The establishment of three business Networks – Trading, Logistics and Distribution – opens the door to significant growth opportunities. It enables us to sell across these distinct yet interconnected areas. It also provides us with yet another way to serve our customers through expanded scope and capabilities. In these times of global economic uncertainty, this proposition will be especially important as we work toward a new era of growth. Undoubtedly, the market environment will remain challenging. While the US is expected to grow modestly, the Eurozone’s GDP may contract as the debt crisis continues to create drag on its economic recovery. Nevertheless, the Group has committed significant effort and resources to ensuring that its three Networks are equipped to grow.

  • Annual Report 2014-15.Pdf
    Message from the Chairman For the past 15 years, The Dragon Foundation has worked hard to bring together young ethnic Chinese from all over the world to know more about their heritage and to find out how best they may contribute both to their own communities and to China. With technology so highly developed – and advancing almost every day – I believe that these connections, collaborations and partnerships may only grow closer. Technology aims at more than just communication however, and today’s young people are seeking ways to harness its power for employment and education. For this reason, The Dragon Foundation co-organised with the Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups, the first Global Youth Entrepreneurs Forum. It brought together 400 young Chinese persons, including the Dragon 100 delegates, who sat down to learn, discuss and discover ways to improve their own entrepreneurial skills. The enrichment is not only for enhancing employability but also as a mean of driving the world economy. I remain impressed by the young “Dragons” who are always looking to the future, while also remaining committed to serving their communities. This is especially true of the Foundation’s two alumni associations, DragoNation and Envision Hong Kong. None of this would have been possible without the hard work and efforts of so many. My heartfelt thanks go to all the Foundation Directors, especially the Members of the Programme and Fund Raising Committees, for their tireless work. I would particularly like to thank Shelley Lee, Tenniel Chu and Christopher Lau for organising the Sixth Charity Golf Tournament at Mission Hills Shenzhen Clubbhouse.
