The Loop features a recycling centre, food waste composter, “eco-art” installation and edible garden, among other exhibitions. The 4,000 sq ft space encourages tenants and the wider community to “close the loop” by incorporating sustainable practices into their business operations and daily lives. In July, INDIGO in Beijing also unveiled The Loop – a multipurpose space to engage employees, tenants and business partners on SD initiatives. There has also been a renewed focus on urban farming during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, we extended The Loop’s urban farming and community engagement concept to other properties across Hong Kong in partnership with Rooftop Republic, a social enterprise focused on urban farming. This year, One Pacific Place became the fifth space under our “The Loop” concept, providing over 1,600 sq ft of urban farm area. In 2022, our five urban farms in Hong Kong Produced Harvested 36 varieties ~500kg of crops of crops Donated Engaged ~275 kg >1,350 to Feeding Hong Kong participants The Loop at Citygate Launched in June 2021, The Loop at Citygate has created the opportunity for all 19 One Citygate office tenants to experience farming in an urban context. During the four farming seasons in 2022, office tenants cultivated a dozen types of herbs and vegetables, enjoying their harvest when the e crops were ready. This urban farm mploys strict organic farming practices without using any industrial or conventional chemical fertilisers or pesticides. The Loop at Citygate has rejuvenated the rooftop area, become a relaxing place where the participants can get close to nature, and supported local arts and culture through the commission of a farm-themed mural on the rooftop. Overall, the farm is another example of Swire Properties’ community-building efforts and our work to improve the wellbeing of our employees and our office tenants.
