PROTECTING OUR PLANET AND COMMUNITIES

Employing processes and delivering products to have positive social and environmental impacts
Meaningful Partnerships
Forming trusted and purposeful partnerships that share sustainability commitments and promote systemic change
BUILDING OUR SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY
Materiality Analysis with GlobeScan
Our path to sustainability began in 2020. Together with GlobeScan, the global insights and advisory consultancy, we interviewed key stakeholders across our entire ecosphere.
Our strategy was then formulated and further vetted to define our ambitious goals.
A second Materiality Assessment was conducted in 2023 to confirm the continued relevance of and to fine-tune our strategic direction.
AVIATION SUSTAINABILITY FORUM
Proudly supporting the aviation industry
FORMIA is one of the early members of the Aviation Sustainability Forum (ASF), whose mission is to collaborate for the development of sustainable inflight service solutions.
CONSCIOUS DESIGN & MATERIALS
Our designs integrate circular principles using the R-ladder of circularity and focus on a high take-home appeal and reducing waste as much as possible.
We curate materials that:
- Have less impact in the raw material extraction and production phase;
- Can be recycled or biodegraded;
- Have recycled content and use fewer virgin materials.

PATH TO NET-ZERO
Reducing our impact
We completed our first Greenhouse Gas Assessment (GHG) in October 2021, measuring emissions of our end-to-end operations and setting the baseline for ongoing improvements.
Our Life Cycle Impact Analyses measure the impact of an amenity kit from raw material extraction to end of life disposal.
In December 2020, we pledged to convert 100% of our socks and eye masks from virgin polyester to recycled PET fabric with Global Recycled Standard certification for all our airline customers.
This is just the start of our journey as we continue to reduce environmental impact collaboratively with our customers.
OUR PEOPLE
We aim to make a positive impact on the lives of our employees and to provide a safe, happy and comfortable work environment.
FORMIA is an equal opportunities employer, providing employees with a work environment free of discrimination and harassment.
COMMUNITIES
FORMIA supports communities that we operate from, both locally and internationally.
We partner with Changing Young Lives Foundation and Habitat For Humanity
FORMIA volunteers time and donates a range of products on an ongoing basis that supports programme development and delivery work for those underprivileged communities.
We engage in further community activities with environmental NGOs near and dear to our heart, such as Beyond Plastic and One Tree Planted.
Our hope is to make a tangible difference and build a long-lasting relationship with these organisations.
Supporting young people in their educational endeavors is also important to FORMIA. We proudly provide educational scholarships through the IFSA Foundation, and work with local Hong Kong universities on internships and student projects when the opportunity arises
