Towngas plays an important
role in lowering carbon
intensity and furthering its
commitment to combating

•
Towngas should have a
deeper involvement in
diversity in the workplace.
Also, Towngas should invest
in developing the skills
and professionalism of our
differently abled staff to give
them an equal opportunity
to be considered for more
senior-level positions
•
We adopt innovative approaches
across our operations to reduce
carbon emissions. In 2016, we
further extended our Carbon
Reduction Competition to cover
operations in Hong Kong

Towngas continues to perform
well in diversity and inclusion. A
highlight of our efforts to promote
an inclusive working environment
is the way we engage staff to help
develop skills and awareness
about working with differently
abled colleagues. Towngas has
employed differently abled staff
since the 1990s and has enhanced
recruitment efforts in recent years.
Regardless of sex, race, colour,
ethnic origin, religion, marital
status or physical handicap, our
Equal Employment Opportunity
Policy emphasises recruiting and
promoting based on getting the
best people for the job
