G4, Chairman Tsao Pao Chee (TPC)
Chavalit Frederick Tsao is the fourth-generation steward of TPC (Tsao Pao Chee), a family business with more than 120 years of history, established in the late 1800s during the Qing Dynasty. He was born in Hong Kong, China, and after completing his education at the University of Michigan, Chavalit joined the family business at the age of 20 and became the chairman at the age of 37. He also served as the chairman of Intercargo, where he established innovative platforms to promote collaboration within the maritime sector.
Chavalit’s background and experience gave him unique insights into global sustainability challenges and founded East West Cultural Development Centre in 1995 to research this topic. He discovered that integrating ancient wisdom and modern science creates a holistic approach to cultivating leadership for this era.
Session
Creating Impact Across Generations
Plenary
The world’s toughest challenges like climate change, poverty and inequality, cannot be solved without a long-term, systemic approach. Business families are uniquely positioned to play a central role in solving them, due to their multi-generational approach and intrinsic focus on longevity.
FBN creates pathways for families to create systemic change through sustainable business transformation, investments, philanthropy and advocacy. In this panel, we will hear from three families who have leveraged these drivers of change and activated multiple forms of capital to contribute meaningfully to the world.
