Hang Lung Properties has expanded the number of electrical vehicle (EV) charging stations across its properties in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, making the company on track of its target to exceed local regulations requirements for the provision of EV charging facilities by the end of 2025.
The move is also part of its commitment of reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across company’s value chain by 2050, which is in line with the Hong Kong government’s goal to achieve carbon neutrality at the same time period.
EV charging facilities which are compatible with most EVs, are available across Hang Lung properties in the Central Business District and the city's prime tourist areas, namely Peak Galleria, Hang Lung Centre, Kornhill Plaza, Gala Place, Amoy Plaza, and the Canton Road Carpark, representing a 60% increase year-on-year compared to 2021.
Hang Lung collaborated with Sime Darby Motor Group to provide EV charging facilities at these properties.
"Hang Lung aspires to create compelling spaces that enrich lives and pursues sustainable growth in the community,” said Helen Lau, deputy director and head of Hong Kong business operation at Hang Lung.
“We believe the expanded coverage of our EV stations at strategic locations of our properties in Hong Kong will provide our customers with a sustainable shopping experience."

Climate resilience is one of the real estate developer’s four sustainability priorities, with a well-integrated set of short-, medium- and long-term goals, targets and KPIs.
Recently, Hang Lung attained several significant achievements on this front. These achievements show Hang Lung is taking concrete action to embed sustainability in all aspects of its work to realise the ambition of becoming one of the world's most sustainable real estate companies.
For one, the company launched a sustainability partnership with the LVMH group, a first-of-its-kind collaboration between property owners and leading retail brands.
Furthermore, Parc 66 has become the first commercial property in Jinan and Shandong Province to be 100% powered by renewable energy, taking the renewable electricity mix in the company's mainland China properties to almost 25%.
