technology, financial services, food and drink. Currently, the USA is Scotland's top international trading partner, accounting for some 17.1% of its exports, worth £5.5bn. The event will focus on aspects of trading with the USA including how to identify routes to market; financing the trade and getting paid; legal aspects of trading in the USA, and protecting intellectual property in the USA. It will also discuss cultural issues to consider when expanding into the USA and how remote working in a Covid19 world can help companies make vital connections. “eCom Scotland has experience of the USA market through its subsidiary, eCom USA,” said Wendy. “Being a small to medium sized business, we’ve found that it’s important to find the right location in the USA from which to target business growth. “In our experience, the USA's size - embracing four time zones across 50 states - and vast cultural differences across regions means it must be treated as a series of regional markets, with different characteristics and business practices,” she added. “Hopefully, my fellow speakers and I can offer some practical tips and guidance to help others to set up, grow and develop their business.” The SNABC’s Executive Director, Allan Hogarth, said, “We look forward to engaging with President Biden’s new administration.

• Ascott exceeds 2019 record growth to add over 14,200 units globally in 2020 despite COVID-19 - CapitaLand’s wholly owned lodging business unit, The Ascott Limited (Ascott) has added a record of over 14,200 units across 71 properties globally for 2020. Despite COVID-19, this exceeds the number of units secured in 2019, marking a fourth consecutive year of record growth for Ascott. In China, Ascott has also achieved an 80% year-on-year growth in units compared to 2019 . The new properties secured will boost Ascott’s annual fee income by over S$27 million as they progressively open and stabilise. Since October 2020, Ascott added more than 4,900 units across 23 properties. This includes over 3,800 units across 17 properties in China. Ascott will make its first foray into the city of Yangzhou while expanding in other cities such as Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Wuhan. Among the newly secured properties are two rental housing properties in Shanghai and Hangzhou, marking Ascott’s increased presence in China’s high growth rental housing sector. As China continues to urbanise, an estimated 252 million tenants will make up a RMB3 trillion rental market by 2025 . Outside of China, Ascott has sealed contracts for over 1,000 new units across 6 properties. They are in markets such as Doha, Qatar; Manila, Philippines; Singapore; Sydney, Australia; as well as Binh Duong and Danang in Vietnam where Ascott will introduce its first lyf coliving property and first Citadines Connect business hotel in the country. Mr Kevin Goh, CapitaLand’s Chief Executive Officer for Lodging and Ascott’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “COVID-19 has validated the resilience of Ascott’s business model as property owners continue to sign new management and franchise contracts with us, allowing us to achieve our fourth consecutive year of record growth in 2020. Through these new contracts, we continue to build our future recurring fee income stream. In 2021, over 80 properties with about 17,000 units are slated to open across the world. This includes over 70 properties with more than 15,000 units in Asia Pacific which is expected to lead the global economic recovery. We will continue to look for opportunities to expand our presence through management contracts, franchises, strategic alliances, and stand ready to seize good investment opportunities.” Mr Goh added: “While we were not spared the short-term operational impact of COVID-19, we believe that the fundamental demand for lodging remains intact and will bounce back quickly once the global pandemic is brought under control. In the meantime, we continue to seek new opportunities amid the crisis. We have capitalised on Ascott’s well-designed and spacious serviced apartments to tap on domestic demand while pursuing new businesses. Ascott’s new businesses such as the ‘Work in Residence’ and ‘Space-as-a-Service’ initiatives have generated more than S$91 million in 2020. With the global roll out of vaccines and testing protocols to facilitate the gradual resumption of international travel, Ascott will emerge stronger and deliver greater value for our partners and guests.” Mr Tan Tze Shang, Ascott’s Managing Director for China and Head of Business Development for China, said: “Ascott’s business in China continues to lead our global expansion. We have achieved record growth in new units and about half of the properties opened globally are in China. In key cities, our properties such as Ascott Heng Shan Shanghai, Ascott Aden Shenzhen, Ascott IFC Guangzhou, and Raffles City Residence Beijing, have strong average occupancy rate of over 90%3. In 2021, we are slated to open three lyf coliving properties in Hangzhou, Shanghai and Xi’an to cater to the fast-expanding demographic of millennial and millennial-minded customers. The first of our three rental housing properties in China is also slated to open in Hangzhou in 3Q 2021. These new lodging options will enable Ascott to expand our customer reach and product offerings to business partners in China.” Mr Tan added: “Ascott’s expansion into the rental housing segment taps on the growing demand from young, mobile workers as well as returning students from abroad who are looking to rent quality fully furnished homes in the tier one and tier two cities on a long-term basis in China. We have also infused new technologies into the more traditional rental housing sector by enabling our guests to pay rent and utilities, submit requests and book facilities digitally to increase guest satisfaction and improve operational efficiency.” In 2020, Ascott opened 25 new properties adding over 3,900 units to its global inventory. This includes the opening of 10 properties with more than 1,800 units in China. In the last quarter of 2020, new properties were opened in Australia, China and Thailand. The new properties include Quest Ballarat Station, Quest Preston and Quest Wangaratta in Australia; as well as Citadines Yunlong Lake Xuzhou and Tujia Somerset Yunlong Lake Xuzhou in China. Please see Annex A for highlights of some of the newly signed properties and Annex B for highlights of some of the new properties opened in 2020. Leveraging digital capabilities to support Ascott’s growth Amidst the COVID-19 situation, Ascott continued to leverage and upgrade its digital capabilities to support Ascott’s growth, enhance its guests’ experience and ensure their safety. Ascott completed the migration of its customer relationship management and property management systems to a cloud enterprise solution. The move enables Ascott to increase operational efficiency and further enhance guest experience across its properties worldwide. The check-in process is shortened, and the creation of an automated workflow management system allows efficient tracking and management of operations such as housekeeping services in real-time. A new data analytics platform was also introduced to provide greater value for Ascott’s corporate clients. Ascott’s service robot, Aria will be deployed to selected properties in Singapore in 2021. Aria is one of the contactless technologies that Ascott has introduced to its properties in China. Guests can call upon Aria to perform a suite of tasks such as concierge services, leading guests to the rooms or facilities, delivering clean laundry and packages, and refilling room supplies. Aria is also able to interface independently with the property’s vending machine to bring guests their ordered items via a mobile app. To minimise physical contact and reduce check-in time, Ascott has installed self check-in kiosk with facial recognition technology in selected properties in China and Singapore. In Singapore, Ascott has worked with Singapore Tourism Board to install an E-Visitor Authentication system at Ascott Orchard Singapore where guests can scan their passports at the kiosk and their data will be sent to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority to verify the validity of their stay, providing seamless check-in. In addition, Ascott has launched an automated room key card verification system which enables guests in China to simply tap their room key cards on the card reader installed in the property’s breakfast lounge and head straight for their breakfast without the need for its staff to verify the guests’ breakfast entitlements manually. Ascott’s loyalty programme Ascott Star Rewards (ASR) tapped on numerous digital initiatives to support the company’s expansion, increasing ASR members by 45% over 2019. The new Discover ASR mobile app is a one-stop 24/7 digital concierge, providing greater value and flexibility for ASR members to enhance their experience with Ascott. Through the app, ASR members can search for special deals and book their stay at about 200 participating properties in over 25 countries and more than 85 cities. Guests can also access their apartments via the app’s digital key feature. Other ASR initiatives supporting Ascott’s growth include the purchase of ASR points online, as well as the ASR Elite Status Match and CapitaStar-ASR Points Exchange programmes which allow ASR members to gain more points or upgrade their membership tier.

By paring down our exposure in Japan’s retail sector and leveraging our logistics experience in markets such as Singapore, Australia and the United Kingdom to expand into the new economy sector in Japan, we are responding swiftly to shifting market trends and consumer behaviours, positioning CapitaLand for future growth. Despite COVID-19, we have crossed our capital recycling target of S$3 billion and remain focused on divesting non-core assets opportunistically. CapitaLand will continue to actively reconstitute and optimise our portfolio to deliver long-term value for our stakeholders.” Mr Gerald Yong, Chief Executive Officer, CapitaLand International, said: “The logistics sector in Japan presents significant opportunities for CapitaLand. The global pandemic has accelerated the growth of e-commerce and the logistics sector has been a prime beneficiary of this trend. Vacancy rates of the logistics sector in Greater Tokyo have reached a historical low of 0.4%. The logistics sector is set to continue its growth momentum as more customers transact online. We aim to achieve meaningful scale over time by leveraging Mitsui & Co. Real Estate Ltd’s local knowledge and access to business opportunities to grow our logistics portfolio in Japan.” Mr Yoshiyasu Furukawa, President and CEO of Mitsui & Co. Real Estate Ltd, said: “We are pleased to partner with CapitaLand on their first logistics project in Japan. The combination of Mitsui & Co. Real Estate Ltd’s extensive experience in Japan’s logistics sector and CapitaLand’s position as one of Asia’s largest diversified real estate groups is a winning partnership. We aim to deliver a modern and quality logistics development in 4Q 2022 and deepen our collaboration in the future.” CapitaLand’s Presence in Japan and Korea CapitaLand has been operating in Japan and Korea for close to 20 years. Post divestment, CapitaLand will retain S$3.8 billion of assets under management (AUM) in Japan and S$2.0 billion of AUM in Korea. In Japan, CapitaLand has two malls in Greater Tokyo - Olinas Mall and Seiyu & Sundrug Higashimatsuyama. CapitaLand also has four office assets in Tokyo and Yokohama.

• CapitaLand recognised for global sustainability leadership on Dow Jones Sustainability Indices - CapitaLand has been listed on the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) for the ninth consecutive year, reinforcing its reputation as a global sustainability leader in real estate. Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) track the performance of the world's leading companies in the areas of economic, environmental and social factors. CapitaLand has also maintained its listing on the Dow Jones Sustainability Asia Pacific Index (DJSI Asia Pacific) for the 12th consecutive year. This makes CapitaLand the first and longest standing company in Singapore to be listed on the DJSI Asia Pacific. CapitaLand’s inclusion in the DJSI is tied to the interest rates across four of CapitaLand’s sustainability-linked loans totalling S$600 million. With CapitaLand maintaining its listing on the DJSI, along with the achievement of other environmental, social and governance (ESG) indicators, CapitaLand will receive interest rate savings from the reduced interest rates on these sustainability-linked loans. CapitaLand has also retained its listing in the MSCI World ESG Leaders and MSCI World Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) Index in 2020. This is CapitaLand’s seventh inclusion in the rankings. The MSCI Global Sustainability Indices are designed for investors seeking exposure to companies with strong sustainability profiles. It comprises companies focusing on products or services that contribute to a more environmentally sustainable economy by making a more efficient use of limited global natural resources. First real estate company in Asia (excluding Japan) to have its carbon reduction targets validated by Science Based Targets initiative CapitaLand is the first real estate company in Asia (excluding Japan), and in Singapore to have its carbon reduction targets set using a science-based approach validated by Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), for a ‘well-below 2 degrees Celsius’ scenario. The scenario is in line with the Paris Climate Agreement to keep global temperature rise ‘well-below 2 degrees Celsius’ in this century. Mr Andrew Lim, Group Chief Financial Officer, CapitaLand Group said: “At CapitaLand, sustainability is at the core of what we do. We measure our sustainability efforts against global benchmarks such as Dow Jones Sustainability Indices and embed sustainability into our cost of funding. Being consistently recognised as one of the world’s most sustainable real estate companies further encourages us to step up our efforts in sustainability. The interest rate savings from our sustainability-linked loans can be redeployed to support our operations and ESG initiatives, spurring better sustainability outcomes. Having our carbon reduction targets validated by the common international standard, SBTi, paves the way for more financial products and services that we could work with our like-minded capital partners to roll out. CapitaLand will continue to build on our sustainability achievements to create a greater positive impact on the environment and society.” Ms Lynette Leong, Chief Sustainability Officer, CapitaLand Group said: “As a global sustainable real estate leader, CapitaLand continues to break new grounds by being the first in Asia excluding Japan to have our carbon reduction targets validated by SBTi to keep global temperature rise ‘well-below 2 degrees Celsius’. To achieve these carbon reduction targets and other resource efficiency aims outlined in CapitaLand’s 2030 Sustainability Master Plan, leveraging innovation and technology is key.

As we step up on our on-going sustainability practices, the CapitaLand Sustainability X Challenge will amplify our sustainability efforts, enabling CapitaLand to contribute more tangibly in the global fight against climate change and future-proof our organisation.” CapitaLand’s SBTi validated targets are to reduce scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 28% by 2030 since 2019. It has also committed to reducing scope 3 GHG emissions from capital goods by 22% per square metre by 2030 since 2019.

• Coating of Lock Gates and further Components of Corumana Dam in Mozambique - Mozambique: The Corumana dam at the river sabie was started operating in 1990. Due to the civil war and financial limitations, the works were not completed and the floodgates could not be installed. Last summer, the corroded lock gates and further components were refurbished with the high-performance coatings of Ceramic Polymer and were finally built-in. Now the metal parts of the dam are prepared for durable use in the water. By the installation of the lock gates, the storage capicity of the Corumana dam could be increased from 720 million to 1.25 billion cubic meters, which is a high contribution for the production of more food in this area of Maputo province in Mozambique. The changing humid climate (wet and dry seasons with high temperatures) in Mozambique as well as the constant contact with the water accelerate corrosion of metal componants. Furthermore, the parts of the dam are exposed to high mechanical friction. Thus, best performance coating products were needed for this demanding field of application. The coating systems PROGUARD CN 200 and PROGUARD 169 (37) provide high-grade resistances and outstanding physical properties. The products were applied by airless spraying method or conventional handtools. Corrosion protection applications Corumana dam: Gates, linkages, lashing strips, gate wheels : 465 m2 Trash rack grapple: 25 m2 Jet valve: 59 m2 Radial gate, wheels, suspension systems : 346 m2 PROGUARD CN 200 and PROGUARD 169 (37) – Corrosion Protection on highest Level All metal components were equipped with PROGUARD CN 200, our premium epoxy coating for reliable and durable protection against corrosion in aggressive marine and industrial environments.
