iconic Fringe Club in Central this June. This unique exhibition showcases how sustainability, cultural heritage, and creative expression come together.\r\n\r\nSince late last year, our Centre has been working with a group of emerging artists where they embarked on an incubation journey in the 300-year-old Hakka village of Lai Chi Wo. Drawing inspiration from the village&#039;s rich heritage and landscape, 15 artists have translated their experiences into contemporary artworks centered around three core elements: Soil, Plants, and Sound.\r\n\r\nFrom natural dyes created from native plants to soundscapes recorded in the village and ceramic creations, the exhibition offers a refreshing sensory exploration of rural sustainability and community resilience.\r\n\r\nExhibition Details:\r\n\r\nDate: 16-23 June 2026\r\n\r\nTime: 10:00 AM - 9:00 PM\r\n\r\nVenue: Anita Chan Lai-ling Gallery, The Fringe Club, Central (Google Map)\r\n\r\nFor more information, please visit: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/villagelifezine\/<\/p>\n                                    <span class=\"content-btn\">\n                                        <a class=\"hkuccsg-dark-green hkuccsg-arrow-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/en\/news\/celebrating-traditional-wisdom-through-art-exhibition-can-contemporary-art-bring-new-imaginations-into-centuries-old-village-traditions\/\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"Learn more about \u201cCelebrating Traditional Wisdom Through Art\u201d Exhibition &#8211; Can contemporary art bring new imaginations into centuries-old village traditions?\">\n                                            Learn more<i class=\"fa fa-arrow-right ms-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n                                        <\/a>\n                                    <\/span>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/article>\n                                            <article class=\"col-sm-12 col-md-6 col-lg-4\" role=\"listitem\">\n                            <div class=\"news-content-block\">\n                                <div class=\"content-img\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/Picture1.jpg);\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"A Dialogue on Building Resilient Urban-Rural Partnerships\"><\/div>\n                                <div class=\"content-text\">\n                                    <div class=\"category d-inline-block\">Event<\/div>\n                                    <h3 class=\"h5 text-ellipsis-3 mb-0\">A Dialogue on Building Resilient Urban-Rural Partnerships<\/h3>\n                                    <div class=\"d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center content-date my-2\">\n                                        <div class=\"py-1 me-4\">\n                                            <i class=\"fa fa-calendar me-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n                                            <time datetime=\"2026-05-14\">2026\/05\/14<\/time>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                                                            <\/div>\n                                    <p class=\"text-ellipsis-3 mb-4 content-desc\">To kick off our conference and network launch event for the Network for the Study of Social-Ecological Systems (SES) Transformations, the Centre for Civil Society and Governance hosted a public dialogue on \u201cBuilding Resilient Urban-Rural Partnerships.\u201d\r\nWe were very pleased to welcome network members from across the Asia-Pacific region, alongside practitioners, government representatives, and guests from Hong Kong to the event.\r\nWe would like to sincerely thank Professor Samson Tse, Acting Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Ms. Linda So, JP, Director of the Northern Metropolis Co-ordination Office, for delivering the opening remarks. Ms. So\u2019s opening speech was both inspiring and timely, reinforcing the importance of advancing nature-based solutions and sustainable practices as well as the government\u2019s understanding of the challenges and opportunities in building a resilient and sustainable future through the Northern Metropolis Development.\r\nWe were also honoured to have Professor Yahua Wang (Tsinghua University) and Dr. Ruth Meinzen-Dick(International Food Policy Research Institute) as our keynote speakers.\r\nProfessor Wang explained the challenges of applying the SES framework across contexts due to variability in variable selection and interpretation, while also highlighting the importance of complexity, robustness, collaborative networks, and the potential for integrating AI and SES research. He also reflected on the importance of collaborative networks in working toward a more common SES language.\r\nBuilding on this, Dr. Meinzen-Dick spoke to the importance of bridging theory and practice, transdisciplinarity, and building connections across people, institutions, and disciplines. She highlighted the importance of engaging with property rights and collective action in robust ways, and reflected on how experiential learning fosters collective action.\r\nWe were pleased to also offer a panel session featuring Professor Maiko Nishi, Professor Ching-Ping Tang, Professor Stephen M.B. Tang, and our Centre Director Professor Wai-Fung Lam. Dr. Winnie Law led a fruitful discussion on critical issues such as challenges in evaluating and understanding social-ecological systems beyond conventional metrics, including how to capture the broader social, ecological, and long-term impacts of these systems and partnerships.\r\nThank you once again to all keynote speakers, panelists, participants, and guests for contributing to such a thoughtful discussion.<\/p>\n                                    <span class=\"content-btn\">\n                                        <a class=\"hkuccsg-dark-green hkuccsg-arrow-btn\"

Recently, our project team partnered with local shared-cycling brand Locobike to host an inclusive cycling workshop at St. James&#039; Settlement\u00a0WE NET Club District Support Centre (Eastern).\r\n\r\nKey Highlights:\r\n\r\nIntegration of Technology and Rehabilitation Services: The workshop showcased cycling equipment integrated with Virtual Reality (VR) technology. This allows persons with disabilities (PWD) to experience the joy of outdoor sports within a safe and controlled indoor environment, effectively breaking down physical and environmental barriers.\r\n\r\nEvidence-Based Feedback: The session served as a platform to gather insights from frontline rehabilitation professionals. By leaving the equipment at the centre for member trials, the team continues to collect user data and experience feedback, assisting the enterprise in refining its products and services to better suit diverse needs.\r\n\r\nAdvancing Social Health and Sustainability: This exchange exemplifies how businesses can leverage their core competencies to generate social value. By expanding exercise options and enhancing engagement for PWD, we hope to improve their long-term physical and mental well-being\u2014a direct contribution to Social Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).\r\n\r\nWe look forward to fostering further dialogue between the business sector and social welfare\/rehabilitation institutions. Together, we can co-create products and services that cater to diverse needs, building a barrier-free and inclusive society for all.<\/p>\n                                    <span class=\"content-btn\">\n                                        <a class=\"hkuccsg-dark-green hkuccsg-arrow-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/en\/news\/empowering-inclusive-sports-through-cross-sector-collaboration-brining-vr-cycling-into-rehabilitation-services\/\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"Learn more about Empowering Inclusive Sports through Cross-Sector Collaboration: Brining VR Cycling into Rehabilitation Services\">\n                                            Learn more<i class=\"fa fa-arrow-right ms-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n                                        <\/a>\n                                    <\/span>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/article>\n                                            <article class=\"col-sm-12 col-md-6 col-lg-4\" role=\"listitem\">\n                            <div class=\"news-content-block\">\n                                <div class=\"content-img\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/KKW_0500-scaled.jpg);\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Building a Vibrant Social Enterprise Ecosystem: Insights from the \u201cESG Social Contribution Award\u201d\"><\/div>\n                                <div class=\"content-text\">\n                                    <div class=\"category d-inline-block\">Event<\/div>\n                                    <h3 class=\"h5 text-ellipsis-3 mb-0\">Building a Vibrant Social Enterprise Ecosystem: Insights from the \u201cESG Social Contribution Award\u201d<\/h3>\n                                    <div class=\"d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center content-date my-2\">\n                                        <div class=\"py-1 me-4\">\n                                            <i class=\"fa fa-calendar me-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n                                            <time datetime=\"2026-03-09\">2026\/03\/09<\/time>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                                                            <\/div>\n                                    <p class=\"text-ellipsis-3 mb-4 content-desc\">Recently, The Hong Kong General Chamber of Social Enterprises (HKGCSE) successfully organised the inaugural \u201cESG Social Contribution Award\u201d, celebrating companies that have long supported social enterprises and fostering greater collaboration between the corporate and social sectors. As one of the panel speakers, Dr. Winnie Law, Deputy Director at the Centre for Civil Society and Governance of The University of Hong Kong, shared valuable insights on the importance of building a comprehensive social enterprise ecosystem.\r\n\r\nDr. Law emphasised that the success of social enterprises relies not only on individual efforts but also on the collective support from government, enterprises, investors, and communities to form a sustainable and vibrant ecosystem. She highlighted three core elements vital for social enterprise sustainability: a well-defined and genuine social mission, a viable and sustainable business model, and continuous innovation in products, services, or operations.\r\n\r\nThe event showcased the increasing commitment of the business community to ESG principles and social responsibility. The awards also foster meaningful dialogue and partnerships taking place in the social enterprises\u2019 ecosystem. These have laid a solid foundation for future collaborations and the continued growth of social enterprises, demonstrating the vital role of multi-sector cooperation in creating social impact through business.\r\n\r\n?Read the full article for more details: https:\/\/www.am730.com.hk\/%E6%9C%AC%E5%9C%B0\/1019407\/esg%E5%95%86%E7%A4%BE%E5%85%B1%E5%89%B5%E5%A4%A7%E7%8D%8E-%E7%A4%BE%E4%BC%81%E7%B8%BD%E6%9C%83%E6%90%AD%E5%B9%B3%E5%8F%B0%E4%BF%83%E9%80%B2%E5%95%86%E7%A4%BE%E5%8A%A0%E5%BC%B7%E5%90%88%E4%BD%9C?fbclid=IwY2xjawQwMotleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETF1RFh4NHVSUU1WYmN6aUFEc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHhfNxytf_Lol2yqIunFcwQqIQA4AM_ivyu1BiYsWUsaJLV4WzM8pRnmkxiRY_aem_zXTt8XREovM_1ihlFLh63A<\/p>\n                                    <span class=\"content-btn\">\n                                        <a class=\"hkuccsg-dark-green hkuccsg-arrow-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/en\/news\/building-a-vibrant-social-enterprise-ecosystem-insights-from-the-esg-social-contribution-award\/\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"Learn more about Building a Vibrant Social Enterprise Ecosystem: Insights from the \u201cESG Social Contribution Award\u201d\">\n                                            Learn more<i class=\"fa fa-arrow-right ms-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n                                        <\/a>\n                                    <\/span>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/article>\n                                            <article class=\"col-sm-12 col-md-6 col-lg-4\" role=\"listitem\">\n                            <div class=\"news-content-block\">\n                                <div class=\"content-img\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Picture1.png);\" role=\"img\" aria-label=\"Searching for the Sustainability Purposes of Business\u2014an Inspiring Case for the Textile and Apparel Industry\"><\/div>\n                                <div class=\"content-text\">\n                                    <div class=\"category d-inline-block\">Event<\/div>\n                                    <h3 class=\"h5 text-ellipsis-3 mb-0\">Searching for the Sustainability Purposes of Business\u2014an Inspiring Case for the Textile and Apparel Industry<\/h3>\n                                    <div class=\"d-flex flex-wrap align-items-center content-date my-2\">\n                                        <div class=\"py-1 me-4\">\n                                            <i class=\"fa fa-calendar me-1\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n                                            <time datetime=\"2026-03-05\">2026\/03\/05<\/time>\n                                        <\/div>\n                                                                            <\/div>\n                                    <p class=\"text-ellipsis-3 mb-4 content-desc\">For decades, the textile and apparel industry has been associated with environmentally polluting practices and labour\u2011intensive production.These have flagged at many fronts of the sustainability agendas. Plenty of brands and companies have progressed and reduced social and environmental harms through innovation and technology. At Esquel, we saw the start of a paradigm shift towards sustainability attainment.\r\n\r\nLast week, our rural sustainability and corporate sustainability teams had the privilege of attending the Open Day at Integral, located among the scenic landscape of Guilin, China, which embodies the brand\u2019s philosophy of sustainability.\r\n\r\nIn the two fruitful days, our team has had the opportunity to learn about their journey in sustainability transition, Whether through developing innovative waterless dyeing technologies, exploring plant\u2011based natural dyes, or advancing strategies for quality employment\u2014including workforce upskilling, lifelong learning, and employee wellbeing\u2014the Group demonstrates a holistic approach to sustainable transformation.\r\n\r\nThese initiatives not only reflect the corporate commitment to minimizing its environmental impact and contributing to the community but also demonstrate that the investment in sustainability, though often seen as a long shot, helps the corporation build a competitive advantage in the long run. Through the efforts in research &amp; development, Esquel is able to expand its business portfolio beyond being a manufacturer to a knowledge-based innovation company with the goal of pushing greener standards in the industry.\r\n\r\nUltimately, Esquel set its eyes on scaling the application of natural dyes across the textile industry, with the collective effort of academic and research institutions to promote innovation, knowledge transfer and wider adoption of nature-based solutions.\u00a0There are plenty for our team to learn and reflect upon and we look forward to having future opportunities to exchange further with great minds at Esquel!<\/p>\n                                    <span class=\"content-btn\">\n                                        <a

Special Issue in\u00a0Voluntas: The Nonprofit Sector and ESG, organised by the Centre for Civil Society and Governance at The University of Hong Kong, was successfully convened on January 8-9, 2026. This engaging two-day event brought together scholars, as well as professionals from the corporate and nonprofit sectors, to discuss the fascinating research conducted by international authors contributing to this special issue.\r\n\r\nEach presentation was followed by lively discussion and Q&amp;A sessions, reflecting high engagement and diverse perspectives from participants. The workshop successfully fostered meaningful dialogue on the ways the nonprofit sector intersects with ESG.\r\n\r\nThe workshop featured five comprehensive panels comprising a total of 12 insightful papers, addressing key themes across the ESG landscape:\r\n\r\n \tPhilosophical and Cultural Perspectives on ESG\r\nHighlighted that ESG is not merely a technical framework, but also a deeply normative and culturally embedded concept\r\n \tGovernance and Sustainability\r\nExamined how ESG is interpreted and implemented in concrete organizational and policy settings\r\n \tPublic Perceptions of Nonprofits and ESG\r\nExplored how nonprofits are perceived, evaluated, and engaged by the public and other stakeholders: Trust, legitimacy, and participation\r\n \tCollaboration and Cross-Sector Partnerships in ESG\r\nDiscussed the nuanced treatment of collaboration. Power asymmetries, strategic alignment, and the risks of mission drift.\r\n \tESG Metrics, Reporting, and Evaluation in the Nonprofit Sector\r\nAddressed the need to balance standardization and comparability with contextual sensitivity and mission-specific goals\r\n\r\nAcross these discussions, several cross-cutting themes emerged:\r\n\r\n \tESG is not a one-size-fits all framework. Its meaning and implications vary across cultures, sectors, institutional contexts, and organizational forms\r\n \tNonprofits are not passive recipients of ESG pressures. They actively interpret, adapt, and sometimes resist ESG frameworks\r\n \tCollaboration is central to advancing ESG for social good\r\n\r\n?Field Visit to Nan Fung Group at AIRSIDE: Insights into Corporate Sustainability and NGO Collaboration\r\n\r\n \tParticipants learned about Nan Fung\u2019s sustainability framework, SEWIT, including management tools and impact measurement methods.\r\n \tSEWIT\u2019s pillars: Social Cohesion, Environment, Wellness, Innovation, and Technology, guiding long-term business and community sustainability.\r\n \tEngaged in in-person exchanges with community stakeholders at Good Date Village, grounding the framework in real-world practice.\r\n\r\nA big thank you to the Nan Fung team for hosting us and for the insightful sharing. We also extend our gratitude to all participants for making this event a valuable platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration. We look forward to further academic contributions in ESG within the nonprofit sector.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n                                    <span class=\"content-btn\">\n                                        <a class=\"hkuccsg-dark-green hkuccsg-arrow-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/en\/news\/workshop-on-special-issue-in-voluntas-the-nonprofit-sector-and-environmental-social-and-governance-esg\/\" target=\"\" aria-label=\"Learn more about Workshop on Special Issue in Voluntas: The Nonprofit Sector and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)\">\n                                            Learn more<i class=\"fa fa-arrow-right ms-2\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n                                        <\/a>\n                                    <\/span>\n                                <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/article>\n                                    \n                <div class=\"container-fluid text-start posts hkuccsg-news-pagination\">\n                    <div class=\"row g-3\">\n                        <div class=\"d-flex justify-content-center align-center\">\n                            <nav aria-label=\"News Pagination\">\n                                <ul class=\"pagination acenter\" role=\"navigation\" aria-label=\"Pagination\"><li class=\"page-item active\" role=\"presentation\" aria-current=\"page\"><a class=\"page-link page-numbers current\" aria-label=\"Current page, page 0\" aria-current=\"page\" class=\"page-numbers current\">1<\/a><\/li><li class=\"page-item\" role=\"presentation\"><a class=\"page-link page-numbers\" aria-label=\"Page 2\" class=\"page-numbers\" href=\"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/en\/happenings\/?page_num=2\">2<\/a><\/li><span class=\"page-numbers dots\">&hellip;<\/span><li class=\"page-item\" role=\"presentation\"><a class=\"page-link page-numbers\" aria-label=\"Page 4\" class=\"page-numbers\" href=\"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/en\/happenings\/?page_num=13\">13<\/a><\/li><li class=\"page-btn page-btn-next active\" role=\"presentation\"><a class=\"page-link next page-numbers d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center\" aria-label=\"Next page\" href=\"https:\/\/ccsg.hku.hk\/en\/happenings\/?page_num=2\"><i class=\"fa fa-arrow-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span class=\"sr-only\">Next page<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul>                            <\/nav>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happening Home Happening Our Highlight Research Sit amet venenatis urna cursus eget nunc.
