CHAMBER PROGRAMMES
December 2001 Issue  Clean Production Awards HKGCC and the Hong Kong Productivity Council recently completed a two-year project to promote the concept of cleaner production to SMEs Fourteen small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were awarded certificates of participation for the Clean Production Programme at an awards ceremony held on October 31. Organized by HKGCC and the Hong Kong Productivity Council (HKPC), with funding from the Innovation and Technology Fund of the HKSAR Government, the programme aimed to encourage and motivate SMEs to adopt cleaner production practices to improve the environment, and at the same time reduce their operational costs. Cleaner production practices are increasingly being used internationally as an effective method to improve operational efficiency and reduce pollution, but its application in Hong Kong seems to be confined to large enterprises at present. The Chamber and the HKPC therefore initiated the project in late 1999 to promote the concept of cleaner production to SMEs through the guidance of four mentor firms -- Carven Circuits Limited, Green Island Cement (Holdings) Limited, Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company Limited and Philips Electronics H.K. Ltd. -- BCU Audio.
Members interested in obtaining a free CD-ROM containing the value-added supply chain model for cleaner production, produced by the organisers, can call Thinex Shek at 2823-1270, or email thinex@chamber.org.hk. |
