CESL Asia proudly hosted the "CESL Asia and Friends Sport Fun Day 2024" at the Workers' Stadium of the Macau Federation of Trade Unions. In partnership with 23 diverse companies and organisations, CESL Asia raised MOP 130,000 to support Special Olympics Macau (MSO), helping athletes realise their dreams and reach new heights in their sports journeys.
This initiative reflects CESL Asia’s commitment to fostering a society where everyone is valued and empowered. It also underscores the potential for organisations to promote conscious leadership and demonstrate the positive impact businesses can have on society.
The theme for this year’s event, “Community Care and Harmonious Development of Our Society,” emphasised the power of inclusive sports in building a cohesive and supportive community. Featuring the “Corporate Inclusive Bocce Tournament” and the “Corporate Football Tournament,” the event celebrated values of inclusion, health, and sustainability. Teams from various sectors partnered with Special Olympics athletes, creating an atmosphere of mutual respect, camaraderie, and joy in sport.
The football tournament energised spectators as 'MGM' claimed the championship. In the Corporate Inclusive Bocce Tournament, 'CESL Asia (Team A)' and 'Banco Comercial de Macau, S.A.' won the Golden Cup and Silver Plate. Atom Education further promoted inclusivity with handball and floorball zones, where Special Olympics athletes and local children explored new sports enjoying the benefits of athletic participation.
Mr. Antonio Trindade, CESL Asia President and CEO, expressed his appreciation, stating: “Sport Fun Day has become an important initiative of impact and inclusion. Seeing the strong support and enthusiastic participation from our partners, MSO athletes and respective families, and the CESL Asia team is truly inspiring. Together, we are raising awareness and advancing a vision for a community where everyone feels included. Events like this showcase the positive impact that businesses can have on communities. Through these efforts, we grow together, helping create a more caring, connected society.”
The “CESL Asia and Friends Sport Fun Day” is part of the CESL Asia Social Investment Initiative (CSII), which, since 2000, has focused on leadership development, social integration, equality, and sustainable growth.
