Why
Community Business?
-
Hong
Kong is our home
Our
tools, skills and knowledge are developed for and relevant
to companies operating in Hong Kong in line with international
standards of best practice. The tools we use for Corporate
Community Investment and Diversity have either been developed
abroad and modified to reflect the cultural context of Hong
Kong or developed especially for companies operating in Hong
Kong.
-
The
best of all worlds
Our people
have worked in the private and non-profit sectors and have
developed their experience in Hong Kong and abroad. We approach
our corporate members as customers and serve them with the
highest degree of integrity and professionalism.

In
Good Faith
Community
Business is a charity not a private company. We are not driven
by profit maximisation. Rather, our aim is to broaden the
ways businesses think and act.

Our Values
- Equality
A
diverse workforce is a creative one. We work with individuals
based on their skills, experience and commitment irrespective
of gender, family status, disability, race, sexual orientation,
religion or age.
In line with this, we endeavour to the greatest extent possible,
to provide flexible working conditions for those who work with
us and to respect the balance of work and "life" for
our people.
-
Integrity
At all times our people act in the best interests of our Corporate
Citizens.
- Continuous learning
We
continue to update our learning in the areas of Corporate Community
Investment and Diversity and will provide opportunities for
our Citizens to do the same.
- Collaboration
Our
mission is an ambitious one and we know that we cannot achieve
this on
our own. We embrace collaboration with individuals,
non-profit organisations, companies and government departments
and work with them in good faith.
