The Group has been awarded numerous green building certificates in recognition of our continued commitment to building our green portfolio. Over 95% of our ongoing construction sites (by total GFA) are registered with BEAM Plus. Five managed properties, including Sun Hung Kai Centre, achieved the ‘Excellent’ rating in Management under the Selective Scheme of BEAM Plus Existing Buildings V2.0.

Refining Our Climate Strategy

Recognizing the associated risks and opportunities posed by climate change, the Group has consolidated its resources to strengthen management of the situation, develop a resilient long-term strategy, expand our climate-risk management capabilities, and improve the management of related performance, for example, introducing climate-resilient elements in buildings to combat climate change.
