Annual Report 2019

Take the Leadership We have continuously engaged in various campaigns organized by different environmental protection organizations such as Earth Hour of WWF, Hong Kong No Air-Con Night of Green Sense, and Green Power Hike of Green Power to promote environmental conservation. In 2019, Mira Place promoted the “Used Book Recycling Campaign” organized by World Vision and collected 309 books for donation to its charity book sale. By recycling the used books, we also shared joy and knowledge to the others. In addition, the Group has organized workshops to share practical tips on living out green concepts in daily life, such as DIY workshops for making CNY ornaments with the used red pockets, to inspire and develop green living style of the staff. (III) Care of Environment We value the importance of environmental protection and strives to minimize undesirable impact of the environment on the community’s well-being. We are constantly involved in various activities organized by different environmental organizations. Take Actions Since 2013, our hotels have been collaborating with Food Angel and Foodlink Foundation to donate leftover food to people in need. In 2019, we have donated over 2,532kg of leftover food to Food Angel and Foodlink Foundation. Same as last year, our staff has participated in Meal Boxes Preparation Volunteering Activity at Central Kitchen of Food Angel by Bo Charity Foundation, promoting the virtue of treasuring food and reducing food waste. Mira Dining has supported the mooncake collection campaign hosted by FOOD-CO since 2017 and further joined the New Year Pudding donation campaign this year to echo the culture of “Save & Share”, a total of 150 coconut cream puddings and 350 pieces of mooncakes was donated to 3 charity organizations lined up by FOOD-CO. Connecting People through Music We believe music is a universal language connecting people across cultural and linguistic boundaries. This year, The Mira Hong Kong sponsored hotel rooms for overseas performers of the True Colors Symphony coming to Hong Kong for their first concert performance. True Colors Symphony is organized under the project of PMA Music Foundation, which draws world-wide talented musicians with different ages, with or without physical and intellectual disabilities, to practice and perform classic music together. It aims to promote senses of acceptance and social harmony. Moreover, Mira Place joined hands with the selected pop-up stores to donate part of the proceeds in supporting the work of WATOTO, a charitable organization set up to help orphans and vulnerable women in Africa. The WATOTO Children’s Choir also shared their stories through their performance of dance and songs in Mira Place during the Christmas time. Supporting & Participation in Charity and Community Activities In 2019, our staff continued to participate in Red Cross Blood Donation Day, ORBIS World Sight Day and Community Chest Dress Casual Day. Moreover, Mira Place partnered with Citistore to host the “Secret PetGarden” pop-up store to raise public awareness to animal rights, and supported the dog adoption programme organized by “House of Joy and Mercy”.
