On March 29 to 30, 2025, Crystal International Group Limited ("Crystal"), including Chairman Mr. Kenneth LO, CEO Mr. Andrew LO, and other management members, along with Yuk Ching Charity Trust ("Yuk Ching") Chairman Mrs. Yvonne LO, Trustees Mrs. Irene LO, Mrs. Selina LO and Mr. Tony LAI, and Secretary of Crystal Climate Charity Foundation("CCCF"), Mr. Edmund NG, joined over 250 colleagues from CMZS, ZSYD, DCKG, YJ and the Hong Kong Headquarter, 100 teachers and students from Shunde Luodingbang Middle School, and over 60 local officials and Qujiang District volunteers—totalling more than 410 participants  gathered in the lush green fields and rolling hills of Zhangshi Town, Qujiang District, Shaoguan. With their hands as brushes and saplings as ink, they collectively painted a verdant masterpiece across the land.

Despite the sudden drop in temperature and a persistent drizzle, the volunteers remained full of enthusiasm and smiles. Clad in matching raincoats and armed with shovels, they formed orderly lines as they trekked uphill, creating a striking and heartwarming sight against the crisp spring chill. This year, they planted ma bamboo—once fully grown, this bamboo forest will sequester over 1,000 tons of carbon annually, while its bamboo shoot yield will also benefit local villagers, embodying the principle of "ecological priority, green win-win."

Looking ahead, green and low-carbon development has become a global trend and a core pillar of Crystal’s corporate social responsibility strategy.

Since 2007, Crystal has made eco-conscious sustainability a key part of its development philosophy, promoting ecological tree-planting initiatives across its global operations for 18 years. Over the years, Yuk Ching has supported Crystal in implementing afforestation projects in Qujiang District, Shaoguan, and other provinces, covering an impressive 3,700 mu—an encouraging achievement.

With the strong support and enthusiastic participation of all involved, the 2025 Crystal Public Tree-Planting Activity concluded successfully. For years, Crystal has been walking the talk in advancing green development through tangible actions, taking firm strides toward sustainable development goals. We look forward to more partners joining Crystal’s "2050 Net-Zero Vision" to accelerate progress toward global carbon reduction targets!
