EREN Renewable, Blue Circle ink wind-power pact

 

The Blue Circle has been developing wind-power projects in Thailand since 2013 with its subsidiary The Blue Circle Thailand and its Bangkok-based team of project managers. With more than 300 megawatts’ worth of projects at different stages of development, The Blue Circle Thailand is now partnering with EREN Re to bring these projects to completion.

In addition to Armstrong Asset Management’s commitment to invest US$40 million (Bt1.37 billion) in The Blue Circle wind-energy projects, the deal signed with EREN Re strengthens The Blue Circle’s financial capabilities. Thus EREN Re will share with The Blue Circle the project-development costs and is positioned to invest up to $60 million in the wind projects themselves.

Sanofi to create five 

gobal business units 

 

Sanofi, a pharmaceutical multinational based in France, has announced plans to evolve its business with the creation of five global business units: general medicines and emerging markets, speciality care, diabetes and cardiovascular, Sanofi Pasteur and Merial. 

This new structure will be implemented beginning next January. The process of legal and social consultation will be followed as required.

Sanofi’s heritage has been formed from a combination of companies that have greater than a century of experience in the pharmaceutical industry. The company says this heritage has enabled it to deliver highly innovative treatments to address the changing needs of patients, healthcare providers and customers. 

Sanofi is now poised to achieve significant growth with the potential of launching up to six new medicines this year and approximately one new medicine every six months between 2016 and 2018, said the company.
