Hong Kong Green Building Council (“HKGBC”) Zero-Carbon-Ready Building Certification Scheme

In recognition of Henderson Land’s leadership in green building practices, HKGBC awarded the Group Zero-Carbon-Ready Building Certification. The scheme was launched in the third quarter of 2023 and is an integral component of the HKGBC Climate Change Framework for Built Environment, designed to support Hong Kong’s vision of transforming into a low-carbon and resilient city. The Group’s property, K Plus, was evaluated and has attained a “Level 1 Improvement” rating in the Target Setting Certificate of the scheme as a result of a series of energy saving measures being implemented. Specifically, we have completed replacement of chillers with higher efficiency and installed building management system for smart control and LED lamps in 2019 and 2021 respectively, resulting in an energy reduction of 14.6% from the baseline.

A total of 29 projects from seven developers and property management companies have been awarded certificates for their participation in the pilot Certification Scheme. Henderson Land, as a leader in the industry, is among the seven recipients in the scheme. Our active participation in the pilot Certification Scheme reflects our dedication to pioneering sustainable building practices and reinforcing our status as a leader in green building innovations.

These awards and accolades are strong testament to our unwavering commitment and endeavour in creating green and sustainable buildings, providing further momentum for us to keep raising the bar and contribute to our community, the industry and beyond.
