    Environmental protection is an important component of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). u0022Caring for the Environmentu0022 has been newly added into one of the Caring Company criteria this year to encourage participation in environmental work for the community by the business sector. A luncheon was organised on 25 July 2007 at the Medical Association Restaurant and representatives from two social enterprises linking to environmental care were invited to introduce their green businesses. This was a good opportunity for the business sector and the social enterprises operated by NGOs to explore possibilities for developing u0022green partnershipu0022.<\/p>\n

    The two speakers for the luncheon included Ms Deborah WAN, Chief Executive Officer, New Life Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association and Mr Frederick LAI, Service Head, Youth and Community Service u0026amp; Community Development Service, Caritas Hong Kong. Ms Wan introduced their New Life Organic Farm and Eco-tour project which have adopted the social enterprise model. Mr Lai introduced the u0022City Farmersu0022, a new co-operative project for the unemployed in Tin Shui Wai district. There were 35 participants from business sector and social service organisations attending the luncheon and shared their ideas of further collaborations.<\/p>\n

    Social Enterprises operate with business models that help enhance the self-reliance of the disadvantaged. The partnerships between the business and social service sectors not only foster environmental care, but raise the competitiveness of the vulnerable groups.<\/p>\n
