Swire Group Charitable Trust (HK)
Established in 1983, the Swire Trust serves as the philanthropic arm of Swire Pacific Limited. It is a Hong Kong-registered charity under Section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance, and is governed by a Philanthropy Council comprising senior leaders from the Group. The Swire Trust receives annual income from Group companies in Hong Kong, enabling it to support a wide range of charitable projects that address pressing social and environmental needs.
Guided by Swire's motto – Esse Quam Videri, meaning “to be, rather than to seem to be” – the Trust is motivated by altruism and aims to act for the direct benefit of society and greater good.
VISION
A thriving world of diversity, equal opportunity and sustainable growth
Value in Diversity: Hong Kong has been home to Swire for more than 150 years. In that time, the Group’s diverse businesses have contributed to the long-term development of the communities in which they operate. As such, the Trust envisions a flourishing world of diversity where all members of society have opportunities for a meaningful life, and where growth and resources are sustained for future generations.
MISSION
We empower communities and protect nature through a holistic approach, focusing on three core areas primarily in Hong Kong:
Education Advancement
To build ecosystems that ensure equitable access to quality learning for children and youth.
Marine Conservation
To address climate change, overfishing, biodiversity loss and pollution.
Community Networks Building
To empower people and NGOs to collaborate on impactful solutions that align with our funding priorities.
More information on the community work of Swire Trust can be found in the annual sustainability report here.
