The School of Business (SBUS) at The Hang Seng University of Hong Kong (HSUHK) successfully hosted the 15th Junzi Corporation Awards Presentation Ceremony on 27 July, recognising 34 organisations across a total of 36 awards for their unwavering commitment to ethical business practices. Alongside the presentations, HSUHK officially unveiled the HSUHK Business Ethics Index 2026, which climbed to 67.2, extending its steady upward trajectory in recent years.

This year’s ceremony marked an all-time high in participation, with the number of applicant organisations surging by more than 30% year-on-year. The robust growth reflects growing recognition among Hong Kong enterprises that ethical conduct and corporate trustworthiness are core to long-term competitiveness. To broaden the Awards’ social reach and impact, HSUHK introduced two new categories in 2026: the Junzi Corporation Award (Social Enterprise) and Junzi Corporation Award (Charitable Organisation). These additions complement the long-standing Junzi Corporation Award and Junzi Corporation Award (Small and Medium Enterprise), and honour mission-driven entities that advance social good and community development.

In total, 34 outstanding organisations were honoured across the four categories: 12 recipients of the Junzi Corporation Award, 13 of the Junzi Corporation Award (Small and Medium Enterprise), 5 of the Junzi Corporation Award (Social Enterprise), and 4 of the Junzi Corporation Award (Charitable Organisation). Among this year’s honourees, Henderson Land Development Company Limited received the Junzi Corporation Award for Exemplary Business Practices, while Peoplebank Hong Kong Limited was presented with the Junzi Corporation Award for Exemplary Business Practices (Small and Medium Enterprise). Both accolades recognise the recipients’ exceptional adherence to ethical business principles and their meaningful contributions to industry progress and community wellbeing.
