My Sustainability Goals for 2025:

1. Electrification and clean energy adoption for Construction Sites
2. Circularity for construction industry
3. High productivity construction, e.g. MiC and MiMEP

I have worked with the focus on sustainability management, waste reduction policy and climate change related over for 20 years. A plentiful knowledge on environmental science and management of other cites regulations and policy could assist Secretary for Environment to analyze and draft policy for Hong Kong. During my almost ten-year tenure at HKSAR Environment Bureau (ENB) as the role of a Political Assistant, I participated in the process of policy making as well, like Producer Responsibility Schemes.

After stepping down from government, I have joined China State Construction and Engineering Hong Kong Ltd (中國建築工程香港有限公司) as the Sustainability Director since end of 2022. I have introduced a program to trial the use of Hydrogen Power Generation on construction sites and facilitated the industry’s largest Social Responsibility Loan of HKD 500 million in 2024.

I represented the company in professional councils and secured multiple awards, including the “Pioneer Award in Green Building Leadership (Contractor)” at the 2023 Environmental Building Awards, underscoring our commitment to sustainability.

In terms of personal public office, I am a council member (2025-2028) of the Hong Kong Institute of Qualified Environmental Professionals (HKIQEP). I am also a member of the Smart Waste Management Tool Working Group at the Construction Industry Council (CIC), and a co-opted member of the Sustainable Development Committee of the Hong Kong Green Building Council (HKGBC).
