Century Receives “K” Line Group Environmental Excellence Award

Century is proud to receive the Excellence Award in “K” Line Group Environmental Awards 2019. We are honored that our commitment to fulfilling our responsibility towards a healthy and sustainable environment has received recognition and appreciation.

Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, Soap Recycling, and Beach Clean-up were recognized for contributing to K-Line’s sustainability goal of “Securing Blue Seas for Tomorrow”. Century team members participated in a soap recycling activity organized by a Hong Kong non-profit organization that works with the hospitality industry to collect, process, and distribute lightly used soap bars and bottled amenities. Our volunteers processed 60kg of cleaned soap, 800 bottles of bottled bath products, and sewed 15 soap packing bags. Our contribution had a direct impact on reducing instances of preventable child diseases in Southeast Asian countries due to a lack of access to soap for sanitation and hygiene.

In addition, Century also performed a beach cleaning initiative at Little Palm Beach in Hong Kong. In a half-day. the twenty employee volunteers collected 26 bags/150kg of waste and 2 bags of recyclable plastic waste.

Frances Yu (Fourth Right), General Manager, Human Resources & Administration (Asia), represented Century to receive the award. Sustainability is an integral part of our culture and we will continue our efforts to care for the environment!
