Our sustainability goals for 2023:
Committed to solving growing existential threats and societal challenges, we aim to:
Move ESG beyond reporting, and reframe narratives to enable real and sustained transformation in ESG by working with clients to distil ESG in every aspect of business, from products and services to employees and the supply chain.
Support companies in rethinking their core business models to embrace the true ethos of “sustainability”, elevating sustainability conversations beyond environmental management & short-term business goals and towards long-term societal sustainability.
Scale up the accessibility of sustainability education and facilitate disruptive learning that empowers individuals and organisations with insights to redesign society through our new EdTech platform, GIFT.ed.
Our initiative in accelerating sustainable development in Hong Kong:
GIFT’s annual Hong Kong Young Leaders Programme (HKYLP) is a public consultation platform that convenes young professionals from the Business, Government and Civil society sectors to address Hong Kong’s pertinent complex societal challenges. Through the programme, participants meet with stakeholders and experts to gain cross-sector insights to develop innovative policy solutions for the betterment of Hong Kong. Since its inaugural programme in 2015, we have developed many policy recommendations and best practices for sustainable development, such as our 2022 programme on the Northern Metropolis Development Strategy, where participants were able to develop policy recommendations to enable the Northern Metropolis to become a liveable and resilient city while meeting Hong Kong’s long term policy objectives such as its 2050 decarbonisation goals.
For our upcoming 2023 HKYLP programme, we will be examining how promoting well-being may be key to reversing brain drain in Hong Kong. Driven by events in recent years, Hong Kong people have become increasingly dissatisfied by their inability to find fulfilment, security and empowerment in Hong Kong, all of which are key indicators for well-being. As such, key groups, particularly youth, have decided to relocate to competitor cities in search of better career prospects and outlooks for their children’s future – leading to the aforementioned brain drain. The HKYLP engages participants to define well-being in Hong Kong’s context and develop a Well-being Strategy that engages actors across public, private, and civil society sectors to create a conducive environment for youth to thrive in Hong Kong. Importantly, the cohort will be invited to engage with the concept of ‘well-being’ beyond ‘mental health’. Instead, the cohort will analyse well-being on a ‘what matters most’ approach, primarily understood as the notion of one’s life satisfaction, happiness, and the ability for one to ‘function well’.

To deliver safe, ethical workplaces for workers in the global supply chain, IETP has been striving to foster industry collaboration, create impacts, increase efficiency, and reduce costs for businesses. We have set the following sustainability goals for 2023-2024:
- Invite more businesses to join our worker well-being programs, including the newly-launched Family Friendly Factory Program, for supporting factory workers’ needs. Through the provision of childcare, the implementation of flexible working arrangements, and support for breastfeeding mothers, the program not only offers tremendous business benefits for factories, but also supports children’s rights, ensures children are protected, and gives them the opportunity to thrive.
- Deliver a Gender Equality Program to address identified needs for gender equality initiatives in factories, by publishing a Gender Equality Handbook, providing an educational video series, and hosting a variety of capability-building workshops. The Program helps suppliers promote good business, empower female workers, and achieve gender equality.
- Offer an Environmental Assessment; a low cost, online and efficient tool to enable businesses to understand the environmental impact of their global supply chain. With the collection of a range of environmental metrics and the option of either using a stand-alone program or integrating the program into a buyer’s existing environmental initiative, businesses can identify meaningful trends and track progress with their stakeholders for achieving their commitments and targets.
- Empower workers’ voices and enable businesses to effectively operate and report on their due diligence processes, through our Worker Helpline service. By providing free, confidential advice and information to workers, the Helpline acts as a confidential grievance mechanism and enables suppliers to understand and identify potential hazards or workplace concerns they may have been unaware of.
