About Industry Cares Recognition Scheme 2022
The FHKI established the CSR Committee in 2011 to advocate for CSR and encourage their members to pursue CSR. The committee first organised the Industry Cares Recognition Scheme in 2013 to recognise companies that bring good benefits to society and support more companies to realise CSR.
This year, the theme is ‘Walk through the pandemic with mutual inclusion and encouragement’ which attracted the participation of 112 companies under the Enterprise and SME Groups. As an accredited event in celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Establishment of the HKSAR, the Under Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Mr Ho Kai-ming, JP attended the event as the guest of honour.
There are two categories in the Industry Cares Scheme to recognise companies with outstanding CSR performance: the Enterprise and SME Groups. Six awards are granted for each category, including:
- The Grand Award
- Outstanding Caring Awards
- The Most Devoted Award
- The Most Innovative Award
- The Best CSV Award
- The Best Social Impact Award
