The Observatory was awarded a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Advocate Mark on 5 November. The award was presented by the Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency (HKQAA) to commend the Observatorys maturity in practicing social responsibilities.
Based on the ISO/DIS 26000 Guidance for Social Responsibility, the HKQAA launched the CSR Index last year to provide a quantitative metric to measure an organizations maturity in practicing its social responsibilities on a scale of 1 to 5. In this first year, a total of 25 renowned organizations from the public and private sectors participated in the assessment. The Hong Kong Observatory was given a score of 4.8, which is higher than the average score (4.53) of all participating organizations. |
