Team members from the Hong Kong office rolled up their sleeves with Food Angel, working side by side to tackle food waste and support those facing food insecurity in the community.
What began as a goal to prepare 600 meal boxes quickly turned into something far greater. Together, the team of 24 packed 3,103 meals in a single day—more than five times the original target—contributing approximately 12% of Food Angel’s total daily meal output.
In Hong Kong, one-third of the elderly and one-in-six children live in poverty, while thousands of tonnes of food waste are generated daily. Food Angel helps bridge this gap by rescuing surplus food and transforming it into more than 25,000 meals each day. Beyond nutrition, each meal also serves as a connection point—supporting outreach efforts and helping identify those who need additional care.
This initiative speaks to the collective impact of our people at their best. Special recognition to Alvin Tay for his leadership, Sophia Fung for her partnership in co-organizing, and to all 24 colleagues whose dedication made this effort possible.
As a member of the Hong Kong team and a recent recipient of the Atlas Globe Award for Making Sustainability a Competitive Advantage, I see this as a strong reflection of who we are at Atlas—extending our commitment to sustainability beyond our operations and into the communities we serve.
Set against the backdrop of National Volunteer Month, this day was a powerful reminder that impact is not only measured in scale, but in shared action. I’m incredibly proud of our Hong Kong team for demonstrating what’s possible when we come together to reduce waste, support those in need, and make a meaningful difference.
