I wish to take the opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude to our customers as well as our government and business partners for their continued and unwavering support."
Established in 1991, the HKMA Quality Award aims to promote quality management in Hong Kong by recognising organisations that exemplify exceptional standards through sustained commitment and well-established processes. The award evaluation criteria encompass seven key areas: leadership, strategy, customer focus, measurement and analysis, knowledge management, workforce engagement, operations, and results.
Upon a highly-detailed submission and thorough judging process, HKMA commended Octopus for embracing a clear definition of Vision, Mission and Core Values (VMV), with a robust communication and governance framework to effectively convey the corporate values and mission at all levels. Octopus was further recognised for making significant efforts in offering fair treatment to various customer groups, including the elderly, the disabled and students, facilitating ease in their usage of products and services. Providing access and support on both consumer and merchant fronts while enhancing the overall user experience showcased Octopus' dedication to continuous improvement and a proactive approach to meeting the evolving needs of people from all – going beyond mere business and financial metrics.
