Eximius Hong Kong is delighted to support Suits for Success in the third year of this highly successful charitable initiative.
Suits for Success was founded in 2014 by Women in Finance Asia to give underprivileged young adults in Hong Kong access to affordable business attire. Attire to give them the confidence to attend interviews, join intern and graduate programmes or enter the workplace for the first time. The initiative is also generously supported by Friends of the Earth (HK), Project Share Hong Kong, the Pure Group and Uber.
This year’s professional clothing collection event is being held from Monday 7th to Friday 11th March. Unwanted business clothing and accessories can be donated at Pure Fitness and Pure Yoga across Hong Kong. In addition, Suits for Success is working with companies within the legal and financial sectors to support in-house donations. This year’s partners currently stand at over 30 corporates including: Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank, Standard Chartered, Citi Group, CAPCO, Macquarie, Mitsubishi UFJ Securities, Nomura, KPMG, Maples and Calder, Clifford Chance and FTI Consulting.
Buying a new suit, trousers, dress or shoes is a luxury many young budding professionals cannot afford. Suits for Success distributes kindly donating clothing to deserving young adults and runs workshops on how to dress for success. The 2015 event was an overwhelming success, with 400 bags of clothing collected and made available to young professionals at Project Share offices.
