Steering Committee

Background

The relationship between the business and the social service sectors has been under-developed in the past. Outside of limited corporate philanthropy, most businesses and charities have little contact. Until recently, the pressure of globalization has begun to shift the paradigm and the relationship between the two sectors has changed fundamentally. Hong Kong is increasingly looking to the business and the social service sectors to take up greater responsibility for maintaining a healthy community. Developing social capital and business assets together may be the most powerful potential of all.

Purpose and objectives of the project

The “Caring Company Scheme” is a movement promoting Corporate Social Responsibility through caring for the community, employees and the environment. It is specifically geared to encourage and promote strategic partnerships among business and social service partners. It promotes good practices for corporate citizenship and philanthropy that are realistic and credible for both corporations and the community.
