| As a member of the Hong Kong community, the SFC takes its social responsibility seriously.
At the SFC, we take into account the context of our operating
environment and how that impacts our staff, our external stakeholders
and society as a whole. To us, corporate social responsibility
(CSR) is a measure of value and a core intangible asset; it
is also the cornerstone to goodwill.
In today’s increasingly open society, we believe that
we are judged not just by our regulatory performance but also
by whether our social conduct is consistent with our position
as a statutory body. CSR is about our organisation’s
obligations beyond the legal or statutory minimums. It is
about recognising stakeholder expectations and acting in a
socially responsible manner. But to a large extent, CSR reflects
our culture.
Besides practising personnel integrity, ethical standards
and a caring culture internally, we try to give back something
to the society from which we draw resources. In so doing,
we ensure that growth is sustainable. We aim to achieve a
win-win situation as follows, using an appropriate and pragmatic
CSR policy:
- improve our appeal as an employer in the eyes of prospective
employees;
- improve our reputation among external stakeholders and
the general public; and
- assist in controlling the costs of certain resources we
use in the course of our operations.
In practising CSR, we also set an example of good corporate
citizenship for the many companies that we interact with.
Overall Policy
As a statutory body, our very existence is to serve society.
But we are prepared to take our accountability further both
internally and externally by creating value for our staff,
building meaningful relationships with various stakeholders,
fostering sound management, promoting sustainable growth within
our working environment, and benefiting the community as a
whole.
