Continuing to instil a commitment to environmental protection amongst students in Hong Kong, GP Batteries' annual signature program "GP Live a Green Lifestyle" School Competition is now in its third year. The theme of this year's competition was "Green Town planning in the 18 districts of Hong Kong".

To establish a better understanding of environmental protection and urban planning, the competition program started with a student seminar at the Hong Kong Institute of Architects (HKIA). At the finale of the competition, 24 finalists from the junior and senior categories were selected to showcase their concepts and models of environmentally friendly town planning to the judging panel, which consisted of the Chairman and members of the HKIA Environmental and Sustainable Development Committee, the Environmental Protection Department, the Hong Kong Institute of Education and representatives from GP Batteries.

At the finale, Ms Josephine Ng, Assistant Marketing Director of GPI International Limited, said the understanding of environment protection amongst young people is important for the future well-being of the community. GP Batteries produces environmentally friendly rechargeable batteries for which students are one of the key target end-users making the school competition a great platform for GP to educate communities on green issues and build brand preference amongst target audiences.
