Crown Macau wins Award for Eco-Business

Crown Macau has been elected as one of the awardees at the Prime Awards for Eco-Business 2008 recently held in Hong Kong. The Awards recognize the effort and accomplishments of promoting green environment and Crown Macau is the only hotel and casino in Macau that has been selected along with other large-scale corporations such as The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, The Hong Kong Electric Co. Ltd. and MTR Corporation Ltd.

The judging panel consisted of representatives from major Hong Kong environmental protection organizations, commence and industry associations and academic scholars. Entries were judged on such criteria as strategy and measure, consciousness, and innovative idea on environmental protection.

As a responsible corporate citizen, the Crown Macau is dedicated to supporting environmental protection with a number of effective measures which have been incorporated into the design of the property. Crown Macau is one of the only buildings in Macau to have installed a sophisticated waste recycling system called Grey Water System.

Today, about half of the hotel's daily operations in flushing and irrigations come from this source. Other measures include utilizing an heat pump and calorifier system to reduce CO2 and other greenhouse gas and installing an Heating Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC) system to better use the energy.

"We are honoured and proud to have received the Prime Awards for Eco-Business 2008," said Mr. Keith Heise, Chief Executive Officer of Crown Macau. "This is the outcome of the hard work and dedication of all Crown Macau staff. We will continue to support Macau SAR's pursuit of green environment."
