OOCL has received the 2017 Hong Kong Awards for Environmental Excellence (HKAEE) Gold Award in the Transport and Logistics Sector category at a ceremony held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The HKAEE encourages businesses and organisations to embrace green management and innovation with the opportunity to benchmark their environmental performance and commitments towards best practices within their sectors. OOCL first participated in the HKAEE Award and won the Gold standing in 2012 and again in 2014. "For the first time in the awards programme, and in addition to the HKAEE Gold Award, a new "outstanding Green Leadership Award" was introduced this year to recognise ten top performers demonstrating excellent performance in the aspect of green leadership. From over 1,600 eligible applicants in 15 industry sectors, OOCL is very proud to be one of the first recipients of this award," it said. OOCL said it will continue to strive for further improvements in all aspects of its business for a greener future in the generations to come.
