Annual Report 2021

The Group values employees as our most precious asset and is committed to providing all employees with a safe, healthy, equal-opportunity and non-discriminatory working environment. We are an “Equal Opportunity Employer”. We value dedication and respect, and work hard to instill a sense of unity, ownership and professionalism in all our employees in a coordinated effort to achieve our Group’s Mission, Vision and Business Strategies. It is the policy of the Group to remunerate employees in a fair and equitable manner and provide continuous-learning environment and opportunities to our employees at all levels to help them grow and excel in productivity. There was no non-compliance case noted in relation to laws and regulations regarding employment, employee’s compensation, occupational safety and health, minimum wage and anti- discrimination that had a significant impact on the Group for the year ended 31 December 2021. (I) Employment, Remuneration and Benefits We reward our employees with competitive remuneration packages, which include competitive compensation and benefits, such as medical and life insurance, dental benefit, marriage, maternity and paternity leaves, free meal, free sports and recreational facilities. The Group reviews its Remuneration and Benefits Programs on a regular basis to ensure the programs are in compliance with the latest laws, in line with market practice and in keeping with market conditions and levels of remuneration. We have established strict compliance controls over the requirements under the labour law including prevention of use of child and forced labour and extended such expectations to our supply chain. As such, we checked the identity of every applicant in the recruitment process, performed job reference checking, and clearly delineated staff remuneration and benefits to the applicant before entering into employment contract. A set of policies and procedures on human resources matters has been well developed and without ambiguity. Our internal audit regularly reviews the established controls for further improvement, and rectification action will be taken immediately if any deficiency is identified. The Group is honored to be the recipient of the “15 Years Plus Caring Company” award from The Hong Kong Council of Social Service, “Certificate of the Good Employer Charter” from Labour Department and “Good MPF Employer Award” from Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority. (II) Anti-discrimination, Equal Opportunity and Diversity The Group is staffed by a diverse group of employees, who provide us with a valuable mix of perspectives, skills, experience and knowledge for addressing contemporary business issues. Our approach to the selection of candidates is consistent with the Board Diversity Policy which takes into account a range of diversity perspectives. These include but are not limited to gender, age, cultural and educational background, professional experience, skills, knowledge and length of service. The Group ensures equal opportunity and non-discrimination in recruitment, promotion and all other aspects of our employment practices. In protecting our employees from unfair or discriminative treatment, sexual harassment or any other sort of abuse, we have established policies and procedures and whistleblowing channels for employees to direct any grievances, which will be appropriately handled in a timely manner.
