DUBAI, UAE, July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Blockchain for Good Alliance (BGA), a flagship non-profit founded by Bybit and championing responsible innovation, took center stage at the 20th anniversary of the United Nations Internet Governance Forum (UN IGF) in Oslo. In collaboration with the Singapore Internet Governance Forum (SGIGF), BGA co-hosted an exclusive, high-level dinner titled "Bridging the Future: Blockchain, Governance & Global Cooperation" at Oslo's historic Akershus Fortress.
Held as an official side event supported by the UN IGF Secretariat, the dinner brought together global leaders from governments, multilateral organizations, blockchain, and AI to promote dialogue around inclusive, ethical, and interoperable digital infrastructure.
The event was led by Glenn Tan, Director of Global Affairs at BGA, and co-organized with SGIGF's Founding Members Henry Wang and Una Wang. Distinguished guests included His Excellency Dharambeer Gokhool, President of Mauritius; National Deputy of Argentina Pamela Calletti; Senator Kenneth Pugh of Chile; as well as representatives from various UN agencies and national parliaments.
Central to the evening's discussion was blockchain's transformative role in shaping a trusted and collaborative global digital ecosystem.
"As we stand at the crossroads of a digital future, Mauritius reaffirms its commitment to an ethical, inclusive, and rights-based digital governance model. Events like the IGF 2025 remind us that trust, collaboration, and shared values must be the cornerstones of our collective journey in the age of AI and emerging technologies. The IGF 2025 was not just a conference — it was a collective call to conscience," said His Excellency the President of the Republic of Mauritius, Dharambeer Gokhool.
BGA's Glenn Tan emphasized the urgency of forward-looking infrastructure: "As blockchain transitions from hype cycles to hard infrastructure across the internet, we must ensure that systems built today serve the collective good of tomorrow. This gathering was a symbol of that shared commitment to a multistakeholder future, rooted in both trust and innovation."
Adding a regional perspective, SGIGF Founding Member Henry Wang noted: "As the UN IGF celebrates 20 years of shaping global internet governance, this dinner was a timely reminder that the next 20 must be co-created across sectors, systems, and sovereignties. Blockchain, when aligned with responsible governance and AI ethics, can become the connective tissue of a truly inclusive, decentralized, and intelligent internet."
The evening reaffirmed BGA's mission to advance cross-border collaboration and responsible digital transformation. These conversations will continue at the inaugural Singapore IGF Conference on October 1, 2025, where regional stakeholders will lead the global dialogue on inclusive and resilient internet governance.

- Establishes overseas manufacturing system meeting global health & safety standards following Korean sites
SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KT&G's Indonesian Factory acquired the "ISO 45001" certification, an international standard for Occupational Health and Safety management systems.
With the additional certification of the Indonesian factory following the certification of Russia and Türkiye factories, KT&G has now officially secured a manufacturing system that conforms to international health and safety standards.
The "ISO 45001" is an international standard for Occupational Health and Safety management systems set by the International Organization for Standardization; certification is granted to organizations that establish systems that preemptively identify risk factors in industrial sites and set up prevention measures. The certification is an international standard that evaluates more than just whether simple legal requirements are satisfied—it assesses whether processes such as danger assessment, improvement, and recurrence prevention are operated systematically.
A KT&G spokesperson stated that "The ISO 45001 certification of the Indonesian Factory is the result of our efforts that set the safety and health of our employees as the top value in corporate management. KT&G will continue to grow into a responsible corporate that safeguards our employee's safety and health in both domestic and overseas locations."
Last December, KT&G was given a rating of "AAA" in MSCI(Morgan Stanley Capital International) ESG ratings, and it continues reinforce responsible management systems based on ESG principles.
