Chinese YMCA of Hong Kong (YMCA) is part of the global Young Men's Christian Association movement, committed to building close-knit partnerships with stakeholders from influential corporations and organizations across industry sectors to care for the underprivileged. We aim to unite a community of like-minded people to collaboratively create a socially inclusive society in the Christian spirit of "to serve, not to be served".

ESG as Guiding Principle
ESG concept (Environmental, Social, Governance) was an initiative proposed by United Nations Global Compact in 2004 that encouraged corporates to consider "environmental, social and corporate governance" factors in their business activities and in fulfilling corporate social responsibility. Today, investors are more concerned about incorporating ESG Principle into the framework of "socially responsible investment". Y-Care CSR Scheme aims to jointly promote eco-friendly practices with corporates following ESG Principle as a way to give back to the community in multiple aspects and to create social values through diverse corporate volunteer programmes. Ultimately, it will achieve win-win-win impacts for corporates, society and the environment at large.
