TCL Founder and Chairman Li Dongsheng in an In-Depth Dialogue with the United Nations Global Compact

SHENZHEN, China, March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TCL Founder and Chairman Li Dongsheng recently participated in the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) "ESG+20 Sustainability Leaders Interview Series." During the session, he spoke with Ms. Liu Meng, Head of China Office with the UNGC. Li shared how TCL implements ESG principles into its global operations, advances green and low-carbon transformation, and promotes coordinated development across its industrial chain. The discussion also highlighted how TCL invests in communities through its global value chain to contribute to mutually beneficial outcomes.

On green and carbon reduction practices, Li noted that manufacturing is a major energy consumer and companies must pursue innovation in production technologies, processes, and workflows to achieve energy savings. For example, TCL CSOT implemented multiple energy-saving measures across its manufacturing operations in 2024, achieving electricity savings of 220,000 MWh. In October 2025, the company announced the construction of a printed OLED production line designed to significantly reduce power consumption compared with traditional vacuum evaporation processes, reducing carbon emissions at the source. On the product side, TCL's FreshIN energy-saving air conditioner was honored with the "AI Energy-Saving Technology Gold Award" at IFA 2025 in Berlin, for its carbon footprint-reducing green design. At the industry level, TCL Zhonghuan supports the global development of clean energy with its core products and contributes to the transformation of global energy infrastructure.

As a leading company within its industrial chain, TCL, through TCL Industries and TCL Technology, has consistently encouraged upstream and downstream partners to implement ESG principles. The company has established supplier requirements covering labor rights protection and operational compliance, promoting responsible practices across the value chain.

Li emphasized that in its global expansion, TCL operates to "the highest standards" when navigating diverse regulatory environments. From its acquisition of Thomson's color TV business and Alcatel's mobile phone business in 2004 to the establishment of manufacturing bases in Mexico and Vietnam, TCL has evolved from exporting products to co-building local industrial capabilities. Sustainability principles are embedded in its global operations, creating value for local economies and communities, as well as employees.

"For advanced manufacturing, technological innovation is the most critical core capability," Li noted. TCL invests approximately RMB12 billion (about USD 1.74 billion) annually in R&D and has accumulated 124,000 patents, including nearly 20,000 PCT patents. In recent years, TCL has integrated large AI models into its intelligent manufacturing systems, improving efficiency and quality and shortening R&D cycles. In 2024, these initiatives generated RMB530 million (around USD 76.8 million) in economic benefits for TCL CSOT.

Li emphasized that the essence of brand reputation lies in fulfilling social responsibility and earning consumer trust. TCL has fully incorporated ESG into the business strategies and annual plans of all its business units and publishes ESG reports annually, demonstrating transparency and accountability. In 2025, TCL also became a Worldwide Olympic and Paralympic Partner, attracting significant global market visibility. That year, its sales in the European market increased by 30%, reflecting the mutually reinforcing relationship between commercial performance and social value.

Since officially joining the UNGC in July 2024, TCL has been committed to supporting the organization's Ten Principles across human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption, and to actively advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

From reducing its own energy consumption and emissions to strengthening supply chain collaboration, and from upholding the highest global standards to driving green development through technological innovation and responsible brand building, TCL has embraced a "doer" mindset and fully embedded ESG into its corporate strategy.

TCL is a "Doer": Embedding ESG to Create Positive Impact across the Global Value Chain

New color variants and smart audio modes redefine modern golf etiquette on the green

CITY OF INDUSTRY, Calif., March 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- As the Northern Hemisphere tees off into the 2026 golf season, MILESEEY Golf is introducing an expansion of its GeneSonic Pro GPS Speaker — combining performance technology with vibrant new colorways designed for today's golfer.

Golf in 2026 remains rooted in technology and data-driven performance. But alongside that evolution comes a renewed conversation about course culture: how modern golfers navigate music, focus, and social dynamics across every type of round.

Adapting to Every Round with Thoughtful Design

MILESEEY Golf's answer to modern green etiquette is flexibility. The GeneSonic Pro GPS Speaker is engineered around three distinct audio settings that allow golfers to read the room and adapt accordingly:

  • Turn it up for casual rounds with friends, practice sessions, and any situation where music enhances the experience.
  • Keep it low for mixed groups seeking subtle background music that supports mental clarity without disruption.
  • Detach the GPS for use as a purpose-built device for tournaments, rounds with traditionalists, or any setting where silence is expected.

In addition to these situational modes, the GeneSonic Pro offers three music environment settings: Golf, Home, and Party. The three modes make it equally at home on the fairway, the practice range, or beyond.

Unlike phone speakers or earbuds, the Mileseey GeneSonic Pro delivers clear, full-range audio while keeping golfers aware of their surroundings. Integrated GPS distance tracking supports both tempo training and distance control in a single device — no compromises required.

Introducing Four New Colorways for Spring/Summer 2026

Why a colorful version? Because golf is getting younger, trendier, and more stylish — and that's exactly what Mileseey is chasing. We want to inject more personality and bold spirit into our brand, transforming this storied sport into a global trend for a new generation.

To mark the new season, MILESEEY Golf is unveiling a limited colorful edition of the GeneSonic Pro in four limited variants:

  • Zesty Red
  • Squad Camo
  • Navy Blue
  • Velvet Violet

Sales are now open at Mileseey.com on March 20. Each color is available in seasonal limited quantities.
