NEW TAIPEI CITY, Taiwan, Sept. 24, 2024 /CNW/ — SINBON, a Taiwan-based electronic interconnect design and integration service provider, is unveiling the results of its annual Sustainability Report for 2023.

“Over the past year, SINBON has been actively implementing its sustainable development strategy while achieving steady growth in business performance,” commented Joseph Wang, Chairman of SINBON. “We have aligned the three major frameworks of environmental sustainability, social participation, and corporate governance, and uphold the concepts of integrity, innovation, and sharing to enhance our competitiveness in sustainable value creation.”

The environment and energy management

To power its business, SINBON launched several new solar power installations with a total capacity of 3MW, bringing its total self-generated renewable energy usage to 2,044,800 kWh, or 6.56% of the Group’s total electricity usage. Furthermore, SINBON factories in Miaoli, Tongcheng, Jiangyin, and Beijing TongAn all received the ISO 50001 certification, which helps companies to conserve power through an energy management system, contributing to a total annual savings of 1,171,705 kWh.

For carbon emissions, SINBON reached an 11% reduction in Scope 1 (direct) and 2 (indirect) carbon emissions. This is significant progress towards the company’s near-term goal of an 18% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 by 2025 (with 2021 as the baseline year). Additionally, four SINBON products received ISO 14067 certifications, which assesses and officially determines the carbon footprint of a product (CFP).

SINBON’s revenue from sustainable industries grew from 44% in 2022 to 47% in 2023, and a growing share of this comes from the green energy sector specifically, at 30.33% compared with 26.81% in 2022.

To address biodiversity, SINBON will adopt the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures’ framework in 2024 and has set the goal of achieving Net Positive Impact (NPI) on biodiversity by 2050.

Embracing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), the company offers DEI courses and training programs to educate and inform team members. To welcome and include people from various backgrounds, the company also conducts multi-cultural recruiting and training programs. Moreover, the company reached 47% female representation among managers in 2023 — also the first year it was included in the Bloomberg Gender Equality Index among only 16 companies from Taiwan.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

About LEAP Group
LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less. Matter More.,” LEAP gives clients access to specialized experts across its entire network. Learn more at leapgroupnetwork.com.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
