匯豐捐出6,000萬元抗疫 料60萬人受惠
匯豐宣布,因應新型冠狀病毒對社區的影響,自匯豐慈善基金捐出6,000萬元抗疫,料全港有60萬人受惠。是次匯豐夥拍幾家長期合作的慈善機構,包括社聯、惜食堂、香港紅十字會,及聖雅各福群會,提供短中長期的支援,由食物、抗疫物資,以至未來技能培訓,將惠及本港60萬低收入家庭、長者及弱勢社群。解決社區燃眉之急的例子包括派發6.5萬個食物包、透過學校網絡供應1.3萬個防疫用品包,及提供兼職工作機會等,較長遠的項目包括為4.3萬名來自低收入家庭的人士提供災難應變、急救及預防疫症的訓練。
香港上海匯豐銀行有限公司副主席兼行政總裁王冬勝表示,匯豐是香港國際金融中心的重要部分,過去155年與香港一直並肩而行,無論順境、逆境,大家互相支持。抗疫是目前香港的當務之急,除了盡力協助客戶,亦加強與慈善機構合作,透過多個項目照顧社區的需要。他又指,香港一向經得起風浪,只要大家齊心抗疫,不但可以安然渡過,而且會比以往更強壯、更成功。
早前匯豐表示不會申請政府「保就業」工資補貼計劃,以匯豐香港員工2.1萬人計,每人最高資助額度9,000元及為期六個月,相關部份涉資約12億元。
