Caring for the Environment
Environmental management is core to SOCAM’s business strategy and practices. Shui On has for many years been a first adopter of new methodologies that bring about a measurable improvement in conservation of energy and natural resources, waste management and emissions reduction. As a major construction company in Hong Kong, we continued to seek ways to further minimise the environmental impact of all our operations, across all disciplines.
Environmental Management
In 1997, SOCAM expanded its "Safety Department" into "Health Safety and Environment Department"
in order to carry out environmental protection measures in a more systematic manner. Over the years, SOCAM has developed an "Integrated Health Safety and Environment (HSE) Management System", to manage all safety and environmental protection issues.
