For businesses seeking resilience, relevance and long-term value, it's time to make social impact part of the core strategy. That’s the key message of the S+ Summit cum Expo 2025, where Hong Kong’s business leaders, social innovators, and community builders will converge to reimagine how cross-sector collaboration can drive both profit and purpose. Taking place on 20-21 May at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, the S+ Summit cum Expo is Hong Kong’s largest cross-sector platform dedicated to sustainable development and social service innovation. "The S+ Summit cum Expo is a key platform for the Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS) to promote cross-sector collaboration, using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) as a shared framework for exploring innovative social solutions,” said Grace Chan Man-yee, chief executive of HKCSS. With 32 seminars and workshops, 130+ speakers from France, Japan, Singapore, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), mainland China, and across Hong Kong, the event aims to foster collaboration on a wide range of issues from AI ethics and youth mental health, to corporate-social partnerships, diversity, the silver economy and caregiver support. This year's theme, centred on the "Three S's" – Synergy, Social Impact and Sustainability, seeks to shift the narrative from traditional corporate social responsibility (CSR) to genuine co-creation and systemic change. "Gone is the old mindset of companies merely donating money or doing one-off volunteer days," said Dr Jessica Tam Wing-sai, business director at the Hong Kong Council of Social Service (HKCSS), organiser of the S+ Summit cum Expo. "We're talking about businesses integrating social purpose into their operations and products, allowing them to generate profit while creating lasting impact.
