First HKGSA Awards Presentation Ceremony pays tribute to exemplary leaders in green retailFamed as a shopping paradise, retail is one of the most essential industries in the Hong Kong economy. Yet, business operation and consumerism drive water and energy consumption, as well as exploit natural resource and generate municipal solid waste. To strike a balance between economic and environmental sustainability, shopping malls and the retail industry at large shall re-examine their business model and infuse green measures into their daily operation. Promoting green shopping behaviour to the end-consumer is equally important so as to reduce any possible impact to the one-and-only planet.Established in May 2017 by the Hong Kong Green Building Council, the Hong Kong Green Shop Alliance (the Alliance) is funded by the Construction Industry Council and fully supported by the Environment Bureau. The number of Alliance members escalates over the past 18 months. As of November 2018, 24 developers/strategic partners, 137 shopping malls and over 500 shops have joined the Alliance. To recognise inspirational accomplishments of Alliance members towards the sustainable shopping environment, the Alliance presented awards to outstanding members on 18 December, with the presence of Mr CHAN Siu-yum, Kenneth, Assistant Director (Charging Preparation) of the Environmental Protection Department, as the Guest of Honour to celebrate the memorable moment. Over a hundred winners and representatives from developers and strategic partners, shopping malls and shops attended the ceremony, on top of other Alliance supporting organisations and various stakeholders. Ten main categories of award were presented, including “The Leading Partner Award – Developer/Strategic Partner”, “The Leading Partner Award – Chain Store”, “The Power Partner Award – Developer/Strategic Partner”, “The Power Partner Award – Shopping Mall”, “New Alliance Member – Developer/Strategic Partner”, “New Alliance Member – Shopping Mall”, “New Alliance Member – Shop”, “Excellent Shop Award – Service Sector”, “Excellent Shop Award – Catering Sector” and “Excellent Shop Award – Retail Sector”. The ceremony was event-filled with informative green operation booths passing along the latest waste reduction and energy saving solutions. Mr CHAN Siu-yum addressed the audience before presenting the awards to the winners. In his speech, Mr CHAN recognised the concerted efforts and shared commitment of different business stakeholders in pushing forward the green shopping built environment. Representatives from the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department, Environmental Protection Department and Water Supplies Department also spoke at the event to share with the audience practical guidelines and protocols for daily business operation. Awardees were encouraged to apply and adapt what they learnt extensively to achieve operational and managerial excellence.
