Commitment on ESG


Hon Kwok Group values the sustainability of its business and strives to incorporate environmentally friendly elements into operations.

With this vision in mind, we have adopted various environmental protection initiatives and formulating policies in the areas of energy consumption, greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, waste generation, water consumption and climate risks management to manage the Group’s operational footprint.

The renovation project of our Bauhinia Hotel / Serviced Apartment (Central) in Hong Kong is expected to be completed in 2024. We have implemented various energy efficiency and waste management measures during construction stage to reduce our environmental impact. A refresh of the building façade with the BIPV (Building Integrated Photovoltaics) technology will be applied to the building, and that will be the first full envelope BIPV project in Hong Kong. This can help to reduce a building’s carbon footprint and energy savings by generating solar electricity which could connect to the grid.

Aiming to promote green and sustainable building design with good air and water quality management, we also certify our properties with sustainable building standards. Our Shenzhen Hon Kwok Centre was accredited with the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (“LEED”) Gold certification and WELL Health-Safety Rating (“WELL HSR”); the Hon Kwok Building in Guangzhou was also accredited with LEED v4 Gold Certification. There were a total of 2 properties held for investment that acquired green building certificates at the end of the Reporting Year. In the near future, we targeted to increase the number of properties with green building and certifications.
