WHEREVER we live or work, we have many
basic needs in common, be they food, reliable
access to electricity, a clean and hygienic
home environment and, to make the world go
round, love. This issue of
Sphere
magazine
touches on all these.
We survey Hutchison employees across
the network to discover the diversity of
cuisines they enjoy. We find out how Power
Assets has become a global player, building
on the success of Hongkong Electric. We
learn how Hutchison China is transforming
everyday necessities with its White Cat
homecare products. Finally, we look at love
in action as participants in Round 1 of the
Li Ka Shing Foundation’s “Love Ideas, Love
HK” philanthropic campaign complete their
projects.
Happy reading and we welcome your
feedback to
