Enabling Global Partnerships across Industries to Advocate Sustainability

Henderson Land has consistently led the way in sustainability, a key part of which is strengthening relationships with global sustainability leaders, including the World Green Building Council (“WorldGBC”) and the U.S. Green Building Council (“USGBC”). Through these partnerships, we continue to push the boundaries of green building advocacy and promote sustainability in Hong Kong and beyond.

Showcasing The Henderson through USGBC and WorldGBC Engagement
Our collaboration with the USGBC included an exclusive tour and tenant engagement session, where Anyeley Hallová, Chair of the Board at USGBC, expressed her admiration for our flagship development, The Henderson.

Additionally, we were proud to have contributed to the WorldGBC’s latest report, Changing Business Case, which highlighted the value of green buildings in the Asia-Pacific region. Our involvement demonstrated how Hong Kong leverages sustainable finance to drive market transformation and reinforced the importance of BEAM Plus certification in shaping the future of sustainable urban development.

We were also delighted to host the USGBC leadership team at our Two IFC headquarters and The Henderson. The visit provided an engaging exchange on sustainability, with Peter Templeton, President and CEO of the USGBC, commenting, “So impressive!” This exchange further solidified our standing as a leader in sustainable development and green building practices.

Connecting with International Chambers and Consulates
Expanding our efforts beyond Hong Kong, The Henderson continues to build strong networks with international organisations. Over the past year, we organised a series of events with representatives from global chambers and consulates, including the French, and Dutch chambers, Consulate-General of Japan in Hong Kong, as well as the Consulate-General of Sweden in Hong Kong. These discussions centred on how The Henderson’s iconic architectural design and advanced sustainability practices have set a new benchmark in the real estate industry. The positive feedback from these partners reaffirmed our leadership in creating sustainable and smart urban spaces.

Extending Global Impact through Regional and Industry Initiatives
We also extended our global reach with several key initiatives. We were honoured to participate in the BEC visit to Paris, collaborate on WorldGBC’s Singapore visit, and engage in the Japan APN meeting with the WorldGBC. Additionally, our involvement as a judge for the HKFBS ESG Case Competition further cemented our commitment to advancing ESG practices across industries. Moreover, our collaboration with HKGBC and ViuTV on a joint television programme, showcases our ongoing efforts to make sustainability accessible and engaging for a broader audience.

Through these partnerships and initiatives, Henderson Land is both advocating sustainability and also playing an instrumental role in shaping a more sustainable future globally
