Enterprise Put Extra Focus on Customer Service As Retail Sales Decelerated

94 Local Companies Recognised at The 8th "Consumer Caring Scheme" Breaking the Scheme Record

 

Hong Kong, 11 January 2019 - GS1 Hong Kong announced the results of the 8th "Consumer Caring Scheme", where a record-breaking of 94 local enterprises were awarded as "Consumer Caring Companies". Through a series of rigorous assessment, they were commended for providing consumers with safe and high quality products and first-class service. 34 companies received the “Consumer Caring 5 years+” Award, applauding their perseverance and commitment to consumer care for more than 5 years. 

 

Data from the Census and Statistics Department of the HKSAR Government released on 3 January showed that, the retail sales in November 2018 is decelerated, reflecting more cautious consumption sentiment in the face of various external uncertainties such as volatilities in the global financial markets.  Various Scheme Awardees sensed the slow-down of the retail market, and believed making customer-centricity the number one goal to deliver personalised service and shopping experience to break through the clutter.

 

“While consumer sentiment could be affected by the external uncertainties these days, it is prime time that enterprises should place consumer experience as one of their business priorities, offering customized service and preserving customer loyalty consistently," said Ms. Anna Lin, Chief Executive of GS1 Hong Kong.

 

Consumer Caring Companies in this year come from a variety of industries, including food, pharmaceuticals and health products, business and professional services, information and communication technology, entertainment and travel services, retail and shopping (Please refer to the Appendix for details). They have been assessed through different reviews, including field visits and consumer surveys.  Judging criteria is based on seven core consumer caring values, including consumer care, sincerity, commitment, product quality and safety assurance, service quality understanding consumer behaviours and caring for employees.  They all showed their first-class service and performance, as well as consumer satisfaction with the company.

 

“More than a hundred of local businesses across industries have been recognized as “Consumer Caring Companies” since the launch in 2011, symbolising quality and virtue. The award-winning companies have displayed the effective use of international standards, information technology, and the optimisation of supply chain management to improve business processes to enhance consumer satisfaction. I would like to extend my congratulations to all the award-winning companies and look forward to more award-winning companies in the coming year which brings more quality services and products. " said Ms. Anna Lin.

 

The award ceremony will be arranged on 12 March at InterContinental Hong Kong Hotel. For more information about “Consumer Caring Scheme”, please visit www.consumercaring.com.
