What does it take to lead with vision — while governing with purpose?

For Mr Alvin Lee, Executive Director of FSE Lifestyle Services Limited, effective directorship begins with a firm foundation: fiduciary duties are non-negotiable. Yet strong governance also requires something more — a boardroom where constructive challenge is not merely accepted, but actively encouraged.
As recipient of the 2025 Directors Of The Year Award – Listed Companies, Executive Directors Category, Mr Lee shares with The 21st Century Director how he approaches leadership across governance, risk, innovation, talent and sustainability.

From forging strategic partnerships with academia and industry, to setting AI directions and developing future leaders, his experience reflects a belief that directors should not only respond to change, but help shape what comes next.

And his advice to aspiring directors?
Lead with integrity. Keep learning. Embrace collaboration.
Because effective directorship, in his words, is not just about leading — it is also about inspiring and empowering others.

And this is only one perspective.
Over the coming weeks, we will continue the conversation with other 2025 award recipients from within the same group — exploring how leadership principles take shape in different roles, and ultimately, around the boardroom table.

以願景引領方向,同時以使命驅動管治——一位董事如何兼顧兩者?

對豐盛生活服務有限公司執行董事李國邦先生而言,董事的信託責任是不可動搖的根本;然而,卓越管治還需要更多——一個不只是「容許」不同意見,而是主動鼓勵建設性質疑的董事會。
作為 2025年度「傑出董事獎」— 上市公司執行董事組別得主,李先生在《廿一世紀董事》專訪中,從企業管治、風險、創新、人才及可持續發展多個角度,分享他的董事領導理念。

從推動跨界策略合作,到制定AI發展方向、培育未來領袖,他的經驗反映出一個重要理念:董事不只是應對轉變,更應思考如何引領企業走向下一步。
而他給未來董事的寄語也很清晰:
堅守誠信、持續學習、擁抱合作。

因為出色的董事,不僅在於領導,更在於啟發及賦能他人。

而這,只是其中一個視角。
未來數星期,我們將繼續訪問同一集團內其他2025年度得獎者,從不同領導崗位出發,看看這些管治理念如何逐步落實於企業之中,並延伸至整個董事會。

HKIoD Directors’ Symposium 2026 (Part 2)

The Hong Kong Institute of Directors proudly hosted our flagship Directors’ Symposium 2026 at the Hong Kong Ocean Park Marriott Hotel, bringing together over 250 distinguished business leaders, directors, and governance professionals under this year's theme: Navigating Through Disruptive Forces in Challenging Times.

Here are the core takeaways from our power-packed sessions:

• Strategic Board Leadership: Modern boards must shift away from micromanagement ("nose in, fingers out") and focus on agility, talent cultivation, and long-term strategic alignment.
• AI Governance & Accountability: AI adoption is an organisation-wide governance matter, not just an IT project. Boards must establish robust data privacy frameworks, clear GenAI employee guidelines, and strict cyber resilience.
• Macro-Economic Resilience: Hong Kong remains uniquely positioned as a premier wealth management and fixed-income currency center, driving growth through RMB internationalisation despite global cross-border shifts.
• Building Longevity Blueprints: Sustaining corporate vitality across generations requires preserving core values while pivoting business models through omnichannel digital engagement and strong organizational purpose.

A Special Thank You
We want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who brought this event to life:

• Our Speakers, Panellists & Hosts: Thank you for generously sharing your time, expert insights, and real-world wisdom with our community.

• Our Sponsors: Heartfelt thanks to our valued sponsors—the Companies Registry, CLP Power Hong Kong, Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, Hong Kong, RSM, BDO, Forvis Mazars, Gleneagles Hospital Hong Kong, and Towngas—as well as Ms. Bonnie S.Y. Chan for your generous support and partnership.

• Our Supporting Organisations: Thank you for your vital partnerships and collaborative efforts in championing corporate governance across sectors.

• Our Delegates: Thank you to everyone who joined us both on-site and online for making yesterday such an engaging and dynamic experience.

As we look ahead to HKIoD’s 30th anniversary next year, we remain committed to championing boardroom excellence in Hong Kong!

In Remembrance of Mr Tung Chee-hwa, Founding Patron of The Hong Kong Institute of Directors

The Hong Kong Institute of Directors (HKIoD) deeply mourns the passing of Mr Tung Chee-hwa, former Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the CPPCC, the first Chief Executive of the HKSAR, and the Founding Patron of HKIoD, who passed away peacefully on 8 September 2026 at the age of 89.

Since the establishment of HKIoD in 1997, Mr Tung served as our first Patron, establishing a valued tradition of support for the Institute from successive Chief Executives of the HKSAR. Over the years, he offered strong encouragement and support for the Institute’s mission of promoting good corporate governance and the professional development of directors.

As the first Chief Executive of the HKSAR, Mr Tung served Hong Kong with utmost dedication and made significant contributions to the implementation of “One Country, Two Systems” in the early years of the HKSAR. His significant contributions to the Hong Kong community will long be remembered.

On behalf of the Council and all members of HKIoD, we extend our deepest condolences to Mr Tung’s family.

【The 21st Century Director Highlights | Upholding Trust to Accompany Patients on Their Cancer Journey】

Behind every compassionate cancer care service lies a robust, professional, and purpose-driven governance framework anchored in mutual trust.
In the latest issue of The 21st Century Director, we sit down with the Board of Directors of The Hong Kong Anti-Cancer Society (HKACS) to explore how exemplary governance navigates evolving healthcare needs. Guided by a patient-centred and prudent resource allocation approach, the Board ensures transparent oversight so that key initiatives like the Charity Bed Programme and "Project Wish" deliver meaningful support to those most in need. By embracing hybrid digital platforms, HKACS brings evidence-based education and psychosocial care directly into the community. Looking ahead, the Society is actively fostering cross-sector collaboration and gearing up to host over a thousand global experts at the World Cancer Congress in Hong Kong in September 2026.

👇 Read the full interview in the latest issue of The 21st Century Director to discover how HKACS translates governance into lasting social impact!

【《廿一世紀董事》專訪亮點|每一份信任,都承載著陪伴患者走過抗癌路的承諾】

在抗癌這條路上,除了前線醫護的悉心照顧,背後更需要一套穩健、專業且充滿溫度的管治體系作為堅實後盾。
最新一期《廿一世紀董事》雜誌特別專訪了香港防癌會董事局,聽他們講述如何以「使命導向、互信合作」的管治精神帶領機構前行。透過嚴謹的財務匯報與多層監督,董事局確保「慈善愛心病床」與「心願計劃」等服務發揮最大效益,讓每份社會善款都用得其所。他們更善用網上支援平台與數據分析,將防癌資訊與心理輔導延伸至每個需要的角落。從推動跨界別政策倡導,到積極備戰 2026 年 9 月在港舉辦的國際級「世界癌症大會」,香港防癌會正不斷把 ESG 與社會責任轉化為深遠的社區影響力。
