Hong Kong's Environmental Protection Department has announced the release of an "Environmental Guide for Smart Business" to facilitate local trades and industries to put green business into action.
"The aim is to provide a clear explanation and consistent interpretation of the regulatory requirements and infrastructure provision on environmental protection, and to facilitate trades and industries in ensuring that their businesses are operated in full compliance or even beyond compliance with the environmental legislation," Principal Environmental Protection Officer Betty Cheung, said.
"To protect the environment, EPD implements environmental policies, provides comprehensive environmental infrastructure and also promotes and enhances the environmental awareness of the community," she said.
The concise guide provides an overview of local environmental legislation and infrastructure in Hong Kong to assist trade and industry to implement appropriate environmental measures during various phases of a business cycle. It also addresses generic environmental legislation and requirements that apply to all trades and industries, as well as providing specific requirements applicable to 11 selected specific trades and industries, prevailing in Hong Kong, that are considered to be more vulnerable to environmental legislation.
