Foreword |
As a responsible corporate citizen however, we believe that providing quality services is just one element in the total quality equation. Quality services contribute to the quality of life we all enjoy in Hong Kong and maintaining that quality of life is a responsibility that we take very seriously indeed. A major factor in ensuring this quality of life is the need to conserve and sustain a green environment. EMSD participated in one of the pioneering environmental audits carried out by the Government in 1994. Since then, we have implemented our own programme of environmental audits, covering over 100 locations, and a Green Manager Scheme. We aim to attain ISO 14001 certification within 2000 based on an Environmental Management System, which apart from protecting, conserving and improving the environment also aims to minimise any negative impact to the natural habitat as we carry out our daily business. This report provides an overview of our activities and programmes in
caring for the environment, in the effort to sustain the quality of life in Hong Kong. We
hope that an understanding of these activities will generate an increased appreciation of
the work that we do and the efforts made in protecting our environment. At the same time
we aim to promote a greater sense of responsibility not only among our staff as they carry
out their daily duties, but also among our customers as well as the people of Hong Kong.
In the new millennium, we all need to work together to ensure the sustainable development
of our society. |
