Founder Story
From Environmental Action to Community Regeneration.
Ricky Wong has spent more than a decade working across environmental action, community education and social-impact practice. His journey began with tree planting, agriculture, community programmes, environmental action and multi-stakeholder collaboration, gradually leading to one central understanding: environmental, human, community and economic challenges are rarely separate.
What changed his thinking was not whether an event could attract people. It was what remained after it ended. Would participants return? Would corporate resources create long-term value? Would communities become more capable? Could the work be understood, evidenced and replicated by others?
