With sustainability as BCT’s core value, we strongly believe that it can create long-term value to our shareholders, employees, customers, business partners and the community.

                                                              Since 2014, BCT has been recognized in World Green Organisation's ("WGO") "Green Office Awards Labelling Scheme" and "Sustainable Business Award” for our efforts made in environmental protection, workplace quality, green operations practices and community involvement.

                                                              As we celebrate our birthday with the theme “Embracing a Sustainable Future”, we will be collaborating with WGO to present a green campaign named “WGO x BCT Paper Saving Pioneers" 「惜紙先鋒」 on Saturday, 29 June 2019.

We aim at achieving the following goals through the collaboration.

This enables us to independently appoint investment managers with diverse investment styles and philosophies to be used in our schemes. For further details, please refer to the latest principal brochure. As of today, 8 fund managers have been engaged to help managing your MPF. Overall speaking, the use of multiple fund managers allows us to focus on, among others, the service quality of the fund managers through our selection and monitoring process and provides us with the flexibility to replace fund managers independently.
