ceremony.
O
OCL is proud to have received the 2017 Hong
Kong Awards for Environmental Excellence
(HKAEE) Gold Award in the Transport and
Logistics Sector category at a ceremony held
at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition
Centre on 4 May, 2018. Recognized by the
community as one of the most prestigious
and reputable environmental award schemes
in Hong Kong, the HKAEE encourages
businesses and organizations to embrace
green management and innovation with the opportunity to benchmark
their environmental performance and commitments towards best
practices within their sectors.
When OOCL first participated in the HKAEE Award and won the Gold
standing in 2012, it was a tremendous encouragement for us to continue
building on our environmental initiatives over the years. According to the
HKAEE rules, a Gold recipient cannot participate in the awards program the
following year, but to show our commitment and consistent performance
in our environmental initiatives, OOCL participated in the awards program
in 2014 to receive our second Gold and we are very honored by this latest
win, which is a testimony of our long-standing support and leadership for
sustainable development in the industry.
For the first time in the awards program, and in addition to the HKAEE
Gold Award, a new “Outstanding Green Leadership Award” was intro-
duced this year to recognize ten top performers demonstrating excellent
performance in the aspect of green leadership. From over 1,600 eligible
applicants in 15 industry sectors, OOCL is very proud to be one of the first
recipients of this award.
Reflecting on our achievement from receiving the HKAEE Gold Award
from the Honorable Mrs. Carrie Lam, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong
Special Administrative Region, OOCL Director of Trades Mr. Stephen Ng
20
HKAEE Gold Award
said: “As a global carrier with our roots deep in Hong Kong, OOCL is very
pleased to be acknowledged for our commitment and performance in
sustainable development and improving the environment in our city by
achieving this Gold standing. This is certainly a huge encouragement for
us to do even better, growing our business responsibly to ensure long term
sustainability and achieving higher levels of operational excellence.”
Over the years, OOCL has consistently outperformed many
international requirements and industry standards by proactively taking
on a leadership role in implementing many important initiatives to address
global environmental challenges. They include green investment on our
assets, development of green IT solutions, Greenhouse Gas management,
and participation in global environmental initiatives, contributing to the
success and development of our environmental sustainability profile.
As a responsible and committed member of the international
community, OOCL will continue to strive for further improvements in all
aspects of our business for a greener future in the generations to come.
