Annual Report 2019

Towngas In order to make more efficient use of towngas, our restaurants installed energy-efficient kitchen equipment, such as high-efficiency food steamers, whichwould save both towngas andwater consumption. In addition, we also maintained regular cleaning programs on our major towngas consuming installations, such as boiler plants, to help maintain their efficiency. Vehicle Use The Group’s travel business operates 5 vehicles 5 for passenger transportation. To avoid unnecessary vehicle use and thus increased fuel consumption, control mechanisms are in place to ensure that the vehicles are for commercial purposes only. The Group encourages employees to use public transport for travelling between offices and outlets. In addition, our hotels also provide electric limousine services to guests for eco-friendly travelling experience. In support of initiatives on roadside air quality improvement and greenhouse gas emissions reduction, several electric vehicle chargers have been installed in our carparks. Energy Consumption With the implementation of various energy-saving programmes and promotion of smart use of the green facilities, our Greenhouse Gas (“GHG”) emissions due to electricity consumption in 2019 was 20,609 tonnes, while other small amount emissions, such as gas, diesel, unleaded petrol consumption was 3,867 tonnes.
