Media OutReach�-�31 October 2018 - Leo Paper Group (Hong Kong)
Limited (the "Group"), a leading global printing communications company based
in Hong Kong, has won the "Outstanding Import & Export Enterprise Awards
2018 -- Corporate Achievement Award" presented by The Hong Kong Chinese
Importers' & Exporters' Association ("HKCIEA"), recognising its excellent
performance in company performance, reputation, corporate social responsibility
and corporate governance. The award also shows that the Group is
well-acknowledged by the industry and society for its products and market
prominence, as well as contribution to helping the industry develop and
creating employment opportunities.



Mr. Paul Chan Mo-po, GBM, GBS, MH, JP,
Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government
presented the "Outstanding Import & Export Enterprise Awards 2018 --
Corporate Achievement Award" to Mr. King Lai, CFO and Group Director of Leo
Paper Group.


Founded in 1982, Leo
Paper Group was then a traditional printing company with a staff of eight.
Today, it is a large enterprise with a more than 13,000-strong workforce and a
rich product portfolio comprising books, games, paper bags, gift items and
packaging. It provides clients with one-stop solutions covering product
development, automated manufacturing, logistics, testing and metrology, as well
as digital services. It serves clients from across the world, including Europe
and the U.S., and has earned many local and overseas printing related accolades
over the years. The latest "Outstanding Import & Export Enterprise Awards
2018 -- Corporate Achievement Award" is another deserving win.

Mr. Samuel Leung,
Chairman of the Group, said, "This is the second time the Group received awards
from HKCIEA. In 2015, it won the
'Outstanding Import & Export Enterprise Awards
2015 -- Entrepreneurship Award' and this latest win testifies to the Group's
relentless efforts in promoting sustainable development of the industry and
contributing to the society over the years. Since its inception, the Group has
kept striving for excellence in business development, corporate governance,
environmental management and innovation, so as to become a leading global
printing communications company capable of providing clients the best one-stop
solutions. This spirit is deeply rooted in the heart of members of the Leo team.
The award acknowledges our hard work and achievements over the years and marks an
important milestone in the development of the Group."

"The Group will
continue to boost its competitiveness and service standard, thereby defending
its industry leadership, and to uphold the core value of striving for
sustainable development. It will also actively participate in charitable
activities to maintain its bond with the community, to the ultimate end of
creating 'win-for-all' together with clients and the society."

The more than
850,000 sq. m. production base of the Group in Heshan Astros homes the largest
single printing plant in China. For four consecutive years since 2014, the
Group has placed sixth among the top 100 printing companies in the country. It is
also China's first printing enterprise to gain waterless printing
accreditation. Supported by its own Novel Technology Development Department and
product engineering team, it pursues innovation and breakthroughs on the
product, equipment, raw material and secondary processing fronts, and as such
the quality of its products enjoys wide industry and client recognition. For
example, in 2007, it bagged the James H. Mayes Memorial Best of Show at the 2017
Premier Print Awards in the U.S., and the Grand Award at the 29th
Hong Kong Print Awards.

Furthermore, the
Group implements stringent corporate governance policies. Since 2003, as a
private company, it has voluntarily followed the requirement of the Stock
Exchange of Hong Kong for listed companies to issue annual reports and, since
2009, it has appointed independent auditors and held annual shareholder
meetings to report the auditors' findings regarding its consolidated account
and also review internal monitory practices, aiming to improve corporate
governance.

As for environmental
management, the Group has invested over HKD200 million in the past 5 years in
green projects. In August 2018, the Group became the first private company in
Hong Kong to earn the HKQAA Green Finance Certificate. It also signed a HKD350
Million Four-Year Green Loan Term and Revolving Credit Facility with a group of
seven leading banks, obtaining funding for its 20-plus green technology
projects to roll out in China in the next few years.
