Sustainability Feature Stories

Leading by Example: Hong Kong’s First Zero-Carbon Chiller System Project

The real estate sector is one of the largest carbon emitters in the world. We are well aware that decarbonising our buildings is necessary to stop the escalation of climate change. This is why we are eager to lead changes in how developers reduce emissions and accelerate our climate transition through collaborating with other sustainability leaders.

One Beat, One World: Connecting Through the Drum

In 2023, as the world sought healing from the global health crisis, we collaborated with the Hong Kong Chinese Orchestra (“HKCO”) to present a series of drumming events called 'One Beat, One World: Connecting Through the Drum' to instil positivity and connectivity within the community and spread joy across 18 districts.

Home² Youth Hostel Programme

The Group has been a strong believer in our youth, who will be the leaders and change-makers of the future. We strive to provide all possible support for youth and generate a future where youth can thrive with confidence. Nina Hospitality, in response to the Youth Development Blueprint—Youth Hostel Programme launched by the Hong Kong SAR Government, has established a 5-year collaboration with Y.Elite Association to launch and operate the Home² Youth Hostel project, as we are eager to be part of the residing youth’ life journeys, and provide them with our care and support. The project also aligned with our commitment to 3Ps, which is to actively support our community through diverse initiatives, particularly those focused on society and youth development.

Nina Park: The Urban Park with The Largest Wood Fossil Collection in Asia

In the bustling metropolis of Hong Kong, a new chapter in urban sustainability is unfolding at Nina Park. Nina Park is our second “Playground for All” project, which has been renovated to provide visitors with an engaging and refreshing experience. This Hong Kong's first and only wood fossil park spans approximately 70,000 square feet and features an extraordinary collection of museum-grade wood fossils with millions of years of history. Designed to be an 'edutainment' park, this exciting landmark aims to engage visitors in a journey to the Earth's past and provide a new way to experience nature and sustainability through actively learning and enjoying all of the park's green features.

Chinachem Group Sustainability Conference 2022

While we are leading changes internally in our organisation, we also hope to ignite changes in thoughts and actions on sustainability in the community. Our annual Chinachem Group Sustainability Conference is one of our initiatives where we take sustainability leadership and accelerate society’s transition to a sustainable future, especially in the real estate industry. The 3rd Chinachem Group Sustainability Conference, themed 'Creating Social Impact on the Zero Carbon Journey in Hong Kong', was successfully concluded on 24 October 2022. We invited 15 distinguished speakers from various sectors, including government, academia, architectural bodies, technology and finance, who graciously shared their valuable experiences and insights with over 1,700 participants, both online and offline.
