There is a kind of frugality called “clean your plate,” a kind of public good called “clean your plate,” and a habit called “clean your plate”! On December 5, 2013, the Group’s Trade Union and the Group Office jointly launched an initiative titled “Practice Thrift, Oppose Waste, and Promote the ‘Clean Your Plate’ Campaign.”
In the lead-up to the event, we hung promotional banners and posted campaign slogans in the cafeteria, urging employees to embrace the ethos that thrift is honorable and waste is shameful. We encouraged everyone to serve themselves only what they need—whether it’s dishes or rice—and to finish every last grain of rice and every last leaf of vegetable on their plates, aiming to eat until each meal is completely finished and adequately satisfied. We also called on employees to take personal responsibility: to be both active participants in the “Clean Plate” initiative and its advocates, helping more people learn about and join this effort.
With the active participation and cooperation of all company employees, this initiative was a great success, and its positive impact is self‑evident. According to cafeteria management, since the program’s launch, the dining environment has improved significantly, employee dining order has markedly enhanced, and individuals are serving themselves smaller portions more frequently—resulting in less food waste and fewer complaints from waste‑collection staff. Overall, conditions have been favorable, and the intended outcomes have been achieved.
Let’s start with ourselves and with the smallest of actions: conserve every precious grain of food, cultivate good habits, and show respect—for ourselves and for the hardworking laborers who produce it. Let’s all join the “Clean Plate” movement and say no to food waste!
