Last weekend, Encompass HK successfully hosted the Green Women Festival at Eaton HK, bringing together over 250 participants across two days. The event featured 30+ speakers and facilitators, 10 booths, and 13 workshops. It was truly a community-led, inclusive, and intersectional event—one that celebrated women’s leadership and the diversity of voices driving sustainability.
We worked hard to showcase the impact of women across all backgrounds in sustainability. We welcomed participation from trans communities, migrant workers, refugee NGOs, youth, sustainability startups, and organizations with a gender-lens focus, and more.
The Green Women Festival would not have been possible without our participants, partners, and supporters. As a sustainability-forward event, we aimed to keep it as green as possible. We partnered with The Loops HK for “dirty recycling” services—sorting and cleaning recyclables before processing. We’re happy to share that 80% of the trash (12.65 kg) collected at their bins was recyclable.
And we have so many photos to share with you—we’re excited for you to see them! In the coming days, we’ll be posting snapshots of the Festival in different albums so you can feel the energy and excitement of the event. Our first album will feature the diverse workshops we hosted, from Plant Ink, making your own tote bag, and DIY hand cream and lip balm, to bioleather workshops. We also spotlighted community leaders who are ready to make an impact as our facilitators.
