Firms lack responsibility: poll
The public scores Hong Kong companies low on corporate social responsibility. The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong this month asked 456 people to rate the social responsibility of local firms on a five-point scale, with one being the worst and five the best. More than 47 per cent gave one or two points, with the average being 2.54.
