Hong Kong Christian Industrial Committee

Hong Kong Christian Industrial Committee

The Hong Kong Christian Industrial Committee (CIC) (Chinese: 香港基督教工業委員會) is a non-governmental pressure group that focuses on labor welfare policy and industrial safety. The group was founded in 1966 as an auxiliary organization of the Hong Kong Christian Council. Its predecessor was the Christian Industrial Evangelism Committee, which was a study group formed in 1961. Its special focus in 2001 was on the working conditions of toy workers for Hasbro, Mattel, McDonald's and Disney in Southern China. Since then the group has not published any more recent content on its website.
