Charity Programmes

The Group established the ‘‘Hung Fook Tong Volunteers Team’’ in 2008, which has organised a number of volunteer activities. Corporate teams have participated in charitable activities such as “Oxfam Trailwalker”, “The Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon”, “AXA Hong Kong Streetathon” and “MTR race walking”. In addition, the Group collaborates with a number of local and international non-profit organisations. It also provides employment opportunities in various positions to the underprivileged, helping them realise their potential and enabling them to be self-reliant.

The Group donates its products and coupons to hundreds of social service organisations every year and provided sponsorships in the form of food coupons for ‘‘The Community Chest Skip Lunch Day’’ for seven consecutive years. It also set up donation boxes and in-store broadcast televisions in its retail shops for non-profit organisations to promote and collect donations.

Environmental Protection Programmes

The Group has been offering food waste from its plants to a recycling company on a daily basis. The waste is subsequently turned into animal feed.

A number of Hung Fook Tong retail shops have continued to provide surplus food to the less fortunate. The Group has also offered festive food to several food banks, including Food Angel, Feeding Hong Kong and Food Grace during the year.

As a further means of encouraging the recycling of tortoise herbal jelly containers, the Group continued to offer bonus points to JIKA Club members for each container that they clean and return to its retail shops.
