About Us

The Home Affairs Department (HAD) has been actively supporting the development of social enterprises (SEs) by introducing and promoting them through different channels, so as to enhance public awareness of SEs and encourage the public to shop at SEs by purchasing their products and services.

Our publicity work includes producing and launching TV Announcements in the Public Interest (APIs), outdoor advertisements, television and radio specials, online videos, and organising territory-wide or district-based projects and activities. Also, arrangements are made for SEs to promote their business and sell their products at major trade fairs, such as Hong Kong Brands and Products Expo, and the Food Expo, providing direct access for the public to learn more about SEs and buy their products and services.

Furthermore, the HAD has launched an SE mascot - Bloomy The Tree and the "SE Tree Mark" Programme for assisting the general public in identifying SEs with a view to attracting people of all ages to understand and support SEs.

We regularly share information and promotional offers on SE products on our Facebook and Instagram pages. Want to keep up with the latest SEs news? Scan the QR code or click the link below to "Follow" our Facebook and Instagram pages.
