Reducing carbon emissions and eating healthy has set off a trend towards plant-based eating. In Hong Kong, Vitasoy International Holdings Limited (“Vitasoy”) has always been committed to providing consumers with delicious, sustainable and plant-based nutritional food and beverages, and in Hong Kong, Vitasoy has taken the physical and mental health of children and adolescents as the goal of community service and actively cared for the society.
Plant-based milk can provide nutrients to the body, and the production process brings benefits to the environment. Vitasoy has always been committed to promoting the physical and mental health of school children, giving back to the society through participating in community activities, and cultivating a sustainable green lifestyle. Recently, Vitasoy has collaborated with community organizations to distribute love gift packages to more than 300 elderly and underprivileged families, including childlike handmade soy wax aromatherapy and greeting cards made by school children, as well as Vitasoy Calcium Sibao Soy Milk, etc., to convey the message of delicious, sustainable, plant-based nutritional diet from children to the elderly and the community.

Nutrition projects help grassroots students learn in a variety of ways
As early as 2015, Vitasoy collaborated with St. James’ Settlement’s “Education for Changing the Future Service” to organise the “Nutrition Exploration Tour”, and since 2017, with the support of the Social Welfare Department, it has been working together to provide diversified learning opportunities for grassroots primary and secondary school students to cultivate the importance of healthy eating habits. Kwan Wai-yu, Senior Service Manager (Poverty Alleviation Services) of St. James’ Settlement, said, “Grassroots families often neglect healthy eating because they save on living expenses. In view of this, St. James’ Settlement has been working closely with Vitasoy for many years to promote the importance of food nutrition through various programmes, so that children can develop healthily and physically.” The programme has served about 2,300 people so far.

This year, in response to the epidemic and community defense measures, Vitasoy integrated online and offline elements of the “Nutrition Exploration Journey” to nearly 300 students in the form of animations and short videos explained by nutritionists, exploring the concept of plant-based nutrition and raising children’s awareness of nutrition and the benefits of plant-based eating habits. At the same time, it also explained the importance of Vitasoy production process and clean recycling, helping students establish sustainable consumption patterns.

In addition to learning about community revitalization work, 60 primary school students were invited to visit the “Blue House”, which has been revitalized from a Grade 1 historic building into a folk living hall, and to learn about the nutrition of soybeans and their diverse uses through games and workshops. Send care and blessings to the community.
