15 Dec The 16th Anniversary Dinner and Award Ceremony 2021
Hong Kong Health Food Association
16 Years of Dedication Amidst Challenges
The 16th Anniversary Dinner and Award Ceremony held on 30th November 2021 has marked another milestone of Hong Kong Health Food Association reaching its 16 years of establishment.
Renowned guests from different sectors including government officials, councilors, university professors, representatives of major chambers of commerce, partners and members of the Association gathered together at the Sheraton Hotel, Tsim Sha Tsui to celebrate the event. More than a decade ago, health food did not enjoy a high level of public awareness. Thanks to the years of hard work of the Association and the industry, health foods are widely accepted by the public and the industry has been able to flourish.
It was our honour to have Dr. Bernard Chan Pak-li, JP, Deputy Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, to be our officiating guest and delivered an opening speech in the ceremony. It is impressive to see the efforts made by the Association over these years to enhance the acceptance of healthy food products, fortify product development, strengthen competitiveness of health food in Hong Kong, and deliver the correct and up to date health information to the public.
Speaking at the dinner, Mr. Nasser Khan, President of the Hong Kong Health Food Association, said that the coronavirus has wreaked havoc around the world, seriously affecting the business environment in many ways. The President summarized the efforts of the Association over the past year, which has been working tirelessly to help members to get through the tough period by providing members with a large number of information pertaining to the industry and market conditions. Through diversified publicity channels, exhibitions, and trade interflows, the Association aims to create more opportunities for members to expand their networks not only in Hong Kong, but also the Greater Bay Area and internationally.
In order to recognize member companies who have contributed remarkably to the industry, the society and consumers, the “Most Outstanding Performance Health Food Company Award” was ever introduced and presented during the night. The purpose is to encourage continuous improvement in the industry and to enhance industry standards, ultimately benefiting consumers. Up to 13 companies were shortlisted for the award. Companies are evaluated based on five criteria including their mission and leadership, marketing strategy and public awareness, product development and innovation, customer service, and corporate social responsibilities. The three prizewinning companies with outstanding performances were Amway Hong Kong Ltd., Vita Green Health Products Co., Ltd., and Wyeth (Hong Kong) Holding Company Limited (names listed in no particular order).
Moreover, ‘the Quality Product Seal ‘accreditation was newly introduced. Nu Life International (Asia) Ltd. and Best World Lifestyle (HK) Co. Ltd. were accredited by the Committee. This is an acknowledgement to verify safety specifications and production standards, providing quality assurances to the consumers
The President and Vice Presidents together appreciated the selfless service of the Council and support from members. We can assure that the newly elected Council will carry forward the cause and forge ahead into the future to bring Hong Kong Health Food Association to the next level !
