AEON Stores (Hong Kong) Co., Limited
AEON has been dedicated to meet its obligations of being a good corporate citizen, trying its best to contribute to the community by holding different CSR programs. Starting from August 2012, AEON has launched a fund-raising Campaign named “Yellow Receipt” in Hong Kong and other areas of China on the 11th of each month. In that day, an extra receipt in yellow colour (yellow receipt) will be given to our customers after purchasing with the total transaction amount printed on it. Customers are invited to vote for the charity organizations that they would like to support by putting the yellow receipts into the given boxes. Goods with the value of 1% of total transaction amount voted will be donated to the organizations by AEON to support their charitable activities. Up to 11 July 2014, AEON has held “Yellow Receipt” campaign in China for 2 years. Total 141 stores of 13 group companies in 17 cities have joined this campaign and total 190 charity organizations have participated and be benefited.
