How Water, Innovation, and Sustainability Are Shaping a Healthier Tomorrow

In a rapidly evolving world, the intersection of wellness, innovation, and sustainability has never been more important. This talk will explore how brands like In Lieu are embracing this shift, with a focus on the pivotal role of water in supporting our health and well-being. As wellness trends continue to rise across Asia, we’ll delve into the growing demand for conscious consumption and the increasing value placed on sustainability and ethical practices.

The founder of In Lieu will share their vision for integrating cutting-edge wellness solutions with a strong commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles. By highlighting the often-overlooked power of water in health—beyond hydration—the talk will shed light on how In Lieu’s hydrogen-enriched water and sustainable practices are redefining self-care for the conscious consumer.

Throughout the discussion, we will explore the movement toward more mindful consumption in Asia, how brands must evolve to meet this demand, and the importance of staying true to a core mission. With a focus on collective responsibility and the future of wellness, this conversation will inspire the audience to consider how their choices—whether as consumers or creators—can contribute to a healthier, more sustainable world for all.
