The AWE Exploration Programme —— Empowering ESG Development For SMEs
The AWE Exploration Programme enables members to discover new opportunities across different industries from the perspective of the Well-being Economy. The Ocean Park Sustainability Institute (OPSI) is a platform under Ocean Park that promotes Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles and conservation. It is dedicated to transforming Ocean Park into an education hub, focusing on nature‑based solutions, green technology, and supporting SMEs in their ESG transformation. AWE will host an event titled “Empowering ESG Development For SMEs” at Hong Kong Ocean Park. Through site visits, panel discussions, and focus groups, members will explore how ESG can generate long‑term growth momentum for businesses.
