Asia Pacifc Green Cargo Terminal Operator
of the Year Award
34 // HUTCHISON PORT HOLDINGS TRUST
Recognising that the port business is a heavy-
duty industry, HPH Trust’s Portfolio Container
Terminals have over the years kept true to their
promise to operate their businesses effciently,
while minimising any impact on the environment.
HIT and YICT have successfully implemented a series of green
initiatives, which aim to reduce pollutants, carbon emissions, noise,
energy and water consumption. Wastewater and scrap materials are
also reused or recycled where possible.
A member of Hong Kong’s Business Environment Council, HIT is also
a signatory to the 2008 Carbon Reduction Charter and 2006 Clean Air
Charter. In 2007, HIT also received the Indoor Air Quality Certifcate
and the Gold Wastewi$e logo. Environmental Certifcates were also
awarded to HIT as part of the 2003 and 2007 Hong Kong Award for
Industries.
HIT was also accredited with ISO 14001, an international environmental
management standard that specifes a process for the implementation
of a strict environmental management system spanning all aspects
of the business.
HIT’s implementation of hybrid and electric cranes is one of the many
reasons it was singled out by Frost and Sullivan for the Asia Pacifc
Green Cargo Terminal Operator of the Year Award, which recognises
HIT’s strong green practices and efforts to reduce the carbon footprint
of its day-to-day operations.
From 2008 to 2011, YICT had a total 20% reduction in energy consumption and 18% reduction in carbon emissions per TEU
