EXP is the building blocks of EXPloration. EXPerience. EXPerimentation. That is what NWS’s signature CSV (Creating Shared Value) program EXP Journey is all about.
 
Since its inception in 2020, the NWS “EXP” Journey has been a signature programme designed to build on three strategic themes: Exploring, Experience, and Experimentation. This programme empowers students to go beyond the classroom and discover their passions. In FY2024, we are excited to announce a comprehensive revamp of the programme to deepen these themes, forming an inclusive foundation aimed at:
 
• Nurturing a diverse range of future leaders
• Encouraging continuous learning, adaptation, and innovation
• Cultivating resilient, visionary, and inclusive individuals
• Bringing varied perspectives and experiences to roles

Discarded wooden pallet is one of the key wastes in the logistic sector. In order to address the waste problem, this pilot project explores the potential of upgrading and recycling discarded wooden pallets from the ATL Logistics Centre, transforming them into functional furniture items such as shelves, bar counters, and bench. These upcycled creations are placed in the transitional housing project ‘To•Gather’ @ Sam Shing in Tuen Mun, enhancing shared spaces and fostering community engagement. This initiative not only reduces waste, but also strengthens community bonds, earning the Hong Kong Volunteer Award 2023 for Outstanding Collaboration Project, co-organized by the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau and the Agency for Volunteer Service.

We have extended our efforts to the ‘Yap Ting Terraced Home’ Transitional Housing Project in Tseung Kwan O in FY2024. By producing upcycled recreational facilities, we aim to create a friendly living environment and help tenants build social networks with their neighbors. This strategic approach not only addresses environmental sustainability, but also promotes social cohesion and community well-being. 
Since 2022, NWS and Christian Action have collaborated to provide regular Chinese enrichment classes and activities for underprivileged Ethnic Minority (“EM”) children in Hong Kong. This initiative aims to ignite their passion for learning and improve their proficiency in Chinese and Cantonese for everyday use. 

We believe that strengthening Chinese language abilities must start from a young age. By focusing on early language development, we aim to enhance their proficiency, which is crucial for better integration into school life and the broader community. Proficient Chinese language skills facilitate the integration of EM children into school life, enhance their comprehension of teaching materials, and foster greater community engagement for their families.

NWS strives to nurture a sustainable and inclusive community by closely collaborating with our business units and building deeper ties with local communities. Leveraging our resources and network, the NWS Holdings Charities Foundation Committee (“The Foundation”) leads our community impact investment which focus on three key areas: “Empower for Change”, “Build for Support”, and “Drive for the Future”. We aim to partner with charity partners to drive positive changes, fostering a sustainable and inclusive community for all.

 

In FY2024, we introduced a Charitable Giving Policy that outlines the guidelines for charitable contributions made by the Group and all business units.
