Hon Kwok Land Investment Co., Ltd. (the Group) adopts various environmental protection initiatives and formulating policies in the areas of energy consumption, greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, waste generation, water consumption to manage the Group’s operational footprint.

Renovation project of the Group’s hotel/serviced apartment in Hong Kong have implemented various energy efficiency and waste management measures during construction stage to reduce environmental impact.

Aiming to promote green and sustainable building design with good air and water quality management, we certify our properties with sustainable building standard. Energy-saving appliances and appliances with energy efficiency labels are given priority in our procurement.

The Group adopts waste management practices to encourage waste generation reduction and ease the burden to the environment. Work with the environmental groups and participate in their recycling programs.

We adopt various water management practices and water-saving initiatives to remind employees and other users to avoid unnecessary water consumption.

We aim to reduce our GHG emission intensity, energy consumption intensity, water consumption intensity by 8% by 2030 against year 2022 (1% reduction annually).

• Reuse and recycle including use recycled paper, recycle office supplies (such as cartons, envelopes, folders, stationery etc.).

With sustainability and innovation driving business strategies worldwide, HKTDC will ride on our initial work to ramp up our promotion of sustainability. In addition to making sustainability a top priority on the programmes of all our anchor industry and thematic promotions, we will also raise awareness among the business community on the tangible components of sustainability, especially among SMEs. Through our SME support programme and knowledge hubs, we will help SMEs acquire the basic know-how for sustainable operations.

Our T-box programme will also work with technology companies to provide cost-effective solutions to SMEs for e-commerce, digital marketing and enterprise resource planning to help with their business transformation towards sustainable development.

Meanwhile, as an organisation, we have pledged to adopt green measures to promote more sustainable business practices. To this end, we have laid out a sustainability and carbon reduction plan which covers business and corporate-level initiatives.
