“CESL Asia and Friends Sport Fun Day 2020” is part of CESL Asia Social Investment Initiative (CSII). This annual event was created to support Macau Special Olympics (“MSO”) athletes development programs and promote values of equality and inclusion within the community.

This year “CESL Asia and Friends Sport Fun Day” was co-hosted by Sporting Clube de Macau and brought together 17 companies and organizations. Teams from these companies and organizations were joined by MSO athletes on a day full of enthusiasm, inspiration and impact. After several rounds of intense races, Banco Nacional Ultramarino (BNU) was crowned champion of the “Football Tournament”, Tai Fung Bank and MGM won the “Bocce Golden Cup Competition” and the “Bocce Silver Plate Competition”, respectively.

To allow MSO athletes to try new sport activities, Sporting Clube de Macau set up a Sporting Trial Zone where those athletes were able to experience for the first time the thrill of a football training with professional players.

Mr. António Trindade, President and CEO of CESL Asia highlights the importance of this event to demonstrate the social impact of companies on society: “We believe that the experience of these athletes and other participants in this event will create valuable changes in our society and in our companies. Putting people with different abilities to play with team spirit is an excellent way to develop positive attitudes towards reality and demonstrate the advantages of challenging prejudices. At the same time, by inspiring everyone to practice sport, we want to contribute towards common goals to increase the health and well-being of everyone in our companies and in the community. That is why we decided to keep this event in our program, even in this year full of challenges, and we are very proud of the support we received from all our fantastic partners here”.

“CESL Asia and Friends Sport Fun Day 2020” attracted more than 150 participants and volunteers, as well as raised an amount of over MOP120,000 in donations to Macau Special Olympics (“MSO”).

Mr. Hetzer Siu Yu Hong, CEO of Macau Special Olympics shared: “We would like to thank CESL Asia for organizing with us and making this event a great success. Building an inclusive environment for people with disabilities, regardless of gender, age and ability, is very important to increase understanding, tolerance and respect for these people. Over the years, we have seen many companies, institutions and organizations participating in the “CESL Asia and Friends Sport Fun Day”, which allows more and more people to know the profound meaning and social value of this event. We hope to keep promoting together, in the future, a culture of inclusion and tolerance.”

CESL Asia always commits itself to providing innovative services and technological solutions to the community we serve while it envisages mapping out a sustainable and environmentally friendly blueprint for its Macau business with a proactive, farsighted mindset. Accordingly, and inspired on the “Belt and Road” Initiative, the Great Bay Area Plan and “Commercial and Trade Co-operation Platform between China and Portuguese Speaking Countries”, CESL Asia is expanding the business in Portugal under the foundation of its own “Growing Platform Strategy”.

The Macao International Environmental Co-operation Forum & Exhibition (MIECF 2019) will be held from 28th - 30th Mar in the Venetian Macao. This is the 12th consecutive year CESL Asia participates in supporting the mega event and exhibits its platform for Financing, Management and Operation of Business between China and PSC, highlighting its own “platform” solutions to businesses in the Great Bay Area, Macau and the Portuguese Speaking Countries. The booth of CESL Asia is located in O15 where the President and CEO, Mr. Antonio Trindade will moderate a panel of expert speakers under the topic of “New Opportunities in the Eco Bay Area - Creating Green Energy Cities” on 28 Mar in the afternoon during the exhibition and you are most welcome to visit us.

Over the past decades, CESL Asia established a team of innovative professionals with accumulated expertise in investing and operating businesses in Macau and Portugal, understanding local markets and their specific culture, which became the unique advantage of the group to further leverage Macau as a platform to facilitate the development and diversification of the group activities to the new markets in the Portuguese speaking countries. As early as 2012, CESL Asia started its expansion by investing in the production of renewable energies in Portugal and in local, qualified management and operations teams, from where the company expects to increasingly develop its presence in the Portuguese Speaking Countries, Europe and other emerging markets. More recently, CESL Asia signed a commitment to acquire a business in the agricultural sector in Alentejo, Portugal, an asset with 3,700 ha of agriculture land (Macau is about 3,000 ha) as well as other cooperation agreements to better explore multi-party investment opportunities in China, Macau and the PSC, consolidating CESL Asia as the leading company from Macau with “platform solutions” for businesses in the Great Bay Area.

All of this will be on show for the local and international visitors that CESL Asia hopes to welcome at the MIECF 2019 and discuss opportunities to further leverage the advantages of its platform while embracing the new opportunities arising from the Great Bay Area Plan.

CESL Asia - Investments and Services, Limited signed today in Macau a commitment to acquire Saltiproud Group, a business in the agricultural sector in Portugal, and a Strategic Cooperation Agreement with The Bank of China, Macau.

The signing ceremony for the first agreement gathered representatives from the sellers directly from Portugal and the banks involved in financing the deal. This is a significant acquisition, a valuable asset with 3,700 Ha of agricultural land (Macau is about 3,000 Ha in size), a key sector for us, for China and for the World.

This being already a relevant business in Europe, CESL Asia wants to support it in their path for excellence, in our Macau Platform for Financing, Management and Operation of Businesses for the Great bay Area and the Portuguese Speaking Countries.

Inspired on the Belt and Road Initiative, the Great Bay Area Plan and the Macau Platform for Cooperation between China and the Portuguese Speaking Countries, in the last 6 years CESL Asia has been developing its investments, management and operating capacities in Portugal.

To that effect, we are building a Macau Finance Platform to support our Project Growing Platform, expanding our cooperation with financing institutions from China, Portugal and Macau and we have also signed today a Strategic Cooperation Agreement with The Bank of China, Macau Brunch, the first local bank to do so.

BOC has shown an enthusiastic embracement of our relationship and Platform Strategy.

Over the last 30 years CESL Asia has established itself as a Macau company with a mainstream team of local leadership and high achieving, innovative professionals. Always using their knowledge with integrity, striving for excellence in every challenge.

This is our unique Macau Platform, always contributing for the social and economic development of Macau. Ready to embrace the opportunities arising from the Great Bay Area Plan, we are ready to grow ourselves and our team.

Our goal of 6 years has been to establish an integrated Macau-Portugal Platform, for Financing, Management and Operation of Businesses for the Great Bay Area and the Portuguese Speaking Countries, Emerging Markets and Europe.

Most importantly; we are expanding our team in Portugal with the great team of likeminded, high performance professionals, as well as with the cooperation of extremely relevant players, as it is the case of Bank of China, Macau Brunch.

CESL Asia has successfully held its “Sport Fun Day 2019” on 10 November at Macau Federation of Trade Unions Workers Stadium. The event has attracted more than 200 participants and volunteers and raised a total amount of over MOP150,000 in donations to Macau Special Olympics, as to support its Disabled Sports Program and its daily operation.

The team from Bank of China Macau Branch was crowned as Champion of Football Tournament while the team from The Macau Institution of Engineers was crowned as Champion of Bocce Tournament.

This is the 3rd year that CESL Asia organizes this meaningful event, which allows all participants to develop physical fitness and to experience fun moments, and more importantly, this event aims to deepen the understanding and care from the society to the intellectual disabilities.
