DSD’s Organisation Chart

DSD Headquarters consist of four branches, each led by an Assistant Director and supported by staff members specialised in various professional disciplines to ensure DSD’s delivery of a range of quality services.

We set up various management committees and working groups as part of our governance structure to effectively implement sustainability measures and thereby fulfil our commitment to promoting sustainable development.

Green Leadership

DSD has a Green Management Committee which is chaired by the Deputy Director, and the Assistant Director/Electrical & Mechanical is appointed as Green Manager. The Committee is responsible for reviewing policies on environmental management, setting environmental objectives and targets, and monitoring environmental performance. During the reporting period, the Committee held two meetings with in-depth discussions on issues like energy conservation and greening.

Energy and emissions management are among the key environmental issues for DSD. We have therefore established an Energy and Emission Management Team in addition to the Environmental Management Committee. The Team steers the implementation of the six commitments under the Clean Air Charter. It helps improve DSD’s performances in relation to energy and emissions by identifying emissions sources, benchmarking performance, implementing improvement measures, sharing professional expertise etc. During the reporting period, the Team held two meetings to discuss topics such as energy-saving targets, applications of renewable energy and energy-saving measures.
