Workshop at ReThink 2026: Nature as a Business Solution: Inspirations for Hong Kong Companies (Indication of Interest)

​Nature-based solutions have moved from niche environmental concept to proven business strategy – delivering measurable returns on operational resilience, cost reduction, stakeholder trust, and regulatory readiness. Yet CGI HK’s research finds that nature remains largely a nascent topic from Hong Kong boardrooms, with limited awareness of how nature-related risks and opportunities connect to core business performance.

​As part of Rethink 2026, the workshop shifts the conversation from compliance to competitive advantage. Hosted by CGI HK in collaboration with leading sustainability specialists, the session showcases real-world examples of how Hong Kong and regional companies have deployed nature-based solutions to solve tangible business challenges – from urban heat management and water resilience to biodiversity-linked asset value and supply chain durability. Following the case study showcase, participants work in small groups to identify which nature-based approaches are most relevant and actionable for their own sector and context. Collective insights will be shared with the CGI HK community.

​Session Learnings:

• ​Understand how leading companies in Hong Kong and the region are deploying nature-based solutions to address real operational, reputational, and financial challenges

• ​Discover the business case for nature across different sectors – including built environment, financial services, hospitality, and logistics – with concrete examples and outcomes

• ​Learn how nature-related frameworks (including TNFD considerations) can be practically integrated into corporate strategy without requiring deep technical expertise at the outset

• ​Leave with sector-specific ideas and a peer network to support your organisation’s first steps toward nature-positive action

​Post-Event Actions:

• ​Share case study inspiration with colleagues and leadership – positioning nature-based solutions as a business opportunity, not a reporting obligation

• ​Identify one nature-related risk or opportunity most relevant to your organisation and explore what a first assessment might look like

• ​Connect with case study presenters for follow-up conversations on sector-specific applications

• ​Engage with CGI HK’s ongoing nature governance resources and peer learning network
