environmental legislation and regulations. |
|
To address environmental concerns and incorporate
environmental initiatives in planning and design, construction and
demolition, marketing and estate management activities. |
|
To minimise environmental impacts (air, dust, noise,
waste and water) to residents and public from the Housing Authority's
operations. |
|
To develop procurement policies to minimise the use
of resources and achieve cost effectiveness. |
|
To promote environmental awareness and participation
among staff, residents and contractors through education and publicity
programmes. |
|
To review and seek continual improvement on the implementation
of an environmental management system. |
As from July 2002, the Permanent Secretary for Housing,
