Sunday Times Rich List reveals richest person in Scotland worth £7.7 billion
According to the the Sunday Times Rich List, the CEO and the largest shareholder of the international retail clothing chain ASOS has seen an increase in his wealth of £974m, bringing his net worth to £7.704bn. Clothing billionaire Anders Holch Povlen has been named as the richest man in Scotland. According to the the Sunday Times Rich List, the CEO of Bestseller (which owns Vero, Moda and Jack Jones) and the largest shareholder of the international retail clothing chain ASOS has seen an increase in his wealth of £974m, bringing his net worth to £7.704bn. Glenn Gordon and family came second in the list of rich Scots with £6.398 billion in wealth, down £779 million. The family own the William Grant & Sons whisky dynasty, while Harry Potter author JK Rowling sits in eighth place with £945 million personal wealth. Media and television personality Georgia Toffolo, who is married to BrewDog entrepreneur James Watt, ranked top in Scotland for the richest richest under 40s category with a family wealth of £425m." In the UK as a whole, Gopi Hinduja and family topped the rich list for the third year in a row with £35.304 billion wealth. The 76-page special edition of The Sunday Times Magazine reveals the largest fall in the billionaire count in the guide's 37-year history, from a peak of 177 in 2022 to 156 this year. The number of billionaires has dropped for three successive years – but this year's decline is the sharpest yet. This year's list of 350 individuals and families together hold combined wealth of £772.8 billion — three per cent down on last year. Sir Elton John, Lord Lloyd-Webber, Sir Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Euan Blair, Sir Lewis Hamilton and Sir Christopher Nolan all appear in the annual survey. The combined wealth in the 37th annual edition of £772.8 billion is a sum larger than the annual GDP of Switzerland. The minimum entry level flatlines at £350 million — another indicator of a subdued year. Robert Watts, compiler of the Sunday Times Rich List, said: 'The Sunday Times Rich List is changing. Our billionaire count is down and the combined wealth of those who feature in our research is falling. We are also finding fewer of the world's super rich are coming to live in the UK. 'This year we were also struck by the strength of criticism for Rachel Reeves's Treasury. We expected the abolition of non-dom status would anger affluent people from overseas. But homegrown young tech entrepreneurs and those running centuries-old family firms are also warning of serious consequences to a range of tax changes unveiled in last October's budget. 'Our research continues to find a wide variety of self-made entrepreneurs building fortunes not just from artificial intelligence, video games and new technologies but also mundane, everyday items such as makeup, radiators and jogging bottoms. 'We know many of our readers find these people and their stories inspiring — especially the many who had tough starts or setbacks to their lives and careers.' Ineos chairman and Manchester United shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe has suffered considerable losses for a consecutive year with a £6.473 billion decline in wealth. Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson are valued at an estimated £450 million thanks to their deal ceding creative control of James Bond to Amazon MGM Studios.

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.
