Hong Kong Green Building Week 2018

API (Announcements in the Public Interests) airtime has been granted by the Information Services Department in all major TV and radio channels to promote the HKGBW.

HKGBW 2018 API will be broadcasted from the end-August for a month long. Please stay tuned for the premiere!

To echo another HKGBC initiative - Hong Kong Green Shop Alliance, we will partner with Alliance members on advocating green shopping culture.

Wrapping cloth is not only an eco-friendly option but also coming back as a popular culture in various cities. Unlike paper and plastic bags, wrapping cloth can be reused and therefore could ease the environmental concern. ‘Shop and Wrap’ calls for action among shoppers by changing their attitude and behaviour via our own version of ‘G-Wrapper’.

The HKGBW also echoes the World Green Building Week, a worldwide flagship campaign organised by the World Green Building Council (WorldGBC).

World Green Building Week is an annual event that aims to motivate and empower us all to deliver greener buildings. This year, the theme is 'green homes'. The goal is to generate widespread awareness of the benefits of a greener home and highlight practical ways to make a home greener. The World Green Building Week 2018 will take place from 24 - 30 September.
