As we spend more than 90% of our time indoors, the built environment has a profound impact on our health, well-being and productivity. Sino Group has integrated wellness into its development projects, one of the Sustainability Vision 2030 goals is to achieve WELL™ certification for new projects in Hong Kong. In addition to 133 Portofino in Sai Kung, St. George’s Mansions in Kadoorie Avenue and Landmark South in Wong Chuk Hang, The Fullerton Ocean Park Hotel Hong Kong has recently obtained WELL v2™ pre-certification, becoming the first WELL™-accredited hotel in Hong Kong and Mainland China. WELL Building Standard™ is the world’s first architectural benchmark focusing exclusively on the health and well-being of residents.
To creating a more sustainable environment, Sino Group is collaborating with Shell and start-up, Halo, on installing EV charging stations at China Hong Kong City, which has become the largest network of EV charging stations in Tsim Sha Tsui. We believe that a comprehensive network of charging stations is crucial to promoting the wide adoption of electric vehicles, and will further expand the coverage of electric vehicle charging stations, with a target of over 1,400 by end-2022.
In additional, Sino Inno Lab has collaborated with EcoBricks to present a breakthrough circular economy solution by upcycling all the seven types of plastic into sustainable construction materials EcoBricks. The low-energy, 100% cold production process entails no heating or melting of waste plastic, eliminating harmful emissions, and up to 50% of aggregates in concrete bricks can be replaced with plastic waste, meaning that 2,000 kg of plastic waste can be diverted from landfills for every 100 square metres of EcoBricks produced. EcoBricks have been introduced at Gold Coast Piazza, Olympian City and The Fullerton Ocean Park Hotel Hong Kong.
Sino Group launched Farm Together, an integrated green community project, in 2020 to promote urban farming and bring the community closer to nature. The growing portfolio encompasses 17 farms in Hong Kong and one in Singapore, spanning over 54,000 sq ft and cultivating over 380 plant and crop species.
