Upon our preliminary analysis, the cost implication to our business operations would be limited, and we would closely track the development to ensure full compliance. Meanwhile, we are further exploring new solutions to minimize wastes generated in our operations to ease the burden on the environments. Green Recognition Our efforts at environmental protection have been highly regarded by various professional bodies, institutions and government bodies. ISO14001 certification has been accredited to Mira Place Tower A, Mira Place 1 and The Mira Hong Kong for successful implementation of the environmental management system, which demands environmental-friendly considerations on products and services. In the past few years, Miramar Group has been honored with various green awards and certificates, which include awards from Environmental Protection Department, Green Council, Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency, CLP Power Hong Kong Limited, HK Q-Mark Council Federation, Federation of HK Industries, HK Institute of Facility Management, Chartered Association of Building Engineers and Friends of the Earth, etc. Further to the award of “Top Green Companies in Asia” at the Asia Corporate Excellence & Sustainability Awards organized by MORS Group in 2017, our Group was honored to be the recipient of “ESG Care Prize 2021” in the InnoESG Prize Series organized by SocietyNext Foundation and ranked Top 10 in the “1st Greater China Hotel Business Sustainability Index” launched by The Chinese University of Hong Kong Business School this year, which recognize our leading effort and constructive contribution toward building a sustainable future. Recycling Statistics on our Hong Kong Operations in 2021 are summarized below. Cooking Oil We have appointed a contractor with international sustainability and carbon certification to handle used cooking-oil in our hotels and restaurants. As a socially-responsible landlord, we encouraged the Food and Beverage (‘‘F&B’’) tenants in our shopping mall to participate in such recycling programme. The appointed contractor can recycle the used cooking-oil into biodiesel fuel for vehicle/industrial use at its plant. During 2021, 17,806L of used cooking-oil has been collected. Food Wastage Two food decomposer machines were installed in Mira Place 1 for handling food waste collected from F&B tenants and staff canteen. The decomposers use water and heat to biodegrade leftover food and turn the solidified leftovers into nutrient-rich water that can be disposed or diluted for use on lawns and flowerbeds. During 2021, 221,350kg of food waste has been handled. 036 Environmental, Social and Governance Report Annual Report 2021 Miramar Hotel and Investment Company, Limited
