The Hong Kong Institute of Directors Announces Winners of Directors Of The Year Awards 2020
HONG KONG, Nov 26, 2020 - (ACN Newswire) - The Hong Kong Institute of Directors ("HKIoD") has announced the winners of Directors Of The Year Awards ("DYA") 2020, which is a project that reaches the milestone of 20th Anniversary. This year, it is themed "Vanguard in Challenging Times".
Dr Christopher To, Chairman of HKIoD, said, "Hong Kong is facing a complex situation that has never been seen before. Unanticipated political developments combined with an unprecedented epidemic and rapid digitisation have made it difficult for the commercial sectors to plan and implement development strategies. Amid such challenging conditions, the foresight and governance capability of business leaders have never been more important. They have to respond quickly to protect the interests of stakeholders, while adhering to corporate principles. Through the Awards, we hope to recognise outstanding directors for their insightfulness, as well as to inspire and encourage corporations to demonstrate outstanding corporate governance. Together, we can overcome any difficulty."
Mr Kenneth Wong, Chairman of 2020 Directors Awards Organising Committee, said, "In the past, it took years to determine whether a business decision was a wise one. Now with the dawn of digitalisation, the cycle of "only the fittest will survive" has accelerated significantly in the business world. We can easily cite examples where companies have quickly turned from prosperity to decline due to a single decision, and vice versa. Today's business leaders need to be more aware of changes, and also be able to quickly adapt to change like never before in order to survive in the challenging environment. The Organising Committee has set the theme for this year's Awards project as 'Vanguard in Challenging Times'. We hope to set a new benchmark for corporate governance in Hong Kong by promoting some successful examples of corporations adapting to changes and overcoming difficulties, so as to be well prepared for future challenges."
Dr Carlye Tsui, CEO of HKIoD, said, "Corporate governance is a dynamic process, especially in today's rapidly changing business environment. Corporate directors must constantly improve themselves and acquire new knowledge. The training provided by HKIoD has been keeping abreast of the market situation and enabling directors to obtain the latest information, so as to face challenges and explore new opportunities confidently. HKIoD has always been committed to providing appropriate director training and guidelines to its members. Moreover, it is also a platform for directors to share and interact with each other, and also to speak out for members and representatives of the business sectors when appropriate."

About Directors Of The Year Awards First launched in 2001, Directors Of The Year Awards were the first ever such Awards organised in Asia. The project has now become an annual project of impact in the community. The objectives are to recognise directors and board of directors for outstanding director practices and corporate governance, to publicise the significance of good corporate governance and to promote awareness of good corporate governance and director professionalism in Hong Kong. Nominations are open to the public. As good corporate governance is vital to all types of organisations, and professional director practices are encouraged from directors in all board roles, the Awards recognise excellence in categories by company types, including listed companies, private companies and statutory/non-profit-distributing organisations, and categories by roles, including Executive Directors, Non-Executive Directors and Boards.
