In this episode of Entrepreneurs For Good, I speak with the extraordinary David Yeung about his work to build and scale Asia’s largest plant-based lifestyle brand.
CO-Founder of Green Common, he has experienced a period exponential growth over the last four years. Growing from a small team who were stabilizing their first stores in Hong Kong, to a team of more than 400 that now has 10 stores in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Singapore.
On top of that, they have also begun launching their own product lines under the OmniPork! brand, and are seeing phenomenal market excitement and growth across Asia… and beyond!
Through this time, David’s work has been recognized by the Schwab Foundation, Ernst & Yong, PETA Asia, Time, and HK Tatler for his work, and he is regularly asked to speak at events around the world to speak about his vision for a sustainable future.
There are few mission driven entrepreneurs whose views are scale could me more inspiring, and educational, as David’s, and I hope that you will enjoy our conversation.
About the Entrepreneurs For Good Series:
Through this series, we speak with Asia based entrepreneurs whose mission it is to bring solutions to the environmental, social, and economic challenges that are faced within the region to learn more about their vision, the opportunities they see, and challenges that they have had to overcome.
