Hang Lung Future Women Leaders Program
Wellbeing is one of the four priorities outlined in Hang Lung’s Sustainability Framework. The goal of Hang Lung’s focus on wellbeing is to ensure employees, customers and communities enjoy an unrivalled environment that promotes their health and wellness. Hang Lung is keenly aware of the responsibilities it owes to the community at large and endeavors to give back to society by means of community investment initiatives which cover a wide spectrum of social needs with a particular emphasis on diversity and inclusion, youth development and education, elderly services and environmental protection.
Advancing with the times, women are playing increasingly important roles in the family and the workplace. However, they continue to be presented with challenges in their personal and professional development. As a vital initiative in Hang Lung’s sustainability commitment, Hang Lung initiated and organised the “Hang Lung Future Women Leaders Program” to engage the government, industry, and society partners to promote and support women’s development while enhancing community wellbeing.
The inaugural edition of the “Hang Lung Future Women Leaders Program” will roll-out in Hong Kong and Shanghai with partners including The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups Leadership Institute, the "Seagull Project" of the Shanghai Women's Federation and the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission, and the Xuhui District and Jing’an District Women's Federation. The Program will engage 40 elite women leaders from various fields as program mentors. They will groom 200 female university students from across the nation, helping them to develop personal and professional leadership skills and tap their inner strengths through a six-month mentorship, multi-dimensional training, and community / sustainability projects. Outstanding students will receive internship opportunities provided by Hang Lung or mentors’ companies. Furthermore, the program will also establish a more efficient and broader communication platform between young women in Hong Kong and Shanghai through online inspirational talks, in pursuit of a sustainable future.
Mr Weber LO, Chief Executive Officer of Hang Lung Properties, said, "I am delighted that Hang Lung is taking the initiative to launch the ‘Hang Lung Future Women Leaders Program’ as an integral part of our endeavors to fulfil our corporate social responsibility. Through the synergy of exchange between elite women – many of whom are our own tenants and business partners – and young female students eager to excel, we hope the program will empower the next generation of women talents to take the lead and make better decisions for the world which we all call home. I am confident that the program will further promote the sustainable development of a diverse and inclusive community while we continue to create compelling spaces that enrich lives.”
