Joint Signing Ceremony with SME Employers and Report Launch (18 March 2025)

The Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) held a joint signing ceremony on 18 March 2025 to welcome 14 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from the SME Sustainability Society as new signatories of the Racial Diversity & Inclusion Charter for Employers (“Charter”). By signing the Charter, they pledge to promote racial diversity and inclusion (D&I) in their respective workplaces, joining over 500 other signatories in making the commitment publicly.

   

The 14 new signatories are all members of the SME Sustainability Society. During the ceremony, three new signatories, namely Crown Gas Stoves (Holdings) Co. Ltd., Meiriki Japan. Co. Ltd. and Richform Holdings Ltd., shared their experiences in promoting racial equality through community engagement and hiring practices.

Meanwhile, the EOC released the findings from the second round of Advanced Annual Reviews submitted by Charter signatories at the ceremony. The review invites signatories to fill in an ‘Advanced Annual Review Form’ to provide details of the policies and practices they have adopted to promote racial diversity and inclusion. The first round of report was released in 2023 with 29 responses. The responses from this round of review, which included 42 responses, have been summarised into a report.
