Communication with Stakeholders

PolyU believes that effective communication with stakeholders is crucial to enhancing sustainable development and reaching corresponding targets. To collect feedback from stakeholders, diversified channels are made available to enable two-way communication with stakeholders. PolyU continued to collect valuable opinions from the University community and other stakeholders under the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, Professor Jin-Guang Teng, President of PolyU shared his vision on the University’s development with staff through an online sharing session.
