Dogwood Alliance INTRODUCTION SUMITOMO CORPORATION’S DIRTY ENERGY TRADE—AND ITS OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE While the rest of the developed world accelerates its deployment of clean, renewable energy, Japan is running backwards. It is putting in place policies which double down on its reliance on coal, and indiscriminately subsidize biomass power technologies that accelerate climate change. Government policy is not the only driver of Japan’s dirty energy expansion – the private sector also plays a pivotal role in growing the country’s energy carbon footprint.

Yet, the skills and knowledge required to successfully serve in this role have not been comprehensively studied. To address this deficiency, we synthesize the views of 78 sitting Chief Research Officers to document the academic and experiential pathways of respondents, their current roles and responsibilities, and future challenges. We provide recommendations for effective ways of preparing future candidates for this important role.

  • May 19, 2014 Mitsubishi Corporation Marubeni Corporation Sumitomo
    May 19, 2014 Mitsubishi Corporation Marubeni Corporation Sumitomo Corporation Commencement of Sales of Thilawa Industrial Park Development in Myanmar A consortium made up of Mitsubishi Corporation, Marubeni Corporation and Sumitomo Corporation (“the three companies”) joined forces with Myanmar Thilawa SEZ Holding Public Limited on January 11, 2014 to established Myanmar Japan Thilawa Development Ltd., (“MJTD”). MJTD has been developing the 396 hectare “Class A Area” of the Thilawa Special Economic Zone in Myanmar, which is scheduled to open in the middle of 2015. The three companies, as Japanese marketing agents of MJTD, will start the sale of leasehold rights for the Class A Area (50 years + 25 years as optional) in stages from May 19, 2014. Any of the three companies may be contacted for details on these lots, such as the available lot size, rent and other conditions. The Class A Area is located approximately 20 km southeast of the capital Yangon, and offers various incentives as a special economic zone. This is a key location, not only for export processing bases, but also for production bases targeting domestic demand. The three companies will provide high levels of infrastructure and utility services by applying the extensive know-how they have developed in the industrial park business in ASEAN countries. Attracting Japanese and other foreign investment to the Class A Area will also contribute to job creation and the economic development of Myanmar. In addition, on April 23 this year, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) signed a joint venture agreement for MJTD, making the development of Thilawa Class A the first public-private partnership business between Japan and Myanmar.

    ANA COMMERCIAL RATINGS SUMMIT Held January 22, 2013 @ Reed Smith, NYC Purpose The purpose of the Commercial Ratings Summit was to discuss solutions that could help facilitate the availability of brand-specific commercial ratings for television. The meeting was attended by ninety-two (92) individuals representing client-side marketers, agencies, media (network, cable, syndication), solution providers, industry trade associations, and other interested parties. ANA Member Historical Interest in Commercial Ratings ANA member interest in commercial ratings has remained consistently high over the years, per results from surveys done in 2004, 2006, and 2011. • 2004: How interested would you be in having TV commercial ratings readily and easily available? o Very Interested – 75%; Somewhat Interested – 21% (remainder either Ambivalent, Somewhat Disinterested or Very Disinterested) • 2006: How interested would you be in having TV commercial ratings readily and easily available? o Very Interested – 83%; Somewhat Interested – 13% (remainder either Ambivalent, Somewhat Disinterested or Very Disinterested) • 2011: Currently, ratings for individual commercials are not reported by Nielsen. Rather, Nielsen provides ratings for the average of all the commercials in a program (this is the metric called C3). How interested would you be in having ratings available for each individual commercial? o Interested – 82% (remainder either Neutral or Not Interested) Industry White Papers Supporting Commercial Ratings ANA has published two white papers in recent years advocating for commercial ratings: • March 2007: “Achieving Accountability: The Case for Brand-Specific Commercial Ratings.” • February 2010: “The Path to Brand-Specific Commercial Ratings.” In fact, this white paper was a joint collaboration with Nielsen. www.ana.net/commercialratings Even earlier, 4A’s published: • July 2001: “Commercial Ratings – Why We Need Them Now” 1 The Benefits of Commercial Ratings ANA members and other industry experts have identified numerous benefits for brand-specific commercial ratings.
