Asia Pacífico reina en el 2021 Henley Passport Index como región para emerger primero de la pandemia

LONDRES, 5 de enero de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Los últimos resultados del Henley Passport Index, el ranking original de todos los pasaportes del mundo de acuerdo con el número de destinos a los que sus titulares pueden acceder sin visa previa, proporciona información fascinante sobre el futuro de la libertad de viaje en un mundo transformado por la pandemia de Covid-19.

LONDRES, 5 de enero de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Los últimos resultados del Henley Passport Index, el ranking original de todos los pasaportes del mundo de acuerdo con el número de destinos a los que sus titulares pueden acceder sin visa previa, proporciona información fascinante sobre el futuro de la libertad de viaje en un mundo transformado por la pandemia de Covid-19. 

Sin tener en cuenta las restricciones temporales, Japón sigue ocupando el puesto número uno, con titulares de pasaportes que pueden acceder a 191 destinos sin visado. Este es el tercer año consecutivo que Japón ha ocupado el primer puesto. El dominio del índice en Asia Pacífico (APAC), que se basa en datos exclusivos de la International Air Transport Association (IATA), ahora parece firmemente establecido. Singapur se encuentra en la segunda posición, con acceso a 190 destinos, y Corea del Sur se mantiene en el tercer lugar junto a Alemania, ambos con una puntuación sin visado/visa a la llegada de 189. Un poco más abajo, pero todavía entre los 10 primeros, Nueva Zelanda está en la séptima posición, con acceso sin visado a 185 destinos, mientras que Australia está en la octava posición, con acceso a 184 destinos.

A lo largo de los 16 años de historia del índice, los primeros lugares fueron tradicionalmente mantenidos por países de la UE, Reino Unido o Estados Unidos, y los expertos sugieren que la posición de fortaleza de la región APAC continuará, ya que incluye a los primeros países en iniciar el proceso de recuperación de la pandemia. 

Dr. Christian H. Kaelin, presidente de Henley & Partners y el inventor del concepto de índice de pasaportes, dice que Estados Unidos y Reino Unido todavía enfrentan desafíos significativos relacionados con el virus, el equilibrio de poder está cambiando. «En los últimos siete años, el pasaporte estadounidense ha caído del puesto número uno al séptimo lugar, posición que comparte actualmente con el Reino Unido. Debido a las limitaciones de viaje relacionadas con la pandemia, los viajeros de ambos países se enfrentan actualmente a importantes restricciones de más de 105 países, con los titulares de pasaportes estadounidenses pudiendo viajar a menos de 75 destinos, mientras que los titulares de pasaportes del Reino Unido actualmente tienen acceso a menos de 70.» 

Con la primera vacuna para Covid-19 aprobada hace poco más de un mes, los expertos de la industria aérea creen que la vacunación obligatoria antes de los viajes aéreos puede ser pronto una necesidad. Una innovación tecnológica programada para su lanzamiento en el primer trimestre de 2021 que contribuirá a restaurar la movilidad global es la iniciativa Travel Pass de IATA, una aplicación móvil que permite a los viajeros almacenar y gestionar sus certificaciones verificadas para pruebas o vacunas de Covid-19.

Los expertos sugieren que, en términos de movilidad mundial futura, no podemos esperar un retorno a los patrones pre-pandémicos. El Dr. Parag Khanna, fundador de FutureMap, dice que la nacionalidad por sí sola ya no será suficiente para garantizar un paso seguro. «Incluso para pasaportes todavía potentes, se requerirán protocolos adicionales para volver a alcanzar una movilidad relativamente sin fricción. Los jóvenes de hoy en día son socialmente conscientes, conscientes del medio ambiente y menos nacionalistas, lo que los convierte en potencialmente la generación más móvil de la historia de la humanidad. Anuncian un cambio fundamental en la movilidad de ser cada país para sí mismo a ser cada persona para sí misma.» 

Otras ideas clave y análisis de los expertos figuran en el Global Mobility Report 2021 Q1 publicado hoy por Henley & Partners. Incluye una nueva investigación de Deep Knowledge Group, superponiendo datos de la Evaluación de Riesgos y Seguridad de Covid-19 de la estabilidad económica, social y sanitaria de 250 países y regiones con los últimos resultados del Henley Passport Index. Lo que surge es que para las naciones desarrolladas y en desarrollo por igual, la libertad de viaje no es sólo el resultado de la falta de libertad social o un mal desarrollo económico, sino también un fracaso de la gestión del riesgo, la preparación para la salud y la supervisión y detección. En otras palabras, la inmovilidad mundial ya no es únicamente la difícil situación de los ciudadanos de los países menos avanzados. 

Tal vez, comprensiblemente, hubo relativamente pocos acuerdos de visado de alto perfil durante 2020. La excepción notable fue los EAU, que ha continuado su notable trayectoria ascendente en el Henley Passport Index. El país firmó un acuerdo histórico negociado por Estados Unidos que establece vínculos formales con Israel y otorga a los ciudadanos de cada país acceso sin visado al otro. Los EAU tienen ahora una puntuación de 173 sin visado/visa a la llegada y ocupan el puesto 16 en el ranking. Este es un ascenso impresionante en comparación con la posición que ocupó en el inicio del índice en 2006, cuando el país ocupó el puesto 62, con una puntuación sin visado/visa a la llegada de sólo 35.

El consejero delegado de Henley & Partners, Dr. Juerg Steffen, dice que la volatilidad impulsada por Covid-19 ha empujado el creciente atractivo de la migración de inversiones a la sobrecarga. «Los acontecimientos sin precedentes de 2020 han exacerbado simultáneamente factores de impulso como la inestabilidad política y económica, y los factores de tracción han vuelto a ser prioritarios, con la estabilidad, la seguridad y el acceso a una educación de calidad y a la atención médica convirtiéndose en cuestiones de mayor preocupación que nunca. La ciudadanía y la residencia alternativa son ahora una consideración estándar para las familias y los empresarios internacionales que buscan cubrir la volatilidad y crear valor a largo plazo a través de una mayor movilidad global.»

KFC and Pizza Hut Launch New Plastic Reduction Initiatives in China

  • Yum China steps up efforts to provide sustainable options for consumers

  • Yum China steps up efforts to provide sustainable options for consumers
  • 30% reduction of non-degradable plastic packaging weight by 2025

SHANGHAI, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Yum China Holdings, Inc. (the «Company» or «Yum China«, NYSE: YUMC and HKEX: 9987) announced that it has launched a series of plastic reduction and environmentally friendly packaging initiatives across its brands in line with the latest regulations in China. This includes replacing existing plastic packaging with paper straws, paper bags, and biodegradable plastic bags. As a result of these initiatives, Yum China expects a reduction of approximately 8,000 tons of non-degradable plastics annually starting from 2021.

KFC Be Natural Be You

KFC China recently launched a «Be Natural, Be You» sustainability campaign to enhance consumers’ awareness of environmental protection and encourage more sustainable lifestyles, including reducing the use of disposable plastic packaging and better waste sorting. From January 2021, all KFC restaurants in mainland China will stop using plastic straws and over 90% of KFC restaurants will replace disposable plastic cutlery with wooden cutlery for dine-in and takeaway. In addition, non-degradable plastic bags used for delivery and takeaway in over 50% KFC restaurants will be replaced with paper bags or biodegradable plastic bags. By the end of 2025, all KFC restaurants will phase out non-degradable plastic bags and cutlery in mainland China.

Reducing the use of disposable plastic packaging

As of the end of 2020, all Pizza Hut restaurants in mainland China have eliminated the use of plastic straws. At the same time, over 70% of Pizza Hut restaurants across the country have replaced existing plastic bags with paper bags or biodegradable plastic bags. Building on these achievements, Pizza Hut will eliminate the use of non-degradable plastic bags by the end of 2022.

Reducing the use of disposable plastic packaging

In addition to complying with regulatory requirements, these latest actions reflect Yum China’s company-wide packaging strategy that aims to reduce disposable packaging from source through the use of new packaging solutions, new materials, as well as innovative technologies. The strategy includes ensuring that all customer facing, plastic-based packaging is recyclable, refusing to purchase paper products from suppliers that knowingly cause deforestation, and working towards a 30% reduction on non-degradable plastic packaging weight by 2025.

«The new plastic reduction initiatives reinforce our sustainability strategy to drive meaningful change through packaging innovation and reduction.» said Joey Wat, CEO of Yum China. «In line with our long-term commitment of supporting economic, social and environmental development, we are committed to working with customers, partners, and all other stakeholders to promote a more sustainable future.»

Guided by our Sustainability 4R Principles (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Replace), Yum China has been exploring more eco-friendly materials and designs to reduce disposable packaging from source of use and seek behavioral change among the public. Since 2017, KFC China has provided a «No Cutlery» option for customers when placing an order via its Super APP to encourage customers to reduce the use of disposable packaging. In addition, KFC China rolled out reusable serving baskets in 2019, which saved more than 2,000 tons of paper packaging and reduced restaurant waste in 2019 by approximately 20%. In addition to the reusable serving basket program, KFC China launched the Grassland Restoration Initiative in 2019, which encouraged over 200,000 people to give their support to the restoration of more than 1 million square meters of grassland in Inner Mongolia.

In 2020, Yum China was named the Industry Leader for the Restaurant & Leisure Facilities Industry in Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) in recognition of the Company’s strong performance across economic, environmental and social dimensions. Yum China was also selected as a member of 2020 DJSI World and DJSI Emerging Markets. By making sustainable development an integral part of business operations, Yum China is committed to promoting mutually beneficial stakeholder relationships that enhance the Company’s long-term value.

Leading investors join international taskforce to curb climate change

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — During a summit organised by Techleap.nl, a non-profit organisation helping to quantify and accelerate the tech ecosystem of the Netherlands, leading investors agreed to join a taskforce to engage in international collaboration to curb climate change.

AMSTERDAM, Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — During a summit organised by Techleap.nl, a non-profit organisation helping to quantify and accelerate the tech ecosystem of the Netherlands, leading investors agreed to join a taskforce to engage in international collaboration to curb climate change. The taskforce consists of a diverse group of investors with long-standing experience in the European venture market. Institutional investors, with a longer-term horizon, as well as public investors, will participate to build a framework to invest capital in innovations and technologies that bring long term solutions to the market. Additionally, best practices will be developed for public and private capital to be deployed where the largest impact on the climate and economy can be achieved.

Europe, and the Netherlands in particular, is home to a great number of startups and scaleups that relentlessly work towards curbing climate change. It is crucial that they are able to scale their solutions and ideas across borders. The Dutch government, and other governments across Europe, have released capital to support innovative growth companies. This will give a boost to the capital market, but more financing is needed and private investors must also be attracted to new initiatives. Techleap.nl research shows that lack of capital is the main reason preventing energy companies from growing and the recently published Atomico State Of European Tech 2020 report shows similar findings – 46 % of European tech founders cited access to capital as their main challenge in 2020.

To strengthen collaboration, co-investments, and growth in Europe, Techleap.nl will organise the taskforce around three main pillars; 1) LP/GP Co-investment framework, 2) Talent for Growth and 3) EU Tech IPO’s. A set of best practices and a framework will be developed for increased collaboration and capital deployment into start-ups and technologies that help to flatten the climate curve.

Parties that have already committed to the taskforce and will contribute through investment, insights, and lessons learned are: Bootstrap Europe; a lender that supports thriving industries across the globe, growth accelerator and impact investor Brabant Development Agency (BOM), global early-stage venture firm DN Capital, HPE Growth; a leading pan-European private equity firm focused on expansion/growth capital investments in technology companies, Invest-NL; a private impact investor committed to businesses and projects that will make the Netherlands more sustainable and innovative, MN; on behalf of the pension funds PMT and PME, one of the largest pension administrators and asset managers in the Dutch pension market, lifecycle financier InnovationQuarter, Rabobank’s Captive Investment Fund, a global life cycle investor focussing on building better and more sustainable food value chains, support of transitions to curb climate change and a more effective and efficient healthcare system; Rabo Corporate Investments, and international venture capital firm Vickers Venture Partners.

The taskforce is a direct result of The Flattening the Climate Curve LP/GP Investor Summit, where the world’s largest investors came together to mobilise smart capital and to improve the growth climate for the Dutch and the European tech ecosystem, sparked by insights shared by Larry Fink, Chairman, and CEO of BlackRock and Rebecca Henderson, Professor, Author, and Authority on Reimagining Capitalism.

During the summit, Larry Fink, Chairman, and CEO of BlackRock, said: «The absence of a significant tech industry in Europe has far-reaching repercussions for its long-term growth, but also for its dependence on other nations to provide key technologies. Today, more than ever, we need capital to finance sustainable innovation. Meeting these goals requires major investments to transition the European economy towards a carbon-neutral structure. European savers will need to become investors. The «sleeping money» in Europe needs to be awakened and put to work in productive investments.»

«Despite a global pandemic, we should not overlook other impending threats, such as climate change. As investors, we need to be addressing this crisis with urgency», Maurice van Tilburg, Managing Director Techleap.nl, added: «Currently there is not enough funding available in Europe for tech startups flattening the climate curve, and we believe that the capital that is available can be allocated in a smarter way. In the taskforce, we connect national and international investors to help companies in this segment accelerate and maximise their impact.»

Wouter Bos, CEO Invest-NL, said: «The current Covid-19 pandemic is only a temporary set-back with little or no effect on the fundamental transition towards a carbon neutral and circular economy. As an impact investor, we finance the technologies that enable this transition in the long run. With this taskforce we mobilise the capital and impact knowledge to further accelerate innovations on an international scale.»

Automotive Aftermarket to Hit $1100 Bn by 2026; Global Market Insights, Inc.

SELBYVILLE, Del., Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Global Market Insights, Inc. has recently added a new report on the automotive aftermarket industry, which estimates the market…

SELBYVILLE, Del., Jan. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Global Market Insights, Inc. has recently added a new report on the automotive aftermarket industry, which estimates the market valuation will cross US $1100 billion by 2026. Increasing vehicle ownership, owing to improving economic conditions, is set to drive the industry’s growth.

The increasing average age of vehicles has led to an increase in the need for maintenance & repair services. The sub-par standard of road infrastructure in some emerging economies, especially in the Asia Pacific, escalates the wear and tear in vehicles, leading to frequent maintenance and repair requirements, driving the automotive aftermarket towards a growth trajectory.

Request for a sample of this research report at https://www.gminsights.com/request-sample/detail/1166

The transformation from conventional means to the digitization of service channels and interfaces is aiding growth opportunities for the sector’s expansion. Modern tools, such as big data and data analytics, allow market participants to store and process vehicle usage data to increase the efficiency of the value chain. The data provides insights on specific vehicle details regarding potential service due date and time spent in workshop per vehicle to increase productivity and effectiveness.

Another emerging trend in the market is remote diagnostics. Remote diagnostics allows for real-time monitoring of parameters of an automobile to evaluate its quality of operations and performance in line with predetermined benchmarks. Additionally, more and more small-scale service providers and shop owners are coming into agreement with largescale fleet operators to procure additional contracts for repair and maintenance and are further anticipated to support the industry expansion.

Increasing stringency regarding vehicle safety in terms of regulation mandated by several countries across the globe is forcing vehicle manufacturers to incorporate new safety technologies & features such as ADAS in vehicles. The adoption of ADAS is expected to reduce road accidents significantly over the forecast timeframe. The rising autonomous vehicle trends are expected to limit the automotive aftermarket growth over the forecast timeframe.

The exhaust segment in automotive aftermarket replacement parts will witness around a 7% CAGR over the projected time frame. The exhaust system in an automobile is exposed to high temperatures as the hot air from a combustion engine exits through it. The component is also subject to replacement from high-end and enthusiast consumers to enhance vehicle outlet acoustics. Major components of the exhaust include engine downpipe, engine manifold, catalytic converter, tailpipe, and muffler.

The OEM factory fill segment will witness around a 4% CAGR in the automotive aftermarket size, owing to existing consumer confidence and trust toward automotive parts offered by OEMs. The advantages offered by these OEM outlets include long-term warranty coverage coupled with quality assurance, manifesting the segment growth. The increasing usage of e-commerce and electronics means from established OEM providers is further expected to enhance market growth.

Request for customization of this research report at https://www.gminsights.com/roc/1166

The average age for on-road vehicles in developed regions, especially Europe, is significantly higher and is increasing from the last decade. The European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) states that in 2017, the average age of passenger vehicles in Europe rose 5.71% relative to 2013, resulting in an average age of 11.1 years. With an increase of this aging fleet, the maintenance sector is further expected to drive automotive aftermarket demand.

Some major findings of the automotive aftermarket report include:

  • Increasing sales of pre-owned vehicles.
  • Increasing consumer interest toward e-commerce platforms.
  • Technological innovation to develop vehicle accessories.

Strategic mergers and acquisitions by industry participants will expand regional presence. Major industry players include 3M, Continental AG, BASF, Federal-Mogul Holdings, and ZF Friedrichshafen AG, among others.
