Our Environmental Responsibility

Hongkong Post is committed to implementing environmental protection initiatives together with effective monitoring measures in its daily postal related activities, so as to help improve the environment and ensure sustainable development within the community.

In conducting our business of providing excellence in postal services, we try to ensure that our services and operations are conducted in an environmentally-friendly and responsible manner, and that our resources are used economically and effectively. We also endeavour to promote this awareness among our staff, customers, business partners and suppliers from the initial stages of planning and procurement through to service delivery.

This environmental report outlines our intentions, shares our progress and shows our accountability. It covers measures taken and achievements made by Hongkong Post in green management and reaffirms our green focus for the future.

Our Environmental Policy is:

To ensure environmental sustainability, user-friendliness and safety in our public offices and workplaces for all users, including our customers, visitors, staff and contractors
To implement effective green housekeeping measures, including those for energy and resource conservation, reuse of materials and waste minimisation, as well as for waste recovery for recycling
To increase staff awareness of environmental and sustainability issues
To introduce postal products and services that incorporate the concepts of environmental protection, sustainability and environmentally preferable purchasing, as well as serve the purposes of environmental promotion and awareness enhancement, where opportunities arise

Our environmental policy was inaugurated in 1999. Since then, we have done our best to ensure that our services and operations are conducted in an environmentally-friendly and responsible manner. In the year under review, we fully complied with government environmental regulations, and proactively encouraged waste minimisation, energy conservation and recycling.
