Kenneth Lo, the textile magnate who incorporated the gender equality best practices and anti-sexual harassment awareness into the employee care programme of the world’s largest clothing producer, has been awarded the Businessperson of the Year award at the 2021 DHL-SCMP Hong Kong Business Awards.

Lo, the founder of Hong Kong-listed Crystal International Group Limited, led seven categories honoured by the peer-judged awards, which have been recognising outstanding corporate and entrepreneurial achievements in the city since 1990. Lo won the 2016 Owner-Operator Award, a category that has since been discontinued.
The annual awards held the first in-person black tie dinner since 2018 at The Grand Hyatt, after turning virtual for two consecutive years in 2019 and during the Covid-19 pandemic last year.
The return of the gala event correlated with the city’s bounce back from its worst recession on record, said Gary Liu, chief executive officer of the South China Morning Post.
“Others might write the city off whenever a crisis shakes the region, but it is the vision, agility and the ‘Lion Rock Spirit’ of solidarity and perseverance that sets this business community apart,” Liu said.
