Ocean's 10 with WWF

Solomon Systech is the major sponsor of WWF's latest 3-year "Ocean's 10" project. The aim of this project is to raise public awareness of our marine heritage by introducing 10 "flagship" species and thereby fostering the perception of Hong Kong as a diverse biological habitat. The project entails a series of campaigns including a bus body painting competition, the launch of an interactive website and a photo competition for the public. In full support of WWF's intention, the Group took the initiative to sponsor the entire project to help improve the environment and create a better tomorrow.
