The Education University of Hong Kong, in fulfillment of its mission, recognizes the importance of integrating the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy as well as Goal 13: Climate Action. It is committed to ensuring all our management decisions, activities and operations are carried out in an energy efficient manner. We shall:
The Education University of Hong Kong pledges to ensure the effective and sustainable management of waste generated by all students, staff members, contractors, visitors, and the general public using the University’s venues, premises or facilities. A comprehensive waste management system is established.
In pursuit of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, the University will take all reasonably practicable measures to comply with statutory requirements relevant to waste management. In addition, we strive to apply internationally recognized standards, practices and protocols in waste management in order to achieve the following missions.
The success of a waste management system depends on a positive commitment from all stakeholders including staff members, current and past students, service contractors as well as visitors, etc. All individuals have an integral role to manage and dispose of waste properly in order to assure and enhance the general health and safety, as well as to support the protection of environment.
Water is a valuable natural resource which must be managed well to ensure a sustainable use. Hence, the Education University of Hong Kong is committed to supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all staff, students, on-campus residents and visitors of the University.
The University will pursue this goal through effective monitoring of water consumption and implementation of the following measures and improvement initiatives across our campuses.
By implementing these initiatives, we aim to cultivate a culture of sustainability and responsibility regarding water consumption. We encourage all members of our university community to actively participate in these efforts and to adopt mindful practices that contribute to our collective goal of conserving this precious resource.
The "Green Guidelines for Events of the University" aims to facilitate faculties, academies, departments, offices and student bodies of the University to integrate green practices into all events of the University, including Information Days, Registration Days, Orientation Days, Graduation Ceremonies, Sports Days, exhibitions, conferences and seminars, etc. The guidelines are not meant to be exhaustive but intend to give directions on the key action items which shall be applicable to event management in general. Innovative ideas implementing green practices that go beyond the guidelines are always welcome.
