About the Model

The HKSAR Chief Executive had announced in the 2017 Policy Address to position Hong Kong as an Asia’s green finance hub for raising green capital. In view of the substantial GDP contributed by the construction sector annually, the construction industry has a high potential to meet the trend of green finance. Thus, there is a need to well define the green standard and system to facilitate the application of green finance in construction industry.

The Model aims to act as an interactive guide on environmental practices and advanced technologies for construction projects which is compatible with international green bond/loan principle. Green finance can mobilise capital for green and low carbon investments in the construction industry. Public owners, developers, contractors and suppliers could issue green financial instruments for funding their projects with reference to the guideline of this model.
