To realize our vision, we will continue to strengthen our ability to meet environmental sustainability goals. We will implement programs to improve and safeguard the environment while contributing to ensuring that all services and operations conducted are in an environmentally responsible manner.

In pursuance of these goals, we have adopted the following principles:

1. Compliance
　　We will seek to provide moral leadership by not only complying with the letter of the law, but the spirit of all applicable environmental legislation, standards and regulations, as well as our internal guidelines and procedures in all our operations. We will endeavor to surpass them whenever possible.

2. Pollution Prevention
　　We will implement ISO14001 environmental management systems (EMS) to improve continually the environmental performance of our major facilities. We will avoid, reduce and control environmental pollution arising from our day-to-day working practices. We will require our contractors to adopt and implement sound environmental management systems and pollution control measures, and actively encourage businesses and their organizations to adopt similar systems and measures.

3. Response to Environmental Incidents
　　We will implement an emergency response system for handling environmental incidents, and will be prepared to respond quickly to minimize the damage to the environment.

4. Minimization of Consumption
　　We aim to plan and provide convenient and cost-effective waste management facilities, as well as promote a sustainable approach to waste management, in which we consume less, produce less waste, and reuse or recover value from waste. We will exercise the principles of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle in the consumption of materials and seek continual improvement in the efficient use of natural resources and energy in all our operations.

5. Sustainable Development
　　We will actively contribute to government-wide policies and programs that support sound environmental management and sustainable development. We will work with others and continue to build new partnerships in the pursuance of sustainable development objectives.

6. Communication
　　We aim to promote community awareness, through environmental campaigns, publicity, education and action programs, and public access to environmental information, with a view to harnessing the community's support for, and contribution to, achieving the desired environmental goals.

7. Training
　　We will ensure through appropriate training and professional development, that every member of our staff has the knowledge and competency to assume his/her environmental responsibilities and to participate constructively in environmental activities.

8. Management Review
　　The Management will review this policy and the department's environmental objectives and targets in line with the changing internal and external factors, and seek continual improvement in our environmental performance.
