Social Enterprise Cleaning Services
We use cleaning services provided by social enterprises in our offices in Hong Kong.
Extending this practice, we also encourage our existing contractors to employ disabled
employees wherever possible.
Igniting Bright Futures
Brightening the future for disadvantaged youth in Hong Kong, this programme is
operated in conjunction with our Flame restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui. Under this scheme,
trainees undergo a one-year internship, working to become a professional chef under
the mentorship of our experienced chefs in the restaurant. With plans to create four
new job openings in 2012, this initiative is supported by the Hong Kong Federation of
Youth Groups, Youth Outreach, HKU School of Professional and Continuing Education as
well as the Chinese Cuisine Training Institute.
