On March 16th 2011, CEDS signed a MOU with the Earth Charter International to be their affiliate in Hong Kong with the view of scaling up the Earth Charter Initiative worldwide through acting as a key node of its activities in the region.

The Earth Charter Initiative Mission is to establish a sound ethical foundation for the emerging global society and to promote the transition to a sustianable way of life founded on: respect and care for the community of life, ecological integrity, universal human rights, respect for diversity, economic justice, democracy and a culture of peace.

We invite you to learn more about the Earth Charter which guides the values of our business and corporate social responsibility. For more information about the Earth Charter, kindly view: www.earthcharterinaction.org

As part of our effort to promote The Earth Charter among the youth, CEDS sponsored 3 outstanding youth leaders to attend The Earth Charter + 10 International Conference held at The Centre for Enviornmental Education at Ahmedabad, India on 1-3 November 2010.

CEDS will continue to provide opportunities for more youth leaders active in the local community to have a wider exposure towards global issues and will endeavor to support them in their global networking at this early stage of their development towards global citizenship.
