The HKCSS collaborated with The Hong Kong Trade Development Council in organising the said seminar in the SME World EXPO (16-18 November 2004). It aimed at arousing the interest of SMEs regarding the fundamentals of corporate citizenship, and how SMEs could participate in the community without the need to invest too many human and financial resources. The Caring Company Scheme was offered a booth to exhibit its details to the visitors during the EXPO.

In 2004, the Caring Company Scheme promoted itself to the general public and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). A seminar on the subject was held in September 2004 to introduce how large corporations and small enterprises actively participate in the community with their unique industry competencies, and how social service organizations could help build a WIN-WIN-WIN approach in the partnership. Over 200 SMEs have participated in the seminar.
