Bonn, - -Deutsche Post DHL is switching to electric vehicles for its delivery services in Bonn and the surrounding region, making the city the first location in Germany with a carbon-free vehicle concept. In an initial phase, 79 vehicles will be put into service by the end of the year in Bonn and the surrounding area for the parcel delivery and the combined mail and parcel delivery. The pilot project sees about 141 electric vehicles on the road by 2016, then resulting in decreased CO2 emissions of over 500 tons per year. Even at the start of the project, Bonn will already be host to one of the world's largest fleet of electrically powered commercial vehicles for combined delivery. The project is supported by the German government's electromobility support program. The CEO of Deutsche Post DHL, Frank Appel, presented the project today in Bonn with German Environment Minister Peter Altmaier, Corporate Board Member MAIL Jürgen Gerdes and the mayor of Bonn, Jürgen Nimptsch.

'This pilot project is unique worldwide and can serve as a role model for other cities and regions,' said Frank Appel. 'As the world's leading logistics company, we operate one of the world's largest vehicle fleets. And because we see the effects of global trade on the environment, we accept responsibility: Alternative drive systems have already been in use in our fleet for years. With about 8,500 vehicles with environmentally friendly drive systems across our operations, we have one of the most efficient fleets in the sector.'

Lower environmental and noise pollution

Deutsche Post DHL is a partner in many alternative drive technology pilot projects. These involve the use of hybrid engines and vehicles powered by electricity, natural gas and biogas, as well as tests of dual fuel or aerodynamic modifications. The Group is working with all major automobile manufacturers, helping to gain important insights for the refinement of new technologies. In 2011 it also began to develop a dedicated electric vehicle; the vehicle was developed for mail and parcel delivery in cooperation with StreetScooter GmbH and institutes at the RWTH Aachen University. The 'StreetScooter' is an electric vehicle specially tailored to the needs of Deutsche Post DHL. With a range of up to 120 kilometers (during the daily postal routine max. 80 km), it is ideal for use in the combined delivery of mail and parcels. An initial production run of 50 vehicles will be delivered starting in summer of 2013. 20 vehicles will be put into service in the pilot project for carbon-neutral delivery in Bonn and another 30 will be used throughout Germany to transport mail and parcels.

'The pilot project in Bonn has model character. Focusing on city deliveries, we can lower both environmental and noise pollution, and we will be able to reduce our fuel consumption. As we operate one of the largest vehicle fleets in Germany, we have a particular interest to utilize innovative and eco-friendly vehicles. I am especially pleased that we can make use of our own electric vehicle in the project. The 'StreetScooter" is a tailor-made electrical car that has been specially developed for our needs in the daily mail business. 20 of these cars together with further roughly 60 other cars will be on the road of Bonn and the surrounding area starting mid-2013,' said Jürgen Gerdes, Corporate Board Member MAIL at Deutsche Post DHL.

'I'm very pleased that Bonn is playing a pioneering role. In the future, our already green city will further benefit from Deutsche Post's carbon-neutral delivery vehicles,' said Jürgen Nimptsch, mayor of Bonn.

The Group-wide GoGreen program

The investments in alternative drive technologies and reduction of CO2 emissions are part of the Group-wide GoGreen program at Deutsche Post DHL. The program includes a specific CO2 efficiency target: The Group has set itself the goal of a 30-percent improvement by 2020 in its CO2 emissions compared with the 2007 baseline. This year the company is celebrating the achievement of two milestones as the Group-wide environmental program turns five and the company is already halfway to achieving its CO2 goal with an efficiency increase of 16 percent.

The government's activities in the field of electromobility are an important stepping-stone on the path to clean, climate-saving mobility. The programs for promoting electromobility, which began with the 'Renewably Mobile' program in April 2009, were expanded in August 2011. They primarily support plans for determining environmental and climatic effects with field tests in automobile and business traffic, for coupling electromobility to renewable energy sources and their network integration, for commercial launch with ecological standards and for the field of resource availability and recycling.

In his inaugural address, Cargotec's Chairman of the Board, Ilkka Herlin, emphasised the increasing role of automation in the functioning of ports, "In Tampere, the focus is on the advancement of automation. Automated solutions can enhance port and terminal functions and promote their sustainable development. We see great potential in automation for our customers around the world."

In the years 2011-2013, Cargotec has invested approximately EUR 35 million in the construction of the Technology and Competence Centre in Tampere. In the Centre, Cargotec's Kalmar business area focuses on the development of energy-efficient, safe and intelligent machinery and automation solutions. "The functioning of ports is simulated in the laboratory and testing range, based on real data provided by our customers. In this respect, the Centre is unique in the world," stated Mika Vehviläinen, President and CEO of Cargotec.

Previously, Cargotec operated in the Härmälä district of Tampere. The guests of the inaugural ceremony were presented with the recently completed history of Cargotec's time in Härmälä. The book sheds light on the 75-year history of the area. "The State aircraft factory was moved from Suomenlinna to Härmälä in 1936. In addition to Cargotec, many other major Finnish companies have significant business operations today that originate from the aircraft factory. You might say that one of the first Finnish business incubators operated in Härmälä," said Chief Technology Officer Matti Sommarberg.

The Technology and Competence Centre is one of the most energy-efficient office buildings in Finland. In March, the Centre was awarded the international BREEAM environmental certificate.

'Giving back has been a cornerstone of Morgan Stanley's culture and values since our founding in 1935,' said James P. Gorman, President and CEO of Morgan Stanley. 'Our partnership with Feeding America has long been an important way for us to create impact, and I am proud of the innovative programs we have worked on together that give children the healthy start they need for lifelong achievement.'

In this latest phase of Morgan Stanley's Fill the Plate initiative, awards to local food banks will total more than $1 million each year for the next four years. The innovative design for this grant-giving allows individual food banks to select hunger-relief programs that most effectively match their local population and capabilities.

New York, NY – – Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings (NYSE: CCO) today announced the rollout of consumer networks, a portfolio of pre-selected out-of-home advertising products that helps streamline the media purchasing process and gives advertisers a more effective way to engage their key audiences.

The company's new consumer networks offer advertisers and agencies a simpler and easier buying process, supported by Traffic Audit Bureau (TAB) ratings that they can plug into demographic-specific advertising models. As a result, advertisers and agencies will have an effective solution that eliminates the need to build the out-of-home component of their campaigns by selecting individual outdoor assets among hundreds of thousands of local and national options.

The new consumer networks, accompanied by out-of-home ratings, are delivered in a format consistent with other major media (TV, radio, print) and offer compatible buying metrics, making it easier to assess the value of out-of-home as part of a comprehensive media plan. By combining demographic targeting with psychographic geo-targeting, Clear Channel Outdoor's consumer networks can offer enhanced audience metrics and ensure that out-of-home campaigns deliver the greatest exposure to a client's target audience -- allowing planners to maximize the effectiveness of their media budget.

'Our consumer networks represent a significant innovation in the delivery of key audiences when they are out of home, and much more is coming from Clear Channel Outdoor as we work to evolve our audience delivery to benefit advertisers,' said Suzanne Grimes, president and chief operating officer of Clear Channel Outdoor – North America. 'With other media facing steep challenges brought on by technology disruption and audience fragmentation, out-of-home is well positioned to maintain or increase advertiser's audience reach and win additional share of their mix. The key is to make buying audiences easier, and we are laser focused on continuing innovation in audience delivery and measurement.'

At launch, the new consumer networks comprise targeted portfolios for several pre-selected demographic groups which range by market including Hispanics, African Americans, women or men between the ages of 18 to 49, adults 18 to 34, and affluent consumers with income greater than $75,000, $100,000 and $150,000 annually.

'The results we're seeing from the industry's investment in the TAB ratings will multiply as we combine measurement innovation with selling innovation,' said Rocky Sisson, chief revenue officer of Clear Channel Outdoor – North America. 'The consumer networks we've built deliver valuable audiences that advertisers want, and this approach is already paying off as major national advertisers have shifted dollars, with confidence, to out-of-home in order effectively attain their campaign goals.'

Following Clear Channel Outdoor's successful piloting of the demographic networks in three markets in 2012, seven markets are in various stages of deployment, including Albuquerque, Cleveland, Orlando, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, San Francisco, and Seattle.

'The development of demographic networks is a very positive step for Clear Channel and necessary direction for the OOH marketplace,' said Connie Garrido, chief executive officer of Posterscope. 'To be able to deliver audiences on a deeper level provides tangible value to assist in optimizing the delivery of a program. We look forward to working with Clear Channel Outdoor to leverage these networks in our planning process and to seeing how CCO continues to build on the networks moving forward.'

About Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc.
Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:CCO), one of the world's largest outdoor advertising companies, reaches approximately 141 million people in the United States and approximately 374 million internationally, with more than 600,000 displays in over 30 countries across five continents, including 49 of the 50 largest markets in the United States.

Certain statements in this release constitute 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

When calling a bank to check a balance or make a payment, for example, frequent callers can be presented with shortened menu prompts, enabling them to proceed more quickly through the options. First-time callers, on the other hand, will hear menus and options with more explanation and guidance on how to use the IVR.

SpeechStorm Personas can also be used to present alternative voices, or personalities, for the IVR depending on brand or target market - male or female, casual and friendly as opposed to more formal, or in a different language. So, a telecoms operator or retailer might use a different voice for a youth-oriented customer segment than for its business customers, or use exactly the same applications in English, French, Spanish or German in different regions. This results in more engaging, effective and enjoyable customer experiences, as well as major savings on development and maintenance of applications.

Using SpeechStorm, new Personas are created and tested through an intuitive business user interface, enabling customer experience teams to work directly on defining the words and phrases that will best engage the target customer. SpeechStorm Personas can also be used to drive further personalization, including special messages, options or offers that only apply to that particular profile. Once complete, the new Persona can be deployed in an instant, with no interruption to service.

'SpeechStorm Personas opens up a range of possibilities for organizations and their customers, many of whom have struggled with the limitations of a one-size-fits-all approach,' enthuses Oliver Lennon, co-founder and CEO of SpeechStorm. 'In a world where customers are increasingly frustrated with tedious, poorly designed call centre menu systems, engaging them in a way that responds to their specific needs will both surprise and delight them, and set your brand apart from the competition. A number of organizations already use our software to deliver services in multiple languages and for different sub-brands, so we're really excited to see what they and others do given even greater scope for personalization. '

Other enhancements are also included in the Hitchcock release, which has already been made available to customers on SpeechStorm's Software as a Service (SaaS) platform. Among these are question-level thresholds for customer experience monitoring, automatic alerting and improved management of historic data and extensions to the company's mobile applications capability.

Lennon comments, 'Hitchcock is the first of our planned 2013 releases, building on the success of more than 100 individual advances in our three 2012 releases. We are constantly extending and improving our technology based on customer feedback, innovations from our team and our assessment of where the market for customer service applications is going - or where we think it needs to go - to make everyday tasks easier ... and a bit friendlier, too!'

- DHL further extends its global support of rugby

Bonn / Sydney - -DHL, the world's leading logistics company, today announced it has become the naming rights partner of the much anticipated British & Irish Lions Tour to Australia in June and July.

The DHL Australia 2013 Lions Tour further strengthens the company's extensive portfolio of rugby partnerships around the world. DHL's support of rugby is almost as far reaching as its network, extending to local rugby teams and competitions in countries as far afield as the UK, US, Kenya, the Netherlands, South Africa and Fiji. DHL also successfully delivered rugby to the world in 2011 as the Official Logistics Partner of Rugby World Cup 2011 and was a partner of the 2005 DHL Lions Series in New Zealand.

'Rugby is about determination, teamwork and dedication, and these qualities resonate very strongly with DHL,' said John Pearson, CEO Europe and Global Head of Commercial, DHL Express. 'We are delighted to be continuing our partnership with the British & Irish Lions Tour this year, and thrilled to be building further on our global ties with Rugby. We look forward to engaging with the fans of both the Lions and Australia before and during the tour!'

The Australian Rugby Union thanked DHL for its support of what was shaping up to be a record-breaking Tour.

'DHL is one of the world's most iconic Rugby partners and a natural choice as the naming rights partner for the Tour. A British & Irish Lions Tour is unlike any other event in the world sport and we are extremely excited to partner with DHL to deliver what promises to be the most successful Tour in Australian Rugby history. With only a handful of tickets left, the DHL Australia 2013 Lions Tour is shaping up as the must-see sporting event of the year,' said Bill Pulver, Chief Executive Officer, Australian Rugby Union.

The Tour kicks off in Perth on Wednesday 5 June when the Lions take on the Western Force at Patersons Stadium. The Lions play nine matches in total, including three Test matches against the Qantas Wallabies. When the Lions last toured Australia in 2001, 300,000 tickets were sold to 10 matches. The DHL Australia 2013 Lions Tour is currently on track to exceed that with a predicted 400,000 tickets to be sold to the same amount of games.

This new property is a perfect complement to our existing Jeddah properties and is an important part of our continued growth within Jeddah and Saudi Arabia.'

IHG is currently the largest international hotel company in Saudi Arabia, both by number of hotels (22) and by number of rooms (5,111). Introduced in 1998, Staybridge Suites is growing faster than any other upscale extended stay brand, having opened almost 200 hotels since its launch. IHG currently has eight hotels in its Saudi Arabia pipeline across four brands.

High-speed fibre broadband is now available to the first homes and businesses in Forfar, BT announced today.

More than 7,400 local households and firms will be able to join the high-speed revolution as engineers complete the local investment in the coming weeks.

It's the latest place in Angus to have access to fibre broadband. Arbroath and Montrose already have the technology and Kirriemuir, Brechin and Carnoustie are also due to be upgraded.

By the end of Spring 2014 more than 35,000 homes and businesses across Angus will be able to benefit as a result of BT's £2.5 billion fibre roll-out programme.
BT is also seeking to work in partnership with the public sector to reach parts of the area that lie outside its commercial footprint.

Brendan Dick, BT Scotland director, said: 'This is great news for Forfar as BT's fibre network brings a boost for local economies wherever it goes. Research suggests that within 15 years fibre broadband could bolster the economy of a typical town by £143 million and create 225 new jobs, 140 new start-up businesses and 1,000 more homeworkers1.

'As 1.5 million UK households and businesses have now discovered, fibre broadband opens up a whole new world to internet users. Whatever you're doing online, you can do it better and faster with fibre. It's great for education, shopping, entertainment, the social networking we now carry out routinely online and it also offers huge benefits for businesses and public services.

'The arrival of fibre in Forfar can really help local firms in these economically challenging times, opening up new ways of working and speeding up vital operations, such as file and data transfers, conferencing and computer back-up, which may also help cut costs.'

Mike Weir, MP for Angus, said: 'The arrival of fibre broadband in Forfar is a major step forward and I look forward to further upgrades in Angus in due course. The internet has become an integral part of daily life for many of my constituents and it's great that local people now have the option of connecting to this exciting technology.

'To ensure our town's future success we need the right building blocks in place, and one of these is digital technology to support our people and economy. With access to fibre broadband, local firms can explore new ways of working and speed up vital operations, boosting their ability to compete.'

Nigel Don, MSP for Angus North and Mearns, said: 'I welcome the fact that Forfar is to have access to superfast broadband. It is important that businesses and residents in rural communities have broadband provision which matches what is available in our large cities, so I trust that the engineering work will be swift and that the service provided will be affordable.

'Undoubtedly the expansion of BT's network will make it easier for next generation technologies to reach the more rural parts of my constituency; I hope this will be achieved very soon as internet access is increasingly becoming a necessity rather than a luxury to conduct business in Scotland.'

BT's fibre footprint currently passes more than 15 million UK homes and businesses. It is expanding all the time and is now due to pass two-thirds of UK premises – around 19 million premises – during Spring 2014, at least 18 months ahead of the original timetable. 2

Brendan Dick added: 'Our ambition doesn't stop with our commercial roll-out. We're keen to work with the public sector to extend fibre broadband to the remaining parts of Scotland that are harder to reach, as we are in the Highlands and Islands. Reaching two-thirds of the UK early will mean we're well positioned to place an even greater focus on the challenge of the final third.'

Openreach, BT's local network business, is primarily deploying fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) technology, where the fibre runs from the exchange to a local roadside cabinet. FTTC offers download speeds of up to 80Mbps and upload speeds of up to 20Mbps3 and could deliver even faster speeds in the future.

From Spring 2013 Openreach aims to start to make fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) technology, where the fibre runs all the way to the home or business, commercially available on demand4 in areas where fibre broadband has been deployed. FTTP-on-demand will offer the top current download speed of 330Mbps3.
According to the regulator Ofcom, the current average UK residential broadband download speed is 12Mbps.

At home, fibre broadband enables a family to simultaneously download a movie, watch a TV replay service, surf the internet and play games online all at the same time. A whole album can be downloaded in less than 30 seconds and a feature length HD movie in less than 10 minutes, whilst high-resolution photos can be uploaded to Facebook in seconds.

Unlike other companies, Openreach offers fibre broadband access to all service providers on an open, wholesale basis, underpinning a competitive market. For further information on Openreach's fibre broadband programme visit www.superfast-openreach.co.uk

Notes to editors
1 Research taken from Social Study 2012 – The Economic Impact of BT across the UK by Regeneris Consulting – see www.btsocialstudy.co.uk for more information.
2 BT's deployment plans are subject to an acceptable environment for investment.
3 These are the top wholesale speeds available from Openreach to all service providers; speeds offered by service providers may vary.
4 Openreach will levy an installation charge for FTTP on demand. It will be up to service providers to decide whether they pass that on to businesses or consumers wishing to use the product.
Due to the current network topography, and the economics of deployment, it is likely that some premises within selected exchange areas will not initially be able to access fibre-based broadband. Openreach is considering alternative solutions for these locations.

Hair for Hope is the Children's Cancer Foundation's call to the public to go bald. Through this symbolic gesture, shavees help to spread awareness of childhood cancer in Singapore, show children that it is okay to be bald and that they are not alone in their fight against cancer, as well as raise funds to help children with cancer and their families.

'StarHub is supporting Hair for Hope because we firmly believe in helping the children with cancer, and their families,' said Mr Adam Reutens-Tan, Corporate Sustainability & Responsibility Manager, StarHub. 'Children with cancer face many challenges in their lives, such as pain from the disease and the treatment, and the stigma imposed by society and even family members. Many of their families also struggle to afford the costly treatments. As young children, it is more difficult for them to understand why and accept that they are afflicted.

'StarHub wants the children and their families to know that they are not alone, that there is a community who supports them in spirit and in kind,' stated Mr Reutens-Tan, who is shaving his head for the fourth time. 'For the StarHub staff who shaved today, this is a brave yet relatively small gesture. Our hair will grow back, either in weeks or months. But for these children, their hair may never return. We hope that well-wishers will support our sacrifice with donations to Children's Cancer Foundation.'

To support this cause and its employees' bald statement, StarHub will donate $46,000 from the StarHub Sparks Fund, or $1,000 for each of the 46 employees who shaved at the satellite event. This is in addition to the $20,000 in online donations raised by well-wishers at the time of the event. Supporters can continue to make online donations until 30 September 2013.

One of the seven female shavees, Ms Michelle Yap from Frontline Training, shaved her head in memory of her late father who suffered from prostate cancer and to support her best friend who was recently diagnosed with cancer.

'My father lost his hair due to the chemotherapy and I have been shaving my head since to honour my memory of him,' shared Ms Yap. 'And I also want to let my best friend and all children with cancer know that they are not alone. Let's grow our hair back together!'

Another female shavee, Ms Wong Yen Yen from StarHub's SHINE division, hopes to comfort and inspire the children with another message: 'It is not the number or amount of hair on our heads that matter; it is who we are inside that counts.'

Ms Celine Ho from StarHub's Customer Service Centre shaved her head in support of her six year-old son Kye Feng, who had just been discharged after a successful bone marrow transplant and who is now on the road to recovery from leukaemia.

'While many people may feel shaken upon learning that they or their loved ones are ill, having cancer is not the end of the world. I want the children and their families to know that there is still hope,' said Ms Ho.

Those who are interested in supporting StarHub's shaving efforts can make an online donation at http://www.hairforhope.org.sg/index.php?/shavee/sdetails/17.

Madrid, - - Atos, an international IT services company, and its partners in the Intelligent Cargo (iCargo) European consortium, led by Atos, will have a significant presence in the Munich Transport Logistic Trade Fair (Germany) this year. The biannual Fair has become in the last three decades the major international event on Logistics, Mobility, IT and Supply Chain Management (www.transportlogistic.de/en). During the fair, iCargo partners organize the Workshop and Roundtable titled "Logistic Data Infrastructures: Challenges, Solutions and Business Models", to be held on June 4th.

This Workshop is part of the dissemination and networking activities of the Consortium, and is targeted to industry experts and Public Administration interested in innovations in the 'Logistics' field. From the iCargo perspective, 'Logistics" is the link between the European economies, and is crucial to conduct business in the current international supply networks. At the same time, novel Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) provide new possibilities to capture, analyze and share data across the supply chain. Through an intelligent use of information, it is possible to maximize the potential of global logistics networks, reducing the underutilization of logistical resources and the ecological and economic impacts of this underutilization.

The workshop will emphasize the necessity for a common industrial effort on the European level to turn ICT innovations into sustainable practices leading to higher margins for the industry and cleaner and more environmental friendly Logistics operations for the society.

The goal of the iCargo Consortium is reducing CO2 emissions by improving the efficiency of intermodal freight systems and the enhancement of intelligent systems for decision support. The consortium, led by Atos, is composed of 29 organizations, including traders, associations, research centers and public authorities with experience in Logistics management and supply chain, as well as Information Technology and Communications.

Goals of iCargo Workshop

-Present advanced solutions applied by leading industries in the Logistics field.
-Discuss the vision and requirements for future Logistics data infrastructures, with the contribution of key research projects and European institutions.

Topics to be discussed include, among others:

-Supply network design, optimization of resources on a global level.
-Big data infrastructures in Logistics.
-Innovative business models based on cooperation and information exchange.
-Impact of regulations on the innovation capability of the logistics industry.
-Emissions monitoring in the supply chain.
