An evening well-spent!
Last week, I had the privilege of attending an incredibly insightful session organized by the Fullness Social Enterprises Society at Eaton HK. So glad to have spent an evening with my Resolve HK fellows Eva and Pinky.
ESG Insights from Champion REIT
One of the highlights was learning about Champion REIT’s ESG philosophy. Sophia Wong shared such valuable insights on how to effectively connect multiple stakeholders through meaningful community initiatives.
Evolution of "Social" in Hong Kong
Daisy Ng (FSSE’s Chief CAtalyst Officer) provided a fascinating overview of how the concept of "social" has evolved in Hong Kong-
Initially focused on purchasing from social enterprises
Progressing to corporations actively participating in generating impact
Advancing to incubating social enterprises
And now we see an increase in investments in impact-focused and impact-generating businesses
The Importance of Resilience in Social Entrepreneurship
A brief but impactful conversation with Ted (FSSE’s CEO) served as a powerful reminder of the resilience and persistence required in social entrepreneurship. It reminded my endeavor in creating meaningful impact is a lifelong journey, and not a sprint!
The session was incredibly informative. I highly recommend anyone interested in learning more about social enterprises to attend future public events organized by the Fullness Social Enterprises Society.
