“A comprehensive IMS is the ‘foundation’ of a construction company which would sustain the company’s steady growth, allowing it to build world-class skyscrapers,” said Mr Peh in his welcoming remarks.
Today’s launching ceremony was jointly organised by the ICAC, the Development Bureau (DEVB) and the Construction Industry Council (CIC). The Charter, covering three aspects, namely integrity policy, integrity training and integrity risk management, aims to promote the implementation of IMS to enhance professional ethics and probity within the industry.
"The IMS will facilitate a company to formulate integrity policy, enhance employees’ anti-graft awareness through integrity training, as well as adopt integrity risk management measures in its business operations," said Mr Peh.
Mr Peh also noted that with the recognition and assistance of the DEVB, integrity policy and integrity training covered in the IMS had been included as one of the registration requirements for approved contractors for public works as well as suppliers of materials and specialist contractors for public works early this year. He expected that the Charter would further promote the implementation of IMS in the construction industry.
Other officiating guests at today’s launching ceremony included Permanent Secretary for Development (Works), Ir Lam Sai-hung; CIC Chairman, Mr Chan Ka-kui and its Executive Director, Ir Albert Cheng Ting-ning.
Representatives from various government works departments, construction industry-related trade associations, professional bodies and major contractors also attended the ceremony.
