In 2016, HL&C was also awarded, for the nine consecutive years, the 'Caring Company Recognition' by HKCSS in appreciation for its efforts on staff, community and environment caring. In the past year, we have joined a variety of community activities such as elderly visit, volunteer flag selling and seaside cleaning etc… Moreover, we have attended to the needs of its colleagues with the introduction of sports week, parent-child activities, birthday parties, body check and advance on-job training, etc. In March 2016, we have participated at the Smoking Cessation Program. The program has included health talks and the set up of a No-Smoking Policy to its staff so that they may be more aware of the harm from smoking and secondhand smoking. Furthermore, work shops have also been set up, under the No-Smoking Policy, to assist smoking staff to be benefited from the program. For those who have successfully ceased from smoking, awards were given as a recognition for their efforts.

As a follow up program, it has allocated funds to its colleagues, who have quitted smoking, to participate in enhancement programs; these programs includes Yoga, Gym training and various other sports activities. Encouragement was also given to staff to sign up for a Smoke-Free Work Place to share more about life after smoking cessation. HL&C sincerely hope that it will help the society to become healthier and cleaner.
