Media OutReach Newswire – 3 September 2024 – º£½ÇÖ±²¥ Express, the world’s leading international express service provider, today announced that it has once again been appointed by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) as the logistics partner for this year’s CENTRESTAGE opening gala show,
CENTRESTAGE ELITES.

º£½ÇÖ±²¥ was first named as the event’s official logistics partner in 2016. This year, it has been tasked to handle the showpieces of Robert Wun – a renowned, Hong Kong-born designer who is the first local designer to showcase his creations at Paris Haute Couture Week. Now based in London, Wun’s pieces have been delivered from London to Hong Kong using º£½ÇÖ±²¥’s GoGreen Plus service, which integrates sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to achieve a significant reduction in CO2e emissions during transport.

With GoGreen Plus, º£½ÇÖ±²¥ Express implements decarbonization levers in the º£½ÇÖ±²¥ network and allocates these CO2e emissions reductions to customer shipments. For this specific delivery, the CO2e emissions in the shipping journey will be reduced by 50% via the use of SAF and a third-party auditor will verify the reductions.

“º£½ÇÖ±²¥ Express is honored to support the HKTDC as the official logistics partner for this year’s CENTRESTAGE ELITES. As we advocate for the development of Hong Kong’s fashion industry, we look forward to delivering the fashion and art pieces featured at the event sustainably via our GoGreen Plus service,” said

Sophia Chong, Deputy Executive Director of the HKTDC said.

This year’s grand opening show, CENTRESTAGE ELITES, will take place at the Hong Kong Palace Museum on September 3. It will be the “Home Coming” show presenting Mr. Wun’s haute couture collection. His appearance at CENTRESTAGE ELITES marks his triumphant return to Hong Kong and will also be the first designer to ever hold a fashion show at the Hong Kong Palace Museum. Attendees will enter through the museum’s iconic crimson red doors for an evening that will take them on an extraordinary journey.
