As of the end of December 2024, BEAM Plus has recorded over 2,700 registered projects, involving more than 8,700 buildings, covering a total floor area of over 92 million square metres. At the core of every BEAM Plus rating lies the unwavering dedication and hard work of the project team. 

In recognition of these remarkable achievements, the Hong Kong Green Building Council (HKGBC) is expressing its sincere appreciation to all project teams by introducing a new service to recognise their contributions. From now on, the HKGBC is delighted to send representatives to present a BEAM Plus plaque or certificate at the project's opening ceremony or other event. 

The HKGBC’s management eagerly anticipates the opportunity to join these events and celebrate your BEAM Plus accomplishments. To avail yourself of this exclusive service, simply complete the Request Form, and the HKGBC Secretariat will promptly reach out to facilitate the process. Elevate your event with HKGBC’s presence and create unforgettable moments of recognition and achievement!

To further encourage the public to adopt greener shopping practices, the HKGBC will launch a Facebook campaign featuring six giveaways following the TV series. Participants are invited to watch “Smart and Green Shopping” to deepen their understanding of green shopping and then answer related questions. Participants will have a chance to win cash vouchers or green products sponsored by the Award winners. The campaign will kick off in March—stay tuned to the HKGBC Facebook page for updates!

Organised by the Hong Kong Green Building Council and funded by the Construction Industry Council, the Hong Kong Green Shop Alliance is committed to fostering collaboration between shopping malls and shops to promote a green shopping environment in Hong Kong. Since 2019, the Alliance has established the HKGSA Award to recognise outstanding environmental achievements in the retail industry.
