HONG KONG, November 12, 2026 — The ESG Consortium (ESGC) proudly hosted the ESG Inclusion Award (ESGIA) 2026 Signature Luncheon Ceremony yesterday (November 12) at The Dynasty Club, Wan Chai. Convening over 120 senior executives across statutory bodies, leading property developers, banking institutions, and SME technology innovators, the landmark gathering celebrated five pioneering ventures under our core theme: “Keep Moving, Make Impact; Keep Balance, Embrace Inclusion.”
Graced by Mr. Donald Choi, JP, Managing Director of the Urban Renewal Authority (URA), as Guest of Honour, the ceremony highlighted the critical role of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in translating Hong Kong’s carbon neutrality goals and community resilience into actionable, commercially viable realities. In his keynote address, Mr. Choi shared insights on sustainable urban renewal and emphasized how agile technologies can integrate into aging urban infrastructure to elevate both environmental performance and residents’ quality of life.
