Stoic Foundation Inaugural Event

 


8th November 2024

Stoic Foundation recently held its inaugural event, marking a significant milestone for the organisation. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all attendees whose engagement and insights on sustainability contributed to an unforgettable evening.


A special acknowledgement goes to our esteemed panelists, Ulf Ekberg and Habib Paracha, who travelled to Hong Kong to participate in this vital discussion. Their expertise was invaluable, and we appreciate their commitment to advancing the conversation on sustainable practices. We also thank Tsun K. Chen for expertly moderating the discussion and facilitating a rich exchange of ideas among our guests.


We would like to express our sincere appreciation for Leiming Chen, who could not join us due to recovery from minor surgery. His support and dedication to our mission are deeply valued.


Overall, the event was a resounding success, providing a wonderful opportunity for connection and idea exchange. We look forward to future collaborations that will continue to foster dialogue on sustainability and Stoic principles.

Panelist: Ulf Ekberg






In his address, Ulf articulated his inspiring journey and steadfast commitment to protecting and reviving the Amazon rainforest. His passion for sustainability has propelled him to engage in various impactful projects, including initiatives that promote renewable energy, support local communities, and advocate for eco-friendly business practices. Ulf's efforts highlight the importance of collective action in addressing environmental challenges and fostering a sustainable future.


Ulf's journey into environmental advocacy has been shaped by his experiences as a musician and entrepreneur. As a founding member of Ace of Base, he achieved significant success in the music industry, which provided him with a platform to promote awareness of sustainability and social issues. His involvement in creating the Happy Nation album, which emphasises unity and environmental consciousness themes, further underscores his commitment to these causes.





 

Panelist: Habib Paracha






In his address, Habib detailed his sustainable journey, which began with the catastrophic floods in Pakistan that profoundly affected him. This pivotal experience fostered a strong commitment to sustainability and environmental issues within him. It ignited a passion for creating change, leading him to leverage his skills as a film producer to raise awareness about urgent climate challenges. His production of the award-winning short film "The Perfect Shot: Antarctica" exemplifies this commitment, as it addresses critical climate change issues and highlights the importance of environmental stewardship. Habib's diverse experiences in film production, combined with his dedication to social causes, have equipped him with a unique perspective that he shared during the event. His insights not only reflect his personal journey but also inspire others to engage in meaningful action for a sustainable future.
