ANNUAL REPORTS
Our annual reports in both English and Chinese are now available at our website www.chinatelecom-h.com.
2023 Annual Report Survey
Annual Report is a key communication channel between shareholders and the Company. Last year, we received around 100 questionnaires of “Your Views on Annual Report 2022”. Each of these responses benefited us in enhancing and further improving our annual reports. We are deeply indebted to the respondents for their constructive responses. In accordance with our commitment, we have to contribute HK$50 to a charitable organisation for each questionnaire received. In this regard, we have given a sum of HK$10,000 to the charitable organisation, WWF, in 2023. In addition, we have already implemented the suggestion of allowing shareholders to choose means of receipt and language of corporate communication to enhance environmental protection and cost savings.
We value and are eager to keep hearing your comments on our annual report for our further improvement in the future. It is highly appreciated if you could spare your precious time to complete the questionnaire of “Your Views on Annual Report 2023”, as attached in this annual report, and return it to us by post or email to ir@chinatelecom-h.com, or fax to +852 2877 0988. You can also fill in the electronic form at our website www.chinatelecom-h.com.
