We are pleased to announce that the Hong Kong Council for Testing and Certification and the Hong Kong Association for Testing, Inspection, and Certification jointly organized a successful seminar on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) and sustainability on 11 April 2024. The seminar delved into the challenges faced by businesses in relation to ESG and sustainability, covering key topics such as managing ESG-related data and strategies to meet reporting and regulatory requirements.
Prof. Yu Wing-yiu, Michael, Professor of the Department of Applied Biology and Chemical Technology, was invited as a distinguished speaker at the seminar. Prof. Yu presented on the topic "How the TIC industry helps organizations to achieve and demonstrate Carbon Neutrality." He emphasized that carbon neutrality is grounded in science, and testing and certification bodies serve as independent third-party assessors to ensure objective and accurate results, providing secure quality assurance for various industries.
The seminar generated an enthusiastic response from the participants, with an engaging Q&A session that proved to be highly beneficial for all attendees. The exchange of ideas and knowledge further enriched the discussions on ESG and sustainable practices.
