El amor según la Generación Z, nacidos entre 1995 y 2010
Thu, Jun 26, 2025 02:55 EDT
Las relaciones abiertas, el poliamor y el rechazo a etiquetas rígidas de género u orientación sexual son más comunes y, sobre todo, más aceptadas entre los centennials Los datos de Gleeden, 1ª app de citas no monógamas - muestran que es la generación que más relaciones no monógamas experimenta - un 22% de ell@s afirma haber practicado - y más abierta está a la libertad afectiva La generación 'centennial' -también conocida como Generación Z, nacidos entre 1995 y 2010- está transformando profundamente la manera en que viven y entienden el amor. A diferencia de generaciones anteriores, los centennials no temen cuestionar las normas tradicionales de las relaciones afectivas; tienen un concepto más inclusivo, diverso y emocionalmente inteligente del vínculo y adaptan una redefinición de lo que significa el compromiso. Los datos de Gleeden - la primera plataforma europea de encuentros no monógamos pensada por y para mujeres, con más de 12 millones de usuari@s en todo el mundo - son claros: l@s jóvenes de entre 18 y 24 años son las personas que más han experimentado relaciones no monógamas, un 22%* de ellos afirma haberlo hecho. Les siguen las personas de 25 a 34 años - un 17% ha experimentado este tipo de relaciones -, un 14% de las personas de 34 a 44 años, un 12% de las de 45 a 55 años y un 8% en las personas de más de 55 años. "Estos datos demuestran que, para esta generación, el amor no se define necesariamente por la exclusividad ni por la duración, sino por la autenticidad del vínculo" - afirma Sílvia Rúbies, responsable de comunicación de Gleeden para España y Latinoamérica - "Por este motivo, las relaciones abiertas, el poliamor y el rechazo a etiquetas rígidas de género u orientación sexual son más comunes y, sobre todo, más aceptadas entre los centennials", añade Rúbies. En este sentido, las aplicaciones de citas, los memes románticos y las redes sociales han modificado no solo la forma en que los centennials conocen potenciales parejas, sino también cómo se comunican durante la relación. "Podríamos afirmar que esta generación está reescribiendo las reglas del amor en un contexto de hiperconectividad, diversidad y cambio constante", continúa Rúbies. Los últimos datos de Gleeden, que se desprenden del estudio "Radiografía de la no monogamia"**, afirman que la generación de los centennials se distancia de los modelos monógamos convencionales y está más abierta a explorar alternativas no monógamas y otras formas de libertad afectiva. En este sentido, el 90% de las personas opina que los centennials se relacionan con más libertad y disfrutan más de su sexualidad; y el 84% opina que en esta generación prima la exploración, la curiosidad y la apertura hacia la diversidad. De hecho, la opinión generalizada es que en el futuro no habrá prácticas sexoafectivas predominantes, y existirá diversidad relacional. "Uno de los rasgos más significativos de esta generación es su flexibilidad afectiva y su enfoque inclusivo. Frente a generaciones anteriores, que tendían a etiquetar el amor según parámetros binarios o tradicionales, los centennials abrazan la diversidad sexual, las identidades no normativas y las estructuras relacionales alternativas." ¿Qué prácticas sexuales practica la generación centennial? Los datos de Gleeden*** muestran que las mujeres de 20 a 30 años son las que más practican la masturbación individual o en pareja, y afirman practicar el sexo oral con mucha frecuencia.

Many with Health Conditions Unaware They Could Get Free Grants
Wed, Jun 25, 2025 08:26 EDT
Energy Saving Genie is urging those living with health conditions to check whether they qualify for support under UK energy-saving grant schemes. Help is available for people living with long-term illnesses or vulnerabilities that can be made worse by cold conditions, yet many don't realise that they qualify for financial assistance, missing out on opportunities to live more comfortably. Government-backed initiatives such as the Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) and the Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) provide fully funded upgrades to help improve household energy efficiency for those with health conditions. This includes insulation measures like cavity wall and loft insulation, as well as whole-home solutions such as replacing old heating systems. Unfortunately, many people remain unaware that they're eligible for support. A major reason for this, according to Energy Saving Genie, is confusion surrounding the criteria. Ofgem outlines broad eligibility categories such as respiratory disease and cardiovascular conditions, but fails to offer a comprehensive list of qualifying health issues. As a result, many people do not see their condition reflected in the guidance and assume they don't qualify. "The health criteria may look narrow at first glance, but in reality, a huge number of people qualify through a wide range of conditions, from mobility issues to chronic pain," explains Kate Hallewell, Founder of Energy Saving Genie. "Any Registered GP can make the referral, and it's entirely up to them to judge whether someone's condition fits within the recognised categories. If a GP is willing to make that call, and the applicant's council is issuing declarations, we can usually help progress the grant application from there." Energy Saving Genie has successfully helped applicants living with a wide variety of conditions including Raynaud's Disease, mobility issues, hypothyroidism, and arthritis. One applicant, a young woman living with anorexia, was told by her installer that she didn't qualify. After contacting Energy Saving Genie, she received a referral from her practitioner under the immunosuppression umbrella term and was approved for insulation measures that improved her home. To help improve awareness of health-related support schemes, Energy Saving Genie's free online grant checker includes targeted prompts asking about common - but often overlooked - conditions such as asthma, chronic pain, and mobility. These prompts are designed to help people consider the full scope of their situation and encourage them to explore grant eligibility, even if their condition appears to be unrelated to energy use at first glance. Both ECO4 and GBIS use the same health-related eligibility criteria. This means that if a household qualifies under one scheme, they automatically qualify for the other, giving applicants the best possible chance of securing vital home upgrades that could reduce bills and improve wellbeing, comfort, and safety.

PalletTruckShop Sees Green Shift: Surge in Demand for Eco-Friendly Manual Handling Gear
Wed, Jun 25, 2025 06:31 EDT
The UK's largest importer and stockist of pallet trucks and other manual handling equipment has reported a notable rise in demand for more sustainable solutions. As conversations around climate impact and greener operations grow louder, Pallet Truck Shop is noting that businesses are increasingly seeking equipment that aligns more closely with their environmental commitments. The company has seen a marked shift in buyer behaviour, with customers prioritising tools that support long-term sustainability, operational resilience, and low-energy performance. This shift is likely driven by a change in mindset. While sustainability requirements were once seen as a challenge, more UK businesses are now embracing them as a genuine opportunity. Many have realised that investing in eco-friendly equipment not only reduces their environmental footprint but can also bring practical advantages. From lower operational costs to improved flexibility and better alignment with modern customer expectations, the benefits are becoming harder to ignore. As a result, low-emission, non-electric pallet trucks and durable manual gear are no longer a niche choice or a basic solution; they're fast becoming the preferred option. Lower-energy alternatives are gaining ground at a time when companies and warehouse operators alike are rethinking how they consume resources. Pallet Truck Shop has noted a significant increase in demand for manual table trucks, manual stackers, regular hand pallet trucks, and other types of low-energy solutions. There is also growing interest in equipment that relies on hydraulic systems, compatible with the new generation of sustainable, biodegradable fluids. These products are enabling teams to reduce emissions and energy consumption without sacrificing day-to-day functionality. "We're seeing a genuine shift, not just in product demand, but in mindset," says Phil Chesworth, Managing Director of Pallet Truck Shop. "More businesses are moving away from energy-hungry automation and towards manual solutions that offer control, efficiency, and a lighter environmental impact. Businesses aren't just meeting targets; they're making conscious, strategic choices that are set to benefit them not only today, but into the future." Cost remains a powerful driver. With energy bills continuing to bite and economic conditions still uncertain, eco-friendly options often present a cheaper alternative. Manual handling equipment typically requires little or no power to operate, which means lower running costs, minimal maintenance, and fewer technical issues, all of which help protect margins in leaner times. For many firms, the most cost effective choice is also the greenest choice. However, it's not just about the bottom line. Growing pressure around ESG commitments, corporate sustainability goals, and the UK government's net-zero targets means environmental responsibility is no longer optional. Many clients now expect the businesses they work with to demonstrate real accountability. By investing in cleaner, greener equipment, companies are not only improving performance but reinforcing their values, communicating their beliefs, acting responsibly, and future-proofing their reputation.

Study: Illinois Needs 227K Homes in 5 Years to Ease 142K-Unit Shortage and Meet Growing Demand
Tue, Jun 24, 2025 11:29 EDT
Though housing in Illinois remains more affordable than many other U.S. states, it faces an existing housing shortage of 142,000 units and needs to build 227,000 new homes over the next five years to keep pace with demand, according to new research by the nonpartisan Illinois Economic Policy Institute (ILEPI) and the Project for Middle Class Renewal (PMCR) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Read the report, " You Can't Buy What You Can't Afford: Illinois' Housing Shortage and Ways to Fix It, " here. ILEPI and PMCR researchers explored the myriad of supply and demand factors that have roiled housing markets-from recent economic expansion, spikes in employment and household formation that have driven higher demand, to a historic increase in investor ownership of properties, barriers to building and development, rising mortgage interest rates and other factors that have limited household mobility and constrained housing supply. "Stable housing markets rely on finding a balance between economic and demographic factors that drive demand with regulatory policies and industry dynamics that influence supply," said ILEPI Economist and study coauthor Frank Manzo IV. "Without a stable equilibrium, families are left unable to find housing, unable to afford housing, or both. This dynamic is playing out not just in Illinois, but in a growing number of states across our country." Demand for housing in Illinois has been fueled by rising incomes, robust employment growth and household formations, and higher rates of homeownership relative to the national average. For example, the state's workforce grew by 9% between 2010 and 2024, and new household formation grew by 4% over the past five years. However, publicly-available data shows that housing supply has not kept pace. Active listings of new homes fell by 64% and the state's vacancy rate for both rental and owner-occupied units reached historic lows over the past five years, while the five-year average of new housing construction permits also fell by 13%. Researchers linked these trends with a 37% increase in the value of Illinois homes since 2019. They noted that while the cost of housing is still competitive compared to other states, rising home values have driven increases in other homeownership costs, such as insurance and property taxes. Additionally, they concluded that macro-economic factors, such five-year increase in average 30-year fixed mortgage rates of nearly 40%, and nearly a doubling of investor ownership of housing stock near metropolitan job centers such as Chicago since 2010 have also contributed to an ever-increasing cost of homeownership while shrinking the state's supply of available and affordable homes. "Regardless of where in Illinois you live, it costs dramatically more to own or rent a home today than it did five or ten years ago," said study coauthor, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Professor, and PMCR Director Dr. Robert Bruno. "Increased demand and dwindling supply are driving up home values, which in turn drives up insurance and property tax rates. Interest rate hikes have increased the cost to build new units or purchase existing homes. And the rise of investor ownership able to make all-cash offers has made it even more difficult for average households to find units they can actually afford." To assess the number of new housing units Illinois needs to stabilize the state's housing market and keep pace with demand, ILEPI and PMCR researchers analyzed three factors. First, they looked at housing unit data from the U.S. Census Bureau in the decade prior to the COVID-19 pandemic to determine how many additional homes Illinois would need to match a healthy "vacancy rate." Second, researchers examined the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey data to assess pent-up demand from "missing households"-or working-age adults living with non-relatives who might otherwise be in the housing market themselves. Finally, they examined American Community Survey data to estimate new household growth that would naturally occur over the next five years.
Mercosur Revises Food Contact Regulations for Recycled Cellulosic Materials
Tue, Jun 24, 2025 11:27 EDT
SGS, the world's leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published SafeGuardS 082.25, drawing attention to a regulatory update issued by Mercosur, the Southern Common Market, concerning food contact materials made from cellulosic sources. In April 2025, Mercosur announced the approval of GMC Resolution No. 02/25, amending GMC Resolution No. 40/15, which sets out the technical regulation for food contact cellulosic materials. The update introduces updated language regarding the presence of diisopropylnaphthalene (DIPN) in recycled fiber products. The amendment revises the language regarding the requirement for diisopropylnaphthalene (DIPN) to: 'The content of DIPN in the finished product produced from recycled fibers should be as low as technically feasible' (Annex, Part II, Point 1.2(f)). This modification reinforces the principle of minimization, reflecting a growing regional emphasis on safety and precaution in recycled food contact materials. The updated resolution must now be transposed into national legislation by Mercosur member states (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay). Bolivia, which became a full member of Mercosur in July 2024, has been granted a four-year transition period to align its national laws with the bloc's regulations. SGS issues SafeGuardS to help stakeholders stay informed of key regulatory developments. SafeGuardS 082.25 outlines the recent amendment to Mercosur's regulation on food contact cellulosic materials, including updated language on diisopropylnaphthalene (DIPN) content and its implications for manufacturers using recycled fibers. Stakeholders are encouraged to review the full SafeGuardS 082.25 for further details.

Tue, Jun 24, 2025 11:17 EDT
SGS, the world's leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published SafeGuardS 081.25, highlighting Denmark's proposed update to its national legislation on food contact materials (FCMs), which is expected to come into effect on January 1, 2026. The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration (DVFA) recently completed public consultation on a Draft Executive Order on Food Contact Materials and Penal Provisions, aimed at aligning national requirements with EU regulations while also introducing stricter domestic controls for certain materials, including ceramics, enameled articles, glassware, paper and cardboard. Key provisions include: New declaration of conformity (DoC) requirements for products placed on the market before retail Revised migration limits for lead and cadmium in ceramics and related articles Updated substance lists for regenerated cellulose films A ban on PFAS in paper and cardboard food contact articles, unless an effective barrier is in place Clear penalties for non-compliance, including fines and, in serious cases, imprisonment of up to two years The draft regulation would replace Executive Order No. 681 (May 25, 2020) and includes transitional provisions allowing non-compliant products placed on the market before January 1, 2026, to remain available until stocks are exhausted.

Tue, Jun 24, 2025 11:08 EDT
SGS, the world's leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published SafeGuardS 080.25, highlighting a significant regulatory update under the EU's REACH legislation. The adoption of Commission Regulation (EU) 2025/1090 introduces important changes. Effective June 23, 2025, this new regulation adds two hazardous substances, N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC) and 1-ethylpyrrolidone-2-one (NEP), to Annex XVII of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH), placing new limits on their use across multiple industries. These substances are commonly used as solvents in paints, coatings, adhesives, sealants, plastics and man-made fibers. Both have been recognized for their potential risks to human health, with DMAC already listed as a substance of very high concern (SVHC) since 2011. Key restrictions are as follows: DMAC and NEP will be prohibited as standalone substances and as constituents of other substances from December 23, 2026 In mixtures, their concentration must not exceed 0.3%, unless exposure controls meet stringent safety thresholds Additional restrictions for DMAC's use in manufacturing man-made fibers will apply from December 23, 2029 These measures require manufacturers, importers and downstream users to incorporate derived no-effect levels (DNELs) into their safety documentation and demonstrate that worker exposure remains below the specified limits.

Rise of Micro-Warehousing Spurs Growth in Compact Handling Equipment
Tue, Jun 24, 2025 05:15 EDT
Midland Pallet Trucks is reporting a significant increase in sales of compact pallet trucks, in what is yet another clear sign that micro-warehousing is fast becoming the go-to fulfilment model for businesses navigating the rapidly growing e-commerce market. As demand for faster deliveries and leaner operations intensifies, more companies are reassessing the way they store, move, and manage goods, prompting a widescale shift towards smarter, more space-conscious equipment solutions designed to keep pace with a rapidly evolving logistics landscape. Micro-warehousing is an emerging logistics strategy focused on the development of smaller, more localised facilities closer to customers. By moving stock nearer to the point of delivery, companies are using this model to reduce delivery distances, speed up fulfilment times, and respond more efficiently to fluctuating demand while keeping operating costs down. As these decentralised hubs typically operate within much smaller footprints, the need for specialist material handling equipment designed for compact spaces is on the rise. Among the products seeing the strongest growth at Midland Pallet Trucks are portable folding hand pallet trucks, which are small enough to store on a wall hook when not in use, and foldable platform truck lift tables, which can be collapsed flat in under 15 seconds for easy storage. Lightweight, durable, and easy to manoeuvre, these tools are well-suited to the faster pace and tighter layouts that define many modern fulfilment sites. "Micro-fulfilment is changing the rules," says Phil Chesworth, Managing Director at Midland Pallet Trucks. "Warehouses don't need to be vast, but they do need to be smart, and the right equipment is key to making that work. As the logistics industry adapts to tighter spaces and faster delivery models, we're seeing more businesses investing in compact, adaptable equipment. Our range is perfectly suited to help teams stay agile and productive in confined environments." This trend reflects a wider shift across the logistics sector. As urban populations grow and e-commerce continues to expand, companies are looking for new ways to cut delivery times while keeping warehousing costs under control. Micro-warehousing provides a flexible, scalable way to meet these needs, helping businesses protect their reputation and keep customers happy. Micro-warehousing is just one example of the broader movement towards small-footprint logistics solutions. Others include mobile shelving systems, vertical storage units, and modular racking, all designed to make the most of limited space. With rising rent prices, labour shortages, and higher customer expectations, businesses are increasingly turning to compact, scalable solutions to stay ahead.

Suncombe Delivers Advanced Effluent Decontamination System for The Pirbright Institute's Flagship Brooksby Building
Tue, Jun 24, 2025 04:32 EDT
Suncombe - the UK's longest-serving independent manufacturer of BioWaste Decontamination and Cleaning-In-Place equipment - has successfully completed the design and implementation of a sophisticated Effluent Decontamination System (EDS) for The Pirbright Institute's new Brooksby Building; a key addition to the UK's national science infrastructure. This notable project is yet another testament to the company's expertise in developing critical systems for the most complex, high-containment environments. Part of The Pirbright Institute - a globally respected research centre focused on controlling viral diseases in livestock and preventing their spread to humans - the new Brooksby Building is a 4,745 square-metre high-biological containment facility designed to support in vivo studies involving high-consequence animal pathogens such as foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV). Named after former director of the institute, John Brooksby, the facility also enables research into zoonotic viruses including Rift Valley fever and Japanese encephalitis. Suncombe's role in the project was to provide the technology needed to safely decontaminate biological waste. The design and construction of the facility were led by Kier Construction, with Suncombe responsible for delivering the advanced biosafety infrastructure required for Containment Level 4 operation - the highest level of biological containment. Drawing upon decades of experience, the Suncombe team worked closely with project partners from early-stage design reviews through to risk assessments and HAZOPs, resulting in the development and implementation of a system that integrates validated decontamination processes, fully automated control, and system redundancy to ensure uninterrupted safety, reliability and compliance with strict biosafety standards. "The Brooksby Building project exemplifies Suncombe's ability to deliver cutting-edge solutions for some of the world's most challenging and high-stakes environments," said Steve Overton, Suncombe Operations Director. "This facility required not only an advanced effluent decontamination system but a partner who could collaborate seamlessly with multiple stakeholders, adhere to the highest safety standards, and integrate innovative technologies into a highly regulated environment. I'm proud of how our team rose to this challenge, delivering a system that meets and exceeds expectations." The Effluent Decontamination System delivered by Suncombe brings with it a number of key benefits. Designed to ensure complete pathogen inactivation, the system safeguards both personnel and the wider environment from potential exposure. Its fully automated cycles guarantee repeatability and reliability, while the integrated data capture and reporting functions support ongoing compliance with strict biosafety and environmental regulations. The inclusion of energy-efficient components and energy recovery systems also brings significant sustainability gains, helping to reduce both operational costs and carbon footprint. Plus, with a modular, future-ready design, the system can be easily adapted as the Institute's research needs evolve over time, offering both immediate performance and long-term flexibility. For a more detailed look at how the project came together - from early design and hazard analysis through to final validation - the full case study is now available to view. It offers insights into Suncombe's collaborative approach, technical methodology and how the system is supporting the Pirbright Institute's ongoing mission to protect animal and human health.

Keeper Security Achieves SOC 3 Compliance, Furthering Commitment to Transparency and Excellence
Tue, Jun 24, 2025 03:07 EDT
The rigorous SOC compliance process validated Keeper Security's internal controls meet the highest industry standards Keeper Security , the leading cybersecurity provider of zero-trust and zero-knowledge Privileged Access Management (PAM) software protecting passwords, passkeys, privileged accounts, secrets and remote connections, today announced it has achieved System and Organization Controls (SOC) 3® compliance, demonstrating the company's commitment to the highest standards of security for all users. The SOC 3 report, governed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), is a public-facing certification that validates the security, availability and confidentiality of Keeper's systems. As part of an annual Type II audit process, an independent third-party auditor conducted rigorous testing and evaluation of Keeper's internal controls to ensure they meet the highest industry standards. Unlike the SOC 2 report, the SOC 3 is designed for broad public distribution, offering a high-level summary of Keeper's compliance posture and risk management practices. "SOC 3 is more than a certification - it's a public demonstration of the trust we've earned through rigorous security and compliance practices," said Zoya Schaller, Director of Cybersecurity Compliance at Keeper Security. "Transparency is non-negotiable in today's cybersecurity landscape. While SOC reports are evaluated within U.S. frameworks, this certification reflects the strength of Keeper's global security capabilities and reinforces our commitment to protecting sensitive data for public and private sector customers around the world." Keeper has earned a reputation for relentless security and compliance leadership. It is among the most audited and certified cybersecurity platforms in the industry, with the SOC 3 report building on Keeper's long-standing SOC 2 and ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018 certifications. Keeper's solutions are also FIPS 140-3 certified, PCI DSS compliant, GDPR and CCPA? compliant and TrustArc certified for privacy. Additionally, Keeper is FedRAMP Authorized at the Moderate Impact Level, as well as GovRAMP Authorized, with continued adherence to the National Institute of Standards and Technology Special Publication 800-53 Rev. 5 security control framework. The company is now pursuing FedRAMP High, the programme's most rigorous security baseline, which includes more than 400 controls designed to protect sensitive government data and support critical operations. In parallel, Keeper is working toward DoD IL5 certification, which enables cloud service providers to store and process controlled unclassified information and certain National Security Systems data - meeting strict DoD cybersecurity standards. Modern PAM That Delivers At the core of Keeper's offering is KeeperPAM ®, a next-generation privileged access management platform built for today's hybrid and cloud-first environments. Designed to eliminate the complexity of traditional PAM solutions, KeeperPAM combines zero-trust and zero-knowledge architecture to deliver fast, secure and scalable access to critical infrastructure - without the hassle of legacy agents or clunky deployments. With a single login secured by multi-factor authentication, users gain seamless access to servers, databases, web applications, SaaS platforms and remote systems - through a secure, encrypted vault. KeeperPAM replaces outdated password rotation schemes with modern, passwordless access and full session auditing. Unlike legacy vendors, Keeper never has access to your credentials, infrastructure or secrets. Its containerised, agentless gateway removes the need for on-premises hardware while providing full visibility and control through an intuitive user interface, Command-Line Interface (CLI) or isolated web browser. Built for speed, simplicity and security, KeeperPAM is ideal for organisations that need comprehensive privileged access controls - without compromising performance or user experience. From enterprises to government agencies, Keeper is empowering organisations to implement a modern cybersecurity foundation built on zero-trust principles, proactive threat prevention and independently verified transparency.

United Kingdom Falls to 12th Spot in 2025 World Citizenship Index, as Switzerland Claims Top Rank
Mon, Jun 23, 2025 08:47 EDT
UK Drops in 2025 World Citizenship Rankings The United Kingdom has secured the 12th position in the 2025 World Citizenship Index (WCI), released by CS Global Partners in their much-anticipated annual World Citizenship Report. With a score of 79.3, the UK ranks behind several Nordic nations, including Iceland, Finland, and Sweden. The Index assessed a total of 20 countries this year, with Switzerland emerging at the top with a score of 85, displacing Ireland, which held the top spot in 2024 but has now dropped to 8th place. The WCI, developed through rigorous qualitative and quantitative research, evaluates 188 nationalities across five core motivators of citizenship: Safety and Security, Economic Opportunity, Quality of Life, Global Mobility, and Financial Freedom. The final rankings are determined through a proprietary formula that combines each country's score in these pillars, weighted according to their relevance to high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs). Micha Rose Emmett, CEO of CS Global Partners, emphasized the depth and precision behind the WCI methodology, stating that the results reflect a broad spectrum of factors that matter to today's global citizens. "Our Index goes beyond simple visa-free access, it is designed to understand what motivates individuals to value one citizenship over another," Emmett said. Micha Rose Emmett further stated that another significant factor in UK's dropping ranking is a result of a notable outflow of millionaires and HNWIs in recent years, a trend that has accelerated dramatically since the announcement of non-dom reforms. As per reports, Britain saw a net loss of about 4,200 millionaires in 2023, which surged to an estimated 10,800 millionaires leaving in 2024. A Deeper Look at the UK's Performance The UK's performance marks a slight decline from last year, when it held the 9th position. A contributing factor to its lower ranking is the country's rising annual inflation, which reached 3 percent in January 2025, up from 2.5 percent in December 2024. Additionally, ongoing challenges in housing affordability, taxation, and access to public services have led many residents to explore alternative citizenship options. Despite these setbacks, the UK continues to score well in the "Quality of Life" pillar, maintaining its 6th place ranking, the same as last year. This reflects the country's enduring strengths in healthcare, education, cultural richness, and lifestyle offerings. The 2025 World Citizenship Index signals a shifting landscape in global mobility and quality of life considerations, with nations like Switzerland and the Nordic countries becoming increasingly attractive to HNWIs looking for stability, opportunity, and better living standards. Global Competition is Intensifying The 2025 WCI results reflect not only individual national performances but also shifting global preferences. Countries like Switzerland and the Nordics have demonstrated that social cohesion, low corruption, and proactive governance are now central to the definition of a valuable citizenship. The UK, while still powerful diplomatically and economically, must reckon with how domestic policies and quality of life metrics resonate with a mobile, discerning class of global citizens. Furthermore, the drop in Ireland's position despite its previous top ranking serves as a reminder that no nation's status is immune to change. For the UK, the current ranking offers both a reflection and a challenge: to address rising public dissatisfaction, implement reforms in housing and public services, and regain its competitive edge in a world where citizenship is no longer just a legal identity, but a lifestyle choice.
FDA warns on safety risks of palm leaf dinnerware
Mon, Jun 23, 2025 06:51 EDT
SGS, the world's leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published SafeGuardS 079.25, alerting manufacturers and retailers to new guidance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding safety concerns over dinnerware products made from palm leaf sheaths. On May 8, 2025, the FDA issued a letter to importers, retailers and distributors stating that bowls, plates, cups and utensils made from Areca catechu leaf sheaths may leach harmful alkaloid chemicals into food, particularly when used with heat or over extended periods. These naturally occurring compounds, including arecoline and arecaidine, have been linked to adverse health effects, such as cancer. Although often marketed as biodegradable and eco-friendly alternatives to traditional materials, these products are neither approved under any food additive regulation nor exempted, and do not qualify as generally recognized as safe (GRAS). As a result, the FDA has added them to Import Alert 23-15, blocking their entry into the US market. Companies wishing to sell these items must submit a food contact notification to demonstrate product safety. SGS publishes SafeGuardS to help stakeholders stay informed of key regulatory developments. SafeGuardS 079.25 offers detailed insight into the FDA's letter on palm leaf dinnerware, covering scientific findings, regulatory implications, and potential impacts on market access. Stakeholders are encouraged to consult the full SafeGuardS 079.25 for more information.
