also acted in strict compliance with the Employment Ordinance (Cap.
57), the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance (Cap. 485), the

Ordinance (Cap. 619), 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
