Promoting Innovation
The Group promotes “intrapreneurship” by encouraging our staff at all levels to apply creativity in their jobs. We are also
going one step further to establish Group-wide practices to protect our intellectual property rights.
Through our Incubation Circle programme, staff are encouraged to form self-driven teams and provide ideas that help to
improve work processes, efficiency, products and services. In 2016, the Incubation Circle accepted proposals in six
categories — Process/Servicing Improvement, Engineering/Technology, Safety, Health and Working Environment,
Environmental Protection, Continuous Improvement and Chance (business innovation). Over 120 product or service
improvement proposals were received, representing over 400 efficiency improvement suggestions that resulted in cost-
saving initiatives valued at HK$25 million.
