(B) Environmental Management Hierarchy Specialist Environmental Committees Each of the nine specialist environmental committees has a set of common specific responsibilities. Common responsibilities include identifying and developing controls for HA's environmental aspects and then making recommendations, in collaboration with the Environmental Manager, to the HDEC. Each committee also establishes targets and objectives in their specialist areas, considers technological advances to help mitigate environmental aspects as well as advises on training needs and ways to promote environmental awareness. In general, specific responsibilities involve finding ways to increase resource use efficiency, reduce wastage and minimise environmental impacts. Each committee therefore assesses ongoing environmental performance and evaluates the effectiveness of existing controls. As a result, it is the responsibility of each committee to review designs, establish monitoring procedures and explore and evaluate measures which will further mitigate environmental aspects and enhance environmental quality. Differing slightly from the other committees in terms of its specific responsibilities is the Green Community Awareness Committee. This committee's specific responsibilities are to generate, increase participation in and publicise campaigns to educate and promote messages on environmental protection.
