6.1 Our Approach
The Group’s Corporate HSE Policy contributes to the framework for identifying key environmental
impacts and developing environmental objectives and green key performance indicators, clarifying what
we need to do to manage the impact of our operations responsibly. Under this robust environmental
governance, we are able to address stakeholders’ concerns about our environmental impact.
Furthermore, we urge our employees to apply our “5Rs” principle – Replace, Reduce, Reuse, Recover,
Recycle – to all our operations, products and services.
Our Corporate Environmental Manual sets out the environmental legislation, necessary policies, internal
standards, procedures and guidelines and methods for protecting the environment. We abide by all legal
requirements and strictly follow the HSE policy to protect the environment and minimise our impact on it.
