At The Bite Project we offer a free day to our people each year to use for their own thoughtful activity, e.g. cultural, creative, educational, volunteering, family time etc. We call it T-time, a.k.a “thoughtful time”. We also have an annual team T-Time where we all get together to do an activity. This year it was a team volunteering day. Doing volunteering as a team can be a great way to encourage staff to volunteer without them having to organise it off their own back - and by showing them it’s a company commitment that leadership are on board with (not just lip service). This year the team headed over to Port Melbourne to do “Cooking for a Cause” with OzHarvest. This is a great initiative as it has a range of important benefits - education, helping the environment and assisting those in need. We learnt about zero-waste cooking, sustainability…and some handy cooking skills. During our session our team was able to make use of surplus food rescued from landfill to make gourmet meals. These were then sent off to feed people in vulnerable communities. Learning that Australians throw 1 in every 5 grocery bags in the bin has definitely made me think about food waste at home more seriously. It was a nice way to get out of the office, connect with the team and feel good doing something that helps a very worthy cause. 💪 Achievements 17 sticky date puddings 69 mushroom & veg pockets 60ish people fed 10kg of food rescued from landfill Organising a team day for a cause that aligns with everyone’s values is a great way to give back - and have fun while doing it. #volunteering #teambuilding #cookingforacause #ozharvest #sustainability

Events can be incredibly wasteful. We at The Bite Project are extremely conscious of it at every event we deliver. It was while running an event catering business that Ronni Kahn, founder of OzHarvest, noticed the waste and decided to do something about it. This is why OzHarvest, for us, is a perfect fit for our T-time team days. (T-time is short for thoughtful time and is a day every year we take as a team and as individuals to do something thoughtful). Getting your people together to do something like this is a great way to: ⚡ bond - teamwork is the dreamwork ⚡ inspire - team feeling flat? Get them out together doing something different ⚡ reiterate core values - sustainability is a key part of our value - thoughtful - this provided the team with hands-on experience with this 👇 This is some amazing team being, inspiration, and thoughtfulness right here.

Asahi x Food Angel #Volunteering – The love power of 3,000 eggs and 1,000 hot meal boxes.   Last week, colleagues from the Asahi Hong Kong Office spent a meaningful afternoon volunteering at Food Angel's food preparation kitchen in Sham Shui Po. We worked together as a team to crack 3,000 eggs (yes, 3,000 eggs!) and prepare close to 1,000 hot meal boxes efficiently for Food Angel. These meals were later distributed to people in need in society as part of Food Angel's mission to rescue food and relieve hunger with love,   In Asahi, we believe that our #legacy is not only in the joy we create with our drinks and delivering #greattaste promises to customers. It's also about connecting with all the #people we work with, #society, and the #planet. Each of our contributions might be small, but they add up to something we can feel proud of. Organizing and participating in volunteering activities as an Asahi team created meaningful conventions among ourselves and offered us a chance to connect with society and leave some #positive #footprints on our beloved neighborhood and the planet.   #AsahiBeerAsia #WeAreAsahi #Asahi #Volunteer #MeaningfulConnections #CreateMeaningfulConnections #FoodResuce #ZeroHungerGoal

One of the many benefits of not working full time is that I get to chose what to support, how to support and how much of my time they get. Promoting a vegan lifestyle is high up on my list - probably joint with raising awareness on Diabetes impact. #veganism #veganlifestyle #volunteeringmatters
