BRITAIN’S largest retailer, Tesco, said on Monday (9) that it was looking to sell its businesses in Thailand and Malaysia.

The latest move by the British supermarket chain has come as chief executive Dave Lewis prepares to step down next year.

He has overseen a major overhaul at Tesco during his five years at the top position, slashing thousands of jobs as part of a massive cost-cutting programme.

The company in a brief statement to the London Stock Exchange said: "Tesco... confirms that, following inbound interest, it has commenced a review of the strategic options for its businesses in Thailand and Malaysia, including an evaluation of a possible sale of these businesses."

"The evaluation of strategic options is at an early stage, no decisions concerning the future of Tesco Thailand or Malaysia have been taken, and there can be no assurance that any transaction will be concluded.”

Shell to exit UK and European onshore renewables business through TotalEnergies deal

  • Shell has agreed to sell its onshore renewables portfolio across the UK and Europe to TotalEnergies.
  • The deal includes operating solar and wind assets as well as a pipeline of renewable energy projects.
  • The move continues Shell's shift away from lower-return renewable investments towards its core energy business.

Shell has agreed to sell its European onshore renewables business, including assets in the UK, to TotalEnergies as the FTSE 100 energy giant continues to reshape its portfolio around businesses it believes can deliver stronger long-term returns.

The agreement covers renewable energy assets across the UK, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands. It includes around 500 megawatts of solar and wind capacity already in operation or under construction, alongside a wider pipeline of solar, wind and battery storage projects. The transaction remains subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to complete by the end of 2026.
