【Hong Kong, 28 September 2021】Organized by the Federation of Hong Kong Industries (FHKI), the grand award ceremony of the Industry Cares Recognition Scheme 2021, officiated by Dr. Law Chi Kwong, GBS, JP, the Secretary for Labour and Welfare, took place at Hilton Garden Inn Hong Kong Mongkok tonight.  Awarded the "Caring Certificate" for two consecutive years, STC (Hong Kong Standards and Testing Centre) is granted the "3+ Year Caring Certificate" this year for its three-year contribution to the society.  Dr. Franki Lee, STC’s Director of Business Development & Compliance, was invited to accept the award.

The Industry Cares Recognition Scheme aims to recognize companies that bring good benefits to the society and support more companies to exercise corporate social responsibility.  The “3+ Year Caring Certificate” under the category Enterprise Group for STC is to recognize its achievements in corporate social responsibility last year, which include, but not limited to, giveaway of over 1,000 alcohol sanitizers to people in need, participation of the 2020 Community Chest Dress Casual Day and the Skip Lunch Day 2021.  The presentation of the award is a testimony of STC’s continued fulfilment of corporate social responsibility, which is a long-term pledge by STC to contribute and repay the society.

Besides joining community activities, STC provides diverse services to promote sustainable development of different industries and the society, along with raising environmental awareness.  For instance, the subsidiary of STC, Hong Kong Certification Centre (HKCC), has launched Biodegradable Products Certification Scheme (the Scheme) and Hong Kong Eco Mark (Eco Mark) to facilitate consumers’ easy identification of qualified “green” products.  The Scheme ensures products in the test are biodegradable with testing that includes food packing materials, cups, bowls, stationery, cosmetics, hair care products and more.  Through the certification, consumers are encouraged to use a variety of biodegradable products which can then alleviate the saturation problem of the landfills.  Eco Mark evaluates the process from product design, use of substances and materials through to manufacturing process to confirm that the production conforms with environmentally conscious practices.  The scope of the evaluation covers most of the furniture and other consumer goods, consumers are then guaranteed truly "green" products.
