2018 has been a busy year for Quadpack Foundation.

Changing Young Lives Foundation is dedicated to rewriting the life stories of underprivileged children and young people in Hong Kong and the mainland.

Primos Dallas is a non-profit organisation that connects Latino youth with professionals. Through its mentoring programme, it aims to guide and motivate young people to become college-, career- and life-ready by providing them with the tools to develop self-efficacy, a growth mindset and a commitment to service.

Quadpack Foundation sponsored the young adult programme of the Casal dels Infants.

Charity photocall for Vall d’Hebron hospital, Barcelona, Spain

Sponsorship also continued to the annual charity photocall – held this year at the Pedralbes shopping centre in Barcelona – in support of the Children's Oncology Department of Barcelona’s Vall d'Hebrón Hospital. The original donation amount was doubled, thanks to the participation of Quadpack's clients in a customer survey. Quadpack Industries promised a donation to the Foundation for each submission, as an incentive.

        Imagine a fragrance accessory that is both an aromatherapy device and a bold fashion statement. Too futuristic and conceptual? Perhaps – but this product exists, has a name and a creator: ‘NI’ was developed in 2018 by designer Amaia Aranzabal as a final-year project at the prestigious Elisava design and engineering school in Barcelona, Spain. The challenge for that year’s graduating class had been set by Quadpack, partnering with Elisava for the first time.
