Social Performance

The Department has undertaken programmes and measures to promote public awareness

of sustainability issues and encourage the public to participate in the town planning
process. The Department has also strived hard to provide its staff with a safe, healthy and
satisfactory working environment, and provision of personal development opportunities to
help them meet future challenges.

Fight against the Epidemic

Staff members of all ranks and grades of the Department stand together to fight the
epidemic. They participated in various anti-epidemic works, which included participating

in restriction-testing declaration (RTD) operations, distributing anti-epidemic service
bags, assisting in tracing contacts of COVID-19 cases with an aim to reducing the risk of
transmission of COVID-19 in the community. We also actively supported the fund raising

activity for the needy persons.

Staff members of the Department participated in a number of RTD operations. They
conducted home visits, distributed anti-epidemic supplies, handled public enquiries and

requests, assisted in registration and contacted the households after the test results were
available.
