Hang Lung Group was founded in Hong Kong on September 13, 1960, and while its
roots remain in the city, the Group’s business has been expanding across the
Mainland since the early 1990s. Hang Lung has now developed 11 landmark
commercial complexes in nine Mainland cities, bringing its operational space
and areas under development to over 50 million square feet. Underlining the
corporate values of caring for people and customer centricity, as well as a
modern spirit of innovation, Hang Lung strives for the sustainable development
of its businesses and the communities in which it operates.
Mr. Weber Lo, Chief Executive Officer of Hang
Lung Properties, said, “While expanding our businesses, Hang Lung endeavors to
give back to society and create shared value through community programs and
voluntary services. To commemorate the important milestone of the 60th
anniversary of our Group, we have organized volunteering activities across Hong
Kong and nine Mainland cities to take place simultaneously for our employees,
their families and our tenant volunteers to celebrate in a more meaningful way.
We believe that with the mutual trust and shared benefits we have built, and
together with the support of our stakeholders, the Group will continue building
on its proud history over the last six decades and achieve even greater
accomplishments going forward.”
In Hong Kong, the COVID-19 pandemic has deeply
affected the daily lives and studies of underprivileged students, where
insufficient online resources have impeded their learning. The Hang Lung As One
Volunteer Team therefore teamed up with St. James Settlement and Principal Chan
Free Tutorial World to provide “Welcome Back to School Kits” for 150 grassroot
students to help them be better prepared for the new school term, while
relieving their families from the back-to-school financial burden. The kits
come with a data SIM card, physical fitness teaching aids for parents and
children, a school bag, stationery, face masks and hand sanitizers.
The volunteering activities on the Mainland
were also tailored to the needs of local communities. Volunteers provided
support to those in need and enhanced their awareness for the prevention of the
pandemic. Beneficiaries ranged from families facing financial difficulties,
students and teachers from schools specialized for children with agricultural
and blue-collar backgrounds, elderly persons and cleaners, to students from
rural schools. The activities included supporting online learning at a rural
primary school, providing professional sanitizing services at grassroots
schools, as well as distributing anti-pandemic health kits and learning kits.
Hang Lung is always committed to fulfilling
its corporate social responsibility and caring for the needy. Besides
organizing programs such as the “Hang Lung Mathematics Awards” and the “Hang
Lung Young Architects Program” to nurture younger generations, we also actively
promote a culture of volunteering among our staff. The Hang Lung As One
Volunteer Team was established in 2012 in Hong Kong, and currently all 11
projects across nine Mainland cities have formed teams of local volunteers. By
making use of our corporate resources, we contribute to the community with a
focus on youth education and development, elderly services, and environmental
protection. The Hang Lung As One Volunteer Team has over 1,700 volunteers and
contributes more than 13,000 service hours every year.
