The hot topic turned eco-trend proves to be a longstanding discussion among our community.
As we dive into the discussion of climate change and the future of our planet becomes a increasing concern among the next generation, the application of sustainability is no longer a fad or eco-trend but an emmeshed lifestyle concept we apply into all aspects of our daily lives.
Zooming into the corporate realm, sustainability was heavily disregarded as a key focus and over decades, we have realized the encroaching effects of harm being done to the environment we live in by some of the heaviest polluters. Global firms have faced pressure and a significant shift to becoming green. Key leaders are rethinking their business practices to lessen the environmental impact, with the hopes to be an exemplary role model and staying consciously aware in the industries they thrive.
What does it take to build sustainable practices in the business world, and where we can strike a chord for doing good with people and our planet? How can we become more socially responsible in our daily lives? Whether we look at applying sustainable solutions in our cities or outlooking to larger regions where small and large businesses thrive, sharing global insight on responsible strategies are paramount not only to thrive, but to leave the community live in maintained for the next generation.
We have rounded up some events and forums coming up in Hong Kong where the topic has become a key concern, and a place to meet like-minded individuals to exchange and cultivate propositions together.
It’s time to ReThink! Hong Kong’s best attended and most ambitious business event for sustainable development will be held on 5-6 October at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre.
