On World Mental Health Day on 10 Oct. 2019, corporate Members of Shared Value Initiative Hong Kong (SVIHK) announced a collective pledge to improve mental well-being in their workplaces and reduce stigma on mental health topics in Hong Kong. Pledging Members include Accenture, AIA Hong Kong, AXA, Barclays, EY, Nestlé, Tricor Group and The Executive Centre, representing prominent businesses in Hong Kong from diverse industries and with large workforces and customer bases.
Global challenges are more apparent than ever. In an increasingly volatile, complex and uncertain environment it requires resilience for businesses to survive, let alone thrive. From every crisis, opportunities arise to innovate and a shared value culture opens up strategic possibilities and will differentiate an organization whilst simultaneously driving the next wave of innovation, productivity and economic growth.
Message from our Chairman: I am pleased to announce that Gaëlle Loiseau has been appointed to the position of CEO of Shared Value Initiative Hong Kong effective 3 June 2019, replacing Kathryn Greenberg, who is moving on to new endeavors.
Last month, we convened eight diverse organisations to define a shared vision and high-level roadmap for tackling the mental health problem in Hong Kong, at a Vision-setting and Scoping Workshop delivered by Accenture.
