Over 80% Optimistic About Overseas Trade, Yet Tariffs and Costs Pose Key Hurdles

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 May 2026 – To support small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in expanding into international markets, the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC) and DHL Express Hong Kong (DHL) will co-host the “Blueprint for Global Expansion: Market Entry, Logistics & Risk Management” Forum on 12 June.

Amid an increasingly complex and rapidly evolving global supply chain landscape, the forum will delve into market strategies, logistics optimization, and risk management —equipping local businesses with the insights needed to navigate challenges and capture opportunities in global trade. As the first SME-focused forum jointly launched by HKPC and DHL, the initiative marks the beginning of a series of collaborative efforts to share practical expertise and support businesses in strengthening their international presence.

From Data to Strategy: Addressing the Three Key Barriers for SMEs Going Global
According to the latest quarterly “DHL Hong Kong Air Trade Leading Index (DTI)” survey, commissioned by DHL and conducted by HKPC, the primary challenges faced by enterprises expanding overseas are: “Complex tariff and customs clearance procedures” (23%), “High logistics and delivery costs” (20%) and “lack of local sales channels/ business partners” (12%). Despite these hurdles, over 85% of air traders remain neutral or positive about overseas trade prospects. In terms of readiness, 68% of respondents reported moderate confidence, while a further 18% showed high confidence, indicating a pragmatic and risk-aware approach among businesses pursuing global expansion.

In light of these findings, the forum will address the three critical dimensions of market, logistics, and risk management, offering professional guidance and targeted resources to help SMEs formulate immediate and actionable go-global strategies.

Andy Chiang, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, DHL Express Hong Kong and Macau, said, “DHL has long been committed to supporting SMEs in navigating the complexities of international trade. Through our GoTrade programme, we provide practical tools and expertise to help businesses manage cross-border logistics and customs processes more effectively. Our collaboration with HKPC focuses on equipping SMEs with actionable insights and strengthening their operational capabilities for global expansion. We look forward to continuing our partnership to deliver knowledge-sharing and networking opportunities that empower businesses to grow internationally with confidence.”

Three Thematic Sessions: A Comprehensive Global Expansion Blueprint for SMEs
The forum is specifically designed to address the pain points identified in the survey, featuring three expert speakers offering targeted insights:

￮ Professor Roy Liang TAN, Practitioner Professor of Management and Business Strategy at the HKU Business School will provide an in-depth analysis of how to assess target market maturity, avoid common pitfalls, and leverage government funding schemes to optimise financial planning — transforming the go-global vision into a concrete action plan.

￮ Ms Julian Tsoi, Director, Marketing Communications and Direct Sales, DHL Express Hong Kong, will share insights on how businesses can leverage global logistics networks and technology to enhance customs clearance efficiency and improve operational performance, while navigating the complexities of cross-border logistics and addressing common challenges in international expansion.

￮ Mr Kenneth POON, Assistant General Manager – Business Division at the Hong Kong Export Credit Insurance Corporation, will analyse export trade risks across different stages in emerging markets and guide enterprises on using credit insurance tools to guard against bad debts and strengthen financing capabilities.

Beyond expert presentations, the forum will feature interactive networking and Q&A sessions, allowing participants to exchange practical experiences directly with speakers and fellow SMEs, and explore business growth opportunities together.

The company’s results are part of the 2025 Sustainability Report, which consolidates progress in its environmental agenda grounded in science and investment in technology

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 May 2026 – Bracell, one of the world’s leading producers of dissolving and specialty pulp, reported in its 2025 Sustainability Report that it removed 6 million tons of CO₂ from the atmosphere between 2020 and 2025 and expanded its climate monitoring capabilities through the installation of flux towers across planted forests and native vegetation areas. The progress reinforces the company’s strategy of integrating nature-based solutions with scientific monitoring to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon economy.

This result is driven by the role of forests in the company’s carbon balance. In 2025 alone, Bracell removed 3.4 million tCO₂e, with 1.8 million tons coming from planted forests and 1.6 million tons from preserved native areas. The cumulative total of 6 million tons marks important progress toward the company’s goal of removing 25 million tons of CO₂ by 2030, set under the “Bracell 2030” commitment, and reflects the maturation of its forest assets as well as the potential for scale gains in the coming years.

As part of this scaling strategy, Bracell, a member of the RGE group of companies founded by Sukanto Tanoto, intensified investments in climate monitoring technologies. In 2025, the company began installing a new flux tower in a native vegetation area within the Lontra Private Natural Heritage Reserve (RPPN Lontra), in the state of Bahia, expanding the existing measurement network across its operations.

Flux Towers: What They Are and What They Are Used For

Flux towers enable high-frequency measurement of carbon and water vapor exchanges between vegetation and the atmosphere. Equipped with sensors that capture variables such as CO₂ concentration, temperature, humidity, and radiation, these systems generate data used to improve the understanding of ecosystem carbon balance and to support strategic decision-making in response to climate change.

“Accurate measurement of carbon fluxes is a strategic differentiator for Bracell. By combining science, technology, and responsible forest management, we are advancing climate value generation and the development of concrete solutions for decarbonisation. As we expand our forest base and deepen our use of data, we also increase our capacity to capture and generate positive climate impact consistently over time. Through the integration of technological innovation and natural assets, the company consolidates its role in the global climate agenda, positioning Brazil as a key player in the low-carbon bioeconomy,” says Márcio Nappo, Vice President of Sustainability at Bracell.

“The company already uses advanced statistical models developed from field data collected in Bracell’s areas and other regions of Brazil, which increases the accuracy of estimates of stored carbon and strengthens the credibility of emissions and removals inventories. This work is complemented by the use of flux towers, which allow for highly accurate, real-time measurement of carbon exchanges between vegetation and the atmosphere. As a result, we have evolved toward a technical methodology based on real forest data, enabling us to report our results more responsibly and improve forest planning. At the same time, we remain focused on short-term results without losing sight of a long-term strategic vision, continuously seeking improvement opportunities aligned with the business and the consistent generation of value,” says Gabriela Matzner, Forest Management R&D Manager at Bracell.
