“Waste less, Live More” – Live Local 2024 is the largest tech-enabled ESG campaign to support local businesses, drive sustainable lifestyle changes and empower students and communities with a sense of social responsibility. A healthier and greener Hong Kong for the Year of the Dragon 2024!
Our local businesses have continued to suffer post-pandemic, particularly the F&B and hospitality sectors which have experienced a slow rebound in tourism revenues. Even though Hongkongers are frequently travelling overseas; overall sentiment is that happiness levels have plunged to a decade low as the wealth-poor gap widens.
With our new ESG campaign “Waste Less, Live More”, we seek to address three areas:
- Environmental – Empower individuals to make environmental impact through daily behavioural changes, increased awareness and educate citizens to prepare for the upcoming Municipal Waste Charging Scheme on 1st August 2024
- Social – Incentivise citizens (particularly students – the next generation and future of Hong Kong) to be sustainable and socially responsible
- Governance – Promote a local low carbon economy
With Cyberport as a co-organiser, Negwawatt has signed a partnership with the Hong Kong Students’ Union (HKSU) which has 20,000 registered student leaders across 8 university campuses. Through the HKSU we will introduce ZERO2 – an ESG reward platform that seeks to promote a low carbon lifestyle through gamification, to university students and youths. Students will be encouraged to actively engage in daily ESG initiatives whereby the tangible impact of each student’s individual ESG contributions will be digitised and recorded using the ZERO2 mobile application. As a recognition of their efforts, participating students will be awarded an ESG Impact Certificate from ZERO2.
This initiative not only serves as a means to incentivise students to contribute to ESG causes but also provides a valuable opportunity for them to enhance their resumes. The ESG Impact Certificate received from ZERO2 can add a meaningful dimension to students’ CVs, showcasing their commitment to sustainable practices and responsible citizenship. We believe this initiative will not only benefit the environment but also contribute to the personal and professional development of the students, increasing their chances of success in future job opportunities.
