Corporate Social Capital Implementation Guidance Document

A New Way for Corporates to Optimising Sustainability Performance

Funded by the Community Investment and Inclusion Fund (CIIF) of the Labour and Welfare Bureau, Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency (HKQAA) commenced a three-year project on “Bridging and Bonding – To Create Measurable Social Benefits” in 2017 to encourage the business sector to develop social capital. As part of the project, the “Corporate Social Capital Implementation Guidance Document” (GD), a management tool that assists companies in Hong Kong to develop their Corporate Social Capital (CSC), was launched. Through the building up of CSC, companies can improve their CSR performance, ultimately contribute to the sustainable development.

The development of GD is based on international norms and standards, professional management models and core dimensions of social capital. It is closely linked to the HKQAA Sustainability Rating and Research (HKQAA SRR) methodology, which is used for the assessment of HKQAA CSR Index Plus and for compiling the Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Index Series.

The GD is a value-adding vehicle for recognising the sustainability achievements of a company. Please click here to know more or download it on the SOCIALCAPITAL.SHARE website.
