By the numbers
Tenant Engagement and Performance
The Green Performance Pledge (GPP) has grown to include 256 tenants across Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland, representing approximately 70 percent of Swire Properties' occupied lettable floor area. This marks a 46 percent year-on-year increase in participation. Between April 2025 and March 2026, participating tenants saved enough water for over 18,000 household showers and enough electricity to power roughly 120 typical Hong Kong households for a year, while diverting over 270 tonnes of waste from landfills.
Operational Sustainability Initiatives
Swire Properties employs several targeted programs to embed sustainability into daily operations. The Green Kitchen Initiative, launched in 2017, works with over 150 dining outlets to optimize energy, water, and waste management before renovations begin. Additionally, the developer has partnered with LVMH and Kering to implement eco-design checklists and sustainable store planning. A reusable-container program at Taikoo Place has also diverted more than 60,000 single-use containers from landfills since its inception.
