Corporate Partnerships

Corporate donors play important roles in supporting our conservation efforts. Sponsoring our work in Hong Kong or elsewhere in Asia demonstrates that your company places great emphasis on social responsibility as well as sustainable business development. Here are some examples of our corporate partnerships:

Hong Kong, known for its ecologically important horseshoe crab habitats, is home to two of four existing horseshoe crab species – the Mangrove horseshoe crab and the endangered Tri-spine horseshoe crab. Unfortunately, these incredible creatures are facing the threat of extinction due to human factors affecting their habitat and low survival rates of juvenile horseshoe crabs. The Ocean Park Conservation Foundation, Hong Kong (OPCFHK) has actively undertaken conservation efforts to enhance the breeding and survival rates of the local horseshoe crab population. Recognising the challenge of conducting ecological research under the sea where adult horseshoe crabs primarily reside, OPCFHK, with the generous support of Edrington Hong Kong, initiated the design and implementation of the first underwater automated acoustic telemetry system for a pilot tracking study of endangered horseshoe crabs in Hong Kong. The initiative started in October 2023 represents an important milestone in local horseshoe crab conservation. Long-time OPCFHK partner Cordis, Hong Kong showed its ongoing support through its Cordis Kids Programme. Inspired by the endangered red panda, the mascot of the Cordis Kids Programme not only helps to promote environmental awareness to young guests, but also encourages guests to support OPCFHK's wildlife conservation projects, including those focused on protecting red pandas and their habitats, as well as other species. Guests can support these efforts by donating all proceeds from the sales of the program's plush Cody and Coco toys to OPCFHK, placing donations in the charity campaign envelopes provided in guestrooms.

Lan Kwai Fong Holdings Limited has sponsored the University Student Sponsorship Programme in Wildlife Conservation since 2007, nurturing young talents for conservation.

Wessen Group Ltd supported the conservation project of giant pandas through funding and arranged site-visit to Shaanxi Province for company staff and business partners from South Korea and Germany to learn more about giant panda conservation.

Citywalk co-organised a one-year giant panda conservation programme with the Foundation. Visitors and shoppers could learn interesting facts about giant pandas through the panels in the mall, and they donated to OPCFHK through the adorable giant panda Octopus donation kiosk.

State Street Asia Limited sponsored the “Juvenile Horseshoe Crab Rearing Programme 2013-14”. Staff volunteered in several horseshoe crab conservation activities. They brought their knowledge, professional skills and expertise into full play as the students’ mentors; and assisted students in planning and organizing educational and promotional activities. The above photo was taken when volunteers from State Street Asia Limited helped remove the oyster shell clusters and concrete pegs washed ashore from nearby oyster farms that affect juvenile horseshoe crabs and interfere with the feeding habits of seabirds.

Corporate Commemorative Donations

Make your corporate functions and events even more special and meaningful by simply inviting your business contacts, clients, and suppliers to make cash donation to the Foundation instead of sending gifts. Your generosity does not only raise funds for our wildlife conservation efforts, but also demonstrates your company’s good corporate citizenship, as well as your commitment to create a sustainable future for the generations to come!

Corporate Event Donations

You can make your corporate functions and events more meaningful by adding charitable initiatives to your events.  Making OPCFHK as a beneficiary of your events and donate proceeds from entrance fee, participation fee, or providing a platform to raise funds from participants for OPCFHK will mean a lot to our conservation work. You can also demonstrate your corporate citizenship at the same time!

Wildlife Conservation Staff Engagement Activities

  • Volunteer for Mudflat Cleanup in Order to Restore Habitat of Horseshoe Crabs
    The mudflats of Ha Pak Nai and Shui Hau Wan support a wide range of wild animals including horseshoe crabs (HSC, supported by OPCFHK), mud skippers, fiddle crabs, etc.  Clearing debris, abandoned fishing nets and oyster clutches on the shore can help restore the natural habitat of HSC as well as seabirds and other wildlife species, conserving the environment of Hong Kong.

    The mudflat clean-up programme of OPCFHK aims to engage people in wildlife conservation.  Through the hands-on conservation work, participants can learn more about local wildlife and the conservation efforts of OPCFHK.

 

  • Chinese White Dolphin Eco-tours
    Organize an eco-tour for your staff or members to meet the resident Chinese white dolphins in our waters!  We provide professional narrators to introduce the behaviors and living environment of these local marine ambassadors, explain the different threats they are facing, and so on.  Most importantly, participants will learn how they can play a part in conserving and protecting the dolphins in Hong Kong.
    ​

 

  • Talks and Field Trips about Wildlife Conservation
    We believe education helps the public to understand the importance of wildlife conservation better and what can be done in order to create a sustainable future.  We have experienced and knowledgeable experts who can deliver customized talks about wildlife conservation as a staff activity or company function.
