After being postponed twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event brought together sustainability changemakers from various industries, from finance to airlines to social impact projects, who are all working to make Hong Kong a more environmentally sound city. See below just some of the people we spoke with throughout the two-day event.

Ekomatcher, a company working to incorporate tree-planting into business models, planted 915 trees in the Philippines to create a ReThink forest which will result in 15 022 Kg of CO2 being sequestered in an attempt to make the event carbon negative. Further, a beneficiary fund was created from delegate fees, which helped to deliver over 8 000 meals to Hong Kong’s most in-need communities via FeedingHK and supply 500 people in Hong Kong, for two months with free, high-quality liquid soaps via Soap Cycling.

According to the organisers, the 2021 edition of ReThink will expand on its founder’s ambition to curate a high-value business ecosystem event which delivers immediate and measurable impact, facilitates collaboration and that leads to real action towards a more equitable and climate smart future for Hong Kong.
