On 17th March 2009 we celebrated our first year anniversary. Launched one year ago, we have harnessed the collective efforts being made by businesses in the fight against climate change to become the territories foremost platform for exchange of best practice amongst companies committed to reducing their carbon footprints.
Since our launch, the issue of climate change and the importance of carbon reduction in Hong Kong has increased considerably; the high level support that we receive from Hong Kong’s business community is testament to our importance. In one year we have secured the membership of 27 high-profile companies from across Hong Kong’s transport, communications, energy, property and financial services sectors.
According to our Patron Chair Mr Chun-ying Leung, “The climate change challenge is significant and requires immediate action. I have been very encouraged by how quickly CCBF has grown in one year and by our members’ commitment to reducing emissions and sharing best practice. We expect the forum to grow as climate change goes further up political and business agendas.”
We celebrated our anniversary with our members and supporting partners in the Makumba Bar. Mr. Sunny Yeung kindly performed a musical piece to celebrate the anniversary.
