We are thrilled about the recent kick-off of the third cohort of the DFI Student Ambassador Programme!   The journey began with an exciting Orientation Day, where our new ambassadors connected with each other and received an overview of the exciting events and initiatives ahead in the coming months.    Their first activity was a visit to the iconic Pokfulam Farm, a century-old village heritage site of the Old Dairy Farm. This visit provided our ambassadors with a unique opportunity to delve into the rich history and legacy of the Old Dairy Farm. What's next? In the coming months, our Student Ambassadors will brainstorm and collaborate on their team projects and present their innovative ideas to the DFI teams. Stay tuned on this page to follow their journey with us!    #DFIRetailGroup #StudentAmbassadorProgramme #DFITalents #DFISAP2025 #CreatePossibilitiesEveryDay

Every year on 8 March, we come together to celebrate International Women's Day – a day dedicated to recognising and honouring the incredible achievements of women around the world. This year, we are thrilled to introduce our new campaign, "Journeys of Success: What Got Her Here?" – a tribute to the inspiring stories of women across our organisation, rooted in our servant leadership culture.   In line with the 2025 global theme of #AccelerateAction, this campaign spotlights one of our female team members each week. Through their unique career journeys, sources of inspiration, and stories of how they have #AcceleratedAction, we aim to celebrate their success and empower others to follow their lead.   In our debut episode, we are proud to feature Crystal Chan, DFI's Group Chief Technology and Information Officer (GCTIO). Did you know that in Asia, only 10-15% of CTO positions are held by women? Crystal is a trailblazer, championing diversity in tech and inspiring the next generation of leaders.   Her resilience and determination have shattered barriers in this male-dominated field. With her innovative leadership and ability to turn challenges into opportunities, Crystal continues to inspire us all.   #DFIRetailGroup #IWD #AccelerateAction #BreakingBarriers #Resilience #BounceBack #InspireFutureLeaders
