My Sustainability Goals for 2024:

– More government-led initiatives for companies in HK, eg grants, programs and preferential procurement from greener suppliers
– More examples of Queen Bee ecosystems in HK and Greater China, whereby large corporates lead their network of suppliers and vendors to be on the sustainability journey together
