Winson Holdings Hong Kong

As a socially-responsible corporation, the Group places the same degree of importance on the maintenance of environmental sustainability. The Group has also extended this principle to all levels of enterprise management; to ensure a sustainable future for the Group's development.

As a business providing environmental hygiene and related services, it is the Group's target to keep the city clean and green. The Group is aware of the impacts on the natural environment caused by its businesses so we strive to protect our environment during our operation and service provision. We are dedicated to adopting an effective environmental management system, as well as carrying out an assortment of measures with respect to emission control, waste management and resources conservation in an effort to help shape a green city.

To further promote green office operation, the Group encourages our staff to have potted plants at office for greening the environment as well as improving indoor air quality. Besides, the Group rents lush indoor plants and place them in the public office areas with the aim of creating a healthier workplace for everyone.

Environmental Management System

To achieve green management, the Group has adopted an environmental management system and is certified to ISO 14001. The Environmental Protection Committee (“EPC”), which serves to oversee the environmental management of the Group and maintain close collaborations with green groups and chambers of commerce, continues to ensure that the management system operates effectively while promoting sustainable development within the Group. Under the guidance of EPC, potential negative environmental impacts during operation are continuously assessed so that corresponding solutions can be implemented. For instance, we advocate the use of cleaning procedures and equipment with lower level of harmful chemicals in detergent and pesticides to avoid detrimental impacts on the environment, and we also carry out waste sorting for our clients for recycling.

Wastewater and Air Emission

Detergents are frequently used during the provision of our hygiene services, which are therefore the major source of wastewater discharge of the Group. By sticking to local laws and regulations such as Water Pollution Control Ordinance and Waterworks Ordinance, wastewater generated by our services is discharged into the municipal sewage system. Our on-site employees are required to follow standard water pollution control procedures such as the dilution of wastewater before discharge in a bid to minimize relevant impacts.

In regard to air emission, our fleet vehicles, which include trucks and private cars owned by the Group to support its environmental hygiene and related services, are the main source of air emission of the Group. The Group strictly complies with relevant laws and regulations such as Air Pollution Control Ordinance and Ozone Layer Protection Ordinance for proper emission management.

Waste Management

In addition to wastewater and air emission, proper waste management is also a core part of our green management. Office operation is always essential in supporting the main business of the Group.To appropriately handle the waste generated, the Group strictly conforms to the laws and regulations regarding waste management such as the Waste Disposal Ordinance, and works with a qualified waste collection company so as to ensure both the non-hazardous and hazardous waste are treated properly. In an effort to cut down on waste, we encourage our office staff to use reusable and recyclable appliances such as bottles, cups, chinaware, rechargeable batteries and other equipment.
