We are very optimistic about the outlook of the energy savings business due to the increasing need for energy efficiency and demand for cost savings.

In conjunction with the World Green Organization and Department of Management Sciences of the City University of Hong Kong, Company recently launched the Synergy Energy Efficiency Index. The index will evaluate major areas of energy consumption in Hong Kong's residential and commercial sectors and identify areas of inefficiency.

Mr. Arthur Lam, Vice Chairman and Executive Director of the Group said: "Collectively, Synergy Group has helped to reduce over half million tons of CO2 emission, which equals to the amount of CO2 that 3 million 5-meter tall trees can absorb.
