Launched by the EOC last August, the Racial Diversity & Inclusion Charter for Employers (the Charter) has drawn in 45 signatories to date, and the count is growing. Based on the Race Discrimination Ordinance (RDO) and the Code of Practice on Employment under the RDO, the Charter offers best practice suggestions for businesses looking to build a racially diverse and inclusive workplace.

The latest signatories, including locally based conglomerates, global companies, utilities, publishers, professional bodies, chambers of commerce, SMEs, as well as social enterprises, will be acknowledged at a ceremony on 29 March 2019, from 3pm to 4:30pm at Level 20, HSBC Main Building, 1 Queen’s Road Central. Graced with the presence of our Guest of Honour, Mr Andy CHAN, Under Secretary for Constitutional & Mainland Affairs, the event also features a keynote speech by Dr Allan ZEMAN, Chairman of Lan Kwai Fong Group, panel discussions led by ethnic minority (EM) youth and senior executives on the benefits of diversity and inclusion for business, and closing remarks by Ms Helen WONG, Group General Manager and CEO for Greater China, HSBC.

The event is by-invitation only. Video highlights will be uploaded onto the EOC website after the event. For enquiries, please contact Ms Katy HUI at 2511 8211 or katyhui@eoc.org.hk.
