Responsible Business Workshop (RBW) 2026 ─ Info Page for International Partners

Responsible Business Workshop (RBW) 2026—a structured cross-institutional learning programme that enables students to examine how leading organisations embed responsible practices into daily operations, while developing practical capabilities through international, team-based learning.

RBW 2026 will be delivered in a hybrid format, combining:

• Global classroom learning through three interactive online workshops; and

• Immersive experiential learning through an in-person study tour in Hong Kong.

  
  

The online workshops will feature international faculty speakers from Japan, United Kingdom and Poland, sharing applied insights across key responsible business themes—ranging from sustainability risk and responsible supply chains, to business culture and sustainability leadership, and social enterprise management. Students will learn alongside peers from ABEN partner institutions and consolidate their learning through a team-based project.
