Nominations open for SCMP Live's new 2025 Business Awards to honour corporate leadership

The awards have been reimagined from the DHL-SCMP Business Awards that took a hiatus last year after an uninterrupted 33-year run since 1990. The awards' rules and format have been refreshed to reflect the changing business landscape and priorities of the 21st century. They also address the changing interests of the tens of millions of worldwide readers who rely on the Post to keep them informed and inspired about China's economic transformation and development.
The awards are given out in seven categories. The Business Owner of the Year award is given to an individual who is a business owner or a company founder. The Corporate Executive of the Year honours a non-owner who contributes substantially to corporate success.
Four awards are reserved for outstanding businesses: Company of the Year, SME of the Year for small and mid-sized enterprises, Start-up of the Year for companies in operation for less than five years, and the Globalisation Award that honours companies that successfully spread their brands worldwide.

Taobao's daily on-demand orders soar as China's instant e-commerce war heats up
Alibaba Group Holding is seeing a rapid acceleration in the volume of on-demand delivery transactions, the latest sign of growing rivalry with Meituan and in China's instant e-commerce market. Combined daily orders on Taobao Instant Commerce – the company's latest push into on-demand delivery – and food delivery app reached 80 million, Taobao said on its official WeChat account on Monday. Daily active users on Taobao Instant Commerce surpassed 200 million. Alibaba owns the South China Morning Post. The figures were released a day after Meituan, Alibaba's bigger rival in the on-demand delivery sector, announced it had achieved record orders for its instant delivery service. On Saturday, Meituan said daily transaction volume covering food and retail goods had reached an all-time high of 120 million, briefly crashing its servers in certain areas. The Alibaba figures reflect the rapid progress achieved by Taobao Instant Commerce, which was launched in late April as the company's answer to Meituan's Instashopping and food delivery service. The service reached 10 million daily orders within its first week and 40 million within the first month. A group of Meituan food delivery couriers wait for new orders on March 22, 2025 in Chongqing, China. Transaction volumes have accelerated over the past few weeks as e-commerce players started to offer more discounts and subsidies to boost consumption during the peak summer season. It took the platform nearly a month to grow daily orders from 40 million to 60 million, but just 12 days to gain another 20 million.

4,200 transitional flats earmarked for Hong Kong's displaced subdivided tenants
Hong Kong authorities have said around 4,200 transitional flats can cope with the temporary accommodation needs for tenants displaced under a future regulation that could force 33,000 subpar subdivided homes to undergo significant rectification. Under Secretary for Housing Victor Tai Sheung-shing told the legislature on Monday that the government would set aside up to 20 per cent of its 21,000 transitional homes for tenants affected by a subdivided flat regulation. The regulation will only allow those meeting the official standards to become accredited 'basic housing units' and remain on the rental market. The bill is expected to pass by the end of October and gives time for owners to register from next March, as well as fix their properties by the end of February 2030. Tai said some tenants of the 110,000 existing subdivided flats could look for basic housing units, as only 30 per cent of the current supply would have to undergo large-scale renovation to receive accreditation. He added that some tenants could also be accommodated in the 189,000 public homes to be built in the coming five years. 'We foresee that the market supply of basic housing units will not plunge. Meanwhile, we have a massive supply of public housing and transitional housing. Therefore, we are confident that the supply is sufficient,' said Tai in the legislature's housing panel.
