Making greener impact

Being at
the forefront of Hong Kong’s sustainable development, ReThink HK is proud to take
action and embody one of the key themes of ReThink HK 2021: “People and Purpose”.
All delegate fees of this year will be contributed to dedicated projects with the
two incredible Hong Kong charity partners, The Green Earth and ImpactHK.

The Green
Earth focuses on raising public awareness on plastic pollution issues in Hong Kong and persuade people
to use plastic responsibly. Its initiative: “Rethink Plastic” Education
Campaign, aims to show plastic’s different faces and its impacts to the
environment.

ImpactHK addresses
the vulnerable groups that are the least empowered to make changes to protect themselves
and the planet. By providing training and holistic support to people who are
living in unstable housing or homelessness, ImpactHK’s recent environmental
protection project aims to bring necessary support to Hong Kong’s vulnerable
communities.

ReThink HK
is proud to support the causes of both charity partners — fighting climate
change and the overuse of plastics, and supporting Hong Kong’s homeless and
needy.
