Turn Action into Social Impact
Established by the Fullness Social Enterprises Society (FSES) in 2015, the Social Enterprise Supporter Award Scheme promotes cross-sector collaboration to help corporations and organisations achieve their corporate social responsibility (CSR), creating shared value (CSV) and environmental, social and governance (ESG) objectives.
To date, the scheme has recognised over 500 organisations as SE Supporters, generating over HK$58 million in accumulated Ethical Consumption (EC).
The 2026 scheme comprises three award categories: the SE Supporter Award, the Social Leadership Award (new) and the Partnership Award (new).
Recognises organisations with measurable procurement support for social enterprises and encourages larger Ethical Consumption (EC) commitments. Each tier requires all of the following:
| Tier | Total spending | SEs supported | M.O.V.E.R. areas |
|---|---|---|---|
| SE Supporter Excellence | HKD 200,000 + | At least 3 | At least 3 |
| SE Supporter Plus | HKD 50,000 + | At least 2 | At least 2 |
| SE Supporter | HKD 10,000 + | At least 1 | At least 2 |
Recognises senior executives, business owners and industry leaders who actively champion collaboration with social enterprises within their companies and across their industries. Assessment focuses on the nominee's personal influence and systemic change, independent of company size or revenue:
Drives significant shifts in internal corporate culture, mindset or operating model; embeds social responsibility into core business strategy; successfully overcomes internal resistance.
Extends influence beyond the nominee's own organisation; shapes industry standards, supply chain practices or cross-industry policies; shares knowledge generously to raise standards among industry peers.
Delivers tangible, long-term benefits to the wider community or environment; serves as an inspiring role model in advancing social well-being; advocates systemic solutions.
Recognises businesses that have built in-depth, sustained and strategically valuable partnerships with social enterprises. The focus is not only on purchasing SE products or services, but on jointly planning and delivering specific collaborations.
The collaboration directly addresses an established SE need, aligns with both partners' core missions and has clearly defined shared goals rather than a one-sided transaction.
Demonstrates clear, measurable social or environmental benefits and improves the well-being, skills or livelihoods of target beneficiary groups.
The collaboration model is financially viable and mutually beneficial, with potential to scale or be replicated in other departments or industries.
Introduces innovative engagement models, procurement practices or emerging tools and promotes mutual learning and skill-sharing.
Moves from one-off purchases to embedded institutional support through policy changes, volunteering, mentoring or pro-bono resources.
Data, beneficiary testimonials and project details are clearly documented and verified, and the case is suitable for public sharing.
Applying the company's own marketing resources and expertise to help social enterprises promote their products, services or social causes.
Beyond procurement, outsourcing selected internal processes to social enterprises to provide stable business and support their sustainable development.
Employees contributing professional knowledge, skills or labour as volunteers to meet social enterprises' needs.
Promoting ethical consumption within the company, covering both corporate procurement and employees' personal consumption, to provide tangible support for the sustainable growth of social enterprises.
Providing financial or in-kind resources to give projects a solid operational foundation.
Corporates enter their own procurement amount and M.O.V.E.R. scope, upload their company or organisation logo, and submit the relevant details for the Social Leadership Award / Partnership Award, where applicable. This route collects the most complete information.
Social enterprises complete a form to nominate commercial partners that have supported them. Eligible social enterprises are those listed in the FSES SE List, the SE Directory (HKCSS), the Social Enterprise Endorsement (SEE) Mark directory (GCSE) or the SE Tree Mark scheme (HAD).
A corporate already nominated by a social enterprise that has also procured from other social enterprises may submit a self-nomination form covering the social enterprises not yet declared; the organiser will assess all information together. Self-nomination also allows corporates to supplement or correct SE-submitted information and may qualify them for a higher tier.
Company or organisation logo (no larger than 5MB; .ai or .png); procurement details for each social enterprise supported, including product/service category and total amount (HKD); at least two collaboration areas under the M.O.V.E.R. Model, with a brief description of no more than 100 words.
Name and title of the organisation's representative entering the award, plus a summary of no more than 100 words for each of the following three areas: Organisational Transformation, Industry Influence and Social Impact.
FSES will select outstanding collaboration projects from the eligible nominations received this year, covering strategic relevance, social value, sustainability, creativity, depth of collaboration and supporting evidence.
Past awardees
Recognising organisations that have supported social enterprises through procurement and collaboration.
Hong Kong’s premier corporate ESG award, recognising companies that build genuine, impactful partnerships with social enterprises — going beyond compliance to deliver measurable positive change for the community.
The SE Support Award is the Fullness Social Enterprises Society’s annual recognition programme, honouring companies that show genuine commitment to SE partnerships. It is not a token CSR award, but a rigorous assessment of partnership depth, sustained investment and measurable community impact.
Winners are assessed across four dimensions: depth of SDG impact, partnership duration, breadth of beneficiary reach and reporting quality. Awarded companies receive FSES certification and public recognition at the annual Impact Summit.
Only companies registered on ImpactBridge with at least one active, FSES-verified partnership are eligible to apply.
Recognising corporate partners that support SEs in social services, elderly care, youth development and community building. Judging values multi-year sustained engagement and contribution to Hong Kong’s community cohesion.
Recognising companies partnering with environmental and sustainability SEs — those embedding genuine green supply chains, circular-economy practices or climate-action programmes into their operations.
Recognising companies partnering with SEs that advance employment, skills training and economic inclusion for disadvantaged groups, including people with disabilities, ethnic minorities, rehabilitated persons and new arrivals.
Scored across four dimensions, arranged left to right by weighting
The breadth and specificity of SDG contributions made through SE partnerships. Judging values quality of engagement and alignment with core SDG indicators over broad claims.
Sustained engagement reflects genuine commitment rather than a one-off gesture. Partnerships of 12 months or longer score higher, with extra points for annual renewals.
The number of people benefiting through the partnership — including SE staff, direct beneficiaries and community members served by corporate-funded programmes.
The rigour and transparency of impact reports submitted through ImpactBridge. Clear metrics and consistent methodology outweigh polished narratives lacking substance.
Applications are submitted through the ImpactBridge corporate partner portal. Only companies registered with at least one FSES-verified active partnership are eligible.
