WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company had significantly overpaid to acquire Tonga Offshore Mining Limited (“TOML”) to undisclosed insiders; (2) the Company had artificially inflated its Nauru Ocean Resources Inc. (“NORI”) exploration expenditures to give investors a false scale of its operations; (3) the Company’s purported 100% interest in NORI was questionable given prior disclosures to the International Seabed Authority (“ISA” or the “Authority”) that NORI was wholly owned by two Nauruan foundations and that all future income from NORI would be used in Nauru; (4) defendants had significantly downplayed the environmental risks of deep-sea mining polymetallic nodules and failed to adequately warn investors of the regulatory risks faced by the Company’s environmentally risky exploitation plans; (5) the Company’s private investment in public equity (“PIPE”) financing was not fully committed and, therefore, the Company would not have the cash necessary for large sale commercial production; (6) as a result of the foregoing, the Company’s valuation was significantly less than defendants disclosed to investors; and (7) as a result, defendants’ public statements were materially false and/or misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

• New Schneider Electric report outlines “Back to 2050” decarbonization scenarios
• Schneider experts on the ground in Glasgow to advance decarbonization insights and solutions with business partners, climate experts and influencers

Rueil-Malmaison (France), October 29 2021 – Schneider Electric, the leader in the digital transformation of energy management and automation, is actively supporting global climate change efforts at the upcoming COP26 meeting, with experts on the ground and the release of a flagship report that offers fresh perspectives on our planet’s pathway to decarbonization.

The 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) taking place in Glasgow on 31 October – 12 November is widely considered critical to accelerating global action to tackle the climate emergency.

Many climate experts, campaigners, and corporates including Schneider Electric are urgently calling on governments, businesses and societies do much more – and act much faster – to ramp up the adoption of clean-energy, electrification, energy-efficiency and other climate-positive technologies.

“We welcome the commitments already made by numerous governments around the world, and hope that COP26 will deliver more concrete actions in support of an accelerated transition to net zero”, says Olivier Blum, Chief Strategy and Sustainability Officer at Schneider Electric. “The private sector is key in this race to a greener and fairer economy. That’s why we continue to lead the charge, as a practitioner and an enabler, to meet the goal of keeping global temperatures from rising more than 1.5ºC, in line with the Paris Agreement.”

Ranked the world’s most sustainable corporation by media and research company Corporate Knights earlier this year, Schneider Electric helps customers reduce their carbon footprints via products and software tools that optimize energy management and industrial processes. The company has a decades-long track-record of spearheading and advocating action on environmental, social and governance issues, and recently announced it is also expanding its sustainability consulting practice.

To coincide with COP26, the Schneider Electric ^TM Sustainability Research Institute is releasing a major new report on how we could achieve net-zero by 2050 and limit global warming to the critical 1.5ºC threshold.

Entitled “Back to 2050” and conducted with energy intelligence company Enerdata, it assesses the long-term impact on energy usage and associated CO₂ emissions of changing social expectations and up-and-coming, disruptive technologies such as autonomous driving, decentralized clean-energy generation, smart EV charging stations in buildings and the use of more digital tools in infrastructure construction, among others.

“Our key finding is that changing consumption patterns, driven by an appetite for the progress that new technologies herald, will help bring about a less carbon-intensive economy. In other words, keeping global warming to 1.5ºC may be more feasible than we think, because as the economy modernizes and provides increased benefits to people, it also decarbonizes,” says Vincent Petit, Head of the Schneider Electric TM Sustainability Research Institute and SVP of Global Strategy Prospective and External Affairs at Schneider Electric. “What we need, however, is to accelerate this trend by shifting the policy focus from being purely infrastructure-centric to being more consumer-centric.”

While in Glasgow, Schneider experts will meet customers and business partners to help them better understand the tools that already exist to help decarbonize infrastructure, buildings, data centers, industries, and cities.

They will also participate in panels and roundtables with artists, campaigners, climate scientists, policy makers, influencers, entrepreneurs, and innovators such as Bertrand Piccard, Founder and Chairman of the Solar Impulse Foundation, which is supported by the Schneider Electric Foundation.

The Schneider Electric Foundation, under the aegis of Fondation de France, will also work with Art of Change 21 to highlight the important role that artists play in the ecological transition by mobilizing youth and creating a dialogue between art, technology, innovation and climate.

Note to Editors:

The Schneider Electric ™ Sustainability Research Institute is the internal strategy think tank of Schneider Electric. Its team of analysts conduct scenario modeling to enrich our understanding of current and future sustainability landscapes, highlighting obstacles and opportunities to accelerate global and local transitions to a climate positive future.

Corporate security teams face a critical juncture

Cobwebs Technologies

AI-Powered Web Intelligence

NEW YORK, Oct. 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The following is an open letter from Cobwebs Technologies – a global leader in Web Intelligence. 

Today, the array of threats posed to disrupt businesses only intensifies, while the systems and methods organizations use to assess the potential for trouble often fail to keep pace. The result is incomplete intelligence gathering, lack of visibility into the exact nature of threats, and increased risk exposure.

The current list of threats ranges from continuously evolving cyberattacks and business espionage to geopolitical instability and terrorism. Natural disasters, extreme weather, and the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic compound matter. Threat actors, for example, have launched ransomware attacks against hospitals, knowing their vulnerability amid expanding patient caseloads due to COVID-19. Against this backdrop, corporate security personnel must safeguard senior executives, employees, intellectual property (IP), supply chains, and brand status to name a few corporate assets.

It’s a daunting challenge. Lives, property, and corporate reputation are all at risk when an enterprise’s ability to properly evaluate and respond to threats is impaired. Indeed, many corporate risk mitigation approaches struggle to deal with the constantly shifting threat landscape.

Limits of current methods and tools

The problem stems, in part, from outmoded investigative methodologies. Organizations naturally settle on practices that have worked in the past. They may limit their threat scanning to a limited number of social media platforms, for example. Such narrowly focused inquiries, however, fail to account for fast-moving changes in web-based platforms, forums, and chat groups. Users discouraged from posting inflammatory messages on one mainstream platform will frequently move to lesser-known, alternative platforms.  

But the social media platforms — and their millions of users — found on the surface web are just the beginning. Corporate security teams must also keep tabs on information sources and repositories housed in the deep web and the dark web, both of which are not indexed by conventional search engines. Those web layers contain a multitude of data that could threaten a business. The dark web, in particular, harbors numerous sites and markets trafficking in login credentials, trade secrets, email addresses, credit card numbers, and tools for engaging in cyberattacks. Dark web forums, which suddenly surface and just as rapidly disappear, can also contain information relevant to a corporate security investigation.

In short, the organization still dependent on social media channels for threat assessment needs to broaden its horizons.

Another important weakness hampering corporate security: investigative tools with limited functionality. Threat intelligence platforms, offered by third-party service providers, serve as the default investigative systems for many corporate security operations. Such a platform is designed to alert a security analyst about a threat, but it doesn’t provide much assistance with vetting threats or creating an effective response.

In addition, relying on a single intelligence service provider also limits an analyst’s ability to tap additional sources to validate a threat and determine its scope. Organizations that can’t readily determine the severity of a threat, run the risk of overreacting and assigning too many resources to the response or, conversely, underestimating the threat and devoting too few. A disproportional response is the direct result of a one-dimensional notification. So, while a threat intelligence platform provides a useful service, it’s only one part of the threat identification and response toolkit.

What organizations need to run an investigation

An investigative platform should, ideally, cover all parts of the intelligence cycle, from planning and data collection to processing and analysis. A system that spans all those components, providing end-to-end automation, forges the critical linkage between notification and response.

Other platform qualities to consider include breadth of monitoring. Analysts should be able to define the scope of monitoring based on their own parameters, which could include geolocation data, hashtags, keywords (such as the names of executives, brands, or other corporate assets), and advanced Boolean operators. Monitoring should also cast the widest possible net across the surface web, deep web, and dark web, pulling in data from social media platforms, forums, and news sites among other sources.

The wider the reach, the better organizations can protect their assets. Thorough monitoring can help determine whether threat actors are using the company’s brand for nefarious purposes on a dark website or transferring its intellectual property.
