Tesco customers who shop after 7pm to pay less
In a bid to prevent food waste, certain food in stores will drop down in price Tesco is reducing the price of certain items after 7pm in a bid to cut down on food waste. The supermarket giant is slashing costs on various baked goods by 50% across participating UK stores. Customers have gone online to share news of the reductions after spotting labels in the bakery aisle that tell shoppers: "From 7pm, our loose bakery products are reduced by 50%." This move was highlighted on the popular money-saving Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK, Yorkshire Live reports. A post on the page, which has over 64,000 followers, reads: "Spotted this in my local Tesco Express - not sure if all stores, but maybe useful to someone." It included a photo of discounted croissants and chocolate twists with a label specifying that the offer "excludes bread and gingerbread". As the UK continues to face a cost-of-living crisis, many shoppers will be pleased to see the 50% discount. Commenting on the Facebook post, one person replied: "Good if you have a Tesco within walking distance!" Another added: "It used to be 5pm, but they changed it to 7pm to fit in with reductions on fridge and other bakery items." When contacted, a Tesco spokesperson explained: "Markdowns on fresh products continue to be popular and help to prevent good food from going to waste." They further emphasised that unsold food is redistributed to charities, community groups, and offered free to colleagues. The spokesperson clarified that stores are marking down bakery products daily to combat food waste. "Whilst this is generally at around 7pm, timings can vary by store," they commented. Tesco sells an array of same-day fresh bakery items. The supermarket's all butter croissants, for instance, which are available in plain, chocolate and almond for £1.20 each, can be purchased for 60p with the 50% discount come 7pm. This initiative follows Tesco's recent trial of offering unsold produce with yellow stickers at no cost past 9.30pm in some Tesco Express locations. This trial is part of the store's efforts to minimise food waste. The scheme aims not only to reduce food wastage but also to support those who might benefit from it. For access to the complimentary goods, visit a participating Tesco Express after 9.30pm. Any items bearing a yellow sticker are free for customers to enjoy. Elsewhere at Tesco, shoppers have been handed a four-day deadline to win an extra funding boost for their favourite good cause across the UK. Until May 31, Tesco and the UK's leading cashback fundraising platform, easyfundraising, have come together to deliver the ' Tesco £5,000 Community Pledge '.

Banco do Brasil SA BB Brasil (BDORY) Q1 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: Strong Financial ...
Release Date: May 16, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Banco do Brasil SA BB Brasil (BDORY) achieved a net income of BRL 7.4 billion in the first quarter, reflecting a strong financial performance. The bank has successfully launched a new product, Pledge to dotrabalaur, which significantly increased payroll loan agreements, achieving BRL 3 billion in disbursements in a short period. Banco do Brasil SA BB Brasil (BDORY) has maintained a strong relationship with over 86 million clients, leveraging CRM and AI to enhance customer interactions and insights. The bank has invested significantly in technology, with a 30% increase in tech investments compared to the previous year, enhancing client experience and security. Banco do Brasil SA BB Brasil (BDORY) continues to lead in ESG initiatives, being recognized as the most sustainable bank globally for the sixth consecutive year. The bank faced increased delinquency in the agribusiness segment, which was worse than expected, impacting financial results. New accounting regulations, specifically Resolution 4,966, have led to increased provisioning and impacted net interest income. The rise in interest rates has increased funding expenses, affecting the bank's net interest margin. The bank's profitability was impacted by a significant increase in provisions, particularly in the rural portfolio, which doubled compared to the previous quarter. There is ongoing uncertainty regarding the impact of new accounting rules and the agribusiness segment's performance, leading to a revision of financial guidance. Q: What has caused the worsening in delinquency KPIs across various segments, and what level of provisions can be expected for the next quarters? A: Prince, Head of Risk Management, explained that the transition to new models under Resolution 4,966 has led to a spike in delinquency, particularly in the individual segment. The corporate segment, especially SMEs, also showed worse performance. The agribusiness segment is facing challenges due to a record crop season but with delayed payments. Provisions are expected to remain under pressure in the short term, especially until the end of the crop season. Q: How is Banco do Brasil balancing capital and dividends amid uncertainties with agribusiness and new regulations? A: Giovanni, CFO, stated that the bank is maintaining a 40% payout and is focused on controlling delinquency, especially in agribusiness. Despite challenges, the bank has managed to improve its common equity and does not foresee any difficulty in growing its assets. The bank aims to sustain growth and maintain its payout ratio. Q: Why is there uncertainty in the NII guidance, and is there any risk to loan growth given the current asset quality issues? A: Giovanni, CFO, explained that the uncertainty is mainly due to new provisions under the central bank's regulation. The impact on NII was expected, but the magnitude of provision charges was greater than anticipated. The bank is focused on curbing delinquency in the agribusiness book and growing loans, particularly in the individual segment, to offset the impact of increased benchmark rates. Q: Why did Banco do Brasil experience a greater impact from the new accounting changes compared to its peers? A: Giovanni, CFO, noted that the bank's significant exposure to the agribusiness sector, which is not as prevalent among its peers, led to a greater impact. The rural portfolio accounted for a substantial portion of the provision charges, which doubled compared to the previous quarter. Q: How is Banco do Brasil addressing the challenges in the agribusiness segment, particularly with the increase in court reorganizations? A: Giovanni, CFO, and Prince, Head of Risk Management, highlighted that the bank is actively working to renegotiate debts and improve collection processes. The bank is focusing on maintaining seniority in payment flows and leveraging its capacity to manage risks better than competitors. The bank is also engaging with regulators to address the specificities of the agribusiness portfolio under the new accounting rules.

Sentry Acquires Emerge Tools to Enhance Mobile App Delivery
Sentry will integrate Emerge Tools' product line into its application monitoring platform – creating the complete mobile app monitoring solution. Sentry announced it has acquired Emerge Tools, a provider of mobile app development solutions. Emerge Tools enables teams to deliver smaller, faster and more reliable mobile apps. Its platform powers visual regression testing at OpenAI and app size monitoring at Spotify. Companies like DoorDash have used Emerge to improve app launch speed by 60%, while Duolingo used Emerge to help delete thousands of lines of unnecessary code. According to Statista, 'mobile applications are projected to generate more than 613 billion dollars in revenue in 2025'. In a fast-growing mobile app landscape, slow loading times, excessive battery drain, and UI instability can lead to negative user sentiment and app abandonment. Emerge Tools directly addresses these challenges by giving developers the ability to proactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, optimise app size, and maintain a consistent user experience. 'Emerge Tools is a leader in mobile development, with products used by some of the biggest apps in the world,' said Milin Desai, CEO of Sentry. 'The rise of AI is reshaping how software is built and shipped, and the need for quality tooling has never been greater, especially for mobile. Adding Emerge's products and team will help Sentry continue to build the best possible platform for mobile developers around the world.' Sentry, known for error, crash reporting, and tracing tools, will integrate Emerge Tools' product line into its application monitoring platform – creating the complete mobile app monitoring solution. Companies like Anthropic, Instacart, Lyft, Riot Games, and more than 25,000 other organisations send Sentry over 4 billion mobile events a day. These Sentry customers will now be able to connect the inefficiencies surfaced by Emerge Tools down to the line of code causing lag, long load times, or unresponsive UI elements. All resulting in a smoother and enjoyable app experience for users. ALSO READ: Digital Turbine Acquires ONE Store to Globalise Alternative App Growth 'We are thrilled to join Sentry and create a world-class mobile experience for developers,' said Josh Cohenzadeh, Co-Founder and CEO of Emerge Tools. 'Together we will help mobile developers on their entire journey, all the way from their first lines of code to shipping to billions of users.' 'We're especially excited about Sentry's commitment to developers and Open Source. We look forward to further empowering the mobile community at an even larger scale,' said Noah Martin, Co-Founder of Emerge Tools. Sentry started the Open Source Pledge, an initiative that promotes Open Source sustainability and the direct funding of FOSS maintainers; Emerge Tools was one of the first companies to take the Pledge. Sentry and Emerge Tools can help mobile development teams to: Significantly improve app performance and responsiveness. Reduce app size, resulting in higher install rates and user satisfaction. Enhance UI stability and prevent visual regressions. Streamline development workflows and reduce debugging time. Deliver superior mobile experiences that drive user engagement and retention. This is the fourth major acquisition for Sentry, having acquired Specto in November 2021, Codecov in November 2022, and Syntax in April 2023. Emerge Tools was founded in late 2020 by Josh Cohenzadeh & Noah Martin. They raised funding from Y Combinator, Haystack, Upside Partnership, Liquid 2 Ventures, and Matrix Partners.

Prince Harry issues statement on 'apathetic world' days after explosive royal outburst
Prince Harry has been seen at a special event - his first public appearance since his bombshell interview, where he spoke out about his non-existent relationship with his father, the King Prince Harry has talked about "fearless leadership" in an "apathetic world" on his first public appearance since his bombshell BBC interview. The Duke of Sussex, on his son Prince Archie's sixth birthday, travelled to Las Vegas for an onstage discussion to launch a new initiative for The Diana Award. There he heralded young leaders for standing up for themselves, just days after speaking out about his relationship with his father, the King. Last week, after losing a Court of Appeal challenge over his security arrangements in the UK, the duke gave a sit-down interview in which he said the King will not speak to him and he does not know how much longer his father, who is being treated for cancer, has left. But speaking at the event in Las Vegas, he described how young people have an openness about mental health "that previous generations struggled to express". He told fellow panellists Sikander 'Sonny' Khan, from Michigan, US, and Christina Williams, from Jamaica, who are Diana Legacy Award winners: "We're in an era now where we are looking for more companies to be serving the greater good – the majority, not the minority. "Every single young person has potential. From a younger generation standpoint, in an apathetic world, there's more empathy in this generation than I've ever seen before… It's the empathy, the authenticity, the truth, the honesty and the fearlessness… "When they stand up for themselves, and stand up in their communities… That is what we need. We need fearless leadership. So I tip my hat to both of you and what you represent." The Pledge To Invest drive by the Diana Award, the charity set up in memory of Harry and the Prince of Wales's late mother, aims to encourage businesses to sign up to invest in youth leadership. Harry said: "Far too many young people are locked out of leadership pipelines because we've failed to build truly inclusive and accessible pathways.' He added: 'This generation isn't waiting for permission to lead – they are already doing it. They bring emotional intelligence, social awareness, and an honesty about mental health that previous generations struggled to express. "What sets them apart isn't just their boldness, but their refusal to settle for the status quo… If we're serious about a better future, we need to stop underestimating them and start listening." Harry's appearance comes just after he lost his Court of Appeal challenge over his security arrangements while in the UK, and said in the TV interview he "can't see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK". He expressed hopes of a reconciliation with his family and told the BBC his court defeat was a 'good old-fashioned establishment stitch-up' and that he could not see how he could bring his wife and children safely back to the UK. The duke said the protection given members of the monarchy was a form of 'control', saying: "I think what really worries me more than anything else about today's decision, depending on what happens next, it set a new precedent that security can be used to control members of the family. And effectively, what it does is imprison other members of the family from being able to choose a different life."

Blue Yonder Acquires Pledge, Expanding Its End-to-End Supply Chain Platform With Accredited Carbon Emissions Reporting
The acquisition accelerates Blue Yonder's sustainability roadmap and gives customers comprehensive insight to reduce carbon footprint and supply chain inefficiencies DALLAS: Blue Yonder , the world leader in end-to-end digital supply chain transformation, today announced it acquired the business of Pledge Earth Technologies Ltd. ('Pledge') , including its global supply chain sustainability solution for beneficial cargo owners (BCOs), enterprise supply chain leaders and logistics service providers (LSPs). Blue Yonder's already robust platform will now expand to include globally accredited logistics CO2e emissions reporting that allows customers to monitor their own emissions and those of their trading partners and suppliers. Pledge provides software solutions to empower enterprise supply chain teams and LSPs to meet their sustainability goals and Scope 3 emissions reporting requirements. Established in 2021 in the UK, Pledge brings accessibility and transparency to freight emissions measurement and reporting, empowering businesses to confidently measure, manage and help reduce their carbon footprint. Pledge's capabilities automate the collection and exchange of shipment data from logistics suppliers to facilitate accredited and traceable emissions calculations across all transport modes, including air, inland (e.g., truck, rail, barges), and sea, as well as logistics hubs. Blue Yonder customers can extend their applicable Blue Yonder solutions to include this new capability, allowing them to receive emissions reporting that is in conformance with the Global Logistics Emission Council (GLEC) framework, developed by the Smart Freight Center (SFC), and aligned with International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14083: Greenhouse gases, demonstrating accuracy and reliability. 'The ability to easily and accurately quantify precise emissions is a huge win for our customers' sustainability initiatives, but it's also more than that – it's about what you can do with that information,' said Saskia van Gendt, chief sustainability officer, Blue Yonder . 'By gaining more insight on the environmental impact of their logistics operations, businesses can find ways to reduce cost, improve accountability for logistics service providers' transportation emissions, and target specific inefficiencies for improvement. Blue Yonder's aim has always been to give customers much-needed visibility into their end-to-end supply chain; this new capability will pave the way for smarter, more efficient and greener supply chains.' Many carbon tracking tools are built to track single-party data and don't integrate into the carrier network, hence lacking the network effect and limiting the scope and accuracy of data. By embedding this data into the Blue Yonder Platform , Blue Yonder customers who choose to extend their applicable Blue Yonder solutions to include this new capability will be able to understand the timely and precise emissions impact of their supply chain decisions. This allows them to manage their end-to-end transportation and logistics practices and comply with global regulations and reporting obligations (including CSRD, SBTi and CDP) through proactive audit readiness. 'Blue Yonder's upcoming, strategic acquisition of Pledge's capabilities will aide in tackling the intricate challenges of modern supply chain and sustainability management,' said Bjoern Stengel, global sustainability research and practice lead, Sustainable Strategies and Technologies, IDC . 'In an era where corporate social responsibility and ESG initiatives are non-negotiable, accredited emissions reporting is the gold standard for high-quality data. By seamlessly integrating a proven, successful product into its platform, Blue Yonder will help propel its customers towards smarter, more impactful sustainability management.' Between avoiding empty miles, reducing fuel consumption, and utilizing resources/materials, there are countless areas of the supply chain that could be optimized through quantitative analysis, like carbon emissions tracking. With this new capability, businesses gain data-driven clarity on the carbon emissions and air pollution impacts from their operations and those of their trading partners. 'At Pledge, we believe that technology is a powerful catalyst in the fight against climate change,' said David de Picciotto, CEO and co-founder, Pledge . 'By joining forces with Blue Yonder, we are multiplying our reach and our impact, giving the largest enterprise supply chains on the planet access to the tools they need to measure, report, and cut carbon.' With a wealth of sustainability and software engineering expertise, the team at Pledge will join Blue Yonder to support its mission to transform global supply chain management. The new capability is now available to all Blue Yonder customers, and existing Pledge customers will continue to be supported by Blue Yonder. About Blue Yonder: Blue Yonder is the world leader in end-to-end digital supply chain transformation. With a unified, AI-driven platform and multi-tier network, Blue Yonder empowers businesses to operate sustainably, scale profitably, and delight their customers — all at machine speed.
