irst Pacific is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year by getting back to grass roots. We have been honored to be able to support the needy in communities in Hong Kong, Indonesia and the Philippines, with an approximate total of HK$3 million special donations. The recipients were vulnerable groups who were particularly impacted by COVID-19. The Group’s over 121,000 employees redoubled their efforts this year to provide vital services and products in Southeast Asia, such as food, telecommunications, water, electricity, healthcare and support to our communities through good times and bad. Our people’s tireless dedication and caring have nurtured the Group for the past four decades. With support from our stakeholders, we are changing lives - and the communities we operate in - for the better, and for a sustainable future.
