As climate change affects businesses worldwide, it becomes crucial for organizations to consider its implications on their operations, strategies, supply chains, and financial performance. At THINK ESG, we offer comprehensive services that go beyond a typical business-as-usual approach. We recognize that in Hong Kong, approximately 80% of companies are Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) that often face financial constraints when accessing affordable ESG services.
Our aim is to bridge this gap by providing science-backed solutions and recommendations to pre-listed and smaller companies. These solutions enable them to decrease climate-related risks, reduce costs, enhance resilience, and foster sustainable growth. By leveraging our expertise and offering accessible ESG services, we empower SMEs to take concrete steps towards mitigating their environmental impact and embracing sustainable practices. Additionally, as the administrator of the HONG KONG ESG Club, our aim is to connect induuwe aim to provide a platform connecting partners from various industries with the common goal of tackling climate change.
Think ESG's primary measure of success will be the number of new club members added to the Hong Kong ESG Club. By 2025, our target is to expand the club by 50 memberships, representing significant growth in our network of organizations committed to sustainable practices. Through this expansion, we aim to create a platform that facilitates collaboration, knowledge exchange, and collective action, leading to meaningful and impactful contributions in the realm of ESG and climate change mitigation.
THINK ESG commits to phasing out the use of Personal Care and Cosmetic Products (PCCPs), reducing microplastic pollution within the office. By joining the Hong Kong Environmental Production Department’s (EPD) “Bye Bye Microplastic” pollution, our company aims to minimize microplastic pollution in Hong Kong. As microbeads from PCCPs are washed down drains, they may be sequested in sewage sludge, incinerated, or landfilled. Through this process, microplastics may be applied to land via leeching. Additionally, as 2-20% of microplastics end up in rivers and marine environments. Biomagnification and bioaccumulation of microbeads may lead to adverse effects on life underwater and life on land.
100 % Phase-out the use of PCCPs in business operations and replace them with Microbead-free substitutes by the year-end of 2024.
