We give priority to education and set up funds to nurture our future leaders.

	Our staff participated in the MTR Hong Kong Race Walking 2008.

SOCAM is engaged in a wide range of initiatives to help the less privileged in society and promote education in Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland. Often with the support of our staff, these programmes are conducted in close collaboration with non-profit organisations in Hong Kong and business partners in the Chinese Mainland.

Education
The Group places a high priority on education which we believe is instrumental in building the economic base of the community and nurturing our leaders for tomorrow. We have continued to support the Whole Person Education Foundation and the Hong Kong Construction Association's funding for students pursuing further studies. The Group also continues a scholarship that has awarded outstanding students in Environmental Studies at the Open University of Hong Kong, and donated funds to Room to Read, a charity that aims to establish a stronger educational infrastructure.

In the Chinese Mainland, our joint venture with Shui On Land and Yida Group created the Dalian Tiandi • Software Hub IT Talents Fund and Huangnichuan Village New Village Development Fund.

Social Involvement
In addition to our involvement at the corporate level, we take pride in encouraging our staff to be responsible citizens and contribute to society. Our senior executives serve in industry associations and public bodies. Our staff actively participate in charitable activities, such as the MTR Hong Kong Race Walking event, which raised funds in 2007 and 2008 for the Hospital Authority Charitable Foundation. Our construction project staff working in Yau Tong provided free electrical and mechanical maintenance services to the elderly and organised a wall painting campaign in an initiative to involve school students and local residents in the district.
