Hopewell Holdings Limited
Sustainability Report 2010/11
I was impressed by colleagues
collaborating across various business
units and departments, serving the
community together. With our family
members, athletes and secondary
school students joining us, over
100 volunteers participated in the
Tuen Ng Elderly Visit which is indeed
a good demonstration of our focus on
community partnerships.

Hopewell Highway Infrastructure Limited
The total amount of our community contributions was HK$8,749,853
(including sponsorship, cash donations and in-kind contributions).
Corporate Volunteer Team
The Group’s formal volunteer team was established in early 2011.
One of the missions of the team is to share their experiences of
volunteering in community related projects with non-participating
employees so as to encourage further participation. Employee
volunteering up until June 2011 amounted to over 430 hours.
In May 2011, the inaugural activity of the team was held with over
100 volunteers, including more than 70 staff from the Group and
their family members, local athletes and members of the Hong Kong
Outstanding Students’ Association. The team visited over 100 elderly
people living in Wan Chai, Aberdeen, Kwun Tong and Tsuen Wan, and
presented them with healthy vegetarian rice dumplings and other
gifts to celebrate the Chinese Dragon Boat Festival.

Contributions
To support the community further, we encourage employees to
take part in charitable and community events initiated by our NGO
partners. For example, 160 of our employees participated in the
Walk for Millions organised by the Community Chest.
Our joint venture companies in Mainland China are also active
in supporting community events In November 2010, the GS
Superhighway Joint Venture sent 37 volunteer employees to the
2010 Asian Games and Asian Games for the Disabled held in
Guangzhou to help control traffic flow. The Heyuan Joint Venture
donated 476,000 bricks (worth over RMB 120,000) to three deprived
villages in Heyuan. Tables and other classroom supplies were also
donated to a rural primary school within the community.
