Sa Sa International chairman and CEO Dr Simon Kwok has been named Business Person of the Year at the DHL/SCMP Hong Kong Business Awards 2018.
The award, organised by DHL and the South China Morning Post, honoured his achievements in the business community and positive contributions to society.
A statement released by Sa Sa read: “Dr Kwok continuously drives innovation and change … he envisions the use of big data and business intelligence by integrating customer data of various business units to better analyse customers’ preferences and new trends, thereby creating seamless online-to-offline customer experience in the long run.
“Upholding the belief that a high level of corporate governance is the cornerstone of sustaining shareholder value and balancing the interests of stakeholders, Dr Kwok strives to maintain long-term relationship with stakeholders and fulfill corporate social responsibility, providing keen support to environmental conservation and sustainability works as well as tender care to society.”
Dr Kwok said he felt incredibly honoured to be awarded the prestigious accolade on the 40th anniversary of Sa Sa. “Over the years, our Sa Sa team has kept up with the positive, agile Hong Kong spirit, working hand in hand to overcome the challenges while keeping abreast of time … Moving forward, we will continue to pursue sustainable growth, and bring more positive energy into the society, thereby ‘making life beautiful’ for others.”
