RGE 2020 Highlights

2020 was a challenging year for everyone as lives and businesses were disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic. 

RGE business groups began the year by showing its steadfast support to its nearby communities. We worked with partners to support our communities. We collectively responded to the crisis by procuring and providing much needed medical supplies, as well as numerous other forms of support and relief for families particularly hard hit by the pandemic.

But 2020 was also a year in which RGE reaffirmed our commitment to sustainability. April, Sateri and Asia Symbol respectively launched their 2030 sustainability commitments, comprising measurable targets and goals in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

RGE’s business groups worked diligently to further evolve our operations by launching new product lines, expanding production capacity, innovative uses of technology, among others. Take a look at our 2020 highlights video featuring:
