Press release

Hong Kong - 29 May 2018 -Hutchison Telecommunications Hong Kong Holdings Limited (HTHKH or the Group; stock code: 215) champions various community and environment-protection projects - and takes on charitable projects - as part of a robust commitment to socially-responsible corporate citizenship.

Helping to protect the environment ranks as one of the Group's top commitments to society, which is why it organised a tree-planting scheme in April. Employees were encouraged to support the Country Parks Plantation Enrichment Project run by The Green Earth and the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department. The Group sought to boost biodiversity and maintain woodland by planting native tree seedlings.

Another initiative, first undertaken in 2012, involves the Group equipping all 3Shop outlets with recycling boxes to collect old handsets and accessories. They are then passed to the government's Environmental Protection Department and voluntary organisations for recycling. The Group also plays a role in the Computer Recycling Programme run by the Environmental Protection Department since 2016.

Innovation is a watchword when the Group considers charitable projects. A prime example was a handset auction at the 3LIVE flagship store in Causeway Bay at the end of last year. Proceeds from auctioning three flagship handsets were donated to The Society for AIDS Care and the Community CareAge Foundation.

In addition, the Group has initiated three food donation programmes and entered teams for events such as the Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon, Hong Kong Computer Society FACE Club Charity Walk and early May's Walk & Run for Water 2018. Staff are always encouraged to raise money for charity by active participation.

HTHKH also demonstrates ongoing concern for the elderly. The Group has been meeting the communications needs of senior citizens since 2010 by harnessing our mobile network strength and organising the "Lo-Yau-Kee Monthly Service Plans Sponsorship Programme". What's more, elderly folk served by a number of charitable organisations get free handsets, along with a waiver of service fee charge. The Group has also been providing the Senior Citizen Home Safety Association with the comprehensive "e-Care Link" call-and-care service since 2015.

Looking ahead, HTHKH will continue to contribute to the community by committing to a diverse range of corporate social responsibility programmes and taking part in charitable events.
