OOCL Features in New Climate Change

OOCL’s environmental
care initiatives are featured in a new "how to" guide written specifically
to empower businesses in Hong Kong to reduce their carbon
footprints.

The Hong Kong Climate Change Business Forum (CCBF), in
partnership with the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce (HKGCC),
launched the guide on May 14, 2009.

“OOCL is pleased to participate
in this guide, which is the first of its kind for Hong Kong. We believe
every business in every industry must proactively work to reduce harmful
emissions, and business leaders should encourage sustainable economic
development through innovative and voluntary measures. This guide provides
a comprehensive starting point and excellent information source on the
challenges we are all facing, and provides real-life case studies on how
leading Hong Kong businesses are meeting these challenges,” said CEO of
OOCL, Mr. Philip Chow.
