Cisco Named Hong Kong’s Best Workplace by Great Place to Work

Leave a comment

News Summary

  • Cisco ranks first in "Best Workplaces in Hong Kong™ 2021"
  • Award is based on an independent employee trust audit
  • Cisco sees high levels of satisfaction among employees about leadership, organizational culture, and trust

HONG KONG, July 8, 2021 — Cisco has been ranked first in the "Best Workplaces in Hong Kong™ 2021" list. The rankings are put together based on an independent employee trust audit carried out by the Great Place to Work® organization, a global authority on workplace culture, which recognizes organizations with the most exceptional workplace culture practices.

In what has been a challenging year for companies across the world as they grappled with business disruptions and remote operations, Great Place to Work® recognized Cisco’s open and transparent work culture, and its relentless focus on employee wellbeing, as being key drivers of instilling exceptional trust among its employees.

The top ranking in Hong Kong follows Cisco’s global accolade of winning first place in both 2019 and 2020, on the global World’s Best Workplaces list by Great Place to Work® and Fortune Magazine.

Wilson Ching, General Manager of Cisco Hong Kong and Macau, said, "We are honoured and proud of the trust placed in us by our employees and of being recognized as the top place to work in Hong Kong. This award is a testament to our continuous efforts to foster a conscious culture where employees are engaged and feel supported to thrive. Our employees are our biggest differentiator, and we are committed to creating an environment where they feel empowered, and purposeful in all aspects of life."

This year’s award saw scores of companies from Hong Kong participating in the audit where employees shared their perspectives on leadership, organizational culture, and trust.

Cisco has always been committed to powering an inclusive future through innovative technology and a generous sense of corporate responsibility.  At Cisco, Conscious Culture is a way of life where management and employees are aware of the environment that they are part of, ensuring everyone feels accountable, empowered, and actively contributes to a diverse and inclusive culture where everyone feels safe and can thrive. Cisco puts employees at the heart of the business and has created the environment, characteristics and experiences that built the culture.

As a world recognized technology company, a number of rituals are practised across all Cisco teams globally to help employees stay connected and ensure a strong sense of culture. For example, every week, employees check-in with their leaders for a focused conversation about work, priorities, loves, loathes and support needed. Every quarter, leaders launch an "Engagement Pulse", a short survey to find out how team members are feeling which in turn triggers courageous conversations and reflections and helps build stronger engagement.

El Cavanagh-Lomas, Vice President, People & Communities, EMEAR & APJC, Cisco, said, "The Great Place to Work® recognition for Cisco Hong Kong is first and foremost a testament to our employees who make Cisco an amazing workplace by embodying our core values and our Conscious Culture. The certification comes at a time as we adapt to the challenges of the pandemic and as our vision of Cisco’s hybrid workplace emerges and evolves. For us, the hybrid future of work is not just about using technology – it is the resilience, adaptability, and innovation of our people, qualities that have further strengthened our inclusive culture, making Cisco a much sought-after place to work across the region."

Across the company, Cisco’s Employee Resource Organizations (EROs) foster inclusive community networks connecting employees with shared interests and beliefs across all the markets that Cisco operates in, with the goal of driving connections and helping employees unleash their full potential.

At the heart of Cisco’s workplace culture is a focus on the "Whole You". Employees are encouraged to take care of themselves and make all aspects of wellbeing (physical, social, emotional and financial) a priority, so that they may give their best at work and at home.

About the Best Workplaces in Hong Kong™ list

JinkoSolar Recognized as “Overall High Achiever” in RETC’s 2021 PVMI Report

Leave a comment

SAN FRANCISCO, June 14, 2021 — JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (the "Company" or "JinkoSolar") (NYSE:JKS), one of the largest and most innovative solar module manufacturers in the world, today announced that it has been recognized as an "Overall High Achiever" in Renewable Energy Testing Center’s ("RETC") 2021 PV Module Index Report for the second consecutive year. JinkoSolar is one of only 5 module manufacturers to receive this status in 2021.

RETC’s PVMI Report compiles and ranks its independent test data, identifying the industry’s leading PV module manufacturers and technologies. The report also highlights industry trends and features a section on "Evaluating Large-Format Modules" (LFM). The list of LFM benefits include a significant increase in power, lower production costs at a manufacturing level, lower in-field labor costs, and potential BOS savings. Additionally, the report advises that not all large format modules are created equal, with some modules having the same glass thickness as its predecessors. RETC’s hail durability test indicates that modules with thicker front-side glass are more resilient to large-diameter hail stones. JinkoSolar’s modules are manufactured with 3.2mm front side glass, and is proven to withstand 55mm hailstones at 34m/s according to RETC’s test data.

Leave a comment

– EY also honors His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales of the United Kingdom with inaugural Social Entrepreneurship Award

LONDON, June 11, 2021 — JungJin SEO, Honorary Chairman of South Korea-based Celltrion Group, was this evening named EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™ 2021 during a virtual awards ceremony broadcast live around the world. JungJin was picked from among 45 award winners from 38 countries and territories competing for the global award. He is the first winner from South Korea in the award’s 21-year history.


JungJin, 63, founded Celltrion, a biopharmaceutical firm, in 2003 with only US$45,000. In the nearly 20 years since its founding, Celltrion has lived up to its ambition to advance health and welfare for all by developing groundbreaking drugs to treat autoimmune diseases, different forms of cancer and, most recently, COVID-19. The company, which JungJin started with five of his colleagues, has grown to more than 2,100 employees with sales permits in more than 90 countries and revenues exceeding US$1.69b.

His Royal Highness (HRH) The Prince of Wales first recipient of the EY Social Entrepreneurship Award

This evening, EY also honored HRH The Prince of Wales, of the United Kingdom, with an inaugural EY Social Entrepreneurship Award. This award was given in recognition of the tremendous social value created by The Prince of Wales’ leading initiatives, including The Prince’s Trust and Business in the Community, the exciting progress of the bold, global Sustainable Markets Initiative and this year’s unveiling of the Terra Carta, which provides a road map toward putting nature, people and planet at the heart of global value creation over the next decade. The new award will remain an annual feature and was established to recognize leaders who are focused on creating a purposeful business in society.

Carmine Di Sibio, EY Global Chairman and CEO, says:

"After a year of incredible challenges, I’m excited to be able to recognize these two remarkable individuals for their contributions to society. Throughout his life, His Royal Highness has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to building a better world and I couldn’t envision a more worthy honoree for the inaugural EY Social Entrepreneurship Award.

"Likewise, JungJin SEO has spent his career representing everything an unstoppable entrepreneur should be. From taking on the world’s biggest health care challenges to consistently creating long-term value for his company, JungJin is a model EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year winner. Congratulations to both on their worthy distinctions."

Rosaleen Blair CBE, Founder and Chair of AMS, and Chair of the EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year judging panel, says:

"The judging panel is honored to award JungJin with this prestigious title and recognize him following one of the most trying years the world has ever seen. The panel was moved by his incredible journey and his purpose-driven leadership, innovative mindset and entrepreneurial spirit are the embodiment of an unstoppable entrepreneur."

JungJin SEO, Honorary Chairman, Celltrion Group, says:

"Entrepreneurship to me has always been about bringing together a group of people toward a common vision, embracing challenges as opportunities and committing oneself to contribute to the greater good. When I first started, my vision was to help patients gain access to safe, effective and affordable medicines and thereby enhance the quality of people’s lives. The success of Celltrion has enabled me to expand on this while finding new ways to fuel my entrepreneurial drive. I am humbled and honored to join the prestigious group of EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year winners who came before me and I intend to use this wonderful platform to continue to make this world a better place for future generations."

Stasia Mitchell, EY Global Entrepreneurship Leader, says:

"JungJin’s story is one of incredible tenacity and perseverance. He’s taken breathtaking risks, both personal and professional, to found Celltrion and grow it into one of the world’s leading biopharmaceutical companies. His passion for creating affordable, life-saving health care and flair for tackling global problems has led to many treatments that have helped millions of people worldwide and was especially evident this past year through the creation of a COVID-19 antibody treatment. Above all, JungJin’s story is a shining example of the power of an unstoppable entrepreneur to change the world."

About JungJin SEO, Honorary Chairman of Celltrion Group

JungJin’s entrepreneurial journey started at an early age when he worked as a taxi driver to get himself through Konkuk University in Seoul, South Korea. After studying industrial engineering, he rose through the ranks of Daewoo Motor Co. until he suddenly lost his job amid the automaker’s financial troubles following the 1997 Asian economic crisis.

In the years that followed, JungJin would collaborate with colleagues to explore business opportunities in numerous industries, many of which seemed promising at the time but failed to deliver lasting success. Finally, after attending a discussion hosted by several renowned scholars, he decided to focus on the biopharmaceutical sector, believing that it had the potential to be the next great growth engine.

With this inspiration in mind, he founded Celltrion with only US$45,000. Despite its humble beginnings, the company would quickly become a leading force in the South Korean pharmaceutical industry. The launch of Remsima, the "world’s first" antibody biosimilar, quickly moved Celltrion up the ranks of the country’s relatively underdeveloped pharmaceutical sector. Celltrion followed this success with the launch of drugs for breast cancer and lymphoma that are now used worldwide.

With a focus on being "the world’s first," Celltrion has pioneered numerous uncharted areas to stellar success over the past two decades. Most recently, it responded to the global pandemic by successfully developing an antibody treatment for COVID-19 and works to ensure a timely supply of the safe and effective treatment.
