Is your board equipped to govern the company’s future — not merely oversee its past?

As part of Executive Leadership Series, the Institute hosted a workshop - “Governance Framework: Roles, Responsibilities, and Common Pitfalls for Executive Directors and INEDs” on 13 October 2026, in collaboration with Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants

The workshop brought together directors, senior executives and governance professionals to examine the evolving governance landscape, with a focus on the distinct roles and responsibilities of Executive Directors and INEDs and the challenges they face.

We were honoured to have Athena Ng, Council Member of both HKICPA and HKIoD, deliver the welcoming remarks. She emphasized the importance of effective governance and strong board leadership, reflecting both organizations’ commitment to advancing corporate governance excellence.

Through detailed discussions and practical case studies, participants gained insights on enhancing board effectiveness, strengthening accountability, and addressing governance challenges in today's dynamic business environment.

Our sincere appreciation goes to our distinguished speakers, Daniel Chow of FTI Consulting and Wing Chan of Eversheds Sutherland, and all participants for their valuable contributions to the workshop.

We look forward to continuing our partnership with HKIoD and fostering leadership excellence through future Executive Leadership Series events.

Over the past few weeks, The 21st Century Director has explored two perspectives on leadership within FSE Lifestyle Services Limited and Waihong Environmental Services Limited.

With Mr Alvin Lee, we looked at vision, constructive challenge and leading through change.
With Mr Raymond Chung, we saw how candour, trust and a willingness to challenge convention can translate into business decisions and transformation.
Now, we widen the lens to the Board of Directors of Waihong Environmental Services Limited, recipient of the 2025 Directors Of The Year Award – Collective Board Category.
With expertise spanning finance, law, corporate governance, operations, ESG and environmental services, the Board demonstrates that diversity is not simply about who sits around the table.
What matters is what happens when those different perspectives meet.
Through clear responsibilities, open dialogue, rigorous risk oversight and digital reporting, the Board seeks to balance effective supervision with the agility to respond to change.
That collective approach extends to some of today’s most important boardroom issues — from integrating financial, operational and sustainability risks, to embedding climate targets into management KPIs and guarding against groupthink.
Three award recognitions. Different perspectives. A connected story of leadership and governance across an organisation.

Read the latest interview in The 21st Century Director and discover how diverse perspectives can strengthen collective decision-making.

過去數星期,《廿一世紀董事》先後從豐盛生活服務及惠康環境服務的兩位得獎者出發,探討董事領導與企業管治的不同面向。

從 李國邦先生身上,我們看到願景、建設性質疑,以及董事如何帶領企業面對轉變。
從 鍾偉文先生的分享,我們看到坦誠、互信,以及勇於挑戰既有思維,如何進一步轉化成企業決策與轉型。
今次,我們把視角拉闊至榮獲 2025年度「傑出董事獎」— 集體董事會類別的 惠康環境服務有限公司董事會。
董事會成員的專業經驗橫跨財務、法律、企業管治、營運管理、ESG及環境服務。然而,董事會多元化的真正價值,並不只是誰坐在會議桌前。
更重要的是——當不同觀點在會議桌上相遇,如何轉化成更好的決策。
透過清晰權責、開放討論、嚴謹的風險監督及數碼化報告,董事會在有效監督與靈活應變之間尋求平衡。
這種集體管治思維亦延伸至今天董事會面對的重要議題——從整合財務、營運及可持續發展風險,到把氣候目標納入管理層KPI,以及以多元思維避免「群體思維」。
三項得獎殊榮,不同的視角,串連出同一企業體系內一個關於領導與管治的故事。

立即閱讀《廿一世紀董事》最新專訪,了解多元視角如何成就更具力量的集體決策。
