Kit Man's Commitment to Caring: Reflecting on the 2016 Tandem Charity Ride and Our Ongoing Support for an Inclusive Community

At Kit Man, we believe that the value of a company extends beyond manufacturing quality products; it lies in making a positive impact on the communities we serve. Our commitment to social responsibility is not a recent endeavor but a long and steadfast journey. Looking back, one of the events that fills us with immense pride is our participation in and support for the "2016 Pacific Foundation Tandem Charity Ride," organized by the Hong Kong Society for the Blind (HKSB) to celebrate its 60th anniversary.

A Remarkable Feat of Social Inclusion

The "2016 Pacific Foundation Tandem Charity Ride" was a truly meaningful and pioneering event. Held on November 27, 2016, at the Hong Kong Science Park, it brought together 100 pairs of cyclists, each team comprising a sighted rider and a visually impaired partner, to complete a 10-kilometer journey on tandem bicycles. This was more than just a cycling event; it fulfilled the dream of cycling for many visually impaired individuals and perfectly embodied the spirit of inclusion, trust, and mutual support through the teamwork of sighted guides and their partners.

Kit Man was honored to be one of the supporters of this initiative. We firmly believe that the most direct and effective way to fulfill our corporate social responsibility is by actively supporting local charitable organizations like the Hong Kong Society for the Blind. This event allowed us to witness firsthand the unifying power of community and the boundless potential that everyone can unleash when given equal opportunities.

A Continuous Commitment Beyond a Single Event

Our dedication to the community does not stop at a single event. As stated in our social responsibility promise, Kit Man is committed to collaborating with local charitable organizations, giving back to society through product donations and support. For years, we have consistently supported the Hong Kong Federation of the Blind and other non-profit organizations, empowering their community services and projects.

From our 15-year journey with the "Walk for Millions," to our recent support for autism and special needs communities, receiving the "Outstanding SME ESG Award 2024," and backing school charity programs, Kit Man's management and employees have always been passionate about giving back. We integrate ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles into our core operations, such as achieving a 100% recycling rate in 2023, and we encourage our team to actively participate in community activities that foster social and economic development.

Looking Ahead: Building a Better Society Together

Since our founder, Mr. Richard Leung, established the company in Hong Kong in 1998, Kit Man has been deeply rooted in the local community. We are proud to be a part of Hong Kong's social fabric and will continue to leverage our resources and industry expertise to support those in need.

Moving forward, Kit Man will uphold its commitment not only to pursue excellence and innovation in bag manufacturing but also to remain deeply invested in community service. We will continue to work hand-in-hand with our partners from all sectors to build a more caring, equitable, and sustainable inclusive society.
