Answering the call to this year’s World Ocean Day, Hong Leong Asia lined up a series of activities. Starting with a webinar to raise awareness about ocean protection and to encourage collective action for preserving ocean resources, the activities culminated in a beach clean-up in collaboration with the Ocean Purpose Project at Pasir Ris Beach.
 
During the two-hour activity, HLAsians collectively removed 62kg of waste and seaweed, or an average of 1.3kg per volunteer — significantly above the 0.88kg of domestic waste generated per person daily.

Looking ahead, HLA will explore other opportunities to contribute towards protecting the marine ecosystem in Singapore waters as well as reducing marine litter and plastic waste in the oceans to foster a more sustainable and healthier planet.
