Deliveroo HK, Plastic Ocean Foundation to help save Ha Pak Lai’s environment

Deliveroo riders will help in shoreline cleaning and waste collection.

Deliveroo Hong Kong announced its partnership with A Plastic Ocean Foundation to help eliminate pollution woes in Ha Pak Lai’s environment, one of Hong Kong’s richest biodiverse areas.

Activities include beach clean-ups and planting bamboo trees which will prevent soil erosion, read the statement.

More than 200 Deliveroo employees, riders, and their family members will help in shoreline cleanup and collect at least one tonne of ocean waste by 2023

Andrew Hui, General Manager of Deliveroo Hong Kong, said, “Deliveroo is committed to being a part of the communities by taking steps to drive sustainability. With this collaboration initiative, we hope to stimulate and accelerate new eco-friendly behaviours that will contribute to long-term, sustainable change across generations. We believe that the solution to climate change is a communal effort, and so we're excited to collaborate with APOF to take another step toward environmental preservation by contributing to ocean conservation, repairing the local ecology, and developing sustainable economies that benefit everyone. In addition, we're excited to work with like-minded riders and their families to promote environmental conservation, resulting in a cleaner, more sustainable environment for everybody.”
