Thanks to the support and participation of companies and organisations, the Scheme has received a total of 5,289 nominations, with an impressive 4,210 companies and organisations awarded the Caring Company / Caring Organisation logos. The Scheme encourages the business sector to actively practice corporate social responsibility (CSR) through three main categories: Caring for the Community, Caring for the Employees, and Caring for the Environment, joining hands with HKCSS to promote sustainable development and a culture of care in society.

In 2023, companies and organisations actively participated in various community activities through collaborations with NGOs. They collectively donated over HK$350 million to community projects, created over 8,000 job opportunities or placements, and contributed more than 150,000 volunteer hours. Furthermore, companies and organisations actively established a culture of care, expressing respect for employees and their roles within their families through the implementation of corresponding caring measures and policies. Regarding care for the environment, the number of companies and organisations incorporating environmental protection policies and measures into their operational models has significantly increased, reflecting the importance of integrating CSR into daily operations.
