Project CLEAN AIR

Over the years, the high level of Air Pollution Index has led to growing concern among the general public, tourists and investors.  To help combat air pollution, the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce and the Hong Kong Business Coalition on the Environment are leading a Hong Kong business sector effort - the Project CLEAN AIR - to improve air quality in the Greater Pearl River Delta. The focal point of the project is the Clean Air Charter, which is supported by a series of promotional activities.>>>
