On this day, Citigroup colleagues in 100 countries around the world will join forces to demonstrate their commitment to their local communities. Volunteer teams will be working on hundreds of local projects addressing specific community needs, including literacy, housing, environmental protection, nutrition, health care and disaster relief. Citigroup expects more than 30,000 volunteers to participate in more than 800 projects in 400 cities. The themes for Hong Kong are People & Environment: reaching out to a large number of people and engaging in environmental protection. The two activities are: The Community Chest Flag Day and WWF-Workout for Nature. Citigroup Hong Kong senior managers and employees, along with family and friends will be joining these activities. Over 1,000 volunteers in Hong Kong will participate in a street flag sale across the territory to raise money for the Community Chest’s social welfare agencies. Volunteers will be spread across 16 full-service Citibank branches. Another 200-plus volunteers will help to cut exotic weeds at freshwater ponds at Mai Po Nature Reserve, located in Tam Kon Chau, Yuen Long. Friends and family can also sponsor volunteers according to the weight of weeds they remove from the ponds. “Citigroup is committed to mobilizing the enthusiasm and talents of our employees for community service,” said Charles Prince, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Citigroup. “Citigroup’s Global Community Day is a company-wide effort, with tens of thousands of volunteers working in Asia Pacific, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and North America.
