Caring for the environment

Climate change, pollution and overexploitation of natural resources all pose a substantial threat to society and the long-term sustainability of our natural systems. For this reason, the Group remains dedicated to doing our part to protect the environment and conserve natural resources. Over the years, we have strived to minimize the negative impacts arising from our operations by proactively adopting environmentally-friendly measures and policies in forms of reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions; reducing waste; and using resources wisely.

Caring for our employees

Employees are an integral part of our Company and we are devoted to providing our staff with a fulfilling work experience and career advancement. The Group implements different measures to recruit the best talents, help employees develop their full potentials and protect them from harm in the workplace.

Promoting work-life balance

We understand that employees view achieving a healthy work-life balance as a primary concern and the Group makes every endeavor to promote this goal. Starting 1 January 2019, we eliminated the alternate Saturday workday in our Hong Kong office and switched to a five-day work week so that employees can enjoy weekends with families and friends.

Activities for our employees

Employees are invited to participate in corporate events like Christmas Lunch, Chinese New Year Lunch, and Annual Dinner as well as other leisure activities such as recreational group outings, birthday parties, speech competitions and flower arrangement activities etc. By organizing different activities, the Group hopes not only to enhance the sense of belonging among employees but also foster a warm and friendly working environment.
