With the vision to create a modern provider of complete non-vessel operated cargo solutions for shippers and consignees located in the other continents, Cargo Services Far East is considered as one of the earliest outside logistics service providers who entered the China market.
To accomplish these objectives, we pilot new projects, programs, and technologies to further reduce or even eliminate releases of pollutants to air, water, or soil; and to save the use of resources which contribute to the implementation of the environmental strategy.
Cargo Services Far East has launched several initiatives at its offices in Hong Kong and China:
Since 2011, Cargo Services Far East has adopted a green travel program for its Hong Kong and China offices. High-speed railway is the preferred way of travelling for our executives in China. The use of video conferences is encouraged to replace travelling for face- to-face meetings.
All new facilities to be built by Cargo Services will incorporate the latest technology of solar energy and the collection of rain water for drainage purpose.Everything being equal, we will give priority in renting warehouses with the same environmentally-friendly technology being installed.
Our core procurement strategy of “centralized purchase of service, decentralized purchase of product” has effectively reduced the energy used for transferring products to different offices within the country.
Cargo Services Far East is committed to, develop a new tool that calculates CO2 emissions from our daily operations. In order to closely monitor the carbon footprint, the tool will be linked to our own operational data. The output is a concise report that shows our total CO2 emissions by office or by each business unit.
Furthermore, we will develop targets for the reduction of carbon and keep identifying opportunities where they can reduce carbon emissions.
Our group has been granted a “Class of Excellence on Wastewi$e Award” in Hong Kong Awards of Environmental Excellence since 2002 which is organised by Environmental Protection Department.
