Project Challenge
Established as early as in 1984, Hei Ling Chau Island is developed into a correctional service island, covering Hei Ling Chau Correctional Institution, Hei Ling Chau Addiction Treatment Centre & Annex, and Lai Sun Correctional Institution. As one of the institutions under Hong Kong Correctional Services Department, Hei Ling Chau Island aims at enhancing the physical and psychological health of prisoners, protecting the public, and reducing crime with an environmental friendly system.
To practice its commitment to environmental protection, Hei Ling Chau Island planned to identify, review, control and management the Island’s environmental impact with the implementation of an ISO14001 Environmental Management System, aiming at reducing the pollution it might produce to its minimum.
Our Approach
Hei Ling Chau Island has appointed TQM Consultants Co Ltd (TQM) as their consultant in this ISO14001 EMS project. With its substantial experience in working with Government Departments on Management System Projects, collection of information and in-depth analysis of relevant information, TQM designed a 9-month implementation plan for Hei Ling Chau.
Hei Ling Chau is an outlying island covering three correctional institutions, and located close to several natural spots. Thorough review and research of its environmental impact is particularly crucial in this project. In addition, communication and involvement of Hei Ling Chau’s staff were especially helpful in designing the most suitable and effective management system for the island.
Project Achievement
Hei Ling Chau Island successfully implemented an ISO14001 certified Environmental Management System, fulfilling its commitment to environmental protection. Its comprehensive EMS covers:
- Facilities and establishments on the island
- Whole island eco-management
- Sewage management
- Medical facilities etc.
Hei Ling Chau is not only a quality establishment for the correctional services in Hong Kong, but also a good example of good eco-management and social accountability.
