Statement on Corporate Governance
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 Governance Structure
The Housing Society’s Board 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
mission, vision, core values, 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 and the Audit Committee are formed to
support the Supervisory Board in the areas of membership nomination
and admission, and financial reporting and internal control
respectively; the Remuneration Committee is formed to support the
Executive Committee in the areas of overall compensation strategy
and the remuneration of top management executives. Special or ad
hoc committee or task force may also be established by the Executive
Committee for any particular or special purpose as and when necessary
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.
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，以平
衡各持份者的利益。我們以高透明度及最
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
房協維持優秀企業公民的地位。
雙層管治架構
房協的管治架構是由監事會及執行委員會
組成（雙層管治架構）。現時的企業管治模
式是將監察和營運管理的角色分開。監事
會負責訂立房協的宗旨、願景、核心價值
及企業原則；執行委員會則負責制訂策略
及政策，以達到房協的宗旨和目標。管理
層則負責在日常業務上執行既定的策略。
房協設立提名委員會及審核委員會，分別
協助監事會處理提名及任命委員以及財務
報告及內部監控等事宜；房協亦設立薪酬
委員會，協助執行委員會處理整體薪酬策
略及高層管理人員的薪酬等事宜。執行委
員會亦可於有需要時就任何特定或特殊目
的成立特別或專責委員會或專責小組，在
指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，讓其專注處理更重要的事務，並讓各
房協委員充份發揮其專業才能，以及更投
入房協的工作。
