    Canon Hong Kong advocate Green Lunar New Year through Red Packet Recycling and Food Donation ​​​​​Program

    Lunar New Year is the traditional Chinese Festival to share love and care. To enjoy the festival time with everyone in the city, Canon Hongkong Co., Ltd. (Canon Hong Kong) had organized the Red Packet Recycling and Food Donation programs to raise awareness on environmental conservation.

    This is the 12th consecutive year for Canon Hong Kong to participating in Greeners Action’s Red Packet Recycling Program as the Red Packets Sponsor, encouraged all staff and their families to reuse and recycle the red packets to achieve environmental conservation. Joint with Canon Engineering Hongkong (CEHK) and Canon Electronic Business Machines (CEBM), over 7,000 pieces of used red packets were collected. The sorted recycle red packets will be distributed to schools, women organizations, and mutual aids committees for free though the arrangement of Greeners Action.

    We do care for families in need during the festival time as well. Thus, Canon Hong Kong supported the Food Donation program for the 5th consecutive year and call for our staff active participations. All the food collected are sorted and donated to St. James' Settlement’s People's Food Bank, to help the low-income group, unemployed and street sleepers. This year we have collected 514 items of food in total for the needy.

    Greeners Action held the “Red Packet Recycling Program” kickoff ceremony on January 30.
