We wanted to acknowledge the valuable work carried out by our people. HKScan Awards, held for the first time, highlighted our teams’ collaboration, innovativeness and efforts towards continuous improvement. The sense of pride and joy was really visible at the Awards Ceremony.
The Awards were given in three categories – all very important to our daily work: Work safety, Profitability improvement and Advanced CR.
