Implementation of Policy
CAD has two committees, which are the Aircraft Noise Technical Committee and Environmental Management Committee, to formulate and implement environmental measures.
Aircraft Noise Technical Committee for Managing Noise Issues
The Aircraft Noise Technical Committee was formed in 1999. Chaired by the Deputy Director-General of CAD, the Committee comprises members from the Environmental Protection Department and the Airport Authority Hong Kong. Together, we address aircraft noise issues arising from the operations of the Hong Kong International Airport and consider possible measures to minimize the impact of aircraft noise. To achieve our goal, we adopt a systematic Review-Plan-Implement-Check Cycle (Figure 3) in our decision-making process.
Environmental Management Committee for Housekeeping
CAD established the Environmental Management Committee in 1999 to devise practical measures to implement our green policy (Figure 4).
Environmental Management Committee
At the end of the year, the Environmental Management Committee would determine CAD's green office targets for the coming year in respect of reducing energy and paper consumptions, preventing pollution and recycling recyclable wastes.
Throughout the year, green managers would continuously monitor their offices to ensure targets could be met by the year-end and make interim reports on their offices' performance to the Committee. If necessary, the Committee could implement corrective actions.
To foster an environment of eco-thinking, CAD would periodically brief our staff about our green measures and arrange seminars and activities.
