Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited (Hactl) — Hong Kong's largest independent air cargo handler — has received a Corporate Innovation Index (CII) Awards certificate.

In a statement, Hactl said through this, it became the only Hong Kong airport community and logistics corporation to receive a Corporate Innovation Index (CII) Awards Certificate, having been ranked among the top 20 constituent companies.

The Corporate Innovation Index — which aims to promote both technological and non-technological aspects of a corporate innovation culture — was established by the  Asia-Pacific Institute of Business (APIB), the executive education arm of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Business School.

Hactl noted that APIB has developed a set of measurement matrices; these were applied to the responses to a highly-detailed questionnaire.

"APIB's standing is underpinned by its customised approach to providing courses to hundreds of companies and business schools, each course tailored to their specific needs in Hong Kong, the region and the world. This experience makes APIB a well-qualified arbiter of corporate innovation," the statement said. 

"We applaud the APIB initiative in launching this exciting project, we are proud to have been invited to participate, and we are particularly delighted that Hactl's long-standing commitment to innovation has earned it a place so high up on the new Index," Cindy Ng, Hactl executive director — Information Services, received the CII Awards Certificate for Hactl said.
