What's On

As ESG transformation becomes essential for long-term corporate success, understanding the European Union's (EU) role as a global leader in green initiatives is increasingly important – particularly for businesses in Hong Kong, as the EU is Hong Kong’s fourth largest trading partner.

At this roundtable briefing on 8 May, we are pleased to welcome two prominent French industry leaders who will share their successful journeys towards decarbonization in Hong Kong:

Norman Cheng, Chief Operating Officer of Veolia Hong Kong Holding Ltd, will discuss the firm’s pioneering practices in converting biogas into green hydrogen and their joint venture with Towngas to launch Hong Kong’s first green hydrogen project.

Bruno Botella, CEO Asia Pacific, Dragages Hong Kong, will present the firm’s award-winning efforts in sustainable construction and green innovations, showcasing how sustainability can foster business success.

This event presents an excellent opportunity to gain insights into the EU’s green initiatives and their potential impact on your business strategy. Don't miss this opportunity to learn how you can benefit from the green transition and contribute to a more sustainable future.
