Sustainability in Action: ESG Commitments
I have actively contributed to real-world sustainability through hands-on ESG initiatives.
I organized a coastal cleanup and coral reef conservation initiative in collaboration with the Barracuda Diving Centre and local NGOs. It included underwater cleaning, diving training, and environmental awareness programs.
🌍 Carbon Neutral Since 2024
I have committed to measurable climate action by aligning both my lifestyle and professional practices with carbon reduction goals. As part of this commitment, I voluntarily cancelled 12 CERs (Certified Emission Reductions) via the UNFCCC Clean Development Mechanism, supporting the Fujian Jiangle Gaotang Hydropower Project. This cancellation equates to offsetting 12 tonnes of CO₂, reinforcing my active support for clean energy and international climate frameworks.
Safety Monitoring Dashboards
I specialize in building interactive Power BI dashboards that transform raw safety data into actionable insights. These tools are designed to support safety professionals, compliance teams, and decision-makers with real-time visibility across key health and safety metrics.
