By obtaining green financing through green bonds, green loans and sustainability-linked loans, we not only support the transition to a low-carbon, more resource-efficient and sustainable economy, we also reaffirm our commitment to sustainable development, and to designing and developing sustainable projects that improve the wellbeing of building occupants and local communities. We have targeted to achieving a minimum of 50% of bond and loan facilities from green financing by 2025 and 80% by 2030.
