HSUHK annd Towngas partner for first ESG Scholarship Programme

The initiative awarded five teams scholarships worth $50,000.

The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK) collaborated with Towngas for their first Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Scholarship programme aimed at encouraging students to focus on related issues.

Participating teams submitted an ESG-related news report in print and audio-visual. The winners, comprising five teams with total of 17 students, were awarded scholarships worth $50,000.

Team Green Memorial member Pang Wing-chun said that public knowledge about green burial is limited, especially amongst the elderly who consider the topic taboo.

“We hope our work can promote this environmentally friendly concept and help more people understand the significance behind green burial,” Wing-chun said.

Towngas will continue to collaborate with HSUHK in a new format and will also welcome student interns in the company’s Corporate Affairs or ESG departments.
