Standard Chartered –  Driving Hong Kong’s Growth Together 

HKGCC is Hong Kong’s oldest chamber, and Standard Chartered is its longest-standing member – making this a strong, special and enduring partnership spanning 165 years.   

We take pride in having witnessed Hong Kong’s rise into an influential and leading global city, and hopefully, in having each played a part in contributing to this journey.     

Hong Kong’s success has always been underpinned by a vibrant business community. HKGCC has always been that trusted platform – representing the voice of businesses, and importantly, the voice of reason.  

By bringing together the business community, government, regulators and global partners, HKGCC has created a powerful ecosystem that fosters dialogue, trust, and collaboration.  

Our shared objective is clear: we both want to see Hong Kong succeed. We both want to use this platform to advocate for what is best for Hong Kong and to strengthen its competitiveness on the global stage.   

For Standard Chartered, HKGCC is a partner, an ally, and a friend.  

Congratulations to HKGCC on this monumental 165-year milestone!

Jardine Matheson –  Trusted Partners Through Time 

As a founding member of HKGCC, Jardines is proud to have partnered with the Chamber, and together witness Hong Kong’s growth through different economic cycles, challenges and successes.   

Throughout that time, the Chamber has been a part of the infrastructure of Hong Kong commerce as a source of continuity while markets and economic models come and go.  

For a long-established firm like Jardines – deeply connected to Hong Kong – HKGCC has been an enduring partner.   

Through its advocacy, the Chamber has helped drive constructive dialogue and action across sectors.   

Through its networks, it has helped engage with stakeholders across businesses, government and the community to ensure Hong Kong’s continued success.   

And through its events, it has enabled colleagues to stay informed and can build the skills needed to be remain future-ready.  

The Chamber has played an important role in bringing people together – international and local businesses, policymakers and institutions - in a way that supports informed decision- making.   

This, in turn, helps generate long-term confidence in Hong Kong and its stability.  

Hong Kong remains home for Jardines, and in today’s world – where trust could be low and uncertainty is high – the role for both organisations will be key.  

Our partnership will be vital as we look to Hong Kong’s future.  

Happy 165th Anniversary to HKGCC!
