NAVEX Announces Global Whistleblower Regulatory Compliance Management

NAVEX Global

NAVEX, the global leader in integrated risk and compliance management software, today announced the launch of its Regulatory Compliance Management (RCM) solution. It helps organizations easily navigate and adhere to international whistleblowing compliance rules and regulations in all geographies where they operate – thus avoiding hefty fines and potential impact to business reputation. Whistleblowing is the first of many regulations to be covered, RCM will expand its offering to include other international directives and legislations. With the emergence of large-scale whistleblower regulations such as the EU Whistleblower Protection Directive and the Whistleblower Protection Act, multinational organizations face an even tougher challenge staying compliant and up to date with guidelines. NAVEX RCM will be invaluable to companies wishing to assess and analyze restrictions, requirements, and/or guidelines related to whistleblowing regulations across global jurisdictions. This includes intake methods, notice and consent requirements, reportable issue types, availability of anonymity, and other unique intake, data privacy, and incident management considerations. Prior to NAVEX Regulatory Compliance Management, organizations either assigned employees or paid lawyers a significant sum to track requirements painstakingly and manually. This resulted in hours spent understanding the information gathered on an ad hoc basis, whilst simultaneously balancing and updating internal policies. With NAVEX’s RCM solution, highly skilled subject matter experts will personally assess updates and provide tailored guidance on how to address regulatory changes. They will also offer continued insights and recommendations via an automated platform to empower customers to make informed and strategic decisions. Organizations with global operations gain access to the knowledge and expertise necessary to meet or exceed complex international compliance requirements, thereby reducing risk while reinforcing oversight responsibility. Unlike manual efforts, NAVEX RCM delivers information through an up-to-date web-based portal, rather than spreadsheets, PDFs, and Word documents. This platform enables customizable alerts and automatic notifications when information is updated. “By subscribing to Regulatory Compliance Management, changes are detailed directly in our software as countries update their legislation – all accessible from a centralized dashboard,” said NAVEX Chief Product Officer, A.G. Lambert. “NAVEX continually reviews regulations at the country level to help organizations remain compliant. When regulations are updated, the system will notify subscribed customers of the changes. Decisionmakers will then be able to assess these and update their existing incident management programs as required.” To learn more about NAVEX Regulatory Compliance Management, please read our blog or visit the product page here. NAVEX is trusted by thousands of customers worldwide to help them achieve the business outcomes that matter most. As the global leader in integrated risk and compliance management software and services, we deliver solutions through the NAVEX One platform, the industry’s most comprehensive governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) information system.

Atlas Lithium (NASDAQ: ATLX) Reaches Final Fabrication And Trial Assembly Stage For Its Modular Lithium Processing Plant

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Atlas Lithium Corporation (NASDAQ: ATLX) announced that its advanced lithium processing plant utilizing dense media separation (DMS) technology has reached the final stage of fabrication. This groundbreaking modular design, a first in Brazil's lithium industry, streamlines the transportation, installation and commissioning processes. Notably, the plant's reduced height, weight and overall physical footprint also establish it as a premium option with a highly environmentally-conscious design. A distinguishing feature of Atlas Lithium's processing plant is its innovative use of compact, preassembled modules, a concept the company says is unprecedented in the Brazilian lithium industry. This modular arrangement allows for a smaller physical footprint in contrast to conventional and older designs. It also facilitates optimized transportation, installation and commissioning processes – thus enhancing overall operational efficiency and significantly reducing any environmental footprint. The expedited construction of this modular processing plant represents a crucial milestone in Atlas Lithium's strategic plan to swiftly advance toward production. With the final stages of fabrication and trial assembly underway, the plant is scheduled for shipment to the Neves project site, situated in Brazil's renowned Lithium Valley. Brazil's Lithium Valley, part of the Jequitinhonha River Valley region of Minas Gerais state, holds considerable significance in the global lithium market. The region is attracting attention due to its large lithium deposits and potential for expansion. With the easing of export rules, Brazil anticipates substantial economic gains from lithium production in the Jequitinhonha Valley. For many investors, Brazil’s Lithium Valley is shaping up to be a promising target in the coming years, given that Brazil is estimated to hold the fifth-largest lithium reserves in the world. Atlas looks set to soon become a producer of high-grade lithium concentrate, and such production should occur at a highly competitive cost. "We are fully committed to becoming a producer of high-quality, environmentally sustainable lithium concentrate," said Brian Talbot, the company’s Chief Operating Officer and a Director. "Our experienced technical team has enabled us to pursue an accelerated development timeline as we rapidly advance towards initiating production in the fourth quarter of 2024. Seeing our modular processing plant entering the final fabrication and trial assembly stages is a major milestone. While the core DMS technology is well-established, the modular design we have adopted is an innovation in Brazil's lithium industry. It will help streamline our path to production and cash flow, while providing a much smaller environmental impact." Featured photo courtesy of Atlas Lithium.

The Regenerative Power Of Seaweed: Nurturing Health, Empowering Women And Sustaining The Planet

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga Seaweed is a staple food in many Asian cultures, but it is only now gaining significant popularity in the West as well, largely due to its numerous health benefits. Seaweed contains an array of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin K, B vitamins, zinc, and iron. Scientists have cited weight control, anticancer, and antioxidant effects and prebiotic intake as some of the benefits of regularly including seaweed in your diet. Simply put, seaweed might be an underutilized superfood, with reports estimating that the market could be worth $11.8 billion by 2030. In addition to the health benefits, many scientists and environmentalists are looking to seaweed as a solution to food insecurity and climate change concerns. Seaweed is known for absorbing nitrogen from the water and bolstering biodiversity by providing food and habitat for marine life, among other benefits. Current estimates reveal that food production is responsible for 80% of all land degradation, 70% of global freshwater use, and a staggering one-third of all greenhouse gas emissions. In stark contrast, seaweed cultivation requires neither land nor freshwater, effectively avoiding these environmental costs altogether. Further, the minimal greenhouse gas emissions associated with seaweed farming make it a highly sustainable alternative to land-based food production. How Rootless Is Using Seaweed To Benefit Women’s Health Rootless is a company dedicated to revolutionizing the global food system, with a particular focus on women's health. Founded by Sachi Singh, a passionate advocate of seaweed, this company is on a mission to make the health benefits of seaweed accessible to all. The company sources its seaweed from the Atlantic Ocean off the coasts of Maine and Ireland, and says it ensures it meets rigorous quality standards. The seaweed is sustainably harvested, providing livelihoods to coastal communities while simultaneously helping to heal the surrounding ocean environment by absorbing carbon and nitrogen. Rootless's flagship product, The Daily Bites, a whole-food snackable supplement, can support hormone balance in menopause and beyond with over 40 macro and micronutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and unique bioactives. In a consumer trial where women ate one of the company’s Daily Bites every day for four weeks, 86% experienced higher energy and/or improved metabolism and 83% experienced less bloating and/or constipation, while 97% experienced less hormonal acne and/or dryness. Rootless is currently hosting a raise to assist with increasing the company’s presence and support more women worldwide, while contributing to the fight against climate change. In an era of dwindling global resources, it is crucial to seize opportunities presented by readily replenishable and ecosystem-enhancing resources like seaweed. Rootless seems well-positioned to introduce seaweed to women searching for solutions to various issues like hormonal acne and hormonal disorders, as well as broadly supporting overall women’s health.

The Chemours Company Has Been Implicated In A Securities Fraud Class Action Lawsuit – Here’s How Investors Can Get More Information

Benzinga

By Faith Ashmore, Benzinga The Chemours Company (NYSE: CC) has been under scrutiny for a securities fraud class action lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The action, Taylor Jr. v. The Chemours Company, et al. affects anyone who purchased or acquired Chemours common stock between February 10, 2023, and February 28, 2024. Chemours, a chemical company, is accused of engaging in misconduct related to its financial reporting. The company claimed to have generated strong Free Cash Flow for the fourth quarter of 2022 and the full year of 2022, which is the amount of cash a company has available after accounting for operational expenses and investments in property and equipment. Chemours reported its Free Cash Flow figures and its CEO and CFO certified the accuracy of the numbers. Chemours also set criteria for executive compensation based on financial targets, including Free Cash Flow targets. Senior executive officers, including the CEO and CFO, were entitled to additional cash compensation and stock-based compensation if these targets were met. However, on February 13, 2024, Chemours announced a delay in releasing its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2023. The company cited the need for additional time to complete its reporting process and evaluate its internal control over financial reporting. It also revealed that an internal review was being conducted by the audit committee. As a result of this announcement, the stock price of Chemours fell by over 12%. Then, on February 29, 2024, Chemours further shocked investors by announcing that its CEO, CFO and principal accounting officer were placed on administrative leave. The company disclosed that the investigation involved processes for reviewing reports made to the company's Ethics Hotline and practices for managing working capital, including their impact on incentive plans and certain financial metrics. Following this revelation, the stock price of Chemours plummeted by more than 31% to the price of $28.72 per share. On March 6, 2024, Chemours announced that the audit committee found evidence that senior management had deliberately delayed payments to vendors and accelerated the collection of receivables to meet Free Cash Flow targets and incentive compensation metrics. Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP has filed a class action lawsuit against The Chemours Company based on the admission of the senior management’s securities fraud. Here’s How Investors With Losses Can Find Out More Information About Their Rights Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP, located in Radnor, Pennsylvania, has earned a reputation for prosecuting class actions in state and federal courts throughout the U.S. and globally. It has successfully recovered billions of dollars for victims of fraud and other corporate misconduct. The firm is encouraging Chemours investors who have suffered significant losses to directly contact the firm for more information. To potentially qualify as a lead plaintiff in the Chemours class action lawsuit, investors must take action no later than May 20, 2024. They can move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff either through Kessler Topaz Meltzer & Check, LLP, or other legal counsel. Alternatively, investors can choose to do nothing and remain as absent class members. A lead plaintiff is a representative party who acts on behalf of all class members in the litigation. This individual or small group of investors typically has the largest financial interest and is considered adequate and typical of the proposed class of investors. The lead plaintiff also selects legal counsel to represent both the lead plaintiff and the class. If the court approves these attorneys, they become lead or class counsel. Applying to become a lead plaintiff does not affect an investor's ability to share in any recovery from the lawsuit.

Setting New Standards in Trade Finance and Logistics for the Mining Industry

MarketJar

In recent years, the commodity trading industry, especially within mining and metals, has seen a remarkable uptrend, underpinned by complex supply and demand dynamics, geopolitical influences, and currency fluctuations. These elements have not only driven significant price volatility but also introduced financial intricacies that impact market participants. The inherent volatility of these markets poses a dual challenge: it subjects traders to credit risks from potential defaults and creates liquidity constraints, complicating the acquisition of financing. This volatility is further complicated by supply chain and logistical challenges unique to the mining and metals sectors. Issues such as transportation delays, documentation inaccuracies, and stringent regulatory compliance requirements can severely disrupt trade finance transactions and inflate operational costs. These complexities are magnified in an era where the industry is on the threshold of a transformative shift towards the next normal, spurred by the global energy transition. This transition, characterized by the economic and physical integration of global food, energy, and materials systems, promises to heighten structural volatility, disrupt traditional trade flows, and redefine commodities in unprecedented ways. From a trading perspective, this evolving landscape presents a mix of opportunities and challenges, fundamentally altering commercial relationships and profitability metrics. Commodity trading value pools have witnessed substantial growth, nearly doubling EBIT from $27 billion in 2018 to an estimated $52 billion in 2021, predominantly fueled by gains in oil trading. 1 This growth trajectory continued into 2022, setting an all-time high $100 billion for gross margin. However, the path to capitalizing on these opportunities is fraught with hurdles. The past few years have underscored the market's vulnerability to spikes in volatility, triggered by the pandemic, extreme weather events, geopolitical tensions, and macroeconomic shifts. These fluctuations have rippled through various sectors, affecting not just energy but also metals, where energy inputs significantly influence production economics. One company addressing these complex issues head on is MineHub Technologies Inc. (TSXV:MHUB) (OTCQB:MHUBF), an enterprise-grade digital supply-chain platform that connects buyers, sellers, labs, and financiers in a digitally integrated workflow that is usable, shareable, verifiable and unforgeable. MineHub Revolutionizes Trade Finance and Logistics in Metals and Mining MineHub 's SaaS platform eliminates old manual processes, leading to increased efficiency, cost reduction, enhanced security, optimized working capital, and greater transparency across global supply chains. Global mining giants like Capstone Copper, Sumitomo Corporation, and Codelco have already adopted MineHub 's platform for logistics, compliance, trade management, and financing operations. On May 14, MineHub Technologies Inc. (TSXV:MHUB) (OTCQB:MHUBF) announced a partnership with Surecomp Business Solutions, a leader in cloud-based trade finance solutions. This collaboration is set to revolutionize the digitization of trade finance in the commodities sector by integrating MineHub 's platform with Surecomp's RIVO. This move is poised to unlock new efficiencies, transparency, and security in trade finance within the commodities sector, providing users with enhanced capabilities such as streamlined document management, real-time visibility into trade finance processes, ESG compliance tracking and mitigation of fraud risks. MineHub has also signed several new clients this year including a services agreement with a large Canadian bank to deploy its Consignment Module for managing non-ferrous metals transactions. Announced on March 27, this will be MineHub 's first major customer in the finance sector, laying a foundation for future growth and new revenue streams. Collaborating with one of North America's largest banks not only validates MineHub ’s supply chain solutions but also expands its market reach. On March 19, the company expanded its partnership with Sumitomo, which involves integrating Sumitomo’s refined copper business onto the Minehub Platform, starting with key customers in the Asian market. Sumitomo will support sales efforts for the refined platform, highlighting its confidence in MineHub 's capabilities to deliver value in the metals market. As MineHub continues to drive innovation and expand its offerings, it is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the metals and mining sector.
