the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Ordinance (Cap. 593), the Personal Data
(Privacy) Ordinance (Cap. 486) and the Electronic Transactions Ordinance
(Cap. 553). The member companies of the Group have registered their
trademarks and domain names to protect their intellectual property rights,
which are considered crucial to their businesses. In particular, the Company
conducts its core business of providing the GETS services to the industrial and
trading sectors in conformity with the Import and Export Ordinance (Cap. 60)
and the GETS Contract signed with the Government in addition to the above-
mentioned ordinances.
For the Group’s environmental policies and performance and the key
relationships with its employees, customers, suppliers and community, the
