The “Impact Investing for a Sustainable Future” forum was officiated and welcomed by Mr. Laurence Li, Senior Counsel and Justice of the Peace, Chairman of the Hong Kong Financial Services Development Council. Miss Lai-chong Au hosted the forum and led a fruitful discussion with Mr. Zhen-qiu Huang, Vice Mayor of the Zhuhai Municipal Government, Mr. Wilson Chee-ping Tang, Chief Executive of BOC Group Life Assurance Company Limited, Dr. William T. Smith, Chair of NGO Committee on Ageing at the United Nations in New York and Ir Prof Alan LAM, Managing Partner & CTO, Gravity Capital Partners Limited, on utilizing impact investing to create a sustainable future for the elderly.
“Population aging presents both a challenge and an opportunity.” With the current average life expectancy in Hong Kong reaching 83.7 years, the focus has shifted beyond retirement to active aging. Impact investing is dedicated to addressing social issues through investment. Speakers delved into investment strategies and shared case studies from private financial institutions, non-profit organizations, and foundations, aiming to showcase how impact investing can yield financial returns while also fostering social benefits and positive environmental impacts.
