Out of about 1,200 submissions, only 350 local & international companies were nominated. Flextronics emerged to win the “Employee Care” category. The prestigious award was organized by WTO Tribune, a publication that focuses on Corporate Social Responsibility research and training. The award was also co-sponsored by the Society of HR Management (SHRM), CSR Europe, and Japan's Council for Better Corporate Citizenship.
Flextronics was selected based on its successful partnership with the Culture and Communications Center for Facilitators (CCCF), a local non-governmental organization (NGO). The collaboration aims to help China's migrant workers discover and fulfill their potential and aspirations, overcome the challenges from living and working in a new environment, and come up with effective ways for meeting their emotional and developmental needs. The CCCF also aims to help migrant workers develop self-respect, dignity, and a sense of belonging; so they can be empowered to develop the means to reach their aspirations and to contribute to their communities.
The award was received by Richard Wong, VP of Global CSR and Employee Relations. "I am proud to be on the stage with the world renowned companies such as Tyco, Intel, Emerson, Bank of China, BASF and Standard Chartered Bank. This prestigious award is a testament to our efforts in delivering our corporate social responsibility promise to build communities inside and around Flextronics to ensure a sustainable environment."
