Community Initiatives

We envisage the MTR to be a system of natural community centres for social interaction as well as public enjoyment. Our long-standing tradition of community partnering through in-kind support for numerous charities and NGOs helps to raise funds and social awareness in the broader community. We have offered our shopping malls, station spaces and staff volunteers to help stage local community activities, special events, advertising and exhibitions for a wide variety of special needs and charitable causes across Hong Kong. We donate cash raised through companygenerated activities (HK$ 2.85 million in 2004) along with useable office equipment and supplies to charities. We also worked hand in hand with the community to aid the tsunami disaster relief campaign. We donated, on behalf of the company and staff, HK$ 2 million in cash and opened our stations to charitable organisations for the collection of monies from the public.
