Rice Dumplings for the Community
Since 2013, this initiative has donated more than
RMB2.9 million to 32 schools throughout the
provinces of Jiangxi, Anhui, Jiangsu, Shandong,
Guizhou, Shaanxi, Liaoning and Sichuan, and 200
households in Hubei province. The money is used
for building libraries, dormitories, renovating
houses and buying new learning materials
and sports equipment to improve the learning
environment and quality of education for students.
Similar to our programme in Hong Kong, this
initiative has attracted more than 80 companies
within the Group to participate. Together, they
have wrapped and distributed more than 46,000
rice dumplings for welfare groups, people in need
and construction workers. In addition, more than
20 million festive gifts were handed out in 2016,
benefitting nearly 9,000 people.
Hua Yan Siyuan Programme
Hua Yan Water has been building its identity as a
socially responsible company by launching the
Hua Yan Siyuan programme to introduce a series
of educational activities about water conservation
and low-carbon living concepts. For example,
Set-fish-free – a Water and Eco-friendly Event
was organised on World Water Day to raise public
awareness about water shortages and ways to
protect water resources.
