A seven-year-old Hong Kong start-up has won the first gold Deignan Award for Responsible Entrepreneurship. GoGoChart Technology has provided digital solutions to more than 2,000 in different sectors in over 60 countries since its foundation in 2017.
The award is named for Father Alfred Deignan, an Irish Jesuit priest who served in Hong Kong from 1953 until his death in 2018. It awards small and medium-size enterprises (SMEs) for ethical business practices and encourage them to follow justice, solidarity and social responsibility.
The first award ceremony was held on Saturday at a lecture hall at Chinese University, attended by VIPs including Stephen Chow, S.J., Bishop of Hong Kong, Dr Bernard Chan Pak Li, Under-Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development, and Dr Stephan Rothlin, S.J, chairman of the Deignan Award.
