My Sustainability Goals for 2025 

1. Enhancing Circular Economy Practices – to push for greater waste reduction, recycling infrastructure improvements, and sustainable packaging adoption across retail and food industries. A shift toward a circular economy model would significantly reduce environmental impact and create new business opportunities.

2. Advancing ESG Reporting and Governance – to strengthen transparency and accountability by advocating for standardised, impactful ESG disclosures. Hong Kong’s financial and business sectors can lead by example in setting robust governance frameworks and ensuring sustainability metrics drive real change.
