| We are in the business of planning, building and managing
public housing and associated amenities (such as shopping centres)
in Hong Kong. The way we do this has a considerable influence on the
living environment since almost half of the Hong Kong population live
in homes rented or bought from us. For this reason, we are continually
strengthening the way we handle the environmental aspects of our activities.
This is demonstrated by further enhancements to the structure and
functioning of our Environmental Management System (EMS) over the
past year. |
| As at 31st March 2002, 594 800 households (27.3% of Hong Kong's families) lived in our public rental housing estates. Another 261 700 families (12.4%) resided in homes purchased through our various subsidised home ownership schemes. On the same date, our housing stock comprised 996 200 flats. It also included 1.45 million m2 of commercial premises, 96 400 carpark spaces and recreational facilities such as tennis courts. In the past year we produced 40 250 flats mostly for Public Rental Housing. Our work was carried out by our 11 800 staff. |
