Swire Properties – Hong Kong
Overview
In 2024, Swire Properties, a leading Hong Kong property developer, partnered with Future Green to elevate their Green Kitchen Initiative, originally launched in 2017. This collaboration aimed to deepen food sustainability practices among Swire’s F&B tenants through a series of capacity-building and capability development workshops, designed to strengthen operational sustainability and cross-team collaboration.
Swire Properties Hong Kong The Challenge
Many F&B businesses whether QSR chains, single outlets, or high end, struggle with implementing sustainable practices due to a lack of clear guidance. While issues like waste management and energy efficiency are well-known, translating awareness into actionable steps remains a hurdle.
Our Approach
Future Green and Swire Properties co-designed an interactive workshop series focused on delivering practical, measurable sustainability actions. The collaboration integrated environmental and social advice, ensuring that sustainability strategies aligned with Swire’s broader ESG objectives and community commitments.
The series also considered elements of organisational design, helping teams align roles, processes, and communications around shared sustainability priorities.
The key elements included:
- Sailboat Exercise – This activity helped participants identify operational strengths and challenges, particularly in areas such as kitchen recycling and waste segregation.
- Green Kitchen Matching Game – Designed as a dynamic engagement tool, it familiarised tenants with the Green Kitchen 3.0 Audit while aligning sustainability pillars with practical actions.
- Impact-Effort Matrix – By assessing potential impact versus effort required, this strategic tool guided teams in prioritising key tasks like consumer education and expanding sustainable sourcing networks.
- Gaps in Action Assessment – Using a visual, colour-coded system, this assessment enabled quick identification of areas needing improvement within the Green Kitchen framework.
Our highly engaging workshops led to significant progress:
- Clearer Roadmaps – With structured guidance, participants transformed abstract sustainability concepts into tangible, actionable steps.
- Greater Engagement – Through an interactive format, the workshops fostered collaboration and motivated tenants to take an active role in sustainability efforts.
- Measurable Improvements – Post-workshop assessments highlighted progress in energy efficiency, waste reduction, and overall environmental performance among participating tenants.
The programme also emphasised training and development implementation, equipping teams with the skills and frameworks needed to embed sustainability into daily operations. This structured approach supported ongoing capability development across business units and encouraged a culture of diversity and inclusion in sustainability leadership.
