SUSTAINABILITY

New World Millennium Hong Kong Hotel embraces its responsibility to protect our planet and maintain environmental sustainability by implementing environmentally friendly practices and green initiatives in hotel operations.

ISO 14001 Certification

• Embarking on the implementation of Hong Kong’s first energy and water conservation programmes in 1992, the hotel has achieved ISO 14001 certification since 1999.  ISO 14001 is a worldwide standard for Environmental Management System (EMS) of International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO)
• Compliance with ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS) is proof of the hotel’s commitment to improve environmental performance, providing an independent and objective measure of the hotel’s effectiveness and achievement in continual environmental improvement through energy and waste management. An audit and inspection by an external, registered EMS auditor is conducted twice a year to ensure the hotel’s compliance with ISO 14001 regulatory requirements.
