The 20-km walk showcased Nippon Paint’s commitment to fulfilling CSR.

"We hope the charity walking can help our staffers feel the positive energy of charity and pass on warmth and love. Charity walking is a public activity and we hope that Nippon Paint will participate in more charity walking events in the future," said Ariel Wu, Nippon Paint China's PR, CSR and Brand Communication Director.

The "Walking Proud" charity event is organized by the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation (CFPA), the Guangdong Harmony Foundation, and the Guangzhou Extreme & Mountaineering Sports Association, with the aim of promoting the principle of walking for charity. It was Nippon Paint China’s first time to join the event.
