Reading for a better TOMorrow
The TOM Group visited the Fong Shu
Fook Tong kindergarten in Hong Kong to
donate books to underprivileged children.
The group’s 10-year commitment to give
the gift of reading, delivered through their
“Love to Share·Love to Read” programme,
aims to cultivate a lifetime reading habit
among people from all walks of life. This
year’s focus on the environment saw
them partner with the Baby-Kingdom
Environment Protection Education Fund to
instil a strong sense of environmentalism
in schoolkids.
Every Step Counts
The HK Electric Volunteers Team
celebrated its 10th anniversary this year,
registering more than 36,000 service
hours in caring for the environment
and the community. With elderly care
as its key service focus, HK Electric
volunteers pay monthly visits to single
elders, especially those with financial and
mobility problems, and help them buy
bulky daily necessities.
Infrastructure
Park your money - high-flying returns
In July 2014, a 50/50 joint venture comprising Cheung Kong Infrastructure
and Cheung Kong Holdings acquired Park’N Fly, the largest off-airport
car park provider in Canada. The enterprise value of the transaction was
approximately CAD381 million. Park’N Fly provides off-airport car park
solutions in Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Edmonton and Ottawa.
Hotels
Five sensuous senses
In celebration of the 12th anniversary
of the Harbour Plaza Metropolis (Hong
Kong), the hotel launched “A Touch of
Five Senses” room package in August. By
incorporating five sensory inputs – mood
lighting (Sight), massage (Touch), custom
Canto-pop (Sound), a tasting dinner
(Taste), and boutique aromatherapy
(Smell) – into nine designated themed
rooms, guests were able to enjoy a brand-
new type of hotel experience.
