​The Geoenvironmental Subcommittee works to raise the profile of geoenvironmental engineering in Hong Kong and provide an authoritative voice on the investigation, remediation and design approaches to contaminated land and landfills. The group aims to improve awareness and understanding of the implications of contaminated land and landfills to industry and society and promote the consideration of both geotechnical and geoenvironmental issues in the assessment of land quality. Its objectives include the following:

​
