Contributing to the community
UBM Asia serves a wide range of global markets and we support not just the community where we are but also the most needy ones through donation.
- The Society of Rehabilitation and Crime Prevention
UBM Asia supported the Society to provide rehabilitation services for ex-offenders to re-establish themselves in society, to lead a fulfilling life and to participate in community-wide crime prevention activities.
- Médecins Sans Frontières
With great support from our staff, we made a donation to MSF, an international humanitarian aid organisation that provides emergency medical assistance to populations in danger in more than 70 countries.
- Rotary Club of Hong Kong Golden Jubilee Fund Ltd
This project aimed to help to rehabilitate children who were psychologically traumatised due to the 2004 tsunami in Thailand. By providing new school buildings, books and other learning materials and equipment, it helped about 100 school children aged from 4 to 12 in the Khao Lak area of Phang-nga province, one of the most affected regions of the tsunami disaster to resume their studies.

UBM Asia contributed to the organisation's efforts to increase survival rates and enhance the quality of life of all children suffering from cancer, in caring for their physical, psychological and social well-being.
- Oxfam Hong Kong
In support of the Society, UBM Asia contributed to the work against poverty, distress and suffering. The latest support is to the Sichuan earthquake victims, who are suffering shortage of food, drinking water, medical supplies and other emergency aid.
- Blood Donation programme
We encourage our staff at our Hong Kong office to participate in blood donation for community supply, and we get much support from our staff every year.
- Meixi Village Primary School Building Construction Project
The project aims to provide a safe learning environment for the students and teachers in the Meixi Village Primary School, a school with endangerd building in a poorest village in Yangbi, Dali in the Yunnan province. With the donation from UBM Asia, a three-level six-classroom school with a sanitary toilet has been built to serve the needs of 170 students and 14 teachers in the area.
- Caring Company Award
UBM Asia was awarded a Caring Company for the sixth year for providing training and work opportunities for ex-mentally ill and physically handicapped persons. The award is commendation to companies and organisations that have been caring for the community.
- Friends of the Earth
UBM Asia's Diamond team won the Charity Tree-Planting Silver Award for the high donation they achieved and 'The Smartest Tree Planting Award' in The Tree Planting Challenge 2009 organised by Friends of the Earth. Members include Celine Lau, Cora Chan, Calis Ho and Chris Ng from the Jewellery Exhibition Team. This event was organised to plant as many trees as possible on mountains to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide. Participants were given a very tough mission of carrying seedlings and planting tools uphill, digging pits, planting trees on the slope and completing a distance of 10 km within six hours.
