Giving back to society

BOCHK focuses on local community needs through our charitable donation strategies and policies. Collaborating with community partners, we deliver initiatives with a special focus on poverty alleviation and youth development. We also support projects covering sports, innovative technology and arts and culture, among others.

We strictly manage our donations through a comprehensive system that identifies and approves suitable projects, evaluates effectiveness, ensures sound financial auditing and prevents anti-money laundering and corruption. We constantly review and enhance this system in accordance with relevant laws and guidelines.
