HAECO Hong Kong’s commitment and contribution to environmental protection has recently received recognition in the industry. The company has won top honours in two leading environmental award programmes, including the Silver Award in the “2016 Hong Kong Awards for Environment Excellence (HKAEE) – Manufacturing and Industrial Services”. HAECO was also named “5 Years+ EcoPioneer Company” in the “2016 BOCHK Corporate Environmental Leadership Awards – Manufacturing Sector”.

The HKAEE is an annual award, which recognises organisations from different sectors that demonstrate environmental management excellence. The 2016 awards received a record high of around 1,400 entries and HAECO Hong Kong was one of just 48 recipients of gold, silver and bronze honours.

Established in 2015, the BOCHK Corporate Environmental Leadership Awards Programme aims to promote eco-friendly practices in the manufacturing and service industries in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta Region.

HAECO Hong Kong is very conscious of its responsibility to the environment and has implemented a range of initiatives to improve energy efficiency and reduce its carbon footprint. Amongst many examples, the replacement of high energy-consuming floodlights with LED floodlights in its hangar areas has resulted in the saving of around 415,000 kWh of electricity annually; while in the office, the use of a “smart printing” system ensures double-sided printing and automatic cancellation of outdated documents, leading to the saving of approximately 1.8 million sheets of A4 paper per year.
