The International Conference on Sustainable Development in Higher Education organized by Centre for Corporate Sustainability and Innovations, Hang Seng Management College was arranged in Hong Kong on July 5-6, 2016.
According to the 2015 Policy Address, the issue of manpower is of quantity and quality. Education has been one of the key driving forces of Hong Kong’s economic growth, providing impetus to growth of other sectors and creating employment. Besides, the Report on Manpower Projection to 2018, the Government of Hong Kong SAR, and the OECD Action Plan for Youth mentioned in the 3rd UNESCO-APEID Meeting on Entrepreneurship Education are also important documents for this proposal as they mentioned that the education system has to be more relevant in preparing young people for the world of work through developing awareness of educators, policy-makers and industry practitioners about the importance of sustainable development in higher education and the linkage between sustainable development and supply chain management in the operations of key industries.
Besides, it is important to align with the Six Principles (Purpose, Values, Method, Research, Partnership and Dialogue) of PRME, UN Global Compact when implementing sustainable related activities for creating sustainable value for partners to meet social and environmental responsibilities.
