ESG Leading Businesses, Consumers and Global Trend, Shaping Our Sustainable Future

Mr. Joseph Mak, Vice Chairman of Bohan Financial Group & Bohan Sustainability Centre and Executive Dean of the Asia-Pacific ESG Strategy Research Institute, recently delivered an engaging talk at HKUST on "ESG Leading Businesses, Consumers, and Global Trends: Shaping Our Sustainable Future."

Joseph presented strategies for creating a sustainable future that benefits companies, investors, and consumers alike. He noted the significant growth of the ESG movement in both mainland China and Hong Kong, particularly within political and business sectors. In mainland China, the government has prioritized sustainable development, incorporating ESG criteria into national policies and encouraging businesses to adopt responsible practices. Similarly, in Hong Kong, the ESG movement is gaining traction, fueled by regulatory changes and a rising awareness among investors.

Through his insights, Joseph inspired students to engage with and influence the ESG movement, equipping them for impactful careers in a world increasingly focused on sustainability. His talk emphasized the importance of integrating ESG principles into business strategies, highlighting how the next generation can drive positive change and contribute to a more sustainable future.
