4 May 2007 - Press Invitation
Hong Kong Eco-Product Award 2007
To Honour Green Product Excellence and Tackle Climate Change
You are cordially invited to attend a press interview for the launch of Hong Kong Eco-Products Award 2007. The Award, the only program of its kind in Hong Kong to honour green excellence and promote product responsibility, will be open for entries. Into the fourth year, the lead organizer Business Environment Council (BEC) also takes this as a meaningful measure to tackle climate change, one of the most pressing issues that our planet is facing today.
Designing and manufacturing, buying and using products with less overall environmental impacts can help reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission. It is a most sustainable approach to resolve the climate change issue. Everyone should go beyond the attitudinal efforts and expand it into a wider scope of actions.
Local and worldwide trends also show increasing demand for goods manufactured by companies that exhibit sound environmental and social responsibility. Recent surveys indicate that consumers have increasing preference in buying eco-products and are willing to pay more for these products.
Co-organized by The Chinese Manufacturer’s Association of Hong Kong, The Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, The Federation of Hong Kong Industries, and The Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, the Award gives recognition for environmental excellence across the product life-cycle of design, manufacture, packaging and transportation, use and disposal. The award is now open for entries until 20 July 2007. Design firms, trading companies or agents are welcome to enter the Award.
