Chamber members had the privilege of hearing from Mary Lau, Executive Director at the Hong Kong Business Ethics Development Centre of the ICAC, on 14 August.

The visit, which was organized by the Europe Committee, delved into Hong Kong’s probity landscape and explored how both public and private sectors can join forces to champion business integrity. We also learnt that, according to ICAC’s annual survey, the public has zero tolerance towards corruption.

We then took our learning to another level with a fascinating tour of the video interview room and identification parade suite, stepping into the roles of suspects and witnesses, which added a unique twist to our journey.

The day wrapped up with a look around the Exhibition Hall on site, where we travelled back through 50 years of Hong Kong’s anti-corruption milestones, followed by a stop at ICAC’s Café “1974” for great coffee and conversation.
