are all very supportive to this initiative and even ask for more vegetarian days in a week. “The vegetarian meals are even more expensive than meat meals. We insisted to do so because we see the long-term health benefit for our staff members, but not because of short-term gains.” On the other hand, Founder of Come Know (Asia) Ltd., Sam Sio shared on how he integrated social responsibility into his daily business. While the company’s main business is creative and media planning, Come Know launched a new media platform “SME LAB” in 2018 to tailor native market information for SMEs.
