The mission of the Caring Company initiative is to build a cohesive society by promoting strategic partnership among business and social business partners and inspire corporate social responsibility through caring for the community, employees and the environment.
The "Caring Company Scheme" was started in 2002, a time when the Hong Kong community was facing challenges most notably the Asian financial crisis and SARS. They started with a simple aim to foster collaboration.
