Reading Time: 2 minutes

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Moody’s Corporation (NYSE:MCO) today published its annual Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) report. The report highlights initiatives
underscoring Moody’s commitment to empower people with the knowledge,
resources and confidence they need to create a better future for
themselves, their communities and the environment.

We believe access to opportunity helps propel people toward greater
success and communities toward greater prosperity,” said Raymond
McDaniel, President and CEO of Moody’s. “Over the past year, our global
CSR programs have helped empower people with the knowledge, resources
and confidence they need to work toward a brighter future.”

Moody’s touches communities and markets across the globe. Our extensive
reach creates the opportunity — and responsibility — to play an
important role in helping both people and enterprises in developing
economies to grow and thrive,” added Arlene Isaacs-Lowe, Global Head of
CSR at Moody’s.

Moody’s CSR strategy focuses on three core areas: empowering people with
financial knowledge, activating an environmentally sustainable future
and helping young people reach their potential. Each of these areas are
supported by Moody’s employees sharing their passion and purpose with
the world.

Empowering people with financial knowledge

As part of Reshape Tomorrow, its financial empowerment initiative to
help people succeed in growing a small business, Moody’s works with
small business owners to both help them better navigate the credit
process and connect with lending institutions. For example, Moody’s
partnered with WEConnect International, a global organization that
supports women-owned businesses and champions gender-inclusive sourcing.

Activating an environmentally sustainable future

Moody’s expertise in credit ratings, research and risk analysis helps
facilitate investment in sustainable development. In 2018, Moody’s
completed 21 new Green Bond Assessments, covering $7 billion of debt, to
assist investors in their evaluation of green bond offerings used to
finance environmental projects.

Helping young people reach their potential

Through its partnership with non-profits around the world Moody’s helps
to prepare young people aged 15-24 for successful careers in finance,
technology and economics. In 2018 we created the Queer Coders program
with the Hetrick-Martin Institute, which supports LGBTQI youth in New
York, with a particular focus on people of color. The program helps
young LGBTQI people to develop their technical skills and explore their
passion for coding.

The report also details steps Moody’s takes to enable employees to work
with non-profits and use their professional skills to support local
communities and businesses.

TORONTO and GLIL YAM, Israel, April 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — IM Cannabis Corp. (CSE: IMCC) (NASDAQ: IMCC) (the “Company” or “IMC“), a leading medical cannabis company with operations in Israel and Germany, is announcing that, further to the news release dated January 12, 2024, the Company has decided not to make remaining installment payments installments (i.e. NIS 5,873K including interest or 2,154K CAD) by IMC Holdings Ltd., and as such will transfer the 51% shares held by IMC Holdings Ltd back to the  seller.

“With the April 1st cannabis legalization in Germany, we are focusing our resources on the German market, where we expect to see the biggest growth potential,” said Oren Shuster, CEO of IMC. “With both of our core markets, Germany and Israel, currently undergoing rapid evolution, we need to assure that we allocate our resources to the growth opportunities where we expect the best return on investment.”

About IM Cannabis Corp.

IMC (Nasdaq: IMCC) (CSE: IMCC) is an international cannabis company that provides premium cannabis products to medical patients in Israel and Germany, two of the largest medical cannabis markets. The Company has recently exited operations in Canada to pivot its focus and resources to achieve sustainable and profitable growth in its highest value markets, Israel and Germany. The Company leverages a transnational ecosystem powered by a unique data-driven approach and a globally sourced product supply chain. With an unwavering commitment to responsible growth and compliance with the strictest regulatory environments, the Company strives to amplify its commercial and brand power to become a global high-quality cannabis player.

The IMC ecosystem operates in Israel through its commercial relationship with Focus Medical Herbs Ltd., which imports and distributes cannabis to medical patients, leveraging years of proprietary data and patient insights. The Company also operates medical cannabis retail pharmacies, online platforms, distribution centers, and logistical hubs in Israel that enable the safe delivery and quality control of IMC’s products throughout the entire value chain. In Germany, the IMC ecosystem operates through Adjupharm GmbH, where it distributes cannabis to pharmacies for medical cannabis patients. Until recently, the Company also actively operated in Canada through Trichome Financial Corp and its wholly owned subsidiaries, where it cultivated, processed, packaged, and sold premium and ultra-premium cannabis at its own facilities under the WAGNERS and Highland Grow brands for the adult-use market in Canada. The Company has exited operations in Canada and considers these operations discontinued.

SHENZHEN, China, April 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — CCELL®, the world’s leading technology brand focused on creating trendsetting vape hardware products and advanced vaporization technology, today announced the launch of the Eco Star, the company’s all-in-one vaporizer focused on sustainability, wide-ranging oil compatibility, and ease of use.

The Eco Star’s casing material is made of biodegradable and plant-based PLA, a material that can be decomposed by bacteria or other living organisms. By adopting this type of eco-friendly casing, CCELL seeks to provide an option that can reduce the cannabis industry’s overall environmental impact and build a more sustainable society.

Built within the casing is a removable and recyclable lithium-ion battery. This thoughtful pull-apart design allows consumers to easily remove the battery before disposing of the casing, empowering them to contribute towards a greener Earth.

The Eco Star also features complete compatibility with all types of cannabis oils, clog-free dual air vents, and an isolated airway that ensures the cleanest possible vapor.

With increasing environmental challenges worldwide and tightening regulations on vape products, the Eco Star was introduced with the intention of raising environmental awareness across the industry.

The company has also implemented other measures to align its practices with its long-standing sustainability-focused values. These include offering biodegradable and plant-based PLA mouthpieces among its customization options. Additionally, the company uses energy-efficient aqueous processing in producing its patented ceramic heating cores to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Before the product’s official launch, CCELL provided their customers and consumers with an early look at the Eco Star at TPE24 and Hall of Flowers Ventura in the US, and Spannabis Barcelona in Spain.

Disclaimer for battery disposal: CCELL does not recycle lithium-ion batteries. Battery recycling requirements may vary by country, city, etc. Please contact your local recycling center for more details before disposal.
