Sun Hung Kai & Co, UA Finance, and Sun Hung Kai Credit Staff Volunteers

Participate in Renewable Energy Workshop with SEN Children

On 24 September 2023, the staff volunteers of Sun Hung Kai & Co. Limited (SEHK: 86) ("SHK & Co."), along with its subsidiaries United Asia Finance Limited and Sun Hung Kai Credit Limited, joined forces to participate in a Renewable Energy Workshop. This collaborative event was organised in partnership with CarbonCare InnoLab ("CCIL") and Heep Hong Society. The workshop aimed to bring together volunteers and children with special educational needs (SEN) in an interactive and enjoyable setting, where they could learn about the advantages of sustainable energy and develop an awareness of climate change.

After an educational briefing on climate change and renewable energy delivered by CCIL, volunteers paired up with SEN children from Heep Hong Society, to create solar-powered torches. The solar torch DIY workshop has proofed to provide multiple benefits for the children, including enhanced sensory stimulation, muscle training, improved social skills, and inspiration for their creativity.

This engaging activity not only allows participants to learn how to incorporate renewable energy in their daily lives but also empowering them to embrace clean energy practices. In addition, by bringing together volunteers and the SEN children, the collaboration fostered social inclusion by

It also reminded everyone about our shared responsibility for environmental protection."
