Corporate Social Responsibility

Hongkong Post held its first-ever fundraising auction of stamp products.

Fundraising for victims of the Sichuan earthquake

On May 24, 2008, Hongkong Post held its first-ever fundraising auction of stamp products and banknotes for Sichuan Earthquake Relief, with the support of Sotheby's Hong Kong. The auction, held at the General Post Office, generated a total bid value of HK$1 million, which was supplemented with donations of over HK$160,000 from Hongkong Post staff and HK$200,000 from Sotheby's Hong Kong. The grand total of HK$1.36 million was handed over to the Home Affairs Department to help fund emergency relief operations in connection with the Sichuan earthquake.

Counter network to collect donations

We worked with the Home Affairs Department to broaden the channels available for the public to donate to victims of the Sichuan earthquake, by placing donation boxes at all of our post offices (except the mobile post offices).

Job training programme for young people with disabilities

Hongkong Post has continued to take part in the Social Welfare Department's Sunnyway Programme, which offers job training attachments to young people with disabilities. The scheme gives disabled young people the chance to gain work experience, employment skills and good work habits in real-life work environments. In 2008/09 we offered job training attachments to three youngsters, all of whom successfully completed their programme in Hongkong Post.

PostCare Club

In 2008/09, the PostCare Club took part in a number of social service activities that helped people from all walks of life. Members of the Club and their families did voluntary work to make our society a better place to live, which included cleaning and redecorating homes of the elderly, visiting people living alone, and organising gatherings for the aged. Recipients warmly recognised the enthusiasm and commitment of PostCare Club members. The PostCare Club is committed to Hongkong Post's culture of "Love and Care", and will continue to team up with charitable organisations to offer voluntary services and show care to those in need in the coming year.
