Promoting a Green Living Style
Change begins with habit building. Green habits can positively affect the environment, the community, and the sense of well-being.
We introduced the “Chinachem X Green Life Challenger” programme to encourage decarbonisation and reward colleagues and friends for their green efforts. In the programme’s first phase, the idea of “Upcycling of Waste” was promoted, and colleagues were encouraged to find ways to reuse or repurpose unwanted or unused goods. Phase 2 of the programme was themed “Energy Saving in Household”; colleagues and their friends are encouraged to reduce electricity consumption at home compared to the same months in the prior year. There was a total of 23 participants coming from the Group and the public.
The “Mat-2-Life Platform” was developed as an online marketplace where colleagues and departments may list surplus items for sale or exchange with one another. This platform also strengthens the bonds among our colleagues.
Furthermore, we backed the Biz-Green Dress Day co-organised by the Construction Industry Council (CIC) and HKGBC, during which colleagues were encouraged to dress lighter to reduce the need for air conditioning.
