HKGBC Zero-Carbon-Ready Building Certification

Launched in the third quarter of 2023, the Hong Kong Green Building Council’s Zero-Carbon-Ready Building Certification Scheme aims to foster a greener and more sustainable built environment through energy performance and green financing. Swire Properties has been heavily involved in the development of the scheme and is also a proud supporter, with 17 of our buildings receiving “Low” to “Super Low” ratings.

The scheme’s objectives are to provide tools and guidelines such that building owners can: 

• Benchmark and report the energy performance of their buildings.

• Set targets for carbon neutrality and progress tracking.

• Justify their improvement projects for green financing.

• Enhance their disclosure of building energy performance.

Six of our buildings received “Super Low” ratings on the landlord side, with two of them, One Taikoo Place and Two Pacific Place, receiving "Super Low" ratings for both landlord and whole building. One Island East received a “Low” rating for the whole building and has committed to improving its energy performance by one rating, to “Extra Low”, and to achieving a minimum of 10% energy savings by 2030. By doing so, One Island East is one of three buildings in Hong Kong to receive a Target Setting Certificate from the scheme.
