UBM Asia Organises Non-Profit Business4Better in China
HONG KONG, Feb. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- UBM Asia will be organising the first Business4Better China (B4B China), a non-profit event for establishing community partnership projects, from 15 - 16 July 2015 at Shanghai KIC Conference Center, China.
Supported by Social Giving Services Committee (SGSC) and volunteering UBM staff, B4B China will gather together community partners to connect with medium-sized businesses and non-profit organisations in China. While many large Fortune 1,000 businesses have advanced CSR programs in China, B4B China aims to target primarily medium-sized enterprises that are keen to develop more active community engagement and involvement.
Jime Essink, President & CEO of UBM Asia, said: "It is the long tail of medium-sized businesses that have the highest potential for impact because of the large number of businesses and their proximity to the community. Business4Better is a global initiative by UBM that had been launched in the UK, the US, Brazil and India since five years ago to support the communities in which we work. UBM Asia has been in the China exhibition industry for about 35 years. Our management and 700 staff in China are actively involved in serving and giving back to the local community by organising a wide range of CSR activities every year. Thanks to the support of SGSC, we are now able to make a big leap forward with B4B China by bringing together businesses, organisations and people together for bigger impact."
Participants at B4B China will explore high-impact community initiatives and network to enhance the knowledge, competencies and contacts to make a substantive impact on corporate social responsibilities as well as on business performance.
B4B China is not only for Corporate Social Responsibility professionals, but also for business representatives in public relations, human resources, marketing or anyone who are or want to be involved in Corporate Social Responsibility, philanthropy, corporate giving, sustainability or employee volunteering.
