FMCC to support NGO on food safety, environmental awareness project

The Annual Charity Gala Dinner 2023 for the French chamber will this year support the local branch of the Society of Food & Environmental Health (SGEH) in their flagship project, ‘Leave No Food Behind.’

This initiative centers on upcycling food trimmings and off-shelf vegetables into healthy pet food by applying various food technologies and food safety experiences.

“This ‘circular economy’ approach in reducing food waste while also demonstrating compassion for life symbolizes our mutual commitment to promote sustainable practices and strive for a brighter future for our community,” the France Macau Chamber of Commerce (FMCC) announced in press conference.

Themed ‘Paris Extravaganza,’ the gala dinner will be held at MGM Macau on September 15.

Celebrating its 15th anniversary, the gala is expected to be joined by many community and business leaders in Macau and the Greater Bay Area.

Also, this year, the chamber will launch the inaugural ‘FMCC Macau ESG Awards,’ a groundbreaking initiative set to recognize outstanding contributions in the areas of Environment, Social, and Governance (ESG) within Macau.

The elected winners from three categories (Best Project, Best SME, Best NGO) will be announced during the Gala Dinner.

Last year, the FMCC Charity Gala Dinner raised a total of MOP61,000 to support the city’s drug rehabilitation center. Themed ‘Around the World in 80 Days,’ the proceeds from the event were given to the Association of Rehabilitation of Drug Abusers of Macau (ARTM) to launch its awareness program around the abuse of alcohol and its impacts, including the setting up of a 24-hour hotline.
