Environmental Report

Our Environmental Responsibility

Hongkong Post is committed to help protect the environment and support sustainable development within the community. We are keen to ensure that our services and internal operations are conducted in an environmentally responsible manner. We promote environmental awareness among our staff with a view to harnessing their support in the efficient and prudent use of resources and energy in all of our operations.

This Environmental Report outlines our intentions and shares the details of the progress we have made. It covers the measures Hongkong Post has taken, highlights our achievements and reaffirms our “green” agenda 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 implemented a number of programmes that not only reduce consumption of resources and recycle waste, but also encourage strategies for using resources with a reduced environmental impact. In the year under review, we have fully complied with government environmental policy and regulations relating to resource minimisation, energy conservation and waste recycling.
