“Social Capital Corporate Volunteer Challenge” Successfully Concluded

The “Social Capital Corporate Volunteer Challenge” award presentation ceremony was successfully held on Thursday, 23 April 2015 at Chiang Chen Studio Theatre, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University.

The Community Investment and Inclusion Fund (CIIF) launched the “Social Capital Corporate Volunteer Challenge” early this year to further promote corporate participation in building social capital. Staff members from enterprises were encouraged to propose corporate volunteer services that utilise their creativity and expertise of enterprises to develop social capital in the community, bringing long-term benefits to the enterprises and society as a whole. A total of 50 entries from 38 enterprises were received.

The Chairman of CIIF Committee, Dr Lam Ching-choi, was glad to see that in recent years, more and more enterprises attached importance to corporate social responsibility, encouraged employees to contribute to the community with their expertise or joined hands with social welfare organisations to help people in need.

The Convenor of CIIF Brand-building Exercise Steering Group Dr Ricky Szeto is impressed by the high quality of the entries as most of the entries are able to foster cross-sectoral collaboration and enhance community networking.
