Jenny Leung started to offer cultural tourism in Mexico in 2009 and is now the co-founder of a global culinary cultural-sharing platform – World Kitchen Club. The company offers live, global food & beverage events and virtual food tours, featuring chefs and mixologists, to foodies from all over the world.

She is now a lecturer at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and external advisor for Hong Kong Metropolitan University.
My Sustainability Goals for 2024:

Andy Russell
JEB Group
Group Strategy & Growth Director
Strategic Growth & Sustainability Advocate
Having spent 25 years in the office furniture industry in the United Kingdom, Andy has recently joined the team at JEB Group, where he will based at the head office in Hong Kong office.
Andy is a passionate advocate for transformative change in the office interiors sector, consistently developing business strategies that align purpose with profits. Whilst his expertise primarily revolves around commercial furniture projects – delivering some of the UK’s flagship installations – he has also pioneered innovative solutions to promote sustainability within the built environment.
Andy developed a bespoke SaaS platform that tracked embodied carbon and its movement, whilst establishing a comprehensive circular furniture recycling facility that housed over 20000 items of second-hand office furniture. These initiatives were designed to simplify the adoption of circular practices, providing meaningful data insights to customers and highlighting the positive impacts of choosing circularity over traditional linear procurement models.
In addition to his professional achievements, Andy holds executive certifications in Business Sustainability Management from the University of Cambridge and Strategic Leadership from INSEAD.
My Sustainability Goals for 2024:
- Circularity – Emphasise design for disassembly and the principles of the circular economy through keeping products and materials in use and regenerating natural systems.
- Fostering a culture of sustainability – Education is at the heart of sustainable change. Increase exposure to climate related topics across the built environment sector so that we can shift mindsets to thinking differently about decisions we make.
- Improve waste management – with a focus on circularity, reuse. We need to make a ‘circular shift’ to focusing on reusing products and materials. Identifying what we really need at the outset, with regard to, what we already have.

Through innovative designs and a strong commitment to sustainability, Mei Sze is leading a workwear industry revolution while empowering workers worldwide.
My Sustainability Goals for 2024:
Here are two key changes I would hope to see in Hong Kong:
Sustainability:
Goal: Implement a Circular PPE Economy One change I would hope to see is the implementation of a circular PPE economy in Hong Kong. This would involve:
Establishing PPE take-back and refurbishment programs to enable the reuse and recycling of PPE materials.
Collaborating with manufacturers to design PPE products that are easily disassembled, repaired, and recycled at the end of their useful life.
Investing in the necessary collection and processing infrastructure to effectively recover and reprocess PPE waste.
Incentivizing the use of recycled and renewable materials in the production of new PPE.
Educating workers on proper PPE care, maintenance, and responsible disposal to support the circular economy.
By transitioning to a circular PPE economy, Hong Kong can significantly reduce waste, conserve resources, and minimize the environmental impact of PPE throughout its lifecycle.
Inclusive Workwear to Empower Workers:
Goal: Develop Ergonomic and Inclusive PPE Designs Another change I would hope to see is the development of ergonomic and inclusive PPE designs that empower workers. This would involve:
Conducting comprehensive user needs assessments to understand the unique requirements, preferences, and pain points of diverse workers across industries.
Incorporating ergonomic design principles to create PPE that is lightweight, comfortable, and minimizes fatigue and strain on the human body.
Providing adjustable features, modular components, and customization options to accommodate individual differences in physical characteristics and abilities.
Involving workers with disabilities and underrepresented groups in the design process to ensure their needs are adequately addressed.
Establishing inclusive design guidelines and evaluation criteria to ensure PPE designs are accessible and promote equitable access.
By prioritizing the development of ergonomic and inclusive PPE, Hong Kong can empower all workers, regardless of their physical characteristics or abilities, to work safely and comfortably, thereby enhancing their overall well-being and productivity.

Sustainably leading an organisation or a project requires a delicate balance: it entails aligning financial viability with ecological and social stewardship, while harmonising today’s needs with tomorrow’s imperatives. Success hinges on the deep comprehension of our roles—what they entail and how we should fulfill them. In this session, our speakers explore the practical side of sustainability and demonstrate how the actual experience of sustainability differs from official linear stories.
Learnings:
- How can embracing the power of purpose convert vision into tangible outcomes and align teams across the company?
- What are the systems thinking approach, and how does it contribute to a deeper understanding of the interdependencies and trade-offs involved in sustainability decision-making?
Post-event Actions:
- Transform corporate purpose into a sustainability key driver
- Create a culture fostering a sustainability mindset
- Change the perspective from cost to opportunity by adopting a shared value strategy

Rethinking Workforce Transformation
In today’s business world, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) has power far beyond buzzwords. In addition to being the right thing to do from a moral perspective, there is also a compelling business case for launching DEI programmes in our workplace.
Key discussions in Rethinking Workforce Transformation will address DEI as a business and communication strategy, and why creating a culture of respect and belonging in which all employees feel empowered to contribute their best will only serve to benefit our organisations in the long term.
We will also explore the sustainability skills gap as it relates to competence greenwashing.

Kirti Lad
Meraki Executive Search & Consulting
Founder & Executive Director
Kirti is Founder and Executive Director of Meraki Executive Search & Consulting Limited.
Meraki has a very clear strategy and purpose, to increase and improve female participation in the workforce at the most senior levels.
Kirti’s expertise is in leadership hiring and development of both Non-Executives and Executives across the Asia Pacific region. Kirti is a Physics & Chemistry graduate from University College London and has worked in Executive Search and Leadership Consulting for over 20 years.
Kirti is the pioneer behind the Women’s Directorship Programme, a joint-venture with The University of Hong Kong Business School. Kirti also leads the Meraki Network, an Executive Women’s network in the region, is a regular speaker and contributor to conferences and media relating to gender diversity in Asia and is an active member of the Women in Business Committee at the British Chamber in Hong Kong.
Kirti was named as one of the Global Top 50 Diversity Professionals in Industry by the Economist Magazine over multiple years and awarded AmCham’s Women of Influence, Champion for Women award in 2024.
Kirti is the mother to two amazing children who have also found their purpose at such a young age by representing HK at the Children’s General Assembly in Billund.
My Sustainability Goals for 2024:
Hong Kong has an opportunity to lead in Asia in terms of Women on Boards. The HKEX is the only exchange in the world to mandate the removal of all male boards.
HK issuers who choose to hire more than the required one female INED will benefit significantly from the amazing and diverse female talents we have in Hong Kong. In the UK for example, “one and done” appointment of female INED’s had a negligible impact on company performance. In the UK, companies in the top quartile for gender diversity are 15% more likely to outperform their industry peers. This research also evidenced that average employee productivity growth is higher for companies that employ three or more women at board level, compared to those that have just a single female director or none at all.
This demonstrates companies with greater female representation at board level are not only able to generate higher levels of productivity and profits, as measured by returns on equity, but also higher dividend payouts to investors. Perfect reason to hire more women on boards.

According to a Reuters study in 2022, the number of Chief Sustainability Officers has more than tripled since 2021. And here in APAC, the number of green jobs has risen by over 30% in the last five years. Unfortunately, the skills and personnel needed to do these key jobs has not kept pace with demand, and we are experiencing global shortage of ESG talent and skills available globally to deliver on the green transition needed. This is leading to more executive playing up their knowledge, skills and experience on ESG and sustainability, a practice coined as “competence greenwashing.
Learnings:
- Why competence greenwashing is a problem.
- Which industries are fudging ESG skills?
- What skills and competencies do people working in ESG need?
- What is the future of ESG talent in Asia and in Hong Kong?

Mark Jackson
Reputation Works
Managing Director
Mark founded Reputation Works to help businesses of all sizes build and enhance their reputations through storytelling with a particular focus on the complex challenge of communicating around sustainability.
Mark has more than 30 years’ experience of working with some of the world’s most renowned brands – including Google, Microsoft, Apple and American Express.
He is fluent in all aspects of communications: media relations, content creation, executive comms, employer branding and internal communications, crisis management, stakeholder engagement, activation and sponsorship.
My Sustainability Goals for 2024:
If our city is going to make good on the pledges it made in the Paris Agreement, it is high time the Hong Kong SAR government put sustainability at the forefront of its policy making rather than after-thought.
This will need all of us to hold the government to account, particularly when it back-tracks on flagship policies such as the waste charging scheme.
We also need to hold ourselves to account for our behaviour aiming to reduce, reuse and recycle wherever possible, whether that’s eating less meat, travelling less often or taking the choice not to upgrade our wardrobes each season.

Zoe Lau
The Bank of East Asia
General Manager and Group Head of People & Sustainability Division
Ms. Zoe Lau is General Manager and Group Head of People & Sustainability Division at The Bank of East Asia, Limited (“BEA”) in charge of formulating people, sustainability, corporate branding and communications strategies, as well as steering related policies and initiatives of the Bank Group for Hong Kong, Chinese Mainland and branches in other markets.
Ms. Lau joined BEA in March 2020. With extensive experience in advertising, corporate communications, marketing, personal banking, wealth management, corporate planning, investor relations and corporate social responsibility, she has held senior positions in financial institutions such as American Express International and China CITIC Bank International. Prior to joining the Bank, she was Director of CEO Office of China CITIC Bank International.
Ms. Lau holds a bachelor’s degree in Social Science from the University of Hong Kong (“HKU”), and is currently a master’s degree candidate in Sustainability Leadership and Governance at HKU.
My Sustainability Goals for 2024:
The success of Hong Kong’s sustainability journey is dependent on effective stakeholder engagement. Since the banking industry plays a pivotal role in driving global progress towards net zero, and given my unique position as Group Head of People and Sustainability at The Bank of East Asia, I realise the importance of communicating and collaborating with a wide array of internal and external stakeholders across geographies, who often hold different perspectives and focuses.
It is through strong stakeholder engagement that we solicit commitment and mobilise resources from all walks of life to accelerate the achievement of sustainability goals set by Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland. In this way, we should not only be able to keep pace with developments in the European Union and elsewhere, but also contribute to sustainability efforts on a global scale.

Founder and Chief Impact Officer
Pia Wong, a social impact leader with 25+ years of experience, specializes in stakeholder engagement and measuring, improving, and communicating organizational impact.

In 2020, as part of her work for Voice for Social Good, Pia was recognized as 2020 AmCham Women of Influence nominee for “Global Issues, Local Heroes, Women Taking the Lead.”
More recently, Voice for Social Good was a 2024 finalist for the Shared Value Initiative Award for Bravery.

My Sustainability Goals for 2024:
I hope to see more businesses in Hong Kong partner with NGOs strategically to address many of the social issues in Hong Kong.
NGOs, with the support and guidance from their board members, invest more time and resources into impact measurement for better due diligence. I truly believe this will elevate trust between funders and NGOs, which in turn will increase operational funding (eg. staff salaries, capacity building) for the NGO’s long-term sustainability and impact.

My sustainability goals for 2024:
I am committed to channelling my passion serving our elders and their well-being. By combining my experience and passion in social innovation, elderly service, and brand strategy & design, I hope to be able to create a new narrative for aging and inspire positive transformation.
Aging is one of UN’s global mega trends, I hope to be able to introduce innovative aged care practices by connecting global practices and knowledge exchange. My sustainability goals for 2024-2025 are to continue to champion for elders’ well-being through meaningful engagements, provide dignified dining solutions for those with swallowing difficulties, raise awareness on positive ageing and promote social inclusion, and to support WHO’s UN Decade of Healthy Ageing.

After completing her PhD at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in 2003, she awarded with the European Commission’s fellowship to conduct post-doctoral research in Europe. She was the recipient of Sir Edward Youde Memorial Fellowships in 1999/2000 & 2000/2001. She was awarded “Best Teaching Assistant Coordinator” at HKUST in 2002. She was also the scholarship recipient of the Croucher Foundation, RAND/NIA, Wellcome Trust Fund & IUSSP. Returning from Europe, she joined the Department of Social Work and Social Administration at HKU in 2009 and took up the position of Honorary Assistant Professor in 2012-2017. During her time in HKU, she has led the team to conduct “Hong Kong Centenarian Study” and “Reaching out Dementia Caregiver Support Project (REACH-HK).” Both studies are for the first time in Hong Kong. From 2018 to 2020, her team also developed and piloted the smart version of the “REACH-HK” (REACH-HK II). She has been involving with international networks of Réseau Espérance de Vie en Santé (REVES) and International Centenarian Consortium (ICC), and International Centenarian Consortium-Dementia (ICCD) and collaborating with Centre for Genomic Sciences at HKU to examine variants at healthy longevity candidate genes, as well as developing a global comprehensive model and indicators to assess successful ageing and frailty with a multi-dimensional and inter-disciplinary approach.
In 2021, she launched a new book “Healthy Longevity: Evidenced-based Study of Hong Kong” and partnered with Yan Chai Hospital (Social Services Department) (YCHSS) to carry out a pilot study of “Holistic Healthy Life Education” non-pharmaceutical intervention for middle-aged elders with psychosomatic and cardio-metabolic symptoms. From 2021 to 2022, she and her team completed “Hong Kong Centenarian Study II” which was funded by the University Research Grants Council. In 2023, she cooperated with the Hong Kong Chinese Women’s Club Madam Wong Chan Sook Ying Memorial Care & Attention Home For The Aged to conduct a pilot project of “the Digital Version of Memory Treasure Hunt” (eMemory Kits). It aims to improve cognitive function and quality of life of older adults with mild cognitive impairment and/or dementia. eMemory Kits include two electronic devices for memory and cognitive training: (1) tablet (APP) and (2) set-top box and software (VR).
In 2024, she cooperated with YCHSS again to officially launch “The Digital Version of Holistic Healthy Life Education” (e2HLE) intervention for community-dwelling older adults aged 50 years or above with psychosomatic symptoms, and hypertension, hyperglycemia, and hypercholesterolemia. The program is a holistic health-based, person-centric and multi-component intervention, combined with the World Health Organization Integrated Care for the Elderly (ICOPE) model, and provides older adults with a self-monitoring bio-signal system “Hera Leto”, through gerontech and diverse lifestyle modification measures. The content includes a 3-month intervention, including self-care, fitness training, self-acupressure, stress and emotion management, a whole-food plant based diet, and meditation and mindfulness training. The goal is to achieve weight loss, enhance intrinsic capacities (i.e., mental and psychological wellbeing, vitality, and nutritional health), and improve cardiometabolic characteristics (e.g., blood pressure and lipid profile) among older adults.
Since 2001, she has delivered more than 140 research outputs, including books, consulting or contract research reports, working and conference papers, and peer-reviewed journal articles. She has published prolifically in top-specialty or top-generalist journals such as Demography, Population Studies, Demographic Research, European Journal of Ageing, Asian Population Studies, Genus, International Journal of Geriatrics and Psychiatric, Journal of the American Medical Directors Association, Dementia and Geriatric Cognitive Disorders, Achieve of Geriatric and Gerontology, Aging and Mental Health, BMC Geriatrics, BMC Neurology, Australian Occupational Therapy Journal, Healthcare, Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association, Innovation in Aging, International Journal of Aging & Human Development, among others. Her research has been widely cited and generously funded by the RCG and various private foundations.
