In its latest move to achieve net zero, Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals Limited (Hactl) – Hong Kong’s largest independent handler – has launched a voluntary Green Terminal Pact (GTP) to engage its SuperTerminal 1 tenants in reducing its carbon footprint and creating an environmentally-conscious workplace.

The aims of the GTP are to help Hactl and its tenants reduce energy consumption, and prepare for Hong Kong’s Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Charging Scheme, by providing a system of quantitative measurements.
Hactl has installed smart meters in participating tenants’ offices to help track energy consumption, and has organised briefings on the new waste charging scheme.
It also has installed an additional recycling machine at its terminal and will continue to collect waste for recycling to enable tenants to better manage and reduce their waste.
A key element of the GTP is a Performance Reward Scheme, in which participating tenants set targets for reduced energy consumption and waste, and increased recycling.

Successful achievement of targets will earn trophies and vouchers that can be used by tenants’ staff to buy a wide range of goods from local social enterprises.
Hactl is the first member of the Hong Kong International Airport business community to launch a sustainability-themed tenant engagement program, embodying such a performance reward scheme.
The GTP is voluntary, and all tenants engaged in proactive sustainability measures are eligible to participate. Tenants occupying over 70 per cent of SuperTerminal 1’s rented office space have already committed to signing the Pact.
