My Sustainability Goals for 2024:

  • Increase impact by deploying more technology in HK to new customers which will then reduce more CO2 emissions from buildings
  • Work on at least 4 projects in HK with partners or directly that are linked to CO2 emission reduction
  • Increase awareness on usage of such technology for CO2 emissions reduction in HK universities
