Subcommittees have been established around the six focus areas and among which, the sub-committee of ‘wellness’ is taking the lead to ensure a healthy working and living environment for colleagues and customers. An integrated green project called ‘Farm Together’, which exemplifies the Green focus area, allows colleagues to enjoy the healing power of farming at six urban farms. Sustainability is integral to business and operations. Ms Elaine Liu, Associate Director & CHR Officer, Sino Group said, “Employees’ well-being and health are our top priority. Happy staff, means happy customers. If we take good care of our staff, they will be able to take good care of our customers with outstanding service. We hope to drive awareness of mental health and psychological well-being and offer support to our colleagues.’n
