The number of Hactl’s caring staff who took part in the company’s latest Blood Donation Day, held in March in conjunction with Hong Kong Red Cross, was up by a massive 50%. The next Blood Donation Day will be held in August.
Hactl’s third "Clean Week", which aims to promote cleanliness in the terminal, kicked off with Hong Kong's “Keep Clean Ambassador”, Ah Tak, joining Hactl staff in singing and dancing at the opening ceremony, at which Hactl presented awards for "Best Cleaning Partner – Truckers" and "Best Cleaning Partner – Cleaning Agents". Clean Week activities included guided tours of plastics recycling facilities for Hactl staff, themed games, and DIY soap-making and eco-enzyme (environmentally-friendly) detergent-making workshops. Hactl staff also had the opportunity to visit the WEEE Park (a Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment treatment and recycling facility) and EcoPark (Hong Kong's first recycling-business park), and to participate in a Clean Week Slogan Competition.
