My Sustainability Goals for 2026:

• To help accelerate the decarbonisation of the built environment through circular, energy-efficient and low-carbon construction solutions. I believe sustainable innovation must create value while reducing environmental impact.
• The change I hope to see in Hong Kong and across Asia is a stronger collective commitment to climate action, recognising that tackling climate change is a shared global responsibility. By working together across continents, industries and communities, we can accelerate the transition towards resilient, low-carbon and sustainable cities.

Sales & Marketing Consultant

Having lived in Spain for over a decade, my goal has always been served as a bridge facilitating economic, trade, and cultural exchange between East and West, while dedicating myself to pioneering new products and developing new channels in the green materials sector.
Understand the diverse contexts regarding new materials across the Asia-Pacific region and the solutions tailored to each market.
From natural origins to eco-friendliness, and from manufacturing to application, I remain committed to striking a balance among environmental sustainability, innovation, aesthetics, and practicality in our product.

My Sustainability Goals for 2026:

• Keep doing the recycle at home (we’ve been always separate the kitchen waste/plastics/paper but as far as I know when it goes to the trash trunk, is does not being handled properly, i think this is a point for government to improve)
• Donating TNC and joining activities for ocean animal saving and beach cleaning
• Always bring my own coffee cups to take away
