Star Anise Legal Embraces Racial D&I through being the first 100 EOC Charter Signatory

Hong Kong is “Asia’s World City”, with approximately 8% of its population being non-Chinese. The city has talents from all around the globe, however, employers often fall short when it comes to diversity in the workplace.

Here at Star Anise Legal, we pledge to not only embrace diversity, but employ and engage with people from all different ethnic backgrounds, religions and cultures. Our team currently consists of individuals from Australia, England, India, Pakistan, Taiwan, USA, Canada and Hong Kong, which provides us with rich and distinct experiences, cultures and perspectives.

The Equal Opportunities Commission's ("EOC") Racial Diversity & Inclusion Charter recognized our efforts to make all employees of all races feel accepted and included. This Charter was launched in December 2018 and since then, various companies have joined as signatories.

Star Anise Legal is among the first batch of 150 signatories which includes global companies, law firms and social enterprises. EOC provides guidance to the signatories that formulate and implement policies that foster an inclusive work environment.

Interested signatory parties can visit the EOC's website at https://www.eoc.org.hk/EOC/otherproject/embrace_charter/charterindex.aspx
