Introduction
The Forum highlights key findings of a research on Stewardship Codes with a special focus of taking care of the grassroot people of Macau. In order to better understand the perception and opinions of the Macau people toward different dimensions of stewardship, three focus group interviews were conducted with school educators, the NGOs/NPOs, and the SMEs. The findings revealed that different groups of stakeholders have different needs but they do demonstrate many commonalities in terms of social needs especially during the difficult times caused by the pandemic. The government is suggested to take the lead in all aspects of stewardship and a comprehensive rethinking of the deep structural problems in the society is urgently called for.
