Jones Lang LaSalle Management Services Ltd, a<br />

global leader in property management, is committed<br />

to create a sustainable environment for the next<br />

generation; <strong>and</strong> YKK Building exemplifies how we<br />

marry our environmental management ideas with<br />

full support from the building owner, YKK Hong<br />

Kong Limited. For instance, all staff were required<br />

to comply with the ISO14001 st<strong>and</strong>ard <strong>and</strong> follow<br />

environmental policies as established by the top<br />

management.<br />

Jones Lang LaSalle’s senior management formed the<br />

Sustainability Committee in 1999 to expedite the<br />

Environmental Management System in all buildings,<br />

dispatch environmental information to our clients,<br />

provide environmental guidelines for tenants<br />

<strong>and</strong> contractors to follow. Furthermore, new staff<br />

attend an Induction Course in which we include an<br />

introduction to our Environmental Management<br />

System; while existing staff attend the Revision<br />

Course to refresh their environmental knowledge<br />

<strong>and</strong> awareness regularly. We also set up a green<br />

website to address a growing interest from the staff<br />

to exchange new ideas such as environmental issues,<br />

etc.<br />

In order to ensure that no recyclable <strong>and</strong> reusable<br />

wastes are disposed, YKK Building established a<br />

waste separation <strong>and</strong> recycling centre, wherein over<br />

16 items out of 21 collected wastes were identified<br />

for recycling. In 2006, the total collected waste<br />

<strong>and</strong> recyclable volume recorded reached up to<br />

1,024,939.80kg <strong>and</strong> 619,559.70 kg, respectively; while<br />

recyclable ratio is over 60% of the total waste. In<br />

order to reduce CO 2<br />

production, a waste compactor<br />

was installed to reduce the number of times for<br />

truck travelling. Furthermore, a zipper shredder was<br />

engaged to reduce the disposal volume.<br />
