CEO Message

Year 2013 was concluded with remarkable results. Our

business volume climbed to a new historical high,

averaging 70,362 meals a day. All of us at CPCS are truly

encouraged.

With today’s success, our vision is to achieve long term

sustainable growth. As our business continues to expand,

we gladly embrace the commercial opportunities to come,

at the same time we remain committed to increasing the

positive impact we may bring to our people, business

partners, local community and the environment.

SUSTAINABLE WORK HIGHLIGHTS

In 2013, we continued to take different measures to ensure we were operating in a

sustainable way. Some key initiatives we have taken include a major investment to

upgrade our 15-year old production facility in order to significantly reduce our CO2

emission; we also kicked off a new round of replacement program to upgrade our ramp

car fleet from Euro IV to Euro V standard. Thanks to the cooperation of our supply chain,

we have steadily increased our supply of certified sustainable seafood to our customers.

Efforts have also been directed to scout the market for sustainable products in vegetable

and meat categories. To further safeguard the health and safety of our frontline staff, we

introduced a fresh safety driving campaign that focused on our drivers. We started our

ground work for a brand new LEAN journey for the whole organization that is to begin in

Page 4: SUStainability report - CPCS Report 2013 ENG.pdf · SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2013 ... canteen and fruit peels during production and ... We are studying the feasibility of donating inbound

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2013

Page 4

2014. The ultimate goal is to equip our people with the right tools and right mindset in

order to work more efficiently and safely in our constant search of business excellence.

The LEAN program will be launched at full speed in 2014.

LOOKING AHEAD

In 2014, CPCS is entering a whole new chapter in its history. With full confidence in the

future of the aviation industry of Hong Kong, we have successfully extended our franchise

agreement with the Airport Authority Hong Kong for up to 17 years to 2030. CPCS has

committed substantial investment on facility expansion. What this project presents to us

is not only a brand new annex facility that raises our production capacity from today’s

100,000 meals per day to 140,000 meals per day, but also an exciting opportunity for us to

revamp our current work flow. More sustainable practices will be implemented to our

business operations. At this stage, our dedicated project team is working day and night to

ensure the design of the new annex facility excels with as many environmentally sound

solutions as possible.

Sustainable development is central to our business strategy. With the dedication and

support of everyone from our staff, our business associates and our community, we

believe we will become the most valued catering service partner in Asia.

condensers to improve the efficiency of

heat exchange. 60% replacement work

will be completed by the first quarter in

2014.

• Installation of plastic curtain

By installing plastic curtain in cold rooms

of outbound and tray setting areas, it

reduced energy use for air conditioning

and hence reduced the emission of 27 tons

of CO2.

• Installation of LED tubes

• Switch off CPCS logo

The company logos outside the building are switched off at 1 am everyday to reduce 9

tons of CO2 emission.

• Control on work area temperature

In some work areas, the room temperature was raised by 1oC which reduced 40 tons of

CO2 emission.

• Recycling of materials

Our recyclables include paper, aluminium cans, wine bottles, plastic bottles and cups

as well as used cooking oil. The materials are sorted and collected by local recyclers

for processing and recycling.

• Reduction and recycling of food waste

To further reduce the waste volume and enhance the

recycling activity, a proper food waste recycling

practice was implemented. Leftovers and end cuts

during production are donated to a local pig farm.

The scope was up-scaled by collaborating with

Airport Authority to recycle the leftovers from

canteen and fruit peels during production and pass to

a recycler for production of fish feed.

• Ecological tour

Two activities were organised for colleagues’ engagement.

Culture tour and organic farm day in March

A docent service was arranged for colleagues and their family members to the

Ping Shan Heritage Trail which demonstrated the traditional life in New

Territories and highlighted to need to conserve the monuments. It followed by a

visit to an organic farm in Fanling for the participants to explore the natural

environment.

Green day in October

A field trip was organised to raise “Green Living” habit awareness. The Produce

Green Foundation’s Organic Farm in Fanling was visited. Colleagues were

provided an opportunity to make organic food (e.g. bread, soya milk and tea) and

also to experience the natural way of life. Both of which is a good start towards a

cleaner, greener and better lifestyle.

Sustainable Purchase and Supply Chain Engagement

POLICY

PCS preaches to our supply chain on our conviction in sustainable development.

We favour suppliers who share our commitment and who seek to integrate

principles of sustainable development into all areas of their business.

INITIATIVES IN 2013

• Purchases of sustainable seafood

On sea catch seafood, we continue to look for more MSC-approved seafoods. On

aquacultured products, we have adopted standards advocated by BAP, GlobalGAP and

ASC. Our range has since increased to cover Basa, Black Cod, Haddock, Halibut, Pacific

Cod, Salmon, Scallop, Seabass, Seabream. Our total purchase volume of sustainable

seafood has increased steadily.

• Customers’ buy-in for sustainable food policy

Continuous effort has been put into gaining our customer’s approval of our sustainable

policy, where our customers are requested to refrain from the use of unsustainably

produced food items, Sharks Fins included, in their menus. In 2013, we successfully

achieved zero consumption.

• Upgrade of ramp car fleet to Euro V

emission standard

After 5 years, we reactivated our ramp car

fleet replacement program. This time, we

moved on from Euro IV emission standard to

Euro V standard. A total of 5 ramp cars have

been delivered. Our replacement program

will continue into 2014.

• Enhanced Supply Chain Sustainability Code of Conduct

We have updated and enhanced our Supply Chain Sustainability Code of Conduct (see

Appendix III). The new edition represents more stringent standards that we aspire to

achieve together with our supply chain. Our goal is not just to meet all legal

requirements, but also to exceed them. We seek our supply chain’s full support in

complying with our new Code of Conduct.

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2013

Page 28

PLAN FOR 2014

• Research on sustainability of other food categories

While we place a special emphasis on the sustainability of seafood, we hope to apply

sustainability development to other food categories too. To begin with, we will conduct

an extensive research into sustainability of Vegetables and Meat items.

• Purchase of locally grown vegetables

There seems to be a revival in the local vegetable farming industry. We will look into

the feasibility of buying locally grown vegetables, while reducing our vegetables

import. The potential benefits include cutting down on carbon footprint, and

extending support to the local industry.

• Purchase of our first electric vehicle

To further contribute to the clean air of Hong Kong, we will explore the use of

electrical vehicles for our operations. Electric vehicles have no tailpipe emissions. Use

of them will improve roadside air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

• Upgrade of mini van fleet to Euro V emission standard

Following the replacement program for our ramp car fleet, we plan to do the same to

our mini van fleet. Our existing vans are a mix of pre-Euro emission standard to at best

Euro IV standard. We would like to phase out the old ones with Euro V standard.

• Paper hand towel usage reduction

As a key part of our stringent hygiene requirement, our staff members are required to

frequently wash their hands. The consequence is that a vast amount of paper hand

SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2013

Page 29

towel is being used. To be more eco-friendly, we will look for an alternative paper hand

towel and hand towel dispensing system in order to cut down on our paper

consumption.

• Recycling used uniform

Each year, we see a considerable quantity of worn and torn uniforms thrown to the

landfill. This happens with not just CPCS, but many other operating companies of the

Swire Group. We will work with the other Swire Group companies to find outlets for

these used uniforms, so that the fabric could be recycled.

facilities.

Suppliers should have in place a policy regarding alcohol and other drug abuse

prevention, and testing for such, and should communicate appropriately to employees.

• The environment

Suppliers should have in place an effective system for managing environmental issues

including measuring and reporting on their environmental impact, seek to improve

the impact of their operations upon the environment, and take a precautionary

approach to environmental matters. We will have a strong preference for suppliers

whose goods or services can make a significant difference to reducing their

environmental impact.

Chemical and other materials posing a hazard if released to the environment are to be

identified and managed to ensure their safe handling, movement, storage, recycling or

reuse and disposal.

Wastewater and solid waste generated from operations, industrial processes and

sanitation facilities are to be monitored, controlled and treated as required prior to

discharge or disposal.

Air emissions of volatile organic chemicals, aerosols, corrosives, particulates, ozone

depleting chemicals and combustion by-products generated from operations are to be

characterised, monitored, controlled and treated as required prior to discharge.

All types of waste, including water and energy, should be reduced or eliminated at

source or by practices such as modifying production, maintenance and facility

processes, materials substitution, conservation, recycling and re-using materials.

• Compensation and working hours

Suppliers must provide each employee with at least the local legal minimum wage and

benefits. Suppliers must pay their employees promptly, providing each with clear and

written accounting for every pay period. Wages should be paid regularly, on time and

be fair in respect of work performance. Payment should not be made more than one

month in arrears and deduction should not be made from employee pay for

disciplinary reasons. Employees should be compensated for overtime according to the

law and within legal working hour limits.

Employees should be granted their stipulated annual leave and sick leave without any

repercussions, and should be permitted to take their stipulated maternity or paternity

leave in accordance with national laws.

• Discrimination and employee rights

All conditions of employment must be based on an individual’s ability to do the job,

not on the basis of personal characteristics or beliefs. Suppliers must not discriminate

on the basis of race, colour, national origin, age, gender, sexual orientation, religion,

disability or other similar factors.

Employees shall be treated with respect and dignity. No employee shall be subject to

any physical, sexual, psychological or verbal harassment or abuse, nor is there to be

the threat of such treatment.

Suppliers shall have in place communication mechanisms and grievance procedures

that allow employees to raise concerns and complaints with management.

Suppliers shall respect employees’ rights to choose whether to be represented by third

parties and to bargain collectively in accordance with local law. Harassment,

intimidation, penalties, interference or reprisal should not be used to interfere with

such legitimate activities.

• Supply chain

Suppliers should work with their own supply chain, including suppliers, service

providers and subcontractors, to ensure that they also strive to meet the principles of

this Code. This should be integrated within the supplier’s business processes to select

and manage the performance of their supply chain.

Suppliers should pay their own suppliers accurately and on time for the products and

services provided.

• Ethics

Suppliers must commit to the highest standards of moral and ethical conduct in their

businesses. All forms of corruption, extortion, fraud and bribery should be prohibited,

including those for the suppliers’ own benefit or for the benefit of their relations,

friends or associates.

Suppliers should disclose to us any situation that may appear as a material conflict of

interest. They are also expected to disclose if any of our officials or consultants

working with us has a material interest of any kind in the supplier's business or any

kind of economic ties with the supplier.

• Communication, documentation and inspection

Suppliers are responsible for communicating the requirements of this Code to their

employees. The Code should be made freely available to employees in their local

language and in a readily accessible place.

Suppliers must maintain records of all relevant documentation necessary to

demonstrate compliance with this Code and related laws, and where requested should

agree to make these documents available for us or our designated auditor as evidence
