We have worked hard to ensure good progress on our
environmental performance. For 2001/2002 we set ourselves more environmental
goals and targets than ever before. In this chapter we show you how
well we met these targets and explain the many ways we have been able
to reduce our impact on the environment. Our achievements are not
ours alone. Our residents, contractors, green groups, charities and
other government departments have all played a role in shaping our
environmental performance.

Our last environmental report included
91 targets for 2001/2002 (double the number set for the previous year).
Of these, we fully met 72 and made substantial progress on a further
11. Due to factors outside our control and some unforeseen complications,
we fell short on 3 of our targets and deferred 5. The details on how
well we met each target is shown in Annex B. By taking on and achieving
more environmental targets than the previous year, we have strengthened
our position as an environmentally responsible organisation.

| Overall compliance with environmental regulations by
our contractors has shown a marked improvement. Over the past year,
contractors on our projects incurred 48 convictions for environmental
offences (or 1 offence for every 839 flats built). Most of these convictions
were for breaches of the Noise Control Ordinance. |
