With a strong commitment to serving mankind, QNet is providing resources to victims of natural disasters, poverty and inequality worldwide through the QNet Pays Forward Initiative collaborated with and enabled by RYTHM Foundation. QNet Pays Forward is not merely implementing a platform, but more critically, is implementing and demonstrating impact, measuring it, and communicating an evocative message while providing sustainable solutions.
Often, the meaningful programmes QNet is supporting are in countries where our IRs are in as it is important for QNet to enact QNet Pays Forward activities in a real and tangible effort to give back to the communities in which we operate and where the IRs are.
QNet corporate staff around the world also ‘pay it forward’, by visiting local charities to donate necessities, money and a large dose of joy. Other donations to worthy charities and causes – funds for which are voluntarily raised by company employees and IRs, then matched by QNet – also epitomise the QNet Pays Forward initiative, which is enabled through RYTHM Foundation.
Some recent projects of QNet Pays Forward include:
- World Vision International (WVI), helping 121 children across 11 countries over a two-year sponsorship programme, in the largest corporate charity initiative in WVI’s history;
- Red Cross Thailand through the Royal Thai Navy;
- Hong Kong Anti-Cancer Society, the oldest anti-cancer non-profit organisation to raise awareness and serve cancer patients in Hong Kong;
- The United Nations World Food Programme for severe flooding in Pakistan;
- The Rainbow Project, a non-profit organisation that works with autistic children in Hong Kong;
- Regional Special Boarding School for Hearing Impaired Children in Taldykorgan, in the Almaty region of Kazakhstan, and;
- The Home for the Blind with Multiple Disabilities under the royal patronage of His Majesty the King of Thailand.
Vegetarian Principles
Vegetarianism is not a food choice nor is it a lifestyle statement or even a health preference; it is our company statement that life is sacred.
QNet practises and promotes vegetarianism as a means of raising awareness about global warming, animal cruelty, the impact of meat production on the environment, water and energy conservation, health concerns, and the widespread advantages to a vegetarian diet. We believe that a vegetarian diet greatly limits the ecological footprint of humans and helps ensure environmental stability. In line with this principle, QNet opts to serve only vegetarian meals at all corporate events and functions.
