Hongkong Post - Responsibility to the environment

Hongkong Post is committed to protecting the environment and supporting sustainable development within the community.

All services and operations at Hongkong Post are undertaken by staff in an environmentally responsible manner. ‘Green’ office practices include saving energy and paper, reducing waste and recycling materials. The promotion of environmental awareness is an accepted culture among staff who are aware of the need for efficient, prudent and careful use of resources and energy.

As well as describing the range of environmental measures implemented by Hongkong Post, this Report highlights some of our recent achievements and reaffirms our ‘green’ agenda for the future.

Our Environmental Policy

To ensure that our public offices and working areas are safe and user-friendly for everyone, including customers, visitors, staff and contractors.
To implement effective ‘green housekeeping’ measures that will help us conserve energy and resources, reuse and recycle materials, and cut down on waste.
To increase staff awareness of issues relating to the environment and sustainable living.
To introduce postal products and services that take into account sustainability and environmental protection and which, where possible, enhance public awareness and appreciation of the natural environment.

Our environmental policy was first launched in 1999 and was later updated in 2006. Since then, we have put in place programmes designed to reduce the impact of our activities on the environment by lowering consumption, recycling waste, and cutting down on our use of resources. In the year under review, we fully complied with all HKSAR Government environmental policies and regulations relating to these areas.
