The competition invited young people from around the world to submit practical ideas on environmental, social impact, and governance issues under the theme “ESG Practices Around Me: Building a Sustainable Future.” Two months ago, Mr. Lukasz Madrzynski from the IUCN announced the winners of the ESG competition at our Secondary Awards Ceremony. On August 5, the YCIS Chongqing recipients traveled to Hong Kong to collect their prizes.

Three packed days turned into a living ESG masterclass:

At the PLA Exhibition Centre on Stonecutters Island, cadets demonstrated how national security and sustainable operations can coexist on the same platform.

Inside Mong Kok Police Station, a fraud-prevention workshop and hands-on dispatch drill turned public safety into a tangible social governance case.

Grounded by a black rainstorm, the students transformed their hotel meeting room into an instant ESG war room—mapping environmental obligations, social coordination, and governance gaps in real time.

Well done to every participant and winner—your clear-eyed ideas are already nudging the planet forward. Thanks to the organizers for transforming Hong Kong into a shared classroom. Here’s to more young minds turning ESG from three letters into a daily habit!
