Customer Wellbeing
To safeguard the health of our tenants and their customers, we completed the upgrade of our air filtration system in all our properties in mainland China in 2019 under our Clean Air Initiative. In Hong Kong, we obtained the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Certificates issued by the Environmental Protection Department for those properties with medical tenants, to demonstrate our commitment to their expectation of a healthy space for their business operations.
Community Wellbeing
Other than giving back to society by means of our community investment, we recognize that cultural conservation is vital for sustainability. We aim to strike a balance between conserving local heritage and adding vibrancy to local communities. We have carefully considered the planning, building and operations of our developments by restoring, preserving and integrating historical buildings into our project designs wherever possible. In recent years we conserved several historical buildings, please click here for more details.
