The Business Environment Council Limited (BEC) hosted its latest CEO Dialogue on Wednesday, bringing together industry leaders to discuss sustainability in the transport sector under the theme “Moving Beyond Mobility: Building a Resilient and Inclusive Future.”
MTR chief executive Jeny Yeung Mei-chun and BEC chief executive Simon Ng Ka-wing shared insights on innovative sustainability strategies and business practices during the event.
Ng said this year's dialogue highlighted practical approaches to decarbonisation, climate resilience and social inclusion, noting that organisations can apply these insights in their own operations while contributing to Hong Kong's broader sustainability transition. He spoke against the backdrop of growing emphasis on building a greener, more resilient and inclusive city under Hong Kong's First Five-Year Plan.
Yeung said sustainability has become an important business imperative, requiring organisations to integrate environmental and social considerations into their decisions and operations. Citing MTR's purpose to “Keep Cities Moving,” she said the corporation remains dedicated to advancing sustainability across its businesses, building more resilient and inclusive communities through innovation and technology, and supporting the city's long-term sustainability goals.
In response to strong interest from participants seeking insights into how MTR embeds sustainability across its operations, Yeung shared perspectives on low-carbon transport and emissions reduction, accessible mobility as a driver of social inclusion, climate-resilient infrastructure, and the importance of cross-sector collaboration among government, business and community stakeholders.
As a signature event for the council, BEC CEO Dialogue serves as a platform for business leaders and senior executives to exchange ideas on environmental excellence and sustainability in Hong Kong.
