Cleaning Coastlines

This year, several teams of Community Ambassadors spent time cleaning up coastlines in Hong Kong and Miami, U.S.A.

On 21st September 2019, International Coastal Clean-up Day, 20 of our employees and 29 of their friends and family members collected over 30kg of garbage at Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park.

On 12th October 2019, our Community Ambassadors organised a “Mudflats Clean-up” event on Lantau Island, Hong Kong. Fifty Community Ambassadors and their family members cleaned mudflats at Shui Hau Wan, Hong Kong to improve the natural habitat for native horseshoe crabs, collecting more than 95kg of coastal trash.

On 17th October 2019, some of our employees with Swire Hotels went to the Chi Ma Wan peninsula on Lantau Island, Hong Kong for a beach clean-up session. A team of 24 colleagues from The Upper House, EAST, Hong Kong and the Swire Hotels Central Support Office participated, picking up more than 250kg of garbage.
