Caring Company Scheme 2011/12 Networking & Sharing Session

Promoting Corporate Social Responsibility and strengthening cross-sectoral partnership between corporate and charitable organisations has always been the missions embraced by the Caring Company Scheme. To create more interactive opportunities for people from different sectors, three sharing sessions were organised on 26 Sept, 13 Oct u0026amp; 3 Nov 2011. Speakers from different industries were invited to share their inspirations, with networking sessions for meeting friends to develop new partnership projects. The overall participation rate was overwhelming with over 580 participants.

It was delighted to have corporations with best practices in Corporate Social Responsibility to share their missions and strategies, as well as those who have been joining the scheme throughout the past 9 years with their social service partners to share tips of carrying out long-term partnership projects. Apart from this, awardees of the Outstanding Partnership Project Award also shared on key success factors and challenges faced throughout the cooperation.
