Climate

In 2008, the LCMP system was tested on three pilot companies in the Pearl River Delta in the electronics, plastics and textiles / garments sectors. The potential GHG emissions reductions identified ranged from 12 % to 24% per year, with a total reduction of 4,053 tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2eq.) - 19% of total GHG emissions of all three companies.

74 million tCO2eq. reduction per year is potentially achievable when such measures are extrapolated to all 55,000 Hong Kong-owned factories in the PRD. This GHG mitigation potential is comparable to most Nordic countries' total national GHG emissions.

WWF-Hong Kong’s Low Carbon Manufacturing Programme (LCMP) is grateful for the enthusiasm and support from a number of companies operating manufacturing facilities in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) in contributing to the LCMP. The ecological awareness and forward-thinking commitment of the following firms is crucial to making this scheme a success.
