Pru Life UK and Humble Sustainability join forces to champion responsible e-waste disposal and digital inclusion

Tackling climate change and bridging the digital divide, Pru Life UK has partnered with leading climate health technology start-up Humble Sustainability to redefine the future of electronic waste.

Through the principles of a circular economy, the partnership showcases how sustainability can create lasting social impact while protecting the planet.

As part of this pioneering collaboration, Pru Life UK’s unused company IT assets will be brought back into circularity by undergoing Humble’s reselling program with its extensive network of buyers. In its first month of the partnership, Pru Life UK has generated over Php 240K from its revenue share and is expecting additional batches of IT assets in the coming months along with devices and equipment donated by its employees. All proceeds from the sale will supplement the purchase of electronic devices to be donated to the company’s chosen community madrasahs (Islamic schools) in Mindanao as part of its Adopt-a-Madrasah programme.

New Year, New Beginnings: Making Your Future Brighter This 2025

The New Year is always full of promise - a blank slate to create new goals, embrace positive changes, and nurture what matters most. While we often think about career or financial targets during this time, it is equally important to focus on overall wellness and the ways we can protect and care for our loved ones.

As you step into 2025, consider these ideas to ensure a balanced and fulfilling year ahead:

1. Prioritize your family’s future and wellness

A happy family begins with a healthy one. This year, focus on strengthening bonds and creating opportunities for connection, whether it is sharing family meals, scheduling time to unplug from technology, or exploring new outdoor activities together.

2. Align financial and health goals

While setting financial goals for the year, do not forget to align them with what truly matters. Saving for a dream vacation, enrolling in family fitness programs, or improving your diet are worthwhile investments into wellness and shared experiences. These are just as vital as balancing the budget or paying off debts, and they contribute to both your personal and financial well-being.

3. Find balance between growth and rest

The New Year often comes with the pressure to hustle harder and achieve more, but real growth happens when we make time to rest, reflect, and recharge. Balance is the key to wellness. This year, commit to setting boundaries—whether it’s making time for self-care or ensuring weekends are dedicated to family rather than chores. Taking care of yourself equips you to better care for those you love.

4. Focus on building a meaningful legacy

Wellness is not just about living well today - it’s about creating a life of meaning that lasts for generations. Financial security plays a vital role in this. Protecting your wealth nurtures opportunities for your children and their future. Whether it’s funding their education, helping them pursue their dreams, or teaching them the value of financial responsibility, these are gifts that go beyond material wealth to shape a brighter legacy.

5. Celebrate small wins and big moments

In the rush to meet goals, don’t forget to pause and celebrate. Every step forward—no matter how small—is a reason to be proud. Whether it’s learning something new, enjoying quality time with loved ones, or simply completing a task you have been putting off, these moments add up to a meaningful year.
