JTI's Moscow Office Recognized As the Most Comfortable in Russia PRESS RELEASE JTI’s Moscow office recognized as the most comfortable in Russia JTI Russia headquarters wins Best Office Awards Moscow, June 1, 2016 – Best Office Awards 2016 winners have been announced in Moscow for the seventh time. The award for the best office design has established itself as a kind of Oscar for commercial and office interiors. In 2016, a jury of reputable architects had to select the best in 10 categories from 84 projects nominated for Best Office Awards. JTI’s Moscow office, which opened in September 2015, won in the “Comfortable Environment” category. JTI’s office is located in Mercury City Tower, one of Moscow’s skyscrapers, where the company purchased five floors with a total area of almost 10,000 square meters in 2012, to create a comfortable environment for its employees working at the Moscow headquarters and sales department. The design was developed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), one of the largest US architecture firms, in cooperation with the international architectural practice Aukett Swanke, Universum Project, and Knight Frank. JTI’s office in Mercury City Tower is distinctive for its splendid panoramic views over the central and western parts of Moscow and the Moscow City skyscrapers. One of the designer team’s key objectives was to make the best use of panoramic windows and natural light. With an average of 18 square meters per employee, the office is very spacious. Most desks and lounge zones are placed near the skyscraper’s panoramic windows. The conference hall is equipped with cutting-edge audio and video systems. There is a variety of bars with comfortable couches and picturesque views; each floor has several kitchens and relax and coffee break zones. The special acoustics enhances the feeling of comfort. The office is equipped with sound absorbing ceiling systems, sound barriers below raised access flooring, double-glazed windows in private offices and meeting rooms, automatic door bottom seals, etc. Common open spaces feature special acoustic partitions and booth chairs made of sound-absorbing materials. The British firm Sandy Brown Associates, which once served the Royal Academy of Music, BBC Media Centre in London, and the UN Conference Center, was JTI’s acoustics consultant. Page 1 of 2 JTI’s office has been built to meet LEED green building certification standard (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), which contains over 40 strict requirements for energy and water saving, environmental technology innovations, and indoor air quality. The office has bathroom fixtures with water-saving features, containers for separate waste collection, and a lighting management system allowing for energy savings of up to 75 percent (60 percent thanks to the use of natural light and 15 percent, to presence detection and time- based control). In January 2016, JTI’s office was certified to the Gold level of LEED (there are four LEED rating levels: Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum). Today only nine offices in Russia are certified to the LEED standard, and JTI is the only company in Russia to achieve this level in the past three years. “Our goal was to create a truly convenient, comfortable and stylish office for our employees. We didn’t take the easy way out, but rather focused on meeting high international environmental standards, and this was the biggest challenge of the project. The fact that we have won the competition between the country’s best offices in the "Comfortable Environment" category is the best evidence that we have achieved it”, said Marina Krechetnikova, JTI Russia’s Administration Director and the project lead. Other winners of Best Office Awards: A.T. Kearney’s project, designed by OFFCON architectural bureau, has been awarded Gran Prix at Best Office Awards 2016.

  • THE RISE of CHINA and the DEVELOPMENT of FINANCIAL CENTRES in HONG KONG, BEIJING, SHANGHAI, and SHENZHEN* Simon Xiaobin Zhao
    THE RISE OF CHINA AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF FINANCIAL CENTRES IN HONG KONG, BEIJING, SHANGHAI, AND SHENZHEN* Simon Xiaobin Zhao, Qionghua Lao and Neo Ying Ming Chan As China's economy becomes more integrated with the world, several finan- cial centres are expected to grow within the Chinese financial system. Hong Kong and Shanghai are unarguably the prime financial centres in China's economy, but Beijing and Shenzhen perform unique and irreplaceable func- tions in China's financial framework. This paper examines the strengths and competitiveness of Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen through a wide range of market assessments in stock, bond, funds markets, futures and derivatives as well as the foreign exchange market and the presence of corpo- rate headquarters to reveal how the development of financial centres in China relates to the rise of China's economy. The findings suggest that Hong Kong performs the role of an international financial centre in the Greater China region in terms of possessing highly internationalized financial industries and a sound legal environment, while Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen have strong points in domestic financial services and functions; together they not only represent the symbolic rise of China but also contribute to the fast growth of China and Asian economies. Keywords: International Financial Centre, Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, the rise of China, Chinese financial framework, financial services and functions. Introduction China's persistent economic growth in the past thirty years heralds its emergence as a great power in the world economy. China became the world's second largest economy in 2011, has the largest foreign exchange reserves in terms of trade surplus, a banking industry that has remained relatively intact after the 2007–2008 subprime crisis, and a capital market that is predicted to become the world's third largest by 2016 (XINHUA 2007).

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See APOSTOLIC JOURNEY TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND VISIT TO THE UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION HEADQUARTERS MEETING WITH THE STAFF OF THE UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION ADDRESS OF HIS HOLINESS BENEDICT XVI* New York Friday, 18 April 2008 Ladies and Gentlemen, Here, within a small space in the busy city of New York, is housed an Organization with a worldwide mission to promote peace and justice. I am reminded of the similar contrast in scale between Vatican City State and the world in which the Church exercises her universal mission and apostolate. The sixteenth-century artists who painted the maps on the walls of the Apostolic Palace reminded the Popes of the vast extent of the known world. In those frescoes, the Successors of Peter were offered a tangible sign of the immense outreach of the Church’s mission at a time when the discovery of the New World was opening up unforeseen horizons. Here in this glass palace, the art on display has its own way of reminding us of the responsibilities of the United Nations Organization. We see images of the effects of war and poverty, we are reminded of our duty to strive for a better world, and we rejoice in the sheer diversity and exuberance of human culture, manifested in the wide range of peoples and nations gathered together under the umbrella of the international community. On the occasion of my visit, I wish to pay tribute to the invaluable contribution made by the administrative staff and the many employees of the United Nations, who carry out their duties with 2 such great dedication and professionalism every day – here in New York, in other UN centres, and at special missions all over the world.

  • Building a Global Financial Center in Shanghai Observations from Other Centers
    BUILDING A GLOBAL FINANCIAL CENTER IN SHANGHAI Observations from Other Centers DOUGLAS J. ELLIOTT June 2011 The government of the People’s Republic of China has set a goal of turning Shanghai into a true global financial center by 2020, a target with which the municipal government of Shanghai is in enthusias- tic agreement. This objective is a highly desirable one for Shanghai, and China as a whole, because breaking into the very exclusive inner circle of such centers would bring substantial economic gains, increased “soft” geopolitical power, and a large pool of lucrative jobs. These gains would come not just from the growth of a narrowly defined financial industry, but also from a wide range of positive spill- over effects, not the least of which is the creation, or sharp growth, of a number of related industries that are interconnected with finance. This paper examines other global financial centers, and • What is a global financial center? some regional financial centers that strove to become • Who are the core participants in a financial cen- truly global, in order to draw lessons for Shanghai ter? about the prerequisites for success as a global financial • Why do financial centers exist in our electronic age? center.

  • Contemporary Influence of the Russian Orthodox Church Within the “Autocephalous” Orthodox Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia
    Kremlin Watch Report 04.10.2018 Contemporary Influence of the Russian Orthodox Church Within the “Autocephalous” Orthodox Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia Kremlin Watch Team Kremlin Watch is a strategic program which aims to expose and confront instruments of Russian influence and disinformation operations focused against Western democracies. Contemporary Influence of the Russian Orthodox Church Within the “Autocephalous” Orthodox Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia Executive Summary • A general inquiry into events surrounding the Orthodox Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia reveals almost nothing within the realm of Western academia, and the very little information that exists in the Czech language necessitates a thorough compilation of information to bridge the literary gap. • Despite its allegedly independent legal and religious status, the Orthodox Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia continues to remain a victim of the ecclesiastical hegemony of the Russian Orthodox Church—an institution that has become extremely political and militant and seeks to extend the soft power and geopolitical influence of the Kremlin. • The Orthodox Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia has acted as an extension of its Russian counterpart ever since it was hijacked by Soviet “liberators” following WWII. It continues to receive support from numerous Russian organizations and itself promotes a pro-Kremlin and anti-Western worldview in line with the concept of Russkiy Mir and Russian disinformation efforts aimed at presenting the Putin regime as an open and legitimate government. • Starting around 2012, the Orthodox Church of the Czech Lands and Slovakia underwent a series of administrative and financial scandals that divided its leadership and betrayed the strong presence and infiltration of Russian elements within this religious group.
