*Business Wire India*The GSMA today announced that the 2016 Mobile World Congress has officially been certified as carbon neutral by British Standards Institute (BSI) and was confirmed by Guinness World Records as the largest carbon neutral trade show in the world. Additionally, as part of its broader environmental initiatives for Mobile World Congress, the GSMA today named the Catalonia Pavilion, the European Commission and Mobile World Capital Barcelona winners of the 2016 Mobile World Congress Green Stand Awards. “The GSMA is committed to ensuring the sustainability of Mobile World Congress, working alongside Fira Barcelona, our exhibitors and local partners to reduce electricity consumption and waste in printed materials, encourage the re-use and recycling of materials at the venue, utilise digital signage and electronic tools, among other activities,” said John Hoffman, CEO, GSMA Ltd. “I’m particularly proud of the Donation Room, a new programme that we launched with the Barcelona City Council this year, where exhibitors were able to donate unwanted materials and furniture to help Barcelona citizens in need. It’s not just about minimising our carbon footprint, but giving back to the community that supports Mobile World Congress.” In order to become re-certified, the GSMA worked with consultancy Factor CO2 to calculate Mobile World Congress’ carbon footprint, develop a carbon management plan for reducing its impact and compensate the remaining emissions. The 2016 Mobile World Congress generated approximately 163,867 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e). It is estimated that 89 per cent of carbon emissions related to Mobile World Congress resulted from attendees travelling to and from the event, as well as their stay at the event, while the remaining 11 per cent are associated with the venue and operation of the event. As an independent third party, BSI confirmed that the sources of emissions identified and the greenhouse gas emissions are correct, in accordance with the international standard PAS 2050:2011. Further, BSI verified that Mobile World Congress is neutral in emissions, following the GSMA’s implementation of reduction measures and purchase of carbon credits to offset the remaining emissions generated during the event, in accordance with the international standard PAS 2060. Carbon credits purchased by the GSMA help finance several emissions reduction projects registered under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). These projects include a run-of-river hydropower project in the Hubei province of China and gas recovery and utilisation projects in Malaysia and Nigeria, among others. *Giving Back to the Community* New for 2016, the GSMA and Barcelona City Council developed a programme called the Donation Room, where Mobile World Congress exhibitors could donate materials such as furniture, IT equipment, office equipment and corporate gifts to local socially responsible entities at the end of the event. Exhibitors and the GSMA contributed approximately 6 tonnes of building materials and more than 150 pieces of quality furniture to the Donation Room following Mobile World Congress 2016. Fundació Formacío i Treball received furniture, which it is providing to families and individuals in need via Barcelona’s social services centers or selling in its network of stores to raise funds for employment and training programmes, while Ateneu de Fabricació de La Fàbrica del Sol received build materials for use in their centres for activities with young people. *2016 Green Stand Award Winners* The GSMA works with exhibitors to provide greater insight into and understanding of their individual carbon footprints and encourages companies to implement environmental best practices in their exhibits. To recognise and reward positive environmental performance amongst exhibitors of all sizes at Mobile World Congress, in 2015, the GSMA established the Green Stand Awards. The winners of the 2016 Green Stand Awards are:

*Business Wire India*Octapharma will sponsor a range of activities at this year’s WFH World Congress in Orlando, USA, including two symposia and a number of posters and scientific presentations highlighting Octapharma’s recent developments in haemophilia A and von Willebrand disease (VWD). The first symposium, “Simple solutions to complex issues: Addressing today’s challenges in VWD and haemophilia A” on Monday 25 July 2016, will be chaired by Professor Erik Berntorp (Lund University, Malmö, Sweden) and will explore current clinical issues in the management of patients with VWD and haemophilia A. New insights into prophylactic therapy for VWD patients will be discussed, including the management of bleeding in patients in the perioperative setting, and special issues related to VWD in women will be addressed. The latest clinical experiences with wilate^®, a high purity, double virus-inactivated VWF/FVIII concentrate containing both factors in a physiological 1:1 ratio, will be presented including its use in immune tolerance induction in haemophilia A patients with FVIII inhibitors. Major challenges in current haemophilia A treatment include the development of inhibitors and the need for frequent venous access for FVIII injection. Octapharma’s human cell line recombinant FVIII Nuwiq^® (Human-cl rhFVIII)^®, is a fourth generation rFVIII derived from a human cell line without chemical modification or fusion with any other protein and is devoid of antigenic non-human epitopes^1,2. The development aim of Nuwiq^® is to address the challenges of FVIII inhibitors and frequent infusions required during prophylaxis. The second symposium, “A focus on human cell-line derived rFVIII in haemophilia A: Update on clinical experience with Nuwiq^® in PUPs and PTPs” on Wednesday 27 July, will be chaired by Professor Craig Kessler (Georgetown University Medical Centre, Washington DC, USA) and will provide an opportunity to discuss the current complex issues in haemophilia A and the latest experience with Nuwiq^®. The risk of inhibitor development throughout the life of haemophilia A patients, taking into account factors such as age and the need for intensive treatment during surgery will be reviewed. New interim data from a clinical study of Nuwiq^® in previously untreated patients (PUPs) will be presented, as well as the importance of PK-guided personalised prophylaxis and its potential to reduce the number of infusions and bleeding rates. In addition, the following scientific posters will be presented during the congress: Nuwiq-Focused Posters:
