【Corporation / Socially Responsible Corporation】(by Director Chu)
Businesses exist to make a profit, like 7-11 or other business entities, and they are called for-profit organizations. HanGuang Education Foundation and schools are non-for-profit organizations, where making money isn’t our goal. We aim to improve social welfare with the money that we make and do things that are in the best interest of the society.
Socially Responsible Corporation is a bridge between for-profit and non-for-profit entities. For example, HanGuang Vocal Band charges a fee for performing in different venues. However, after all related costs are deducted, the remaining profit will go towards social welfare, helping the needies, or promoting other social events. |
