The Environmental Campaign Committee (ECC) held the Hong Kong Awards for Environmental Excellence (HKAEE) Presentation Ceremony today (January 16) at the Data Technology Hub, Tseung Kwan O InnoPark, to recognise companies, organisations and schools with outstanding contributions to environmental protection in 2024.
The Chief Executive, Mr John Lee, commended the winning organisations in a video speech at the ceremony for integrating environmental concepts into their daily operations, injecting green momentum into Hong Kong's high-quality development. Mr Lee said that the Government will continue to enhance environmental management and support green transformations in full force, including promoting the development of the new energy industry, building a demonstration base for green technology, and continuously optimising the community recycling services and facilities. The Government will keep working alongside various sectors to promote low-carbon development and jointly create more green opportunities for Hong Kong.
The officiating guests of the ceremony included the Secretary for Environment and Ecology, Mr Tse Chin-wan; the Chairman of the Environment and Conservation Fund (ECF) Committee, Dr Eric Cheng; the Chairperson of the ECC, Ms Grace Kwok; the Vice Chairman of the ECC, Mr Wong Chi-keung; and the Chairman of the Awards Committee on the HKAEE, Dr Barry Lee.
The HKAEE commends organisations that have demonstrated outstanding environmental performance in 16 different sectors under three judging criteria, namely green leadership, programme and performance, as well as partner synergy. After two rounds of assessment by technical consultants, participants were assessed by the final adjudicating panels comprising representatives from the ECC and major chambers of different sectors in Hong Kong for the selection of the gold, silver and bronze winners. A total of 3 999 entries competed for the 2024 HKAEE, setting a new record for the number of participating organisations. A total of 54 organisations won gold, silver or bronze awards, and 183 received certificates of merit this year.
On the same day, the 2024 Hong Kong Green Innovations Awards were also presented to encourage local organisations to address environmental challenges with innovative green solutions and achieve environmental benefits. A total of 69 competing entries were assessed under three assessment criteria including level of innovation, environmental achievements, as well as practicability and contribution to society.
In addition, to commend managerial level and employees for their dedication to enhancing the environmental performance of their companies and to the community, a Most Outstanding Green Achiever, four Outstanding Green Achievers, and five Green Achievers were selected. Twenty-four organisations were also honoured as Outstanding HKAEE Promotional Partners, and 22 organisations were recognised as Excellent HKAEE Promotional Partners.
