First Climate Disclosure Report

Enhancing Disclosure, Transparency and Governance
In line with our commitment to align with international standards and respond to regulatory advancements, we debuted our climate-risk management framework in FY2024. As the number one fast casual restaurant group in Hong Kong, we voluntarily prepared our inaugural disclosure report (link), referencing the IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures standard, aiming to foster transparency for our climate-related efforts, focusing on four core elements: governance, risk management, strategy, and metrics and targets.

Food Waste Management

Prevent, Reuse and Recycle Food Waste
We incentivise “Less Mixian” and “Light Mixian” orders to promote mindful consumption and prevent food waste at source. By launching pilot food waste recycling programs with landlords in Hong Kong, we aim to reduce landfill waste. We are actively exploring opportunities to expand these initiatives to private shopping malls, further reducing solid waste and promoting recyclability. In collaboration with Food Angel, Foodlink Foundation, and Feeding Hong Kong, we regularly donate surplus pork belly from our Central Kitchen to be transformed into meal boxes for those in need.

Plastic-free Initiatives

Eliminating Single-use Plastics
We recognise our responsibility in promoting and encouraging customers to opt for reusable tableware. Since October 2023, all plastic cutlery with eco-friendly paper alternatives in our restaurants, where customers need to pay HK$1 for each set of takeaway cutlery. The response has been remarkable, with approximately 70% of takeaway customers choosing to forgo disposable cutlery. Aligning with the new cutlery policy, we launched a redemption campaign for reusable cutlery sets, encouraging customers to adopt ESG practices in their daily routines.

Green Procurement And Sustainable Sourcing

Protect Biodiversity
We prioritise local sourcing to support local businesses and reduce the environmental impact associated with transportation, commonly known as “food mileage”. We also focus on sourcing sustainable seafood to protect marine biodiversity and promote responsible fishing practices. Our restaurants have introduced series of fish-related menu featuring items such as SamGor’s fish bean curd, TamJai’s crisp grass carp and fish soup base. These offerings are made using WWF-certified sustainable fish products, ensuring that they align with our commitment to sustainability and marine conservation.

Inaugural Waste Audit

To Develop Targeted Strategies for Waste Reduction
We conducted our first waste audit at our stores in Hong Kong in FY2023/24, aiming to gain a deeper understanding of our waste streams, identify waste composition patterns, and uncover opportunities for waste reduction.

In addition to identifying the top five waste components in our restaurants, we delved deeper to ascertain the top five sources of food waste during our operations, allowing us to develop targeted strategies to address these specific areas. Based on the audit results, we have set initial targets to reduce food waste, followed by plastic and metal waste, and to ultimately include other general waste categories.

Climate Risk Assessment

Get Ready for a Climate-resilient Future
We have engaged a third-party consultant, KPMG, to conduct standardised Climate Risk Assessment to identify our unique risks and opportunities for the management team.
