The year 2025 marks the 16th anniversary of the Hong Kong Green Building Council (HKGBC), and we were excited to celebrate this milestone at the 16th Anniversary cum Chinese New Year Cocktail held on 4 February 2026 at Centricity – Concentric. More than 230 industry leaders and distinguished guests attended the occasion, which was honoured by the presence of Mr David LAM, JP, Under Secretary for Development as the Guest of Honour, including Government Officials, and HKGBC’s Founding Members, Directors, Members and Working Partners. The gathering marked a meaningful moment to reflect on shared achievements and reaffirm collective commitment to a greener built environment.

In the Welcome Remarks, Dr CHEUNG Tin‑cheung, SBS, Chairman of HKGBC, highlighted the Council’s progress over the past year and the growing impact of its initiatives across Hong Kong’s green building landscape and beyond. Mr David LAM, JP, Under Secretary for Development commended the Council’s long-standing leadership and recognised the strengthened international visibility and credibility of BEAM Plus. As the evening’s Venue Sponsor, Hongkong Land Limited – a Platinum Patron Member of HKGBC – was represented by Mr Raymond WONG, Executive Director and Chief Development Officer, he reiterated its commitment to sustainable development and ongoing collaboration with the Council. A special highlight was the insightful sharing by Ms Grace Kwok, Director of both the World Green Building Council and Hong Kong Green Building Council, who underscored Hong Kong’s leadership in advancing resilient, decarbonised buildings regionally and globally, supported by government and market actions, as well as financial readiness.

The celebration reached an inspiring peak with the graduation of the 2nd cohort of Green Building Young Leaders (GBYLs) and the official unveiling of the GBYL Alumni, a memorable moment symbolising the passing of the torch and the nurturing of the next generation of green building talent. 

Looking forward, the HKGBC will continue to advance BEAM Plus, champion new initiatives, deepen cross‑sector collaboration, and cultivate emerging green building talent. Together with the wider industry and community, we are fully committed to steering Hong Kong towards hashtag#CarbonNeutrality by 2050 and cementing the city’s position as a global leader in hashtag#GreenBuilding excellence.

A heartfelt thanks to our Venue Sponsor, Hongkong Land Limited, for generously sponsoring the venue and catering for the evening. Its steadfast dedication to hashtag#Sustainability and innovation keeps uplifting and inspiring the city’s pursuit of green, healthy, and experience‑centred living.
