HONG KONG SAR- Media OutReach Newswire - 25 April 2025 – In a city built on precision, resilience and reinvention, Hong Kong's corporate leadership is entering a new era—where governance, innovation, and sustainability are not just trends, but imperatives.

The Asia Corporate Excellence & Sustainability (ACES) Awards 2025 has opened Wave 2 nominations, calling on Hong Kong-based businesses and leaders to benchmark themselves against Asia's most rigorous awards platform.

Winners of the 2024 ACES Awards gather in celebration, representing Asia’s most forward-thinking companies across leadership and sustainability.
