The ninth presentation ceremony for the Scheme was held in Hong Kong on 27 October, 2017. This year, a total of 184 enterprises were commended as Hong Kong-Guangdong Cleaner Production Partners to recognise their efforts in pursuing cleaner production. Of these, 87 and 79 Hong Kong-owned manufacturing enterprises were commended as Excellent Partners and Partners respectively. Other commended enterprises included two sourcing enterprises and 16 environmental technology service providers.
Officiating at today's ceremony were the Secretary for the Environment of the HKSAR, Mr Wong Kam-sing; the Director-General of the Department of Energy Conservation and Resources Utilization of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Mr Gao Yunhu; and the Vice Director-General of GDDIIT, Mr He Rong. Also present were over 200 representatives from the Hong Kong and the Guangdong governments, as well as members of trades and industries and enterprises of both places.
Hong Kong and Guangdong have been jointly promoting cleaner production to tackle environmental pollution in the region. By adopting cleaner production, enterprises can improve their environmental performance and reduce pollutant emissions in addition to increasing their economic benefits through savings in energy consumption and waste reduction.
