AS HONG KONG'S only aviation service company, maintaining and keeping many of the worlds most sophisticated aircraft flying efficiently and safely provides the Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Co (Haeco) with plenty of exciting challenges, including overcoming potentially environmentally damaging processes.
Haeco environmental protection and industrial safety manager Matthew Tang said that as part of the Swire Group, Haeco took its environmental responsibilities seriously.
'We recognise we have a duty to our customers, our staff and shareholders, and to the community in which we do business, to continually strive to improve our performance. However, we recognise that simply measuring our performance against legislation is not enough and finding new ways to do better has become a priority for Haeco.'
Winning an Environmental Performance Certificate of Merit is the most recent endorsement of the company's efforts to outperform statutory environmental regulations. The company recently received an award for its environmental performance from watchdogs within the aviation industry.
'Winning awards is a huge motivation boost but more importantly it is recognition of all Haeco employees for their efforts to make a valuable difference,' Mr Tang said.
Away from the workplace, he hoped the firm's 3,500 employees were ambassadors for protecting the environment.
