BEC Celebrates 30th Anniversary with New Signature Event: CEO Dialogue

Business Environment Council Limited (BEC) launched a new signature event BEC CEO Dialogue on 27 September 2022 as one of the key initiatives to celebrate its 30th anniversary. The event aims to provide a platform for ideas exchange and experience sharing among business leaders and senior executives. CEOs from renowned companies and organisations are invited to share their insights on topics related to environmental excellence and sustainable development in Hong Kong.

Albert Wong, Chief Executive Officer of Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP), was invited to share his views on the theme of ‘Innovation and Technology on Our Net-Zero Journey for the Next Generation’.

“Leveraging the 14th Five-Year Plan of developing Hong Kong, as part of the Greater Bay Area, into an international innovation and technology (I&T) hub, coupled with the Hong Kong climate action plan 2050, HKSTP will play a key role in local and regional decarbonisation. We will assume a leading role to facilitate the collaboration between government, business and innovators for cross-disciplinary synergies and I&T solutions,” said Albert Wong.

Kevin O’Brien, Chairman of BEC, said in his opening remarks that I&T is a catalyst or enabler in the ecosystem that plays a key role along the net-zero journey. The event provides a great opportunity for in-depth conversations with CEOs about how to take business actions to achieve the carbon neutrality goal through I&T.

“Through today’s BEC CEO Dialogue, I hope we will be able to set the scene for business leaders to understand and make good use of green I&T to drive a net-zero Hong Kong,” added Simon Ng, Chief Executive Officer of BEC. —Construction+ Online
