At Swire Properties, 'Social Responsibility' is one of our corporate values, ensuring that at all times we respect the environment we share with others. 

The Company is committed to ensuring that environmental considerations are an integral part of decision-making, management and culture. Environmentally responsible measures and initiatives will enhance the quality of life of the community in which the new developments are undertaken.

Swire Properties was the first property development and management company to employ a designated Environmental Affairs Manager. The Company has an Environmental, Health & Safety Steering Committee made up of representatives from various departments, to develop initiatives and to communicate the environmental policies of Swire Group and Swire Properties.

The Company is one of the founding members of the Steering Committee overseeing development of the Hong Kong Building Environmental Assessment Method (HK-BEAM) scheme. HK-BEAM is a voluntary scheme that sets criteria for good environmental performance in buildings; performance that is recognised through an independently issued certificate. It defines good practice criteria for a range of environmental issues relating to the design, operation, maintenance and management of buildings. HK-BEAM is an initiative by the Real Estate Developers Association (REDA).
