This year, the Environment and Conservation Fund (ECF) sees its 30th anniversary, marking three decades of unwavering commitment to Hong Kong's environment and nature conservation. Established in June 1994 under the Environment and Conservation Fund Ordinance (Cap. 450), the ECF has been a key force in promoting sustainable practices and raising environmental awareness throughout the community.
To commemorate this significant milestone, the ECF Committee is hosting a series of events, starting with a grand launching ceremony with its partners on June 3. During the ceremony, ECF's new logo and visual identity were introduced, which symbolises the Fund's ongoing commitment to supporting environmental and nature conservation projects. The seed in the logo represents ECF's role in funding initiatives that grow and flourish, contributing to a greener community.
