HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 14 March 2025 – UU Wallet, a leading global Web3 payment platform, recently announced that it has officially obtained the Money Services Business (MSB) license from the United States. This makes UU Wallet one of the few digital financial service platforms that combines robust security capabilities with global compliance credentials. The approval of this license signifies that UU Wallet can now operate compliantly within the U.S. regulatory framework, engaging in digital asset transactions, fiat currency exchange, and cross-border payments, further solidifying its position as the “most secure Web3 payment platform.”

Security and Compliance: Driving Global Strategy

The U.S. MSB license, issued by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) under the Department of the Treasury, is a critical entry requirement for international financial institutions to provide monetary services. Passing the license audit indicates that UU Wallet has met stringent U.S. regulatory standards in areas such as anti-money laundering (AML), risk control systems, and user asset protection.

Since its establishment in 2023, UU Wallet has rapidly grown into a Web3 payment ecosystem covering over 160 countries and regions, thanks to its technological innovation and commitment to security. With a team of over 100 professionals, UU Wallet focuses on four core businesses: digital currency and fiat exchange, prepaid cards, enterprise wallet services, and Web3 wealth management. Its daily transaction volume has surpassed $20 million.

Four Core Features Redefining Secure Payment Experiences

Instant Fiat Exchange, Secure and Frictionless

UU Wallet supports instant conversions between mainstream fiat currencies such as the Philippine Peso (PHP), South Korean Won (KRW), Japanese Yen (JPY), US Dollar (USD), Hong Kong Dollar (HKD), and Malaysian Ringgit (MYR), and digital currencies. Utilizing intelligent routing and multi-signature cold wallet technology, users can complete cross-border fund transfers within 5 seconds, with end-to-end data encryption and a zero-risk incident record.

Global Prepaid Cards: USDT Real-Time Circulation, Balancing KYC Efficiency and Security

Users can instantly recharge prepaid cards with USDT, which are accepted in over 160 countries and regions for both online and offline purchases. The platform supports both virtual and physical cards, as well as B2B client integration. UU Wallet’s unique “tiered KYC” mechanism allows basic consumption scenarios to complete identity verification in just 3 minutes, while larger transactions are secured through dynamic facial recognition and blockchain address tracking, striking a balance between convenience and security.

Enterprise Wallet Services: Comprehensive Fund Protection

For Web3 enterprises, UU Wallet offers payment and fund management solutions covering 50+ public chains and 10,000+ tokens. Through secure multi-party computation (MPC) technology, real-time risk warning systems, and monthly third-party audits, UU Wallet ensures transparent and traceable fund flows, mitigating risks of operational errors and hacker attacks.

Web3 Asset Wealth Management: Balancing Returns and Risk Control

The platform provides a variety of value-added services, including flexible staking, structured products, and compliant stablecoin wealth management. All products are executed automatically via smart contracts, with code security verified by top-tier auditing firms. Historical annualized returns range from 3% to 15%, ensuring users’ assets grow steadily and securely.

“Security is the lifeline of financial services,” said a UU Wallet spokesperson. “With the MSB license, we will accelerate collaboration with global regulators and traditional financial institutions, driving deeper integration of Web3 payments with mainstream economic systems.”

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach Newswire – 25 June 2026 – MET Group has published its Climate Impact Report 2025, highlighting how the company continues to balance decarbonisation, security of supply, and affordability through an integrated portfolio of gas, LNG, renewables, and energy storage solutions.

Executive Summary of MET Group Climate Impact Report 2025

The report comes amid European debates about how to preserve climate ambition while also maintaining industrial competitiveness and investment attractiveness. It describes the way MET Group’s integrated gas, LNG, power, renewables, and battery storage portfolio supports Europe’s efforts to address the energy trilemma.

The Climate Impact Report reflects a year of continued progress in MET Group’s climate journey, including growth in green electricity generation, an increased share of energy transition investments in the company’s capital allocation, and the first GHG inventory subject to third-party limited assurance.

  • In 2025, the Group increased the proportion of its CAPEX directed toward renewable energy and BESS projects to 39%. Renewable generation reached 625 GWh, supported by new solar parks in Germany and Italy, including the Group’s first Agri-PV project. MET also inaugurated one of Hungary’s largest BESS facilities at Dunamenti Power Station, supporting grid flexibility and renewable integration.

  • MET Group’s average grid emission factor across its retail power markets improved from 279 to 255gCO₂e/kWh, which was primarily driven by significant portfolio growth in cleaner markets such as Spain.

  • For the first time, MET Group’s greenhouse gas inventory has been subject to limited assurance by PricewaterhouseCoopers AG, Zurich.

  • MET Group’s climate approach strives to achieve alignment with the EU Fit for 55 framework and integrates climate-related risk management into long-term strategic planning and investment decisions. The report outlines MET’s approach to managing both physical and transition risks, while reinforcing the role of diversified assets, flexible infrastructure, and integrated trading operations in supporting resilience across evolving energy markets.
In his first Climate Impact Report statement as Group CEO, Huibert Vigeveno emphasised: “Our ambition to be a European energy champion, able to provide our customers with cleaner energy, positions us to support Europe in addressing the energy transition trilemma of decarbonisation, security of supply, and affordability – advancing the transition in a way that is commercially sustainable, operationally reliable, and affordable for the customers and stakeholders we serve.”

Huibert Vigeveno added: “Europe should move beyond framing the energy transition primarily as a climate obligation and instead position it as an industrial and technological opportunity. Sustained leadership in climate action will ultimately depend on Europe’s ability to remain an attractive hub for investment, foster innovation, and enable the large-scale industrial deployment of new solutions.”

Free Medication Counselling Service to Prevent Misuse of Medicines and Protect Public Health

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 24 June 2026 – Mannings is launching its “Safe Disposal of Unused Medicines Programme” for the fourth consecutive year. This year, the programme further expands its collection network through collaboration with six community organisations, increasing the number of collection points across Hong Kong to 75. From 26 June to 23 July 2026, citizens can visit any of the 62 Mannings stores with pharmacies (except Elements, Landmark, Uptown Plaza, and Airport branches) or 13 designated community organisation collection points to dispose of leftover or expired medications (pills only, excluding dangerous drugs, liquid medications, and Chinese medicines) in the “Unused Medicines Collection Box.”

Mannings’ Safe Disposal of Unused Medicines Programme 2026

The participating community organisations this year include the Christian Family Service Centre, Hong Kong Christian Service, St. James’ Settlement, The Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation, Hong Kong Family Community Pharmacy, and HKUMed Community Pharmacy. These organisations will set up “Unused Medicines Collection Boxes” at 13 designated service centres to facilitate proper disposal. Hong Kong Christian Service will also continue to collect the unused medicines and provide pharmaceutical knowledge directly to the elderly through its home care outreach services, promoting safe medication use.

All collected medicines will be handed over to a chemical waste collector licensed by the Environmental Protection Department and then properly destroyed at a chemical waste treatment centre. The programme encourages citizens to join hands with Mannings in safely disposing of unused medicines, enhancing medication knowledge, and safeguarding both the environment and community health. Please note that the disposal service is available only during the hours when Mannings pharmacists or healthcare professionals at community organisations are on duty. For more details, you can visit any Mannings pharmacy branch or consult a pharmacist on duty via WhatsApp (https://bit.ly/400s4sc).

Complimentary Medication Counselling Service to Educate the Public on Reducing Pharmaceutical Waste at Source
Mannings aims to address the issue at its source by encouraging citizens to develop the habit of regularly checking their home medicine cabinets. This helps prevent excessive storage of medicines, reduces waste, and minimises environmental pollution, while ensuring safe medication use. In addition to the Collection Boxes, Mannings registered pharmacists will enhance support in providing free medication counselling services to assist citizens with any medication-related questions. Citizens who have medication-related enquiries can bring their medicines to any Mannings pharmacy or consult a pharmacist via WhatsApp (https://bit.ly/400s4sc). Pharmacists will explain in detail whether medications overlap or interact, and guide proper usage to reduce accumulation and waste. The service requires no appointment and is completely free of charge.

Over 15 Million Tablets Collected since Programme Launched in 2023

As the first major community pharmacy chain in Hong Kong to pioneer unused medicine disposal services, Mannings has successfully collected and properly disposed of over 15 million tablets between 2023 and 2025. Mannings’ registered pharmacists also sort, tally, and analyse the collected medicines, helping to reduce environmental impact while gaining insights into and educating the public on proper medication practices. This reflects Mannings’ commitment to fulfilling its social responsibility as a community pharmacy and safeguarding public health.

Philip Chiu, Chief Pharmacist of Mannings says, “From the past few years of the programme, we observed that many households accumulate significant amounts of unused medicines, including those requiring completion of the entire course, such as antibiotics or chronic disease medications. When citizens fail to follow doctors’ instructions and complete the course, it not only delays recovery but may also increase healthcare costs in the long run. This year, we would like to further promote the idea of ‘home pharmacy checks,’ reminding citizens to regularly review their medicine cabinets to avoid expired or misused medicines, and to feel more reassured in medication use. ”

Chiu further states, “Community pharmacists play a vital role in this process. Beyond providing disposal services, they also educate and counsel citizens to establish correct medication habits. Through this programme, Mannings hopes to help the public understand that medication management and environmental protection are equally important, and that both can progress hand in hand to contribute to community health and sustainable development.”
