Offtimes, the world can seem a turbulent,
topsy-turvy place. Old ways and old
institutions are questioned as their relevance
seems to wane in the face of new challenges.
But some organisations adapt, grow and
advance. The CK Hutchison Group is such
an organisation, and new technologies,
new jobs and new opportunities emerge
every day to the benefit of our employees,
customers, partners and communities.
Within the Group, A S Watson is an
exemplar of benevolent continuity as
it reaches the milestone of 175 years in
business. What does 175 years look like?
Over 13,000 stores, 132,000 people
earning a living with A S Watson and
millions of customers getting what they
need from its outlets each year.
Across the Group, our companies develop
and deliver healthy products that not only
treat us right, but also delight our taste
buds! Sometimes people need better
options to entice them to do the right thing
and CK Hutchison companies make it
easy for people to make wise choices
in an often confusing world.
Religious traditions can also provide
guidance, continuity and serenity in a
changing world. The Tsz Shan Monastery
not only provides modern architecture
in temples with ancient themes, but also
conducts contemporary outreach to work
directly with people in Hong Kong’s urban
rough patches, to heal lives and souls.
While avoiding hubris, we can recognise
that this force for good arises from well-
meaning and hard-working people with
common values and coordinated efforts.
Mr Li Ka-shing addressed this thinking
recently at Shantou University, encouraging
students to humbly apply their talents to
be that force for good.
While there may always seem to be
turmoil roiling the heavens and earth, it is
helpful to look around at the things that
persist and benefit humanity. From this we
can have the confidence to move onwards
and upwards, with our spirits raised!
