Progress to net zero: Reducing our science-based target carbon emissions
Hongkong Land has achieved a 33.3% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions against the 2019 baseline. The Company has also improved its commercial waste diversion rate to 48%, progressing to the 2030 target which is set at 50%.
By enhancing its bespoke embodied carbon tools and updating its emissions factor databases, the Company successfully advanced the granularity of its sustainability efforts along the supply chain. Beyond these achievements, Hongkong Land has reduced operational disruption and increased asset value through enhancement upgrades and energy efficiency measures with an estimated annual savings of US$1 million.
Reinvesting in existing assets to accelerate decarbonisation pathway
Hongkong Land has a long history of reinvesting in existing assets, ensuring each building not only withstands the test of time but also meets the latest global green building certification standards.
In 2024, Hongkong Land’s sustainability efforts were once again recognised by esteemed ESG indices and rating agencies such as Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB), the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index, and the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2025.
Hongkong Land has set a new benchmark in the city by becoming the first developer to achieve “Triple Platinum” status across its entire Hong Kong commercial portfolio. 96% of Hongkong Land’s leasing portfolio has attained the second-highest ratings or above for green building certification, and 70% of the portfolio is WELL certified. The Company is committed to maintaining the highest efficiency of its existing buildings, continuously reducing its existing portfolio’s carbon footprint and steadily progressing towards the goal of 100% certification for existing leasing portfolios by 2030.
Always forward: Collaborating with tenants and partners to have greater positive environmental impact
The Tenant Sustainability Partnership Programme (TSPP) was launched in 2023 to cultivate collaboration between Hongkong Land and its tenants. By the end of the first year, 23% of the Company’s total Central lettable office area – over 840,000 sq. ft. – had joined the TSPP. The TSPP has since expanded to properties on the Chinese mainland.
Demolition materials account for a large proportion of a project’s total construction waste. Hongkong Land conducted a circularity study before the commencement of Tomorrow’s CENTRAL and set a 75% waste diversion rate target. The Company collaborated with contractors, suppliers and academia to identify reuse, recycle and waste reduction opportunities throughout the project.
Mr Michael Smith, Chief Executive of Hongkong Land, said: “Meeting a number of our 2030 sustainability targets ahead of schedule reflects our commitment to a sustainable future as we think in generations and create lasting value for all our stakeholders. ESG leadership is fundamental to our operations, and these milestones demonstrate our ability to align business excellence with sustainable values.”

Green SM Named “Best EV Carpooling App” In the Asia-Pacific Region

Published

on

Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam – Media OutReach Newswire – 2 March 2026 – GreenSM has been honored at the Sensor Tower APAC Awards 2025 with the title of “Best EV Carpooling App.” The annual awards program, organized by global digital intelligence firm Sensor Tower, recognizes mobile applications demonstrating outstanding performance across the AsiaPacific region.

Award recipients are evaluated entirely based on independent performance data, including key indicators such as downloads, monthly active users (MAU), growth rates, in-app purchase revenue, and user engagement. These metrics reflect sustained operational effectiveness and performance over time. Green SM’s recognition not only marks a breakthrough for the brand but also demonstrates consistent growth and sufficient operational stability to be recognized at a regional level.

According to the published results, Green SM achieved 114.4% year-on-year MAU growth in 2025 and ranked No. 1 in downloads among EV-focused carpooling platforms in the region. This performance reflects steady expansion across the company’s operating markets, including Vietnam, Laos, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

Behind these growth figures lies a systematically built operational foundation. Green SM maintains that growth is only sustainable when accompanied by the ability to deliver consistent service quality across all operating markets. Scaling its electric fleet while ensuring a uniform and reliable user experience has remained a central priority throughout the company’s development.

This operational stability benefits both sides of the platform. Passengers experience transparent, dependable services, while the Green Driver community operates within a clearly structured, long-term-oriented work environment. For Green SM, growth and quality control are pursued in parallel as two core pillars of sustainable development.

Mr. Nguyen Van ThanhGlobal CEO of Green SM stated: “Recognition through an independent data evaluation system affirms that the fully electric mobility model we are pursuing is on the right track. More important than growth speed is the trust we earn from users in every market where we operate. That trust motivates us to continuously refine our fully electric mobility model, ensuring stable operations, structured technology deployment, and sustainable long-term development.”

In the context of an increasingly competitive mobile application landscape, recognition grounded in independent performance data demonstrates that Green SM’s growth is built on a structured, scalable operational platform. The ability of an electric mobility model to achieve strong regional growth while maintaining consistent service quality confirms that this is no longer an experimental alternative, but a practical direction for modern urban transportation.

Previously, Green SM was also honored at the VnExpress Tech Awards 2025 with the titles “Outstanding Ride-Hailing App” and “Vietnamese Tech Brand of the Year,” and received the “CXP Best Customer Experience Award,” which recognized its implementation capabilities and consistent operational standards across the system.
