Sustainability Report 2011
“Towngas is a socially committed enterprise. In the last few years, they
have actively provided community services in partnership with our
organisation. In their rice dumpling and cookie teaching activities, their
skillful volunteers provide a wonderful performance, whether in their
planning, the preparation of ingredients, or during the activity itself.
In their “Igniting Bright Futures” programme, Towngas not only
provides Hong Kong’s young people with working experience, it also
provides them with mentors to inspire and teach them good working
skills and a positive attitude. These mentors are patient, enthusiastic
and caring. This is truly a wonderful programme that provides these
young people with better career paths.”

CookEasy
Our first social enterprise took off in 2008,
in partnership with the Tung Wah Group of
Hospitals. Creating employment opportunities
for people with disabilities, CookEasy provides
a pre-prepared food pack service based
on “healthy-diet ”recipes designed by our
Towngas Cooking Centre. In addition to
winning Next Magazine’s CSE Social Service
Award in 2010 and the Home Affairs Bureau’s
“Outstanding Friends of Social Enterprise”
award in 2011, CookEasy continues to be
recognised as a valuable initiative providing
solid benefits for the community.
