Mr Brian Ho, Partner of Climate Change and Sustainability Services of Ernst & Young, gave a sharing on corporate sustainability in the Greater China Region on 31 Oct 2018.
As corporate sustainability is an emerging industry and a rather new concept that many people are unfamiliar with, Mr Ho started off by introducing what he does as a corporate social responsibility consultant. He then shared with the audience his experience of working for leading Chinese corporations in Beijing in the past. During the Q&A session, Mr Ho answered questions from students and explained how he managed to strike a balance between sustainability and profitability when working for the corporate clients, a crucial issue which professionals in the field often struggle with.
All attending staff and students were inspired. They gained a much better understanding of corporate sustainability and what the job entails.
