Topic Introduction: The concept of sustainability has received global attention as a strategic direction for human society and is gradually being recognized in Hong Kong today. In the name of sustainable development, the industrial and business sectors have started to make a conscious attempt to search for a viable model for achieving business sustainability. In the process of doing business, companies should consider not only economic profit, but also the greater need to be concerned with social well-being and protecting the environment.
