Yvonne has a proven track record in high calibre stakeholder management, addressing sustainable development issues within international context. She is an experienced communicator and certified project management professional with exposures in diversified industries.

Having dedicated over a decade to advance the decarbonization agenda of hard-to-abate industries (particularly with the cement & concrete sector), Yvonne is well-versed in tackling critical sustainability issues such as climate change mitigation and adaptation, health and safety, responsible sourcing, biodiversity, water, to name a few.

Yvonne is now focusing on cultivating a collaborative environment towards co-creation of an effective public-private-philanthropy partnership (4P) framework to catalyse climate & nature actions. Apart from leading the community engagement at GAEA (Giving the Amplify Earth Action) of the World Economic Forum, she is in-charge of its events and programming of various regional activities.

My Sustainability Goals for 2025:

By prioritizing public-private-philanthropy partnerships (4P), Hong Kong can unlock greater impact and become a global model for sustainable, inclusive growth.

1. Champion inclusive, multi-stakeholder impact: Ensure the green transition benefits all by embedding social impact and workforce transformation into sustainability strategies. Use 4P models to mobilise capital and resources co-create solutions with government, business, philanthropy, and civil society.
2. Accelerate net-zero and circularity through 4P: Drive ambitious climate action by fostering 4P that support science-based targets, circular business models, and green finance. Mobilize cross-sector resources to scale decarbonization and circular solutions citywide.
3. Mainstream nature-positive, climate-resilient urban development: Leverage 4P partnerships to integrate biodiversity and resilience into urban planning—especially in major projects like the Northern Metropolis. Encourage joint investment in nature-based solutions and climate risk management.
