This summer, technology giant Siemens welcomed 17 students from Form Five to Seven to its youth programme, showing them how the firm puts sustainability into practice by addressing its social, economic and environmental responsibilities.
Denis Leung, CEO of Siemens Hong Kong and Macau, says the focus of the programme this year was corporate sustainability.
'By showing participants the importance of environmentally friendly innovations and technologies, we hope to inspire them to take the lead in living green,' he says.
The youth programme is part of 'Generation 21', an educational initiative launched by Siemens to keep students informed of the latest developments in science and technology.
Participants in the youth programme took part in activities over a two-week period last month, ranging from observing the multinational company's daily operations, through to interactive presentations and 'sharing sessions' hosted by Siemens' staff, and visiting the firm's projects and business partners.
Douglas Ng, a business development consultant at Siemens and who helped with the programme this summer, says the group's visit to the Hong Kong Jockey Club was a highlight.
