Taken place during October and November, the three seminars covered topics on net zero, sustainability, ESG, smart infrastructure, and technologies, showcasing WSP’s Future Ready insights and commitment to the industry in innovating our future.
Our seminar series kickstarted with a full-house session themed ‘What makes a place decarbonised – our approach to net zero’ co-hosted with Business Environment Council (BEC). Following the keynote speech by Dr Lam Ching-Choi, Chairman of Hong Kong’s Council for Carbon Neutrality and Sustainable Development, our experts, including Kate Dougherty, Director and Head of Net Zero and Sustainability for Building Services from WSP in the UK and Daniel Socha, WSP’s Global Sustainability and ESG Services Lead, explored the ways to decarbonise our built environment and shared their insights on the decarbonisation journey with profound knowledge and remarkable success cases. The seminar probed into government’s effort in developing smart buildings, transport and infrastructure, as well as net-zero challenges and trends around the world such as in the UK and US, illustrating impressive projects that demonstrated WSP’s unconventional and practical solutions.
We were joined by Michelle Au, Director of Sustainability of China State Construction Engineering (Hong Kong), and Don Tse, Assistant General Manager of Hongkong Land for an interactive and thought-provoking panel discussion led by BEC’s Director of Operations CF Leung, during which we discussed the importance of ESG and sustainability on the resilience journey, and emphasised on adopting innovative technologies, effective engineering methods, and collaborative building operation to conduce more desired net zero outcomes, achieving build less, build clean and build for the future.
