Climate Ribbon at Brickell City Centre Sometimes the best solutions to modern problems can be found in nature. The Climate Ribbon at Brickell City Centre, Miami is a stunning, innovative canopy that acts as a sunshade, creates air flow and collects rainwater. In a similar way seen in the leaf structures of a tree canopy. And by also allowing natural light in to brighten the mall, it improves the area’s comfort and microclimate. Taking a leaf from leaves. That’s original. Green Performance Pledge Climate change is a challenge that the world needs to take on together. Our Green Performance Pledge (“GPP”) is a performance- based, landlord-tenant collaboration towards shared sustainability goals. The GPP guides companies to operate sustainably across entire tenancy cycle, from goal setting and action planning, to fit- out, operations, and results. Since the launch of the pilot in August 2021, over 21% of office tenants from our Hong Kong portfolios have signed up. And we aim to engage 50% of office tenants in our wholly-owned portfolios in Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland by 2025. As the saying goes, if you want to go far, go together. Joining forces for sustainability. That’s original. Measuring our performance with science. That’s original. A building that’s gone triple platinum. That’s original. Switching To 100% Renewable Energy. That’s original. Science-Based Targets It's one thing to talk about commitments to sustainability. It’s another to invest time, resources and scientific research towards making a measurable difference. Years ago, Swire Properties set a long-term vision to be the leading sustainable development performer globally by 2030. Words that needed to be supported by actions. So we set another target to reach net zero emissions by 2050. And in order to reach that target we became the first real estate developer across Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland with approved 1.5°C-aligned science-based targets . Using science to measure our performance. That’s original. One Taikoo Place It’s encouraging to see more and more new buildings aspiring to achieve green certifications. The greater the competition becomes for developers to reduce the climate impact, the better it is for all people and cities around the world. One Taikoo Place is the first commercial building in Hong Kong to receive three top Platinum sustainability awards, including the much coveted LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum rating. A building that’s gone triple platinum. That’s original. Taikoo Hui Guangzhou Renewable Energy When it comes to electricity consumption, net zero carbon is not an impossible dream. Taikoo Hui Guangzhou is a testament to what can be achieved. Since July 2021, the development, including a large retail mall, two Grade-A office towers and a 5-star hotel, has been 100% powered by renewable electricity. Equating to an annual reduction of over 12,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions and a big step towards Swire Properties’ company ambition to limit climate change to 1.5°C. Switching to 100% renewable energy. That’s original. Find out more of Swire Properties’ stories of originality here
