Focussed on sustainable, far-reaching social impact
Knowledge Volunteers
Our Knowledge Volunteer team shares business advice with HK Recycles.
Among the first of its kind in Hong Kong, our Knowledge Volunteer team of middle to senior managers helps social enterprises achieve sustainability by offering sound business advice.
To date, 12 social enterprises have benefitted from our efforts. They include: MY Concept Event Management, Leave Love, 3H Handicraft, NEIGHBOR Plus Workshop, Fair Trade Hong Kong Foundation, Tithe Ethical Consumption, Teresa New Life Coffee Shop, rwb330, eshop330, Essence Hub, Hong Kong Youth Talent Institute, and HK Recycles.
Beginning 2016, our voluntary coaching initiatives are extended to non-profit social welfare organisation, widening the impact of our knowledge sharing.
Innovative Social Partnerships
With a target of meeting a double bottom line, social enterprises are helping address social problems, and often create employment and development opportunities for the underprivileged.
To this end, HKBN works with social enterprises on various levels both within the scope of our business and beyond.
iEnterprise
Through this award-winning partnership with iEnterprise, we help employ physically disabled individuals who pursue productive livelihoods by augmenting our 1083 telephone number enquiry service.
