A series of activities will be held in the second half of the year to help the public to relax and encourage pursuit of physical and mental well-being.

In addition to the Group's commitment to caring and building a harmonious society, the Group also places much emphasis on how environmental management and corporate governance can contribute to sustainable development. On the environmental management front, HGC has sought to reduce its carbon footprint by adopting such measures as deploying energy-efficient networks, working with environmentally-friendly suppliers, and using more energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly HVAC systems when upgrading its hubs; As for corporate governance, the Group is dedicated to building a fair and equitable working environment, requiring employees to declare any conflict of interest every year, and has zero tolerance for fraud, corruption and any other form of crime in the workplace. To protect the rights and interests of employees, HGC has in place confidential policy to protect whistleblowers, and a reward and punishment system to encourage employees and partners to raise matter of concerns. Together with them, the Group hopes to enhance transparency of its information and strengthen sustainable development of its business. 

NEXX has organized a number of major awards over the years to promote technological innovation and advancement in Hong Kong, with a view to establishing the city into Asia's leading technological innovation hub. NEXX Sustainability and ESG Awards 2024 themed "Embracing Sustainable Futures: Harnessing Tech Innovation for a Resilient and Thriving Tomorrow" was co-organised by NEXX and City University of Hong Kong Global EMBA, with the support of Cyberport, the Hong Kong Design Centre, the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park and the Hong Kong Institute of Project Management. HGC won the "Community Education and Engagement Award" for its "HGC Summer Jam 2023" and "GreenTech ICT Open Day" this year, testifying to its outstanding achievements in promoting sustainable development and striving to build a harmonious society, worthy of emulation by industry peers.

Danny Tai, Chief Compliance Officer of HGC, said: "We are very honored to receive this award in the area of ESG, recognizing our efforts particularly in community education and engagement. As a leading telecommunications operator, HGC is well aware of the importance of environmental management, social responsibility, and good corporate governance in building a sustainable business. We have specific goals set and plan to, via different initiatives and activities, enable the Group to better fulfil its corporate citizenship. For example, by formulating a series of health and safety measures including appointing safety officers, compiling health and safety manuals, and requiring employees working in the office or outdoors to receive health and safety training twice a year to ensure a healthy and safe working environment. Looking ahead, HGC will implement ESG programme in more overseas offices, and to extend the mission to promoting sustainable development to others by requesting service providers and partners to fulfill the commitment to carbon reduction, working hand-in-hand with us to build a better and inclusive future."
