    It has become more popular to talk about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) among businesses with all sizes. In particular, SMEs have been making use of their advantage in flexibility to partner with social service organisations to fulfil CSR.<\/p>\n

    However, many SMEs still find it difficult to take on the road to CSR and to find suitable social service partners because of their resources constraint. In view of this, The Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS) and HSBC co-organised two luncheons, namely u0022SMEs luncheon: Know More About Corporate Social Responsibilityu0022 on 14 March 2007 (Wednesday) and 29 March 2007 (Thursday) for SMEs in order to give them insights and real-life cases to inspire their participation.<\/p>\n

    Over 50 SMEs from different industries, such as Food and Beverage, Marketing Promotions, Elderly Service, Accountancy, Environmental Protection, Management, etc, participated in the event. They shared and discussed how they could make use of their competitive edges to serve the community, but still remained cost-effective.<\/p>\n

    Ms Christine Fang, Chief Executive of HKCSS, Mr Cliff Choi, Business Director (Sector Development and Partnership) of HKCSS, and Mrs Virginia Lo, Vice President External Affairs, Group Public Affairs of HSBC, welcomed all participants and thanked them for their enthusiasm in serving the community. Participants were also encouraged to do more for the betterment of society.<\/p>\n

    Representatives from City Cut Hair u0026amp; Beauty Salon and Salon-Go-Ahead were also there to share their experience in partnering with social service organisations. Both companies were the award winners of the u0022SME Community Participation Awardu0022 of the Caring Company Scheme and the u0022Emerald Awardu0022 of the HSBC Living Business Award.<\/p>\n
