The Social Capital Builder (SCB) Award is presented by the Community Investment and Inclusion Fund (CIIF) in order to recognise and commend corporates/ organisations for their contribution to the development of social capital in Hong Kong, and let the customers and clients of the corporates/ organizations as well as the general public be aware of their contributions. This is to establish the elite and leading position of the corporates/ organizations so that more individuals/ organisations will be inspired to take part in the development of social capital.


The CIIF treats the SCB awardees as working partners. We encourage the awardees to show the logo of SCB Award (Logo) appropriately, so as to promote the public commitment to social capital development.


Please follow the logo usage guidelines on showing the Logo and contact the CIIF Secretariat for enquiry. (Email: ciif@hyab.gov.hk or tel: 2503 2017) Thank you.
