Hong
Kong
Corporate Social
Responsibility Charter
Our
organisations in
Hong Kong
have voluntarily chosen to recognise the importance of
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by agreeing to the
values outlined in this Hong Kong CSR Charter.
Representing different sectors with a wide range of
activities, we accept that our organisations are at different stages in
their CSR journey. However, our organisations share a
commitment to the core principles of CSR and a vision for
the way forward.
We
agree to:
1.
Provide leadership
Ultimate responsibility for CSR rests with
leadership in our organisations. We assign clear
responsibilities, resources and leadership roles for
addressing CSR and we promote CSR within our spheres of
influence.
2.
Integrate CSR into our organisational strategy and
operations
CSR is about the principles by which we conduct
our business. Due to the varying nature and needs of our
businesses, we implement policies and programmes relevant to
our workplace, marketplace, community and environment with
respect to local considerations and in line with our global
values.
We aspire to:
3. Engage with our
stakeholders
Our stakeholders play a fundamental role in our
success. We strive to engage with our stakeholders in the
workplace, marketplace, supply chain, community and in
matters relating to public policy.
4. Communicate CSR
Transparency and accountability in respect to CSR
are fundamental to our internal and external stakeholders. We
strive to communicate to our stakeholders in a manner both
relevant and appropriate to our business.
We commend this Hong Kong CSR Charter to all business and
other organisational leaders and actively encourage other
enterprises to adopt these values.
