"We are delighted to see that over 70% of 'Consumer Caring Companies' have consistently upheld the customer-first principle for 5 years and more.

To commemorate the occasion, GS1 HK developed a book titled ¡y¥Ñ¹s¨ì+01¡z, which traces the rise of barcodes in Hong Kong, from revolutionsing the retail, to transforming the different local industries. The book aims to provide the future generation not just about GS1 HK's contribution to the local economy, but also inspire them even as tiny as a barcode can make a big difference and create infinite possibilities."

The participants were amazed and actively engaged in the entertainments and games, starting with a spectacular LED flag show, followed by a series of remarkable singing performances by executives from different sectors, including logistics, food & foodservice, commerce and financial services, etc. Rounding up were the Best Dress Awards, lucky draw sessions, and the finale performance by Cantonpop superstar Elisa Chan, who led the GS1 HK directors of the board singing together, the dinner ended on a high note.
