At the Hong Kong event held on September 3-4, ASUENE served as a global sustainability partner and conducted pre- and post-event GHG accounting.

Background of the Partnership Agreement

As the need to address climate change grows, the sports event industry is also undergoing a shift toward more sustainable operations, beginning with greater transparency through GHG measurement.

Against this backdrop, at the Hong Kong Summit on September 3-4, ASUENE — which operates Asia’s No.1 carbon accounting platform — conducted pre- and post-event GHG emission. Through this partnership, ASUENE aims to leverage its expertise and technology to contribute to more sustainable event management and to further advance sustainability across the global sports industry.
