Mainland China
- CASH worked with UNICEF to encourage staff to make donations following the Qinghai Earthquake in April 2010. The company matched staff contributions on a dollar-for-dollar basis to maximise donations.
- The Sichuan Earthquake catastrophe in May 2008 was tremendous in scale. The Group, together with its Chairman, encouraged its employees to donate and pledged to match their contribution on dollar-to-dollar basis, in rendering the relief and rebuild operations. In addition, the subsidiaries under the Group used their strong sales network to hold fundraising activities and call everyone in the territory to help the victims.
Overseas
- On 26 December 2004, the natural disasters of a powerful earthquake off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia followed by a deadly tsunami devastated many people's lives in countries around Asia. More than 200,000 were killed, millions were displaced and many children were made orphans. CASH launched a fund-raising drive to help young survivors, with donations going directly to UNICEF.
- CASH Group made a donation to "World Heart Day". The event sought to raise public awareness about heart disease and the need for a healthy lifestyle.
Our future lies in the hands of the next generation. Social progress therefore depends on an excellent learning environment and quality education for young people. Mr. Bankee Kwan, Chairman of CASH, is dedicated to promoting education. He has set up education funds to assist students with financial difficulties. He has also made donations to different educational institutions in Hong Kong, other areas of China and overseas for scientific research and student scholarships.

CASH believes that contributing to society is the due responsibility of every local organisation. We strongly encourage our employees to participate in all kinds of voluntary activities for the less privileged in the community.
