Governance Approach

DSD firmly believes that sound corporate governance is not only the bedrock of sustainable development, but also the foundation for achieving our vision, mission and values. Since our establishment, DSD has endeavoured to establish and maintain good corporate governance, with public interest at our heart. We adhere to the principle of good governance through the establishment of a number of highly efficient committees and management systems led by our senior management. They are entrusted with the tasks of formulating sustainability management principles, monitoring policy implementation and improving governance and development strategies timely. On the other hand, we are keen to listen to the views of both internal and external stakeholders to enable us to define our operational targets and expectations, which will in turn help us develop more effective strategies for our services and work, and to continue to raise stakeholders’ level of confidence and trust in our governance.

Established in 1989, DSD is one of the nine departments under the Development Bureau of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Keeping abreast of the times, we provide professional and excellent flood prevention and sewage services. Our “Vision, Mission and Values” exemplifies the sustainability concepts, vividly demonstrating our commitment in promoting sustainable development in Hong Kong and rising up to challenges brought by climate change and urban development.
