How does SOS ensure sustainability in asset management?

We follow a circular economy approach, prioritising reuse and redistribution before considering recycling or responsible disposal. Our process includes:

• Assessing assets for refurbishment or repurposing
• Connecting organisations with donation partners
• Ensuring materials are recycled in compliance with environmental standards
• Providing carbon impact reporting aligned with ISO 14064-2

SOS partners with vetted recyclers, prioritising those closest to project sites to optimise logistics and minimise carbon emissions. In Hong Kong, we collaborate with HKQAA to audit and validate the furniture management process, ensuring transparency and accountability.

We primarily recycle metals, while the feasibility of recycling plastics and MDF tabletops depends on regional infrastructure and budget considerations.
