Welcome to
the Green Council website!
This website keeps you updated
of the ongoing initiatives and
accomplishments of the Green
Council, which is a Hong Kong
based non-profit, non-partisan
environmental organization that:
| (i) |
encourages and assists
the industrial and commercial
sectors to include environmental
protection in their production
and management processes;
and |
| (ii) |
promotes and provides public
environmental education. |
As stated in our motto -- ¡§Conservation
Begins With Education¡¨ -- Green
Council believes that introducing
and enhancing environmental awareness
and consideration is a key to
protecting the environment. In
this regard, we focus on the
following six main areas:
- Providing
environmental education and
training
- Encouraging green procurement
(i.e. product/service selection
and purchasing)
- Promoting green (i.e.
environmental and sustainable)
management
concepts and practices
- Encouraging re-use and
waste avoidance/reduction/recycling
- Encouraging energy
conservation and promoting
renewable
energy alternatives
- Promoting sustainable
development, production
and consumption
Our work involves varying degrees
and types of interactions with
industries, governments, retailers
and suppliers, procurers, academics,
international partners and audiences,
and the general public. With
the aid of complementary training
programs initiatives and special
projects run by Green Council,
our goal is to bring about informed,
appropriate and positive changes
in attitudes, decisions, actions
and behaviors.
As the Chief Executive Officer
of the Green Council, I am confident
that with the support and contributions
of Green Council members and
our various domestic and international
partners, we can help transform
Hong Kong into Asia¡¦s green and
sustainable World City.
I hope you find our initiatives
interesting and worthwhile, and
that you will join us in protecting
and better managing the environment.
Best regards,
Ms
Linda W P Ho
Chief Executive Officer
Green Council
