In recent years, the rise of women in the business world has not only reshaped the industry landscape but also demonstrated unique power in driving ESG practices. With their nuanced care for environmental protection, steadfast commitment to social justice, and relentless pursuit of good governance, women are actively leading enterprises toward a more sustainable future. This has significantly enhanced corporate market competitiveness and earned widespread recognition and respect from investors and consumers alike.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the ESG concept, during which we have collectively witnessed the pivotal role and profound impact of women in advancing global sustainable development. At the invitation of the Zonta Club of Victoria Hong Kong, Joseph Mak, Executive Dean of the Asia-Pacific ESG Strategy Research Institute (APESG), alongside numerous outstanding female entrepreneurs, business leaders, and executives, delved into how ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) has become a new engine of corporate competitiveness. He emphasized that the rise of women in business has not only transformed the industry ecosystem but also showcased unique leadership and innovative capabilities in the ESG field, serving as a critical driving force in propelling enterprises toward a sustainable future.
