Acer FreeSense Ring: Sleek Form and AI-Enhanced Wellness Insights On-the-Go The Acer FreeSense Ring blends a sophisticated design with advanced biometric sensing to support everyday health monitoring. Crafted from ultra-lightweight titanium alloy, the ring tracks vital physiological metrics such as heart rate, heart rate variability, blood oxygen levels, and sleep quality. The data points are analyzed through a companion mobile app, which generates personalized wellness insights and provides suggestions.

By connecting to a smartphone or tablet via a plug-in receiver, the device activates real-time, two-way voice translation powered by AI-based speech recognition and semantic analysis. Notably, only one person needs to wear the earbuds to carry out effective translation, making it ideal for casual conversations, business meetings, livestreams, or online study sessions. The earbuds also support live captioning and transcription, helping users follow conversations in real time and review them later on. The system currently supports 15 major languages spoken across Asia, the Americas, and Europe. Acer eMobility: Expanding Smart Urban and Outdoor Mobility Acer Gadget is also showcasing its latest e-scooters and e-bikes, designed for both urban commuting and outdoor recreation. These include the Acer eScooter Series 4 Select, Series 5 Select, Predator ES Storm, and Predator ES Thunder, each equipped with 400 W to 500 W motors, adaptive brake and suspension systems.

Less Carbon, More Impact: Acer's Sustainable Tech Strategy
Home » Green Tech » Less Carbon, More Impact: Acer's Sustainable Tech Strategy Acer Inc. has earned a top spot in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2024, placing among the top 5% globally. This recognition comes after a rigorous evaluation of 7,690 companies across 62 industries in the Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA). Only 780 companies made the cut — and Acer stood out. Leading in Social Responsibility What's more impressive? Acer achieved the highest score in the Social category. It outperformed peers in key areas like Customer Relations, Supply Chain Management, and Climate Strategy. These results prove Acer's commitment goes beyond words — it's in action. Pioneering Eco-Conscious Innovation The CSA report stresses the need for circular product design and full lifecycle accountability. Acer was already ahead. With its Vero line-up, the brand introduced eco-friendly devices that don't sacrifice performance or durability. Each Vero device is crafted using recycled plastics, energy-efficient components, and recyclable packaging. It's a win for performance — and the planet. Introducing the Aspire Vero 16 Unveiled at CES 2025, the new Aspire Vero 16 takes things a step further. It's the world's first carbon-neutral laptop using bio-based oyster shell material. The chassis? Made from over 70% post-consumer recycled plastic and bio-based content. This laptop is designed for sustainability across its full lifecycle — from raw materials to disposal. Going Beyond Carbon: A Biodiversity Report In 2024, Acer also released its first biodiversity risk assessment report. This milestone document evaluates how biodiversity impacts suppliers, Acer's own operations, and end-users. It's a big move toward transparency and ecological responsibility. Acer's Net-Zero Vision for 2050 Acer isn't stopping there. The company has pledged to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Its climate roadmap follows three key pillars: Business operations Products and services Value chain The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has validated Acer's GHG reduction goals. The brand aims to cut: Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 50% by 2030 (from a 2019 baseline) Scope 3 emissions by 35% by 2030 (from a 2020 baseline) Recognized by TIME and Focused on Logistics Further proof of impact? Acer was featured on TIME's World's Most Sustainable Companies in 2024. The company also collaborates with logistics providers using biofuels — including marine and aviation fuels — to cut transport-related emissions, even for deliveries to the Middle East. Between 2020 and 2022, over 40 million Acer devices used post-consumer recycled plastics. That includes devices shipped worldwide, the Middle East included. A Broader Vision for Green Living Acer's commitment extends to lifestyle innovations. These include: Energy-efficient PCs and displays E-bikes and e-scooters Energy storage systems Award-winning sustainable packaging All are designed to make green living practical and accessible. The Earth Mission App: Building Green Habits Acer wants everyone to join the journey. That's why it launched the Earth Mission App — a tool to help users build eco-friendly habits over 21 days. With each challenge, users complete 'green actions' that add up. So far, over 7,400 users have completed more than 166,337 actions — that's one green action every 30 seconds!
