DFI Retail Group is proud to share that our Low-Carbon Rice Programme has received the Individual SDG Award – Goal 13: Climate Action at the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) Achievement Awards 2025, organised by The Green Council in Hong Kong.

This recognition highlights our commitment to reducing emissions while ensuring affordability for our customers through our flagship low-carbon rice initiative. It affirms our alignment with UNSDG Goal 13: Climate Action, which calls for urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.

The Green Council, a respected non-profit organisation, is known for its rigorous sustainability standards and inclusive judging process. Award recipients were selected by a panel of esteemed sustainability experts from academia, industry, and civil society, based on four key criteria: Stakeholder Engagement, Strategic Integration, Impact, and Replicability.

DFI’s Low-Carbon Rice Programme was recognised for its inclusive partnerships with farmers, suppliers, and academic experts; its strong alignment with our sustainability strategy; its measurable climate impact; and its potential to scale across markets.

This initiative reflects our broader ambition to transform retail through everyday sustainable choices —empowering customers to support climate action through the products they buy and the values they share. 
We are grateful to our teams and partners who made this achievement possible. Together, we will continue to drive meaningful change—for our communities, our planet, and future generations.
