Environmental Management Structure
The Housing Department Environmental, Health and Safety Committee (HDEHSC) is tasked with the development and formulation of policy direction on environmental, health, safety and sustainability aspects within the HD. The Housing Department Environmental Sub-Committee (HDESC) is to oversee the progress and performance of environmental initiatives and action plans, with support from the Environmental Management Unit.


Management Approaches and Policies
To govern our operations with clear direction on sustainability commitment and approaches, we have formulated the Environmental Policy, Environmentally Responsible Procurement Policy, and Energy Policies, and adopted a series of environmental principles, which have been communicated to and are supported by our stakeholders, including our staff, service providers, material suppliers and contractors.
