企業管治報告
企業管治架構
成立
香港房屋協會成立於一九四八年，並於
一九五一年根據《香港房屋協會法團條例》
（第一零五九章）正式註冊，是一個由委員管
治的獨立非牟利機構。
房協致力維持最高的企業管治水平，並平衡
各持份者的利益。我們以高透明度及參照最
佳的運作模式，建立良好企業管治的基石，
再加上我們的核心價值和信念，確保房協能
維持優秀企業公民的地位。
雙層管治架構
房協採用由監事會及執行委員會組成的雙層
管治架構運作。現時的企業管治模式，將監
察和營運管理的角色分開，即監事會負責訂
立房協的長遠使命及方針；執行委員會負
責制訂策略及政策，以達到房協的使命和目
標；而管理層則負責在日常業務上執行既定
的策略。房協亦設立了提名委員會、審核委
員會及薪酬委員會，協助監事會及執行委員
會分別處理提名及任命委員、審計、制訂整
體薪酬策略及管理高層人員的薪酬等事宜。
執行委員會亦會成立專責委員會及特別委員
會，在特定業務範疇上提供意見。各委員會
的成立，有助提升監事會及執行委員會的效
率，讓其專注處理重大事務，並充份發揮各
房協委員的專業才能，令他們更投入房協的
工作。
Corporate Governance Structure
Incorporation
Hong Kong Housing Society was established in 1948 and incorporated
in 1951 by the Hong Kong Housing Society Incorporation Ordinance
(Cap 1059). It is an independent, not-for-profit organisation governed
by Members.
The Housing Society is committed to upholding the highest standards
of corporate governance in the balanced interests of our various
stakeholders. Transparency and the pursuit of best practices are the
cornerstones of this commitment which, coupled with our values and
beliefs, ensure that we remain at the highest echelons of corporate
citizenship.
Two-tier Board Structure
The Housing Society’s governance structure comprises a Supervisory
Board and an Executive Committee (two-tier Board). This current
corporate governance model separates the roles of oversight and
management of operations, and in particular, the Supervisory Board
determines the long-term mission and guiding principles of the
Housing Society; the Executive Committee sets the strategies and
policies to achieve the mission and objectives; and the Management
is accountable for the implementation of the strategies in the business
operations. The Nominating Committee, the Audit Committee and the
Remuneration Committee are formed to support the Supervisory Board
and the Executive Committee in the areas of membership nomination
and appointment; audit; and overall compensation strategy and the
remuneration of top management executives respectively. The Executive
Committee will also establish ad hoc committee and special committee
to give advice on specific business areas. Having various committees
to support the key Board functions increases the Board’s efficiency,
enhances the Board’s focus on high-impact issues, leverages specific
skills contained within the Housing Society membership and deepens
Housing Society Members’ commitment to the Housing Society.
