The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited (Towngas) remains committed to supporting the second cohort of the Strive and Rise Programme, initiated by the HKSAR Government.

On 16 March, Towngas again hosted the Towngas Green Day, with new elements introduced to the event. Dozens of mentees and mentors had the opportunity to visit Towngas headquarters, gaining insights into the development of the gas industry in Hong Kong, as well as Towngas' advancements in new energy and corporate innovation.

The brand-new Towngas Green Day kicked off at Towngas headquarters, offering participants, including mentees and mentors, an opportunity to learn more about the Company's 160-year journey in providing safe, reliable, and low-carbon energy supply to the community. Through an interactive trivia quiz, they discovered Towngas' initiatives and accomplishments in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices.

This year, a new addition to the tour was the visit to the Grid Control Centre, providing mentees and mentors with an understanding of the 24/7 uninterrupted gas transmission system in Hong Kong and the safety monitoring system of the gas network. Participants also had the opportunity to explore the Towngas Customer Service Hotline Centre, which operates round the clock to ensure prompt assistance and resolution of customer enquiries. Another exciting addition was the Smart Warehouse of Towngas, an award-winning facility demonstrating how the Company utilises cutting-edge technology to optimise operational processes, reduce manual handling, and enhance employee safety and efficiency.

The Towngas Hall of Innovation presents original equipment and technologies developed by Towngas employees, allowing mentees and mentors to explore the Company's culture of innovation. The Hall of Future Energy introduces the company's vision and applications in renewable energy. Moreover, Towngas prepared a virtual reality (VR) game to provide visitors with an immersive gas safety training experience.

Wing-sze, a participating mentee, said, 'The Towngas Green Day was a very special experience that helped me understand how businesses work. They not only care about the environment but also have projects to support disadvantaged communities. I hope I can also help people in need in the future.'

Mr Yip, a mentor, mentioned, 'I feel that this activity was incredibly rewarding and provided the mentees with valuable knowledge. The use of VR technology was particularly impressive as it allowed us to feel as if we were in the actual working environment of Towngas, enabling us to understand the significance of safety measures.

Mr Lam Ming-wing, Towngas Head of Corporate Human Resources and Head of Corporate Safety and Environment, remarked, 'Towngas will consistently prioritise the personal growth of students as a core objective. We aim to assist students in pursuing their dreams, fostering problem-solving abilities, and inspiring them to explore their potential. Through this initiative, we encourage mentees to discover their own value and share this awareness, collectively building a sustainable future.'

Towngas is set to host another Towngas Green Day in September, aiming to inspire more young individuals and assist them in exploring a wider range of personal development opportunities.
