Technical Webinar – Fully Integrated Smart Security Technologies

BEC EnviroSeries Conference: Transforming Business for Sustainability

Date and Time

1 December 2021, 09:45 to 16:35

Venue

BEC Auditorium and Online

Synopsis

COVID-19 has reshaped the way we live our lives, forcing us to re-examine priorities, re-consider the status quo and innovate solutions to thrive under the ‘new normal’. Early on, as everyone fought the pandemic through lockdowns around the world, it was expected that sustainability would move down the list of priorities with the business sector facing certain economic downturn. In fact, we observed the opposite trend with even more ambitious actions to combat climate change, address circularity and enhance contributions to building a sustainable living environment.

Learning from this shared pandemic experience, there is an accelerated shift in business focus to long-term value creation that considers the needs of stakeholders beyond shareholders including consumers, employees and the wider society. In an increasingly unpredictable world, the expectations stakeholders have of the business sector change rapidly and companies must respond. Taking a reactive stance is not good enough. Leadership must transform to be more proactive to pre-empt emerging risks and openly embrace opportunities.

The announcement of a series of blueprints this year by the HKSAR Government on key environmental policies including waste management and resource circularity, popularisation of electric vehicles, air quality management, and carbon neutrality offers a glimpse of a sustainable Hong Kong in the future. Achieving sustainability requires multi-sector collaboration for transformative change and the business community is at the forefront of this transformation through learning, sharing and leading responsible business practices.

Objectives of the conference:

Following the June 2021 EnviroSeries Conference entitled “Redefining Business Leadership for Green Growth”, this conference aims to continue the conversation on how business transformation would enable the building of a green and sustainable Hong Kong. Specifically, the conference will

(a)    share, showcase and discuss best practices and success stories in business transformation from selected industries, and
(b)    inspire BEC members and the wider business community to push for transformational strategies and ambitious actions conducive to long-term sustainability and the creation of shared value for society.

2nd Intake CPR & AED Course第二期心肺復甦法及自動心臟除顫器課程

對於拯救心臟驟停的患者，每遲一分鐘為其進行除顫電擊，他們的存活率便會減少百分之七至十，故能越早為他們進行除顫器急救，可大大提升生存機會。香港消防處為進一步在社區推廣心臟驟停急救法，現正向公眾人士免費提供「擊活人心」- 心肺復甦法及自動心臟除顫器課程，教導公眾如何使用除顫器，以期當有心臟驟停時，附近的人可即時為其進行急救，從而提升患者的存活率。

When cardiac arrest takes place, every second counts. The best action is to deliver a shock via defibrillator. Otherwise, the survival rate decreases by 7% to 10 % in each following minute. To uplift the survival rate, the Hong Kong Fire Services Department undertakes to train members of the public in using defibrillator for free.

Event Date: 19 December 2020

Venue: Room 6, 9th Floor, Elite Industrial Centre, 883 Cheung Sha Wan Road, Lai Chi Kok, Kowloon.

對於拯救心臟驟停的患者，每遲一分鐘為其進行除顫電擊，他們的存活率便會減少百分之七至十，故能越早為他們進行除顫器急救，可大大提升生存機會。香港消防處為進一步在社區推廣心臟驟停急救法，現正向公眾人士免費提供「擊活人心」- 心肺復甦法及自動心臟除顫器課程，教導公眾如何使用除顫器，以期當有心臟驟停時，附近的人可即時為其進行急救，從而提升患者的存活率。

When cardiac arrest takes place, every second counts. The best action is to deliver a shock via defibrillator. Otherwise, the survival rate decreases by 7% to 10 % in each following minute. To uplift the survival rate, the Hong Kong Fire Services Department undertakes to train members of the public in using defibrillator for free.

Event Name

BEC EnviroSeries Conference 2020: Urban Transport on the Move: Connecting Policies, People and Business Opportunities

Date / Time / Format

27 November 2020, 09:25 to 17:00, Online

Synopsis

Transport is an important sector in Hong Kong – it enables the movements of people and goods, facilitates Hong Kong’s efficient commercial and business functions, and contributes to Hong Kong’s economic performance. At the personal level, transport supports people’s mobility needs and gets them connected.

However, unchecked growth in motorisation, over-reliance on fossil fuel vehicles and a car-centric city planning culture will exacerbate the transport sector’s impact on the environment. There are calls for rethinking the role of transport in the urban landscape and how cities should be planned so as to balance maintaining the mobility functions and to minimising externalities such as air pollution, greenhouse gases emissions and the loss of public space. 

With COVID-19 and climate change, these questions become even more valid and pressing.  It is timely and necessary for policy makers, the business sector and the general public to explore how COVID-19 and decarbonsiation will reshape urban mobility. There are opportunities to respond to the changing mobility need of people and delivery of goods as well as to transform transport operation for better efficiency and enhanced resilience.

EnviroSeries Conference is one of BEC’s flagship events held twice per year that aims to provide a cross-sector forum to discuss and address key issues related to Hong Kong’s environmental sustainability. This is now an opportune time for us to re-visit and re-focus on transport.
 

Prgramme & Registration Details:

Session 1: Planning for a Sustainable and People-centric Urban Transport System

Abstract
Small city is the goal of many city government and Hong Kong is no exception. The government has embarked on an ambitious plan to development Hong Kong “[to] embrace innovation and technology to build a world-famed Smart Hong Kong characterised by a strong economy and high quality of living” (Hong Kong Smart City Blusprint, 2017). In this respect, effort in the private sector is also pivotal and facility management plays an important role. This also echoes the core value of IFMA in innovation and knowledge sharing. However, in the development of smart city, it is not uncommon to put emphasis only on smart devices as well as the collection and manipulation of big data, the humanistic aspect of smart city is easy to be undermined. In my presentation, I shall present a human-driven approach to smart city development and discuss on how facility management can facilitate such approach. It would ensure the investment in smart devices and the utility of big data can be fully explored for the improvement of quality city life as well as to advance facility management as a driving force of social development on top of its valuable contribution to economic development.

Abstract
20 years ago the Facility Management sector was not really popular for young Engineers willing to develop and put into practice their technical and innovative skills. Most FM companies were classified and recognized in their capabilities to propose a high level of Soft Services (i.e cleaning, security, waste management).

The traditional hard services (i.e HVAC, Fire Services, lighting) was a non negotiable must have to guarantee the comfort of the users but without real added value. More hidden the better it was. Today things are different because the needs are different both for users and owners. Comfort increasing , Energy savings, traceability and transparency changed the game. Hard Services is returning to the front of the stage and the technological development has radically transformed the role of the Facility Manager and its contractors.

To embrace this new challenges Southa Holdings has operated its digital transformation to propose toits Customers innovative and technological solutions. Energy Monitoring Center (HUBGRADE), Mobility solutions, predictive maintenance are one of our In-house solutions to fit our FM customers requirements.
