Feedback Form

We have been producing an Environmental Report on an annual basis since 2000. This Environmental Report "Our Environment - A Shared Responsibility" is the Housing Authority's third. In this report, we explain our environmental performance over the period from 1st April 2001 to 31st March 2002 and our future initiatives. We believe that this report is a valuable way for us to communicate with our many stakeholders on the environmental issues concerning our operations.

This report is intended for a wide target audience, primarily tenants and home owners in our housing estates, our business partners, our staff and many other stakeholder groups. Our stakeholders include green groups, legislators, other government departments, the media and educational institutions. We recognise the importance of support and contributions from our stakeholders and the role we play in helping and encouraging stakeholders to meet the shared environmental challenge.

We are grateful to all those who provided feedback on our last report "Greener Housing for the Millennium" issued last year. As far as possible, we have taken on board the comments received (summarised in Annex A). Even though the feedback on the last report was very positive, we still aim to continuously improve the quality and relevance of our environmental reporting. Your feedback on this report is therefore welcomed and a form for your use is provided inside the back cover. Your feedback is important to us to ensure we strike the right balance between the information needs of our various stakeholders.
