SINGAPORE, Aug. 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Trip.com Group announces new global 20-day paid paternity leave policy for employees, reinforcing its commitment to supporting families across its global workforce. The company further releases its 2025 Sustainability Report, highlighting progress in advancing climate action, empowering communities and driving innovation across the global tourism industry.

Among the report’s key milestones, Trip.com Group became the first online travel company in the Asia Pacific region to have both its near-term and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Together, these initiatives reflect the Group’s “Friendly Four” framework (family-friendly, community-friendly, environmentally-friendly, and stakeholder-friendly), which brings together its commitment to supporting families, communities, the environment, and industry partners while creating long-term value for travellers around the world.

“Travel connects people, cultures and communities, and we believe the future of travel must also create positive outcomes for the planet and society,” said Jane Sun, CEO of Trip.com Group. “Through our sustainability strategy, we are investing in our people, accelerating climate action and working with partners worldwide to build a more resilient tourism ecosystem.”

Supporting Families

Trip.com Group continued its commitment to a family-friendly workplace through its Childcare Subsidy, which has supported over 2,038 families since its launch. In 2025, 1,114 employees benefited from this initiative, supporting over 1,132 children, with annual expenses totalling approximately USD 1.6 million. During the reporting period, the Group also maintained a 100% return-to-work rate for female employees following maternity leave.

Building on this, Trip.com Group is introducing a global paternity leave policy that supplements local statutory entitlements and provides eligible employees with minimum of 20 days of paid paternity leave. The first phase will take effect on 1 August, covering selected markets across Asia, with additional regions joining later this year. By expanding support for working parents, the Group continues to foster a more inclusive workplace and promote a healthier balance between work and family life.

Alongside these initiatives, Trip.com Group continued advancing workplace diversity and inclusion. Women held 33.1% of senior management positions and 52.3% of management roles within key revenue-generating functions. The Group further promoted women in STEM-related positions, with women accounting for 33.0% of all related positions.

Empowering Communities

Trip.com Group expanded initiatives that make tourism more inclusive while delivering meaningful benefits to local communities.

The Group remains committed to empowering users via solutions that enhance the planning and booking experience. The ‘Trip for Everyone’ project focused on upgrading and unifying accessibility standards, covering colour contrast, scalable typography, screen reader compatibility, and keyboard navigation. The work was recognised with an iF Design Award for helping travellers with diverse physical and situational needs explore the world with more autonomy.

Trip.com Group continued expanding its Country Retreat programme, supporting approximately 11,000 indirect employment opportunities during the reporting year. The initiative has supported local economies by generating around 51,000 employment opportunities over the last five years, and has hired at least 80% of local staff across its 12 properties.

To help travellers access support in times of need, the Group’s Global SOS Platform was upgraded to support 24 languages and 20 travel emergency scenarios. By the end of 2025, the platform had handled more than 23,000 assistance requests across over 100 destinations. 

Protecting the Future of Travel

Climate action remained a key priority as Trip.com Group continued to reduce its environmental footprint while making lower-carbon travel choices more accessible.

During the reporting period, the Group’s greenhouse gas emission reduction targets were officially validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), making Trip.com Group the first online travel company in the Asia Pacific region to have both its near-term and net-zero emissions targets validated by the SBTi.

The Group also continued expanding its portfolio of more sustainable travel products across accommodation, flights, car rentals and rail. In 2025, 2.74 million users embraced lower-carbon business travel, generating 23.44 million lower-carbon travel bookings throughout the year.

Growing Tourism Together

Trip.com Group continued investing in the long-term growth of the tourism ecosystem through innovation, destination development, and stronger partnerships.

At its 2025 Global Partner Conference, the Group launched its USD 100 million Tourism Innovation Fund to support innovative tourism projects and cross-sector collaborations that encourage new destination growth models and differentiated visitor experiences. Supporting destinations also means helping local businesses connect with travellers. By the end of 2025, Trip.com Group offered more than 350,000 in-destination experiences worldwide, including dining and shopping experiences, day tours, attraction and performance tickets, and customised guided tours, creating new opportunities for tourism suppliers while enriching travellers’ journeys.

The full report provides further detail on Trip.com Group’s progress, key priorities, and its continued commitment to building a more inclusive, sustainable and resilient future for travel.

TMGM and Chelsea Football Club Extend Partnership into Fourth Year, Expanding into the Middle East

By

SYDNEY, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TMGM and Chelsea Football Club today announced the extension of their partnership into a fourth year, with the collaboration expanding beyond Asia-Pacific into the Middle East.

Since 2023, TMGM has served as Chelsea FC’s Official Online Forex and CFD Trading Partner in Asia-Pacific. The extension advances a partnership spanning matchday visibility, original content and fan engagement.

Three Years of Shared Momentum

In 2026, the partnership reached a milestone when TMGM branding appeared on the back of Chelsea men’s match shirts during the FA Cup – a first in the club’s history. TMGM also joined Chelsea FC’s 2026 Asia-Pacific Pre-Season Tour as an Official Partner, with open training, pitch-side access and post-match tunnel experiences. The tour included a visit by Chelsea players Cole Palmer and João Pedro to TMGM’s Sydney headquarters.

Earlier in 2026, TMGM presented The Famous CFC in Bangkok, where hundreds of supporters attended a live match screening and an exclusive appearance by former Chelsea captain John Terry.

These milestones formed part of a wider programme of premium home-match hospitality, behind-the-scenes visits at Cobham and player-led content under TMGM’s “Trade like a lion” campaign.

A Broader Platform for Year Four

In year four, TMGM’s expanded regional rights will support brand visibility at Chelsea home fixtures, original content featuring players and legends, regional digital campaigns and a China-focused performance series. The programme will also continue through The Famous CFC in selected markets and offer TMGM clients further hospitality and behind-the-scenes access across Chelsea’s matchday, stadium and training environments.

“Over three years, our relationship with Chelsea FC has evolved from regional activations to high-profile moments, including visibility on the club’s FA Cup shirts and its Asia-Pacific tour,” said TMGM. “Entering our fourth year and extending into the Middle East creates opportunities to connect with more audiences through experiences that reflect the ambition of both organisations.”

Chelsea Football Club said: “TMGM has focused on bringing its clients and our supporters closer to the club through digital-first content and in-person events across Asia-Pacific to great effect. We are pleased to extend the partnership into a fourth year and look forward to building on its momentum across the region and also the Middle East.”

Ridgeway Pharmacy Statement Regarding Website Security Incident Involving Third-Party Vendor

September 21, 2026

By

VICTOR, Mont., Sept. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ridgeway Pharmacy, Ltd. (“Ridgeway”) is providing notice of an incident involving its pharmacy website, which was developed by a third-party vendor. Ridgeway identified operational issues on the website and promptly began an investigation with the assistance of external cybersecurity and forensic specialists. That investigation determined that a vulnerability in the vendor-supported website allowed an unknown third party to access the site using elevated privileges, and that certain information may have been accessible as a result. On August 21, 2026, Ridgeway determined that the information potentially involved may have included name, date of birth, address, prescription information, health information, insurance information, and, for a portion of the individuals, payment card information. Importantly, at no time did this incident involve Ridgeway’s internal systems.

Ridgeway takes the privacy and security of information seriously and holds the third parties that support its services to that same standard. Upon learning of this matter, Ridgeway secured and remediated the affected website, stood up a new platform, further restricted access, strengthened monitoring, implemented additional protections against unauthorized activity, and reported the incident to federal law enforcement.

Written notice has been mailed to individuals whose information may have been involved, and out of an abundance of caution Ridgeway is offering complimentary identity protection services through TransUnion, a leading identity protection provider. As a general precaution, individuals are encouraged to review their account statements, health plan explanations of benefits, and credit reports for any unfamiliar activity, to enroll in the complimentary services described in their notification letter, and to report any unusual activity to their financial institution.

Individuals with questions may call Ridgeway’s dedicated toll-free assistance line at 1-833-516-7133, available 8am – 8pm (ET).
