Luen Thai has been working hard at being lean and green long before it became fashionable. It includes green pratices as well as green awareness amongst employees.
To encourage business unit's commitment to environment care, Luen Thai formally launched a group-wide initiative - Go Green! in 2007.
Luen Thai decided to Go Green not only because it makes good business sense, but most importantly, because it is the RIGHT THING TO DO.
