People & Purpose
Overview
In the post-pandemic era, physical and mental health are emerging as a top social impact priority among businesses of all sizes. But can we rethink wellness more holistically? How can businesses capture this renewed attention and activate change also for the wider community and our planet?
Learnings
- The pandemic has taught us that wellness will remain a priority for a long time to come – in what ways should conventional definitions of wellbeing be challenged and reimagined? What are the local and global trends on this?
- What are the good-practice models to engage busy citydwellers to prioritise health and wellness to achieve shared prosperity for our people and the planet?
- How might businesses and community organisations take action together to make Hong Kong a “Wellness City” by 2030?
Post Event Actions
Rethink the potential synergies and opportunities across existing talent engagement and social impact programmes against the eight dimensions of holistic wellness: physical, intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual, vocational, financial and environmental

Yuman has over 26 years of experience working in Asia, Europe and the US in roles related to technology, change, risk management, operations and strategy.

My Sustainability Goals for 2022:
Making a better world is a focus for Bupa – we recently planted 1,000 local species seedlings on 10,000 square feet of woodland across Hong Kong’s trails. This initiative inspired me to do more away from the office too. Whenever I can, I get involved with beach cleans or litter picking when out hiking. Hong Kong’s beautiful landscape gave so much to us during the pandemic, so I believe it’s important to raise awareness with each other and for generations to come.
