The Foundation supports the Freshwater Health Index Programmes of Conservation International to develop an accessible, groundbreaking measuring tool that stakeholders across all sectors could easily deploy to obtain relevant information on the health of the freshwater systems on which they depend.
The Center for Corporate Governance at Tsinghua University in Beijing, supported by the Foundation, was established in 2009. The Center’s mission is to promote high-quality research, education and training on corporate governance issues in China. Related activities include surveys, case studies, conferences and forums.
The Foundation sponsored the Clayton Christensen Institute to engage in Research and Development on management. The work would include developing and improving management theories, as well as applying those theories to important problems about business and society. The grant would also support working with the Fung Group to make such management theories available to a broad Asian audience and will benefit developing countries. The research covers two key areas:
Research Area 1: Creating Growth Through Identifying Non- Consumption; and
Research Area 2: Platforms and the Modularization of the Global Supply Chain.
The Series, jointly organised with Our Hong Kong Foundation, has brought together the entrepreneurial and inventive community to strengthen the ecosystem of creativity and innovation in Hong Kong.
The Foundation supported faculty staff from Tsinghua University in Beijing, Fudan University in Shanghai, and Lingnan (University) College Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, to participate in study sessions at MIT, and for MIT Faculty members to participate in educational activities at the three institutions in China.
The Foundation sponsored Innovation in Action, a forum co-organised by Executive Education, Faculty of Business and Economics at The University of Hong Kong, and Innofoco. The forum was to help Hong Kong corporations and organisations develop and implement a culture of innovation, and to enable Hong Kong to stay abreast of global trends in innovation and corporate venturing.
The Foundation set up the Li & Fung China Social Policy Research Fund to support the Joint PolyU-PekingU Social Work Research and Development Centre. The aim of the Centre is to provide better coordination for joint research endeavours, further sharpen research agendas, and develop better linkages with stakeholders and government ministries. One branch is on the Peking University campus and the other at PolyU. Activity areas supported by the Fund include action-oriented social policy research, PhD training programmes, and nationwide and global dissemination of research findings through journal articles, book and conferences.

The Foundation sponsored this study on the Haven of Hope Christian Service. The study was led by Professor Danny Lam, Deputy Director of the HKU-HKJC Excellence and Capacity-Building for Entrepreneurship and Leadership for the Third Sector (ExCEL3) Project. The project aimed to build the capacity of non-governmental organisations and empower civil society in Hong Kong, as well as to build HKU’s research and teaching capacity in the study of civil society. The study was published as well as presented with empirical findings at a conference to help establish best practice in Asia.
With the Foundation among its sponsors, the forum was an opportunity to share ideas and issues related to new developments and trends in business ethics. It also presented current thinking and research on pressing issues in business ethics, globally. Professor Cheng Siwei, former Vice-Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress of the People’s Republic of China, was guest of honour.
The Awareness Course equips Christians to live confidently in diverse and pluralistic societies, while respecting peoples of other faiths. The Foundation was a sponsor of the course.
