(14 Feb 2017, Hong Kong) For the promotion of the understanding and the adoption of corporate social responsibility as a business model for achieving business sustainability in the Hong Kong business sector, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University has jointly compiled the Hong Kong SME Business Sustainability Index with the Hong Kong Productivity Council. This index mainly reflects the trends and achievements of a group of most progressive HK SMEs in CSR practices, serving as a benchmark of business sustainability in this sector. In 2016, the index is compiled with information of the best 33 (which was 43 in 2014) of those SMEs with proven records of excellent performance in undertaking CSR initiatives. In order to capture the development and performance of business sustainability of SMEs in Hong Kong, the HKSME Business Sustainability Index will be compiled year by year and the updated index with the revised list of companies will be announced annually.
