The Campaign serves as a collaboration platform for commercial and industrial organisations to reduce non-domestic water use which accounts for approximately 45% of the total water consumption in Hong Kong. It covers different components which include the signing of charter, appointment of “Water Conservation Manager”, education and promotion activities (e.g. booths, webinars, workshops and exhibitions), equipment improvement; as well as an award recognition programme. Since its launch, the Campaign has received positive response from commerce chambers and industry associations. The one-year campaign has garnered the participation of 624 commercial and industrial organisations who have pledged to commit to cherishing water. All participating premises have achieved a significant reduction in overall water consumption in 2022 by 5%, or about 500 000 cubic metres, which is equivalent to 200 Olympic-size swimming pools. To help organisations develop appropriate water efficiency indicators, business activity data and associated water consumption across four major industries: shopping malls, industrial and commercial buildings, hotels and restaurants are compiled to facilitate performance benchmarking and action planning. 在二零二三年三月二十二日舉辦的「商約」惜水大獎頒獎典禮上，水務署署長邱國鼎衷心感謝各機構及其員工對 「商約」惜水運動的積極參與，並能夠在節約用水量方面取得顯著成效。 At the ECH2O Awards Ceremony held on 22 March 2023, the Director of Water Supplies, Mr Tony Yau expressed heartfelt gratitude to all the organisations and staff for their active participation in the ECH2O and remarkable achievements in reducing water consumption. 建立企業承諾協作平台 Building Collaboration Platform for Enterprise Commitment 水務署 二零二二至二三年年報 WSD Annual Report 2022/23 101 Support 全 力 支 持
