The School of Business (SBUS) of The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK) hosted the 12th Junzi Corporation Award Ceremony today (15 June) to recognise outstanding companies which have demonstrated exceptional high standards in conducting operations in accordance with the Junzi virtues. The ‘HSUHK Hong Kong Business Ethics Index’ was announced and a dialogue with business leaders was on the same occasion.

At the event, Dr Thomas Man, Associate Dean (Enterprise and Business Engagement), announced the HSUHK Business Ethics Index that reflects the Hong Kong business community’s overall ethical standards. The results showed that the HSUHK Hong Kong Business Ethics Index for 2023 is at 62.4 (out of 100), which represents a 0.8% increase from 61.9 in 2022, and a 4% increase from 60.0 in 2021. The results reflect an increase in the appraisal of companies’ performance with Junzi values and an improvement in business ethics, as observed by Hong Kong citizens.

This year, there are a total of 14 companies which receive the Junzi Corporation Awards in three categories, including the Junzi Corporation Award for Exemplary Business Practices, the Junzi Corporation Awards and the Junzi Corporation Awards (Small and Medium Enterprises).

On the same occasion, a dialogue with business leaders on topic ‘Moving Forward from the Pandemic: Reflections and Strategies for the Future’ was held, with Ms Kathryn Ho, Deputy CEO of International Housewares Retail Co. Limited, and Mr Maurice Kong, Chairman of the Institute of Dining Professionals, as speakers, and Dr Liane Lee, Assistant Professor of Department of Management, as facilitator. The speakers shared that as the world begins to recover from the pandemic, businesses and organisations are looking for ways to improve efficiency and streamline their operations. They agreed that the pandemic highlighted the need for even greater reliance on technology to maintain the productivity and profitability.
