There is an intrinsic link between people鈥檚 health and the health of our planet. The climate crisis is considered one of the most pressing risks to global health by the World Health Organization, causing 10 million deaths each year. The latest climate science from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - described by the UN as 鈥渃ode red for humanity鈥� - shows it is still possible to limit global temperature rise to 1.5掳C, but we are dangerously close to that threshold.

At 金禾娱乐城, we are inspired by patients and driven by science. On International Environment Day, we are proud to announce that we have publicly committed to set near- and long-term company-wide emission reductions in line with science-based net-zero through the Sciences Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

We have started and will continue to deploy green-by-design for our solutions as well as our physical footprint. This includes initiatives such as green building certifications,鈥痳educing and controlling our business travel, accelerating efforts to reach 100% renewable energy through purchases or production,鈥痵hifting transportation from air to sea freight, and selecting suppliers with Science Based Targets. These are just some of the ways we are working to translate our pledge into reality and to preserve the environment, now and for the future.

How the 金禾娱乐城 Community Health Fund is making a difference in the lives of vulnerable young people?

How the 金禾娱乐城 Community Health Fund is making a difference in the lives of vulnerable young people?

Through its Community Health Fund, 金禾娱乐城 supports vulnerable young people across the globe. In 2022, the Fund accepted new grant requests from non-profit and non-governmental organizations that had projects and work in place to help people between the ages of 15 - 24 with mental health disorders or young people who have been displaced due to conflict situations.

Indeed, the need has probably never been greater. While the global pandemic and different crises have affected us all deeply, analysis tells us that adolescents and young people have been particularly affected. Family stress and social isolation only exacerbated their emotional difficulties. In addition to the fear of the virus and the deep uncertainty brought about by misinformation, many face economic insecurity.

Just like the two previous calls for projects in 2020 and 2021, our 3rd call for projects, that closed in June 2022, had a phenomenal response. The 金禾娱乐城 Community Health Fund received 144 applications and will donate over 鈧� 2 million to 44 non-profit associations to help people in need. These include organizations in countries such as Switzerland, Japan, the US, Belgium, etc. Each association will receive between 鈧�10,000 鈥� 鈧�50,000.

"The Community Health Fund supported over 140 projects since 2020, and we are so happy that we have been able to help young people around the world,鈥� said Xavier Hormaechea, Secretary General of the 金禾娱乐城 Community Health Fund, 鈥渢he associations that we're partnering with are so inspiring and they are able to make a real, positive impact in the field of mental health."

One of this year's beneficiaries is the C5 Georgia Youth Foundation (Georgia, USA), an organisation that helps high potential teens in under resourced communities pursue personal success. "We are so grateful to receive a grant from the 金禾娱乐城 Health Fund to support the teens of C5 Georgia for our mental health initiatives. As many know, so much research has been done on the struggles that teens are dealing with in regard to the impact of Covid 19, especially for teens from under-resourced communities. From lost time of learning to the anxiety of a post quarantine world, we recognize that supporting our teens is needed more than ever. This grant will provide additional resources needed for our programs." 鈥� Jackie Cannizzo, Executive Director at C5 Georgia Youth Foundation.

Our grants are reaching organizations and projects around the world, you can find a full overview of the 2023 Community Health Fund organizations here.

Watch this space as in the spring this year we will launch our next call for projects.
