My Sustainability Goals for 2025:
- Achieve near-zero waste production by expanding ingredient upcycling programs—transforming surplus fruits, tea leaves, and other raw materials into premium beverages and value-added byproducts such as natural fertilizers—while optimizing manufacturing processes to minimize resource loss.
- Reduce carbon footprint across the supply chain through the adoption of renewable energy sources in production, upgrading to energy-efficient machinery, implementing smarter logistics, and prioritizing local sourcing to cut transportation emissions.
- Scale sustainable beverage innovations by leveraging PTAEM (Proprietary Temperature & Aroma Extraction Method) and AI-driven R&D to create next-generation drinks that deliver exceptional taste, clean labels, and measurable environmental benefits, aiming to set a new benchmark for the beverage industry.

With thanks to
AirGuard
AirGuard inactivates bacteria and viruses (including SARS-Cov-2) using a plant-based, non-toxic and biodegradable solution. Once diffused into the air, its suspended fine particles eliminate pathogens on contact. This active technology can be installed in offices, schools, hospitals, hotels, etc. to help safeguard the health and well-being of Hong Kong’s citizens.
Our sustainability goals for 2022:
We focus on our contribution to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals:
- Provide clean indoor air (and kill Covid-19) to improve health and well-being (SDG#3).
- Our solution eliminates bacteria and viruses for effective air sanitation (SDG#6).
- The solution’s fine particles remain suspended in the air and neutralize pathogens on contact, representing a more innovative technology than passive filters (SDG#9).
- Using advanced sensors, we offer clients a web-based dashboard to monitor their indoor air quality (IAQ), providing data for connected and sustainable living (SDG#11).
- Our solution is plant-based, all-natural, and fully biodegradable; we also seek to eliminate the use of plastics and practice the 3 ‘R’s: reduce, reuse, recycle (SDG#15).
- We are partnering with a major engineering consultancy, a robotics firm and other technology leaders to provide a truly holistic service to our clients (SDG#17).
