| Our environment is a shared asset for all of us and
as such deserves our committed efforts to safeguard it. In this respect,
I believe we must press ahead with ways to further limit our environmental
impacts and help Hong Kong move towards a more sustainable future.
We must therefore also find and use opportunities to get others to
join us in taking a bigger role in environmental protection. With
the continued dedication and support from our tenants, business partners,
staff and many stakeholders (including Green Groups), our steady progress
is already building momentum with tangible and significant benefit
to the environment. I am pleased with the solid progress we have made
over the past few years and am confident that through the many initiatives
set out in this report, our environmental performance will continue
to improve. In particular, I am certain that once we fully implement our Environmental Procurement Policy, not only will we improve our own environmental performance, but also that of our service providers in all the work they do. I can also see that the environmental benefits from incorporating more and more environmental measures into our building designs will continue to accumulate for years to come. I look forward to exploring ways for continually improving our environment. |
