BDA Partners’ Head of Hong Kong Office and Partner, Simon Kavanagh opened the Forum, and BDA Partners’ Managing Director and Head of Consumer & Retail, Asia, Karen Cheung gave a keynote presentation.
The panel discussions involved industry leaders and sector experts, exchanging insights and ideas, touching on thought-provoking ESG and climate change issues. They also discussed topics impacting Asian supply chains, as well as the future of retail and e-tail.
Panel discussion topics included:
- Supply chain disruptions: challenges, opportunities and trends
- ESG: The rise of the conscious consumers and investors
