This year, Canon HK has been honored with “Caring Company 15 Years Plus” logo for our continual commitment in the areas of “Caring for the Community”, “Caring for the Employees” and “Caring for the Environment” for 17 years. Proudly nominated by 8 organizations, it covers a wide spectrum from environmental education, support for disadvantaged group and teenager mental health.

Co-organized with People Service Centre Limited, the team also provide regular service to “Surplus Market Food Collection” on every Friday. The program successfully deliver food to the disadvantaged group while rescuing leftovers to be sent to landfills.

“Non-visual Photography Workshops” is hosted by the Arts with the Disabled Association HK (ADAHK), which shows the misconception of “The blind can’t take photo’. Though the perception of light, sound, touch, various senses, the sighted and the visually impaired could appreciate the arts and image together.

As one of the members of Corporate Volunteer Team, Mr. Shunichi Morinaga (2nd on the left) cleaned up the trash on the hiking trail at Shing Mun Reservoir Country Park, supporting the event by The Green Earth.

Organized by Suicide Prevention Services (SPS), we support “Photography Link YOUTH” project as the “Imaging Partner”. The project is aimed to support youth at-risk by providing a series of photo therapy services, promoting the message of accepting and expressing inner emotion and thought.

During “Lunar New Year Food Donation Program”, we donated over 210 items to the Kindness Centre of St. James' Settlement, delivering to the disadvantaged families.

Thanks to the interesting sharing by Vital Employee Service Consultancy - Christian Family Service Centre, our employee learnt Chair Yoga to improve their flexibility, which is an effective exercise for desk workers.

Supporting social enterprise is also important, therefore we have invited Image Pro, Tung Wah Group of Hospitals for event photography and branding video production for different programmes.

Organized by WWF-HK, Canon HK Corporate Volunteers was invited to support the removal of Mikania (the exotic vine known as “Plant Killer") in Mai Po Nature Reserve, protecting Mai Po Biodiversity.
