(Hong Kong, 5 June, 2012) – [Premium copy paper brand] Double A is acknowledged a leader in corporate social responsibility (CSR) after garnering the Hong Kong CSR Award 2012 from CAPITAL and Capital Weekly, two leading financial magazines in Hong Kong.

“The Hong Kong CSR Awards 2012 is another recognition of serving as an innovative role model in the industry.

The prestigious award acknowledges Double A’s efforts and best practices in promoting and integrating CSR in its business operations. Double A has long regarded CSR as a crucial part of the company guided through its sustainable business philosophy that revolves around environmental, social and economical responsibility. This philosophy illustrates the overall importance of sustainability for businesses worldwide and points the way for other organizations to follow.
