Hang Lung’s Changemakers Programme Drives Collaboration and Impact with Tenants
Hang Lung Properties shares the progress of its nationwide sustainability initiative, Changemakers: Tenant Partnerships on Sustainability, which was launched in December 2023, and now has 16 participants. The Programme, which is available to all tenants at Hang Lung in Hong Kong and mainland China – fosters collaboration, impact and recognition through sustainability actions.
The Changemakers Programme offers a variety of sustainability actions to tenants of all sizes in sectors such as office, retail, food and beverage (F&B), and hospitality to reduce carbon emissions, minimise waste, advance circularity, and enhance community wellbeing. Participants can choose to participate at either the “Foundational” or “Advanced” level. The Programme brings value to participants by offering capacity-building resources, energy performance benchmarking, technical services and support, volunteering opportunities, and recognition for their ESG efforts.
Mr Weber LO, Chief Executive Officer of Hang Lung Properties, said, "Sustainability calls for businesses and other stakeholders to join forces, and landlords and tenants can collaborate in the built environment. Hang Lung warmly invites like-minded tenants to join our Changemakers Programme and become part of a vibrant sustainability community. Through concrete actions and sharing best practices, we can achieve a meaningful collective impact.”
Since its launch in December 2023, the Changemakers Programme has enlisted a diverse range of companies as pilot participants across 14 properties, together comprising a total leased area of more than 78,000 square meters. These forward-looking companies are taking tangible steps towards improved climate resilience, resource management, and wellbeing.
Hang Lung works to integrate ESG initiatives throughout its business, from construction to daily operations. These efforts align with its ambitious sustainability goals for 2025, 2030, and 2050. Recent notable initiatives include a 'Lightwise' programme that promotes nationwide energy efficiency, with an impressive 93% tenant participation rate across Mainland Properties; collaboration with selected tenants and suppliers on low carbon concrete bricks and gypsum board; and engagement with strategic suppliers on sustainable procurement practices. These initiatives exemplify Hang Lung's mission to connect stakeholders for sustainable growth and positive change.
