Day 1 – Thursday 12 Sept

 

The sustainability agenda has evolved over time, from pollution control and social compliance to actively addressing climate change, circular economy, and liveability issues. The conventional linear economy model does not factor into environmental costs properly, and we count on governments with major responsibility to consider policy changes to meet sustainability challenges. In the past decade, corporates have started to reconsider their business models, explore if they can sustain business growth while reducing resource depletion, or even co-create wider environmental and social benefits in their operations. The latest ESG trends have prompted more businesses to embark on their sustainability journey.

This programme aims at highlighting the role of business and policy in accelerating circularity and improving liveability in our world with limited resources. A closer look will be taken at latest sustainability challenges in Hong Kong and the wider region that BEC and other partners are trying to tackle, such as the unprecedented volume of waste, nature depletion and barriers of energy transition. We will explore how business initiatives and policy instruments could contribute to solving crisis and decoupling economic growth with resource consumption. The business-policy interdependence, synergy, and very often, misalignment will be discussed in depth.

Sustainable Urban Development: Promoting Business and Policy Innovation through Public-Private Partnerships

11:20 – 12:10

Policy Address 2023 highlighted our city’s ambition towards a liveable, innovative and green Hong Kong. The use of new and innovative technologies and materials for the purposes of achieving such ambition sometimes requires innovative approach to seek approval from the authorities as the approval process are not always prescriptive under current regulations. Collaboration between public and private sectors is vital to leverage the expertise and resources of both sectors to drive approval and the success of the project. Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) emerge as a powerful mechanism to facilitate such collaboration. In this session, we would try to reveal the keys to successful implementation of the PPPs for sustainable building projects, by cases sharing by key stakeholders having experience in driving the collaboration.   

Learnings   

  • How PPPs can help in bridging the gap between public and private sectors for the success of the innovative sustainable building project? 
  • How does the business sector support the sustainability and decarbonisation ambitions by emerging themselves in PPPs?
  • What are the best practices and the major challenges in the implementation of PPPs?

Post-event Actions   

  • Understand the potentials of PPPs and explore the possibility of implementing PPPs in new project development.
  • Explore streamlined process for implementing PPPs for the success of sustainable living environments.

My Sustainability Goals for 2024:

  • Shelving the waste-charging scheme does not mean the city’s waste crisis has gone, instead, we must act stronger in avoiding waste generation at source and followed by practising clean recycling to genuinely address the waste crisis.
  • Hong Kong should do more in enhancing the building energy efficiency of the entire building stock.
  • Renewable energy, including Green Hydrogen, should be developed much faster to supply the city with zero-carbon renewables to cope with the increasing demand, otherwise even with faster transition to electric transport would not contribute much in decarbonisation.
  • We need to educate the public a lot more to raise their environmental awareness so that the majority of the population will act green continuously.

Day 2 – Friday 13 Sept AM

九月十三日 (第二天) (上午)

 

Cross-sector stakeholders are investing into under-resourced neighbourhoods, such as Kwun Tong and Sham Shui Po to uplift residents and the communities. Apart from nonprofits, public agencies and philanthropies, businesses and residents themselves have also taken the mantle up to become neighbourhood contributors, forming public-private-people partnerships (4Ps) in creating thriving communities. How might businesses operating in these neighbourhood play an active role in energizing neighbourhood development, thereby reinforcing their commitment to the “S” in ESG?

Rethinking Communities will highlight the role of unusual partnerships in anchoring a co-creation and co-caring spirit in neighbourhoods, as well as developing innovative social solutions to tackle urban challenges across Asian cities.

跨界別持份者正在投資資源不足的社區,例如觀塘及深水埗,藉此改善居民生活及優化社區。除了非營利組織、公共機構和慈善機構外,企業和居民也該肩負起社區貢獻者的責任,促成公、私、居民三方合作 (4P),共創繁榮社區。於這些社區營運的企業,該如何積極促進社區發展,加強自身在環境、社會和管治(ESG) 中對「社會」的承諾?

重新思考社區將揭示非傳統合作關係如何鞏固社區內的共同創造和關懷精神,並建立創新社會解決方案,以應對亞洲城市面臨的市區挑戰。
