Dedicated to driving business innovation, Towngas advocates the principle of “Growth = innovation x implementation” (G = i × i), encouraging staff to apply and implement innovative ideas to bring about sustainable corporate development and progress. The Company’s “G = i × i” project was awarded the “HKMA Award for Excellence in Training and Development – Gold” and “Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group Excellence in Cultural Change” awards, underscoring its proactive response to market changes. By training staff to implement innovative ideas, Towngas has ensured that innovation forms a key part of its corporate culture.
The guiding policy of “G = i × i” is proposed by Mr Alfred Chan Wing-kin, Towngas Managing Director. He pointed out, “Growth is a top priority for all corporations. In this equation, G, or growth, needs to be supported by two i’s, or innovation and implementation.”
Going forward, Towngas will continue applying the management principle of “G = i × i” to bring about sustainable corporate development and progress. By elevating its standards for safety and service, the Company has sustained momentum for its business growth and created greater value for its stakeholders.
