Manage our Supply Chain
We work closely with our employees and suppliers to serve Hong Kong in a sustainable and responsible manner. Among our main responsibilities, we have an obligation to take care of our employees and to encourage our suppliers to share our CSR values, particularly with regard to health and safety at work.
We pride ourselves on being an employer that enables our people to fully develop their personal and professional potential based on our human resources strategy “SHINE”: Synergy, Holistic development, Ideal workplace, Nurture future leaders and Excellence.
In the workplace, health and safety considerations take a high priority in all of HK Electric’s business decisions. Underlined in our Health and Safety Policy and overseen by our Health and Safety Board chaired by our Managing Director, our primary objective is to make all of our operations accident-free. By running health and safety management systems in line with OHSAS 18001 standard, we strive to make continuous improvements in our safety performance.
We also have a Code of Practice for Suppliers that outlines the ethical, human and labour rights, health and safety, and environmental protection standards they are expected to follow.
