r é n is both a verb and a noun — it means 'humanity' and 'to be kind'. That's a combination at the heart of what we do. That, and food.

Supporting disadvantaged young people in Hong Kong, we provide work opportunities in exclusive kitchens and beyond. Buying our products helps us continue this work. Think of it as items that embellish your table from napkins and candles to food that can truly nourish — because its impact goes way beyond the mouths that eat it.

Started in 2023, our social enterprise began as an idea from our founder Jo Soo-Tang. Through our introductions, young people work in the city's most exclusive kitchens, giving them invaluable life experience. This goes beyond kitchens too - r é n has helped young people gain work across different industries, and transformed and empowered lives in the process.

Buying our products helps us continue this work - with the revenue from the sales channelled back into our community. Since food and cooking is one of our passions, r é n make high quality products delivered in drops across partner stores and pop-ups throughout the year.

With the aim of supporting and nurturing disadvantaged young people in Hong Kong, our founder Jo Soo-Tang drew on contacts in the hospitality industry for a series of fundraising initiatives. But rather than just donate, the r é n community is active.

Our beneficiaries are individuals and communities facing various challenges that hinder their potential. They come from diverse backgrounds, each with unique stories and needs.
