Fujifilm Celebrates the Completion of One of the Japan’s Largest Bio CDMO Facilities in Toyama Prefecture
FUJIFILM Corporation today announced the completion of one of Japan’s largest bio CDMO*1 facilities (the new plant) at the Toyama Second Factory of FUJIFILM Toyama Chemical and held a completion ceremony to mark the occasion. The new plant is the company’s first antibody drug manufacturing plant in Japan and is scheduled to be operational in 2027. Together with an adjacent plant currently under construction, Fujifilm will establish end-to-end manufacturing services covering drug substance manufacturing through finished goods and packaging, serving as the company’s bio CDMO hub in Asia. The new plant is equipped with 2 x 5,000 liters (L) mammalian cell culture bioreactors, which are among the world’s largest single-use*2 bioreactors, as well as 2 x 2,000 L bioreactors. To ensure high quality and faster technology transfer between sites while reducing construction lead time, the facility adopts the “kojoX™” modular facility design approach, which standardizes equipment and quality management systems with the FUJIFILM Biotechnologies’ site in the UK. Fujifilm is establishing a globally competitive bio CDMO site in Japan that enables rapid and efficient contract manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals, such as antibody drugs and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs*3). This new site leverages FUJIFILM Toyama Chemical’s aseptic manufacturing expertise, cultivated through injectable antibiotic production, and combines it with the expertise of FUJIFILM Biotechnologies, which operates bio CDMO services in Europe and the U.S. In Japan, demand for biopharmaceuticals continues to grow, yet many pharmaceutical companies outsource manufacturing to overseas*4, creating challenges in the speed of process development and technology transfer. To address these issues, Fujifilm is building a manufacturing facility in Japan that meets rigorous global quality standards, aiming to reduce the burden of technology transfer caused by language and geographical barriers, accelerate market launch, and contribute to a stable supply of biopharmaceuticals. The new plant, together with an adjacent plant under construction for mRNA therapeutics and vaccines, has been selected by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry for the project of “Developing Biopharmaceutical Manufacturing Sites to Strengthen Vaccine Production.” This dual-use designation will allow the facility to manufacture biopharmaceuticals during normal times and switch to vaccine production in the event of a pandemic. The Newly Completed Plant within FUJIFILM Toyama Chemical’s Toyama Second Factory (the left side of the building in the photo) The Fujifilm Group offers drug discovery support solutions, including cell culture media, reagents, and iPS cells, alongside its CDMO services. It provides comprehensive support to a wide range of customers, including pharmaceutical companies, biotech ventures, and academia, from early-stage drug development through commercial production. Under the guiding principle of being “Partners for Life,” the company strives to be a trusted partner in advancing healthcare and delivering innovative therapies to patients worldwide. *1 Contract Development & Manufacturing Organization. Provides a wide range of services to pharmaceutical companies, including process development, stability testing, clinical drug development and manufacturing, and commercial production. *2 Single-use components used in biopharmaceutical manufacturing processes. Compared to traditional stainless-steel systems, single-use equipment eliminates the need for cleaning and sterilization, enhancing flexibility and efficiency, and has become widely adopted in recent years. *3 Combines an antibody with a drug such as an anticancer agent. By binding the antibody to antigens present on the surface of cancer cells, ADCs enable targeted delivery of the drug, offering high therapeutic efficacy with fewer side effects. *4 According to trade statistics from Japan’s Ministry of Finance (Export Statistical Item Classification No. 30.02), Japan recorded a biopharmaceutical trade deficit of JPY1.7 trillion in 2024. Overview of Fujifilm Group’s CDMO Business Since 2011, the Fujifilm Group has invested more than JPY1 trillion in its bio CDMO business, providing comprehensive services globally—from process development and clinical drug manufacturing to commercial production—for a wide range of biopharmaceuticals, including antibody drugs, cell therapies, gene therapies, and vaccines. FUJIFILM Biotechnologies, the core company of this business, leverages over 30 years of experience and proprietary high-productivity technologies, operating sites in the UK, U.S., and Denmark. Modular facilities and standardized processes under its kojoX™ global network enable rapid technology transfer and flexible supply chain support. To meet growing demand for antibody drugs, Fujifilm is expanding capacity at its North Carolina and Denmark sites, aiming to secure a total production capacity of over 750,000 liters by 2028.

IOI’s Science-Based Targets Validated By SBTi
IOI Corporation Berhad (“IOI”) announced that its near-term greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) on 8 December 2025, just months after submission on 11 July 2025. The validation marks a significant milestone in IOI’s long-standing climate journey. We introduced Climate Change Action initiative (CCAi) in 2019 and committed to set near-term company-wide emission reductions in line with climate science with the SBTi in 2023 for both Forest, Land and Agriculture (FLAG) and Non-FLAG sectors to strengthen our climate commitment. IOI Chief Sustainability Officer Dr Surina Ismail said: “Our focus on near-term and FLAG targets reflects where climate action matters most – on the ground. We are firmly on track to meet our SBTi’s targets through leveraging nature-based and engineered solutions to deliver emissions reductions across our diverse operations.” IOI’s SBTi-validated near-term targets underscore the Group’s emphasis on immediate and measurable action for climate mitigation: For Near-Term, IOI commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions 44.94% by FY2030 from a FY2020 base year.* The Group also commits to reduce scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services and upstream transportation and distribution 58.1% per Metric Ton of Product Produced by FY2032 from a FY2022 base year.

Gas Malaysia Berhad (“Gas Malaysia”), a member of MMC Group, organised a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Mangrove Tree Planting Initiative at Taman Rekreasi Paya Bakau Sijangkang, Kuala Langat, Selangor, as part of its ongoing commitment towards environmental conservation. The programme involved the planting of approximately 120 mangrove saplings, supported by more than 30 Gas Malaysia employees as volunteers. Mangroves play an important role in protecting coastlines from erosion, reducing the adverse impact of floods by acting as a natural protection against strong waves and rising water levels, absorbing carbon dioxide and providing essential habitats for marine life. This initiative underscores Gas Malaysia’s broader CSR framework, anchored by four key pillars – Environment, Community, Education and Sports . As an environment-focused CSR programme, it supports Gas Malaysia’s wider Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) agenda by contributing towards biodiversity conservation, strengthening climate resilience and promoting sustainable community development. Taman Rekreasi Paya Bakau Sijangkang, was chosen as the venue, a community-led mangrove conservation site that has been revitalised from a former landfill into a 24-hectare ecological and eco-tourism site. The area plays a vital role in protecting the coastline, carbon sequestration and promoting environmental awareness among the local community. Speaking about the CSR programme, President & Group Chief Executive Officer of Gas Malaysia Berhad, En. Ahmad Hashimi Abdul Manap said, “Previously, through a similar initiative, we partnered with the Kuala Selangor Nature Park where we planted around 300 mangrove saplings. These efforts not only contribute towards preserving the coastal ecosystems and biodiversity but also enable us to actively engage with our employees providing hands-on experience and exposure in mangrove conservation efforts, while fostering greater awareness as well as appreciation of the natural environment,” he said. In ensuring the success of the CSR programme, supervisors from Taman Rekreasi Paya Bakau Sijangkang will monitor the planted mangroves’ growth and survival rates over the next year. “As we continue to advance our sustainability agenda, the mangrove tree planting programme highlights Gas Malaysia’s steadfast commitment towards environmental stewardship and responsible corporate practices. We remain dedicated in ensuring that our long-term business ambitions are carefully balanced with ESG considerations, as we progress ahead responsibly,” En. Ahmad Hashimi concluded.

Yotam Ottolenghi And Mandarin Oriental To Launch Amsterdam Restaurant
Chef, restaurateur and author, Yotam Ottolenghi will return to Amsterdam in 2026 to open his first restaurant in the Netherlands, and second in mainland Europe, bringing his trademark vibrant and distinctive flavour to the city for the first time. The restaurant is set to open in early 2026 and will be located in the new Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium, Amsterdam , currently known as Conservatorium Hotel, in the city's Museum District, within close proximity to cultural landmarks such as Rijksmuseum, Stedelijk Museum, and The Concertgebouw. In January 2026, Conservatorium Hotel will be rebranded as Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium, Amsterdam and Ottolenghi Amsterdam will be a key feature of this sought-after transformation. Ottolenghi, globally renowned for cookbooks such as Plenty (2010), Simple (2018), and Comfort (2024), is making a return to Amsterdam after 30 years, having lived there in 1995. Yotam moved to the city to complete a masters before relocating to London in 1997, where he refined his culinary skills at the prestigious Le Cordon Bleu and launched the eponymous delis and restaurants. In 2002 Ottolenghi opened his first deli in Notting Hill in London and today Ottolenghi operates 10 establishments in the UK and another, the most recent addition, in Geneva, Switzerland, which opened in early 2025 at Mandarin Oriental, Geneva. This partnership now continues with the opening of his twelfth venue at Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium, Amsterdam. Yotam Ottolenghi commented: “Returning to Amsterdam is a bit of a walk down memory lane for me. In the mid-90s I lived there while studying for my master's, and it was a wonderful time - everyone sitting on doorsteps drinking wine, riding their bikes around town. I loved it! “Now, thirty-odd years later, we're opening our second-ever international restaurant within the beautiful Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium, Amsterdam, just a stone's throw from the Van Gogh Museum and not far from my old neighbourhood. The food will follow the same philosophy as our London spots: vegetables at the centre, bold flavours, plenty of ferments and pickles. I really can't wait.” Susanne Hatje, General Manager of Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium, Amsterdam added: “Since opening in 2011, Conservatorium Hotel has become a cornerstone of Amsterdam's culinary and cultural scene. In January 2026, the property will be rebranded as Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium, Amsterdam, marking an exciting new chapter in its history. At the heart of this transformation, Ottolenghi Amsterdam will offer a community-focused dining experience that brings together hotel guests and locals alike. It will be a space that reflects the energy and diversity of the city, and that deepens the hotel's connection to Amsterdam's cultural and social fabric.” Ottolenghi restaurants are known for their emphasis on fresh, seasonal ingredients and bold flavours. The new Amsterdam kitchen will follow this theme and be inspired by Ottolenghi's ROVI restaurant in London, which champions a vegetable-centric menu featuring vibrant sharing plates crafted predominantly from locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant will be open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Ottolenghi Amsterdam will bring the unique Ottolenghi culinary style to the Netherlands for the first time, served in Mandarin Oriental Conservatorium, Amsterdam's iconic glass atrium. The space will feature a warm and inviting design with rich wooden accents and striking red and gold details, blending the atmosphere of a local eatery with Ottolenghi's signature style. Further details - including launch date, head chef announcement, menu and booking information - will be released in Q1 2026. About Ottolenghi Ottolenghi began in 2002 with a single shop in Notting Hill, founded by chefs Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi, who together created a food shop, deli, restaurant and bakery – a place with no single description, yet defined by a clear obsession with food. From these roots emerged a distinctive style of cooking: one grounded in Middle-Eastern and Mediterranean traditions but welcoming influences and ingredients from across the world. Since then, the brand has expanded with multiple locations in and around London and continues to grow beyond the UK. A hallmark of Ottolenghi's approach is the championing of vegetables and unexpected ingredients—what many now call the “Ottolenghi effect”: food that is full of colour, flavour, generosity and joy. At its core, Ottolenghi is serious about one thing: making people happy through food. About Hotel Conservatorium The Conservatorium hotel is Amsterdam’s leading luxury lifestyle palace, evoking glamour and elegance for sophisticated, design-literate travellers. Located in Museum Quarter, the luxury centre and cultural heart of the city, the Conservatorium is an architectural masterpiece that combines a landmark heritage building with a graceful, contemporary design, offering guests a selection of restaurants, a bar, lounge and the 1,000 square metres Akasha. A destination hotel with a real sense of place, the Conservatorium is known at home and abroad as ‘Amsterdam’s Living Room’.

Each guest is only allowed one piece of cabin baggage (not larger than 56 x 36 x 23cm in dimension) and/or one laptop bag OR handbag OR small bag on board. The total permitted weight for two pieces of unchecked baggage must not exceed 7kg. Wishing you happy holidays and safe travels ahead!
