In the spirit of philanthropy, we launched various education-for-all and poverty

relief initiatives to assist students in economically depressed regions, as well as for

disadvantaged families in the community, in a bid to improve their educational and living

circumstances. Meanwhile, we also launched carbon-reduction and greening activities,

including tree planting , which involved employees, their families, customers and the

public, to promote a green and low-carbon lifestyle.

Soup to Warm the Heart

In December 2016, we launched a campaign

to help fight winter flu among the elderly. In

collaboration with the Social Welfare Department

and six district community centres, the Company

donated more than 600 servings of hot soup,

together with lucky bags, to elderly people

living alone in Wan Chai and Eastern districts.

Approximately 600 volunteers took part in the

campaign. Towngas has been donating over

470,000 bowls of soup to the nourish elderly and

vulnerable people since 1999.

Farming for Fun

Established in 2014, this has been one of our

major volunteering activities. Every Saturday,

volunteers take turns to work on an organic

farm in Fanling. In 2016, approximately 640 kg

of vegetables were harvested, which were

distributed to 2,093 beneficiaries.
