Eighteen awards, across markets and formats—it’s a strong result at this year’s Retail Asia Awards. It reflects how far we’ve come: a more focused portfolio, clearer priorities, and stronger execution where it matters most. Across stores, brands and digital platforms, our teams are bringing that strategy to life—delivering better experiences and for customers. Congratulations to all involved from Health and Beauty, Convenience, Food, Home Furnishings, Own Brand and Digital Innovation teams! This is a meaningful milestone—but more than that, it’s a sign of the progress we’re making. We’re building a more customer-focused, digitally enabled DFI—and it’s encouraging to see that momentum reflected in outcomes like this. #DFIRetailGroup hashtag#CustomerFirst hashtag#Digital hashtag#Innovation hashtag#RetailExcellence
At DFI, Doing the Right Thing is our everyday commitment — it’s how we earn trust, protect our people, and serve our customers better every day. Throughout May, we reinforced our culture of ethics, compliance, and safety across our markets through leadership town halls, refreshed ethics and compliance policies, safety training, and store engagements. More than 26,000 team members took part, with frontline team members sharing powerful insights on how safety comes to life in their daily work. Their voices remind us that safety is a shared responsibility — protecting ourselves and our customers together. We are especially proud to celebrate external recognition of this culture: 🏆Three team members were recognised at the Hong Kong Outstanding Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) Employee Awards, including Michael Choy, who received his second Gold Award! 🏆Our Mannings store at the Hong Kong Airport was also honoured under the Airport Safety Recognition Scheme for Accident Prevention. Thank you to all our team members for their commitment and participation. A strong culture is built together — every day, in every action.

"If you're not looking for new ways to serve your customers and transform your business model, you're going to get left behind." It's a mindset our Group Chief Executive, Scott Price, returns to often — and one he unpacks in a recent conversation with CNBC's Managing Asia on navigating one of the most demanding periods the retail industry has seen. From sharpening our portfolio and focusing on where we have a clear right to win, to building momentum behind our wellness pivot in Health & Beauty, Scott talks through the choices shaping DFI today — as we scale data and AI, advance our Greater Bay Area digital ambitions, and progress our sustainability agenda. ▶️ Watch the full interview here: https://cnb.cx/4wvJ5ZE

This year, 7-Eleven Hong Kong turns 45. It started with a single store on a street corner in Happy Valley on 3 April 1981. Forty-five years later, there are close to 1,100 of them – open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in every district of the city. To mark the occasion, 7-Eleven Hong Kong is launching a year of celebrations under the theme "Always Here Made for More" (梗繫我地). After 45 years, 7-Eleven means something more than convenience to most Hong Kong people. Personal memories, a city's history, the everyday moments that shape daily life – that connection, with the city, its customers and the community, is what this campaign is about. At the centre of the campaign is a special anniversary film that brings together movie quotes, TV ad catchphrases and Cantonese slang that generations of Hong Kongers know by heart. Each line is a shared memory, and together they capture just how closely 7-Eleven has been part of life in Hong Kong. The first wave of celebrations also includes the recreation of 7-Eleven's original 1981 Happy Valley store, faithfully restored to its classic "little red house" design, right down to the red roof, dark brick walls and original promotional slogans, together with a range of retro price offers and products. This is just the beginning – more fun and excitement to come throughout the year.
