As a responsible corporate citizen, leading global quality provider Intertek is committed to building its Corporate Social Responsibility program with the aim of creating a sustainable future for people and the planet.

Intertek Hong Kong has been sponsoring the leading fashion brands Kate Spade New York, Jack Spade and Kate Spade Saturday on a program that supports a group of more than 150 artisans in Masoro, Rwanda whose skills have become the foundation of a new business that is reshaping the community's quality of life.
