Golden Panda Award Gala sets
global benchmark for Chinese Food Delivery Industry
MELBOURNE, Australia, Dec. 8, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- On December 8,
2022, HungryPanda hosted its first ever Golden Panda Award Gala at The Grand Ballroom-
Sofitel Melbourne on Collins.
Although HungryPanda is headquartered in London, the leading overseas Asian food
delivery company selected the city of Melbourne to host its first Golden Panda Award Gala as it's known as the
food and culture capital of Australia, and more than 6.5% its population
is of Chinese descent.
The Gala brought together leaders from the City of Melbourne, Victorian Multicultural
Commission, National Foundation of Australia China Relations,
Deliverect, CLSA AU, ESG Future Foundation and Foodbank Australia
in a unified effort to expand the Chinese food market scale,
commercialization process and to set a global and ethical benchmark
for the Chinese food delivery industry.
Director Rick Wu, and Co-Head of
Investment Banking Jeremy D'sylva at CLSA AU, Asia's leading capital market and investment
group, both shared future insights from a financial and investment
industry perspective of the current food delivery market. While
Jeremy Van Dille, APAC General
Manager at Deliverect, the world's leading takeaway order
management platform delivered a keynote analysis of the current
state of the Australian takeaway market and shared projections
based off internal data and user behavior findings.
"The Golden Panda Gala is a snapshot of our cooperation with
HungryPanda," said Van Dille. "We
are thrilled to further our partnership in data analysis, business
activities and sustainability to raise the standards of the overall
takeaway industry."
Jason Dong, Chairman at the ESG
Future Foundation delivered a speech about how sustainability is an
integral part of developing corporate strategy.
"We are excited to partner with HungryPanda to further develop
sustainable practices in the food delivery industry and promote
this new rewarding concept for merchants and riders. The use of
renewable energy will be crucial to sustainable business
development. Not only will it mitigate the warming process, but it
will also accelerate the transformation of industries and reduce
air pollution."
Since 2017, HungryPanda has empowered the International Chinese
delivery industry through its global expansion, accumulation of
operational experience and user behavior data and most importantly,
its community involvement and giving.
With a shared objective for the good purpose of the Golden Panda
Gala, HungryPanda and Foodbank Australia, the largest food relief
organization providing food and groceries to charities and school
breakfast programs in every state and territory set up a
fundraising program to address the food waste and food insecurity
crisis happening in Australia.
"We are thrilled to receive support from HungryPanda at the
Golden Panda Awards," said Helen
Bell, National Partnership Manager, Foodbank Australia. "In
the last year, 2 million households across Australia went hungry at some point. Even more
alarmingly, 1.3 million children lived in severely food-insecure
households," added Bell. "The current environment of rising
interest rates and cost of living means that support from
organizations like HungryPanda is needed more than ever, we are
extremely grateful for their support."
As the largest overseas Asian food delivery platform,
HungryPanda is committed to improving the supporting the
development of overseas Asian communities. In the future,
HungryPanda expects to host more events that inspire innovation,
education and social change.
"It was an honor listening and learning from so many influential
local and industry leaders," said Kitty
Lu, Director of Public Affairs at HungryPanda. "We are
excited to integrate what we learned from the summit to accelerate
the digitalization process of local Chinese communities."
