Event Summary / 活动概况

In today’s tense geopolitical world, Chinese businesses and Australian ‘compradors’ are reassessing their ‘social license to operate’ (SLO).

A SLO is the public’s acceptance of the operating practices of a business. It’s not a regulatory requirement but an ethical one.

Its beating heart is based on legitimacy, trust and credibility.

And this heart is shaped by giving back to the community and a civic spirit…in a word, philanthropy.

But it is also shaped by history, by current affairs and by mainstream and social media, KOLs (key opinion leaders), and the geopolitical agendas of state actors.

This event explores the current status of China’s SLO and the role of philanthropy, “the love of humanity” (as distinct from charity), in shaping its beating heart.

To be discussed:

  1. The nature of philanthropy vs charity. History and culture in the East and West
  2. Chinese SLO in Australia – current assessment and outlook
  3. Defining charitable work/ identifying philanthropic causes
  4. Impact investment – objective, impact on society, return on investment
  5. Does philanthropy earn you a ‘Social license’
  6. Risks in politicising philanthropy
  7. Benchmarking the effectiveness of your SLO, philanthropy and impact investing
  8. Tax and other issues when establishing a charitable foundation
  9. To give is to receive. Legacy, love and life.

Samuel B. Hordern

Samuel B. Hordern

7th generation descendent of the prominent Hordern family

Samuel B. Hordern is the 7th generation descendent of the prominent Hordern family who came to Australia in 1825 pioneering the early retail industry with the formation of Anthony Hordern and sons. Eventually spanning 21 hectares, it was once the largest department store in the world.

The family expanded in agriculture, finance, fashion, sport and politics and its prominence in Sydney is seen through the naming of the Hordern Pavilion, Hordern beach, Hordern Oval at Cranbrook School among many others.

The Hordern family have also been benefactors for many philanthropic and community minded endeavours. These include being founders of the private schools Cranbrook and Kambala, running the Royal Agricultural Society for many decades and being the founders of the Australian Equestrian Association to name a few. Not widely known is the family’s philanthropic funding of the Mawson expedition to Antarctica more than a century ago. Mawson subsequently named Cape Hordern and Mount Hordern in Antarctica after the family.

Today, Samuel B. Hordern is active in the family’s philanthropic work in a wide range of sectors which will be discussed at the event

Sam is also a film maker and is involved in the Aus-China film sector building industry to industry relationships between the two countries.
