HONG KONG, Feb. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Based in Hong Kong, HGC Global Communications (HGC) has business across the globe. HGC not only provides a wide array of high-quality telecommunications services, but also adheres to the belief we have a corporate social responsibility to give back to society. During the pandemic, HGC is firmly following its “Go Ahead” spirit and has made eight major commitments to continue to help Hong Kong people to meet pressing needs.

Combating the Pandemic First

• Commitment 1 : HGC has reserved five times as many coronavirus rapid antigen testing kits as its frontline staff headcount, in case of emergency. HGC staff will also self-test regularly to give customers peace of mind.
• Commitment 2： In addition to regular tests for salespersons and onsite broadband installation technical staff at all service points, HGC has implemented a series of protective measures. HGC technical staff will also check the lists of buildings with confirmed cases and buildings under compulsory testing notices, and coordinate with customer service staff to reschedule installation bookings for customers in advance. Any members of HGC technical team who have visited buildings under compulsory testing notices will do a COVID-19 test immediately and stop working until a negative test report is provided.
• Commitment 3：Staff are working on rotation to maintain daily customer services and support.

Caring for Our Community

• Commitment 4 : HGCmore, the online store owned by HGC, is offering discounts on a variety of anti-epidemic products to help reduce the cost of maintaining home hygiene for customers.  
• Commitment 5: HGC will donate rapid test kits to “Principal Chan Free Tutorial World” to give out to families in need.

Putting Customers First

• Commitment 6 : HGC will provide complimentary hmvod service for two months* for existing HGC Broadband customers who are under mandatory quarantine.
• Commitment 7 : HGC will also provide an express upgrade offer to 2.2G Fibre Broadband Service* for customers to enjoy a smoother seamless work-from-home and home learning experience with less financial burden.
• Commitment 8: HGC customers can call HGC hotline 1226 or visit HGC official website at www.hgcbroadband.com to complete broadband registration, contract renewal and bill payment so they do not need to leave their home so they can enjoy service fee or gift vouchers offers etc.

Andrew Kwok, Chief Executive Officer of HGC Group, said, “Our hearts are always with the people of Hong Kong. Since the outbreak of the coronavirus, we have distributed 50,000 face masks to Hong Kong citizens. This time, we have made eight major commitments to continue to help people from all walks of life to cope with the unprecedented new wave of the pandemic and fulfil our corporate social responsibilities.
