Driving Change Together: Why Join SwedCham’s Sustainability Committee
Sustainability is no longer just a buzzword - it is a responsibility, an opportunity, and a strategic advantage. At the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong, we believe that real change happens when businesses, professionals, and communities come together with a shared purpose. That’s why our Sustainability Committee exists: to inspire action, share knowledge, and collaborate on solutions that make a difference.
A Community of Like-Minded Professionals
Joining the Sustainability Committee means becoming part of a network of like-minded, enthusiastic, and forward-thinking individuals who share the same mission: to make things better. Whether you represent a multinational corporation, an SME, or are simply personally passionate about sustainability, the Committee offers an open platform to learn, contribute, and grow.
Focus Areas: Green Transport & Beyond
As part of Hong Kong’s environmental strategy for decarbonisation, the city has identified four core directives. The SwedCham Sustainability Committee has chosen to focus on Green Transport - an area that touches all of us. From freight and logistics to daily commuting and air quality, our work groups are exploring tangible ways businesses can contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable Hong Kong.
Policy Engagement & Working Groups
Beyond ideas, we believe in impact. The Committee will engage in policy discussions and practical initiatives that are highly relevant to our member companies. By setting up smaller, focused working groups - led by Committee members - we ensure that specific issues can be tackled in depth, giving companies the chance to influence and shape sustainable practices in their sectors.
Learning, Activities & Networking
Sustainability doesn’t have to be all hard work. The Committee also organises monthly meetings, workshops, webinars, and even lighter activities like sustainability-themed movie nights. These are opportunities to connect, share insights, and spark collaborations in an inspiring yet relaxed setting.
More Seats at the Table
Unlike some other committees, the Sustainability Committee welcomes more than one participant from each member company. Why? Because sustainability affects multiple functions across an organisation—whether it’s operations, strategy, HR, or marketing. Having different voices at the table only makes the discussion richer and the impact greater.
