23 May 2023 – PRHK has partnered with ReThink HK, Hong Kong’s best attended most ambitious business event for sustainable development. This year’s business conference and expo will take place on 14 and 15 September at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Now in its fourth year, ReThink HK is the region’s best-attended and most ambitious business event for sustainable development. More than 6,000 attendees from a range of industries are expected to join the two-day event. There will be eight separate theatres, 160+ concurrent sessions and more than 500+ speakers and panellists. The conference and exhibition will demonstrate the business case for a just and sustainable transition to a world focused on ESG, supported by real solutions that will accelerate Hong Kong towards a more sustainable and resilient future.
PRHK will organise events for the “Rethinking Communications & Marketing” morning at the People & Purpose Theatre on Friday, 15 September, featuring senior representatives from financial services, real estate, and recruitment sectors, as well as leaders in sustainability.
As corporations and organisations face increasing pressure from both a reputation and regulatory standpoint, effective communications have never been more important, and public relations consultants, marketers, and advertisers each have unique opportunity and role in helping business navigate their way to a greener and more equitable future. Speakers will shed light on their communication and marketing strategies and discuss key issues such as greenwashing vs greenhushing and talent challenges in sustainability communications.
Carbo Yu, Chairperson for PRHK, said: “With Hong Kong’s first sustainability milestone, Climate Action Plan 2030+, fast approaching, PRHK is excited to support ReThink HK 2023 and facilitate important dialogue with industry heavyweights to spotlight critical gaps that must be addressed in order to meet our carbon reduction goals. Communication and marketing play a critical role in helping business and society understand and navigate complex issues, such as sustainability and ESG, and ensure a just and sustainable world now and for future generations.”
Chris Brown, Founder and Director of ReThink HK and the ReThink Foundation said: “We are excited to grow our relationship with PRHK and enter into partnership for this year’s ReThink forum and exposition. Urgent, collective, and sustainable action needs to be taken to achieve our carbon neutrality goals and we are excited to bring together Hong Kong’s brightest minds to share and inspire actionable solutions.”
