    Advocacy at HKEX

    “We teach our children to be compassionate to the world, nature, animals and people around us – and that kind of value will hopefully transfer to sustainability.” Ms. Karen Cheung, Trustee and Chief Strategist of The D. H. Chen Foundation, shared our value-driven approach for philanthropy in the “HKEX Impact Summit” organized by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) last week.

    In the panel discussion of “The Value of Corporate Citizenship – Funders’ Perspectives on Philanthropy, ESG and Stakeholder Capitalism”, Ms. Cheung shared the same insights of “aligned value” among stakeholders being more important in driving purposeful collaboration model, together with other panelists from corporate, community and philanthropy sectors. Believing the line between corporations and NGOs is blurring, she also emphasized self-cultivation is always the starting point of family and societal harmony 修身齊家治國平天下.

    Project Fuel, our self-initiated program, was highlighted by Ms. Cheung as a philanthropic framework which supports core operation of social good community together with offering capacity building opportunities on individual and organizational level.

    Special thanks to Ms. Victoria Jackson from HKEX for moderating the panel discussion, and Ms. Jean K. Sung from J.P. Morgan Private Bank and Dr. Stephen Yuen Shan Wong from The Community Chest of Hong Kong for exchanging insights of the development of philanthropy trend. We look forward to strengthening the social cohesion and creating the synergy needed to build a compassionate and sustainable community.
