HONG KONG, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AECOM, the world's trusted infrastructure consulting firm, proudly participated as a sponsor and exhibitor at ReThink Hong Kong 2024, the premier sustainability expo which was held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, Hong Kong from September 12-13, 2024. At the event, AECOM showcased its dedication to a net zero environment, inspired by its Scope X™ approach to decarbonization. This included its "Playbook for Nature-Positive Infrastructure Development" (the Playbook), developed in collaboration with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC). The Playbook includes nearly 200 case studies spanning transport, water energy, buildings and coastal projects.

AECOM welcomed hundreds of visitors to its booth, engaging in meaningful discussions, sharing learnings from its ESG and climate advisory services, and explored potential collaborations with the shared goal of advancing sustainability. AECOM's exhibits also featured a selection of 15 ESG projects across Asia and low-carbon construction materials and applications in civil infrastructure, including the most recent example of the first global application of S960 ultra-high strength steel in the Footbridge under Fanling Bypass Eastern Section as part of the Kwu Tung North and Fanling North New Development Areas in the Northern Metropolis.

Leveraging their ESG knowledge and diverse infrastructure specialties, leading industry professionals from AECOM delivered insightful perspectives on creating livable cities, enhancing mobility, and building nature-positive built environments. The discussions covered catalyzing green building technology for sustainable development and transforming built spaces into vibrant, community-centric neighborhoods through urban and landscape planning and design. They also explored the opportunities and challenges associated with the Northern Metropolis, introduced by city planning and infrastructure advancements, and delved into enhancing the user experience of Hong Kong's public transportation to achieve people-centric mobility. Additionally, valuable insights were exchanged from global initiatives and best practices in implementing nature-based solutions, with an exploration of their applicability in the Greater Bay Area and Hong Kong.

"As one of the first consultants in Hong Kong to assist clients adopting the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD), AECOM has helped organizations to identify, assess, manage and disclose, their evolving nature-related dependencies, impacts, risks and opportunities," said David Gallacher, executive director of environment at AECOM. "We are also working with clients to design, build and manage nature-based solutions, another crucial tool in the goal of achieving a nature-positive future."

Recognized as the top Environmental Consulting Firm by Engineering News-Record, AECOM is committed to delivering lasting positive impacts through its Sustainable Legacies strategy. The Company aims to advance towards a nature-positive future through its expertise and innovative solutions that enable development and nature to thrive together.
