Efficient Water Consumption To demonstrate our unwavering commitment to resource optimization, we have a 10-year target for water use reduction. Food waste in Hong Kong is excessive. Since 2018, we have supported the government’s A Food Waste & Yard Waste Plan for Hong Kong 2014-2022. To tackle the issue in our operations, we: • Encourage customers, residents and tenants to separate and recycle food waste • Encourage food-and-beverage tenants to divert food waste from landfills to the Organic Resources Recovery Centre for treatment • Host courses that raise awareness about responsible waste management among food-and-beverage tenants • Have installed food waste machines at 43 of our commercial and residential properties, collecting a total of 2,500 kg every day • Collaborate with NGOs to upcycle food waste from our tenants. The waste is recycled into animal feed • Participate in the Recycling Fund’s ‘Solicitation Theme: Supporting Residential Buildings in Adopting Smart Bins Technology’ to enhance the efficiency of food waste collection • Participate in the Environmental Protection Department’s Pilot Scheme on Food Waste Collection 0.71 0.75 0.69 0.69 8 The reduction was mainly contributed by the implementation of water-saving measures at our EOC-monitored buildings, and also lower occupancy in our properties during the pandemic in 2022.
