The Social Responsibility of Henderson Group

Henderson Land has been actively fulfilling its corporate social responsibility and striving to become a good corporate citizen. The group is committed to commercial activities beneficial to society, economy and environment, and actively supports and participates in social welfare undertakings at various levels, including education, community work, culture and art, sustainable development and environmental protection education, and even large-scale national activities. Over the years, the Group has received awards and commendations from all walks of life in recognition of its contribution to society. After the Sichuan earthquake in 2008, Mr. Li Jiajie, Vice Chairman of the Group, personally went to Chengdu to help promote post-disaster reconstruction. As the founder of Cherish Life Fund, Mr. Li organized psychologists and psychiatrists to provide psychological consultation for victims and organized post-disaster rehabilitation training courses.

On May 4th, 2008, Mr. Li Ka-shing, Vice Chairman of the Group, donated a cheque of HK$ 65,438+0,000,000 to the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on behalf of Henderson Land and the Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited to assist the post-disaster reconstruction project in Sichuan.

Dr Lee Shau Kee, the chairman of this group, is unwilling to be followed by others because of his kindness. Up to now, his warm project has trained more than 6,543,800 farmers and 1 10,000 rural doctors. In 2005, Lee Shau Kee Fund donated 330 million yuan to support the project, and at the same time, employees of Henderson Land Company gave their full support as volunteers. In 2009, the Fund donated 74 million yuan to Guangxi and Ningxia Autonomous Region, of which 60 million yuan was used for the training of migrant workers, and the rest/kloc-0.40 million yuan was used for the construction of 6,000 water cellars in Ningxia Autonomous Region to solve the local drought.

Since 2006, the Group has been the main sponsor of the Summer Bridge Project in Hong Kong, helping the disadvantaged students in Hong Kong, providing them with free high-quality English learning courses and improving their academic performance. The Group has spared no effort to support cultural and artistic activities, including sponsoring the roving exhibition of the Louvre Museum in France-"Touch, Feeling and Touch-Louvre Sculpture Exhibition" 2009/20 10, and exhibiting 18 sculptures of the Louvre "Touch Art Gallery", aiming at enabling visually impaired people to appreciate these works of art more directly by touching the exhibits. All the exhibits in this exhibition are replicas of famous sculptures in the Louvre, including Venus in Milo, gladiators and slave uprisings in Borges. The Asian roving exhibition was first held in Taipei and Kaohsiung in early 2009, and then exhibited in Beijing, Fuzhou and Wuhan, which was warmly welcomed by the visually impaired and the public. The next stop of the Asia Tour is planned to be held in Beijing World Financial Center, a new landmark of the Group, to coincide with its grand opening ceremony. The roving exhibition will end in Hong Kong.

In order to let the public feel the breath of European art and culture, the group sponsored the French May Art Festival hosted by the French Consulate General in Hong Kong and Macao in 2008. It includes a series of colorful cultural and artistic activities, such as art exhibitions, music and dance performances and dramas, as well as food and wine carnivals.
