Hong Kong REIT opens sustainability education centre

Link REIT has launched a sustainability education and collaboration centre.

The Hong Kong real estate investment trust’s Link Sustainability Lab, a 6,800 sq ft venue in Lok Fu Place, Kowloon, aims to integrate the best practices of sustainability into people's everyday life and business operations.

Link chairman Nicholas Allen said: "In this easily accessible Lab, Link will illustrate how the long-term vision of sustainability can be broken down into many actionable pathways and achievable smaller goals. By making sustainability accessible, actionable and achievable, Link hopes to popularise sustainability knowledge and demonstrate that sustainability can be adopted by everyone in the community as a viable lifestyle and business model."

The first exhibition is a called Take Eat Seriously and explores the connection between the modern food system and people’s daily lives. It also features a sustainable Cha Chaan Teng (traditional Hong Kong café) demonstration unit to how a traditional F&B operation can be made sustainable through multiple small changes.
