Cheung Kei Group has always been mindful of its social and environmental responsibilities and has been an active participant in the Earth Hour campaign over the years. Before the start of the event, the Group's official WeChat account had begun to publicise and share the promotional poster of the campaign, to call on its staff and office tenants to join them in taking action, to switch off any non-essential lighting and electrical appliances during Earth hour, in a bid to inspire them to join in the movement to protect the environment.
