Environmental Responsibility

Hongkong Post is committed to carrying out all its operations in an environmentally responsible manner.

As a provider of efficient and reliable postal services, we vigorously adopt green practices across all our operations. These practices cover the three Rs, i.e. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. All Hongkong Post staff embrace a culture of environmental conservation and observe the principle of efficient and prudent use of energy and resources.

This report sets out the environmental measures implemented by Hongkong Post in 2013/14, highlights our achievements and reaffirms our green agenda for the future.

Our Environmental Policy

In reflection of our responsibility to protect the environment and support sustainable development, we are committed to: -

• implementing effective “green housekeeping” measures that will help us conserve energy and resources, reuse and recycle materials, and minimise waste;
• ensuring environmental sustainability, user-friendliness and safety in our service provision points and workplaces for all users, including our customers, visitors, staff and contractors;
• enhancing staff awareness of issues relating to the environment and sustainable living; and
• introducing postal products and services that take sustainability and environmental protection considerations into account and, where possible, enhancing public awareness and appreciation of the natural environment.
