          Corporate Citizenship
        
        
          The Land Registry attaches great importance to social responsibility and strives to uphold a high standard of
        
        
          corporate citizenship.  Our commitment is demonstrated through our efforts in seven main areas.
        
        
          Supporting Social Services
        
        
          The Land Registry Volunteer Team has been joining hands with some ten other Government departments to
        
        
          run a “Crossover Volunteer Project” programme since 2005.  In 2013/14, the Volunteer Team organised 23
        
        
          volunteer activities for the elderly and hospitalised patients.  We also encouraged our staff to contribute their
        
        
          own time to organise and participate in volunteer activities and community programmes.
        
        
          In recognition of our continuing efforts in serving the community, the Hong Kong Council of Social Service
        
        
          once again awarded the “Five Years Plus Caring Organisation” logo to the Land Registry in February 2014.
        
        
          Encouraging Donations
        
        
          We support donation drives and charities by
        
        
          encouraging staff to participate in charity
        
        
          events.  In 2013/14, we continued to encourage
        
        
          staff to participate and contribute in a variety of
        
        
          activities organised by the Community Chest,
        
        
          including Dress Casual Day, Love Teeth Day,
        
        
          Green Day and Skip Lunch Day. We also raised
        
        
          funds for the Hong Kong Paralympic
        
        
          Committee and Sports Association for the
        
        
          Physically Disabled through joining the
        
        
          Standard Chartered Marathon.
        
        
          Promoting Equal Opportunities
        
        
          We are committed to eliminating discrimination (including sex, disability, family status and race) in
        
        
          employment and promoting equal opportunities for all staff.
        
        
          In 2013/14, we continued to provide placement opportunities for people in need through participating in the
        
        
          Social Welfare Department’s Sunnyway Programme and the Labour Department’s Youth Pre-employment
        
        
          Training — Workplace Attachment Programme.  Besides, for promoting job opportunities for the socially
        
        
          disadvantaged groups, we invited social enterprises to bid for our office cleaning service contract and
        
        
          providing catering service for our departmental function during Christmas.
