The South China Morning Post’s Asia Sustainability Conference returns once again this year as a virtual conference bringing together business leaders, sustainability practitioners and policy makers from Hong Kong and across the region to discuss and debate how we can change the way we do things today to build back better in order to protect our planet and improve lives and livelihoods. Over the course of three days, experts will deliberate on key issues, growth opportunities and urgent priorities in sustainable investments, sustainable technology, and diversity and inclusion.


Last year, the inaugural conference brought together 1,600+ participants from 1,000+ organisations and 51 countries. This year, the conference expanded to three days from August 17 to 19, and aims to bring a bigger impact to a broader audience.
