Sustainability
The Housing Society, from business to daily operations, embraces sustainability as an integral part of our core values, striving to minimise our ecological footprint and utilise resources in a sustainable way. We take due account of the United Nations’ Sustainability Development Goals, a universal blueprint for the continuous peace and prosperity of people and the planet, and considered each goal as we contribute towards a more sustainable city in our unique way.
Through the application of green building principles, such as environmentally sustainable designs and construction methods, we minimise energy consumption, water usage and waste generation, as well as provide a healthy living environment for our home buyers and tenants. In terms of daily operations, the ISO 14001-2015 certified Environmental Management System guides the execution and evaluation of our environmental policies and initiatives across divisions. Different working groups were also established to monitor the performances of our Environmental Management Systems across divisions.
In addition, we have been taking gradual steps to embrace GRI International Standards in the sustainability reporting so as to strengthen the stakeholder engagement and corporate information disclosure. Along the way, we strive to foster operational transparency and accountability through diverse channels of communication to connect with members.

透過應用綠色建築原則(如環境可持續發展設 計及建築方法)，我們盡可能減少能耗、用水 及所產生的廢物，以及為置業人士及租戶提 供健康的居住環境。日常營運方面，經ISO 14001-2015認證的環境管理體系為各部門的 環境政策及措施的執行及評估提供指引。此 外，房協設立不同的工作小組監察各部門的 環境管理體系表現。
此外，我們逐步將可持續發展的工作報告提 升至GRI國際標準，以加強有關的持份者參 與及企業資訊披露。在這一過程中，我們透 過多元資訊渠道增加與委員的聯繫以及企業 運作的透明度和問責性。
