Synopsis
COVID-19 has reshaped the way we live our lives, forcing us to re-examine priorities, re-consider
the status quo and innovate solutions to thrive under the ‘new normal’. Early on, as everyone
fought the pandemic through lockdowns around the world, it was expected that sustainability
would move down the list of priorities with the business sector facing certain economic downturn.
In fact, we observed the opposite trend with even more ambitious actions to combat climate
change, address circularity and enhance contributions to building a sustainable living environment.
Learning from this shared pandemic experience, there is an accelerated shift in business focus to
long-term value creation that considers the needs of stakeholders beyond shareholders including
consumers, employees and the wider society. In an increasingly unpredictable world, the
expectations stakeholders have of the business sector change rapidly and companies must
respond. Taking a reactive stance is not good enough. Leadership must transform to be more
proactive to pre-empt emerging risks and openly embrace opportunities.
The announcement of a series of blueprints this year by the HKSAR Government on key
environmental policies including waste management and resource circularity, popularisation of
electric vehicles, air quality management, and carbon neutrality offers a glimpse of a sustainable
Hong Kong in the future. Achieving sustainability requires multi-sector collaboration for
transformative change and the business community is at the forefront of this transformation
through learning, sharing and leading responsible business practices.

Objectives of the conference:
Following the June 2021 EnviroSeries Conference entitled “Redefining Business Leadership for
Green Growth”, this conference aims to continue the conversation on how business transformation
would enable the building of a green and sustainable Hong Kong. Specifically, the conference will
(a)    share, showcase and discuss best practices and success stories in business
transformation from selected industries, and
(b)    inspire BEC members and the wider business community to push for transformational
strategies and ambitious actions conducive to long-term sustainability and the creation of
shared value for society.
