Recently, Kempinski Hotels Group launched its BE Health CSR program in China, with the first program to be launched at the Sino-Ocean Kempinski Hotel in Hangzhou. We are aware that we cannot truly achieve sustainable development on our own. We have long been trying to find and work with partner organisations and projects. The Ocean Sails Foundation shares our vision and goals and has been working effectively for the common good since 2008. Health and environmental protection and supporting education are their core focus, and their concrete charity projects have proven to help improve the living environment in some remote areas of China, and contribute to the education and physical and mental health of children and youth across the country.
Mr Bernard, Chairman of the Management Committee of BE Health and CEO of Kempinski Hotels Group, Mr Han Sile, Chief Operating Officer of Kempinski Hotels Asia and General Manager of Beijing Kayan International Hotel Management Company Limited, Mr Li Zesheng, Vice President of Sino-Ocean Group and Chairman of Sino-Ocean Sail Charity Foundation, and Mr Zhao Wenwu, Executive Vice President of the Commercial Division of Sino-Ocean Group and Director of Sino-Ocean Sail Charity Foundation. Mr. Zhao Wenwu, Executive Vice President of the Business Division of Sino-Ocean Group and Director of Sino-Ocean Foundation, signed a strategic cooperation agreement to support the development of local communities in China through the "Little Partners" growth program. Starting with the Sino-Ocean Kempinski Hotel Hangzhou, Kempinski hotels in China will communicate the concept of philanthropy to hotel guests, promote joint participation and support for philanthropic projects and, where possible, initiate health prevention activities in the workplace and in their communities.
