We are committed to being environmentally conscious in all our activities and services and endeavour to serve the Hong Kong community with the best of our expertise in safeguarding human health, protecting and preserving natural ecosystems, thus contributing to the sustainable development of Hong Kong.

We aim to continually improve the quality of our services, and to alleviate as far as practicable the impact that our facilities and sewage and drainage systems impose on the environment of Hong Kong. To meet these objectives, we are committed to:

- Adopting state-of-the-art clean technologies and pollution prevention measures;

- Integrating sustainability considerations into the design, construction and operation of our facilities;

- Minimising and mitigating environmental impacts arising from the construction and operation of our facilities;

- Meeting all statutory and regulatory requirements on environmental performance that are applicable to the activities of the department; and

- Devising and conducting internal operations in an environmentally responsible manner.

We ensure that our Environmental Policy is communicated to all staff, our consultants and contractors, and is open to public scrutiny. Our staff are committed to upholding this departmental policy, obtaining the relevant training and deploying the necessary resources to enable its implementation.
