The CLP Group marked a significant milestone with the grand opening of its new headquarters in the revitalized Kai Tak district, formerly the site of Hong Kong’s iconic airport. The relocation underscores CLP’s commitment to supporting the Hong Kong SAR government’s vision of transforming Kai Tak into a vibrant community and economic hub.

As the first corporate entity to establish a headquarters in the redeveloped district, CLP is paving the way for further growth in the area, which also features landmarks such as the new Kai Tak Sports Park. The state-of-the-art headquarters, designed to be one of Hong Kong’s greenest buildings, symbolizes CLP’s leadership in advancing sustainability while positioning the company for opportunities in the energy transition.

The grand opening ceremony was hosted by CLP Holdings Chairman, the Honorable Sir Michael Kadoorie, and officiated by key dignitaries, including Secretary for Environment and Ecology Tse Chin-wan, Deputy Commissioner of the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China in the Hong Kong SAR Li Yongsheng, and Deputy Director-General of the Department of Economic Affairs of the Central People’s Government Liaison Office in the Hong Kong SAR Lu Feng.

Michael Kadoorie highlighted CLP’s deep roots in Hong Kong, stating: “The new CLP Headquarters is a symbol of our confidence in Hong Kong and our commitment to its future. It reflects our purpose to Power Brighter Tomorrows.”

Tse praised the building’s innovative design, noting its alignment with Hong Kong’s Climate Action Plan and its role as a catalyst for decarbonization.

The headquarters’ architecture blends traditional Chinese design elements, such as folding screens and sailing junks, with modern sustainability features. Housing around 1,000 employees, it incorporates highly efficient water fixtures, carbon-negative materials, and high-performance glazing, achieving a 25% reduction in carbon emissions and earning platinum-level environmental certifications like LEED and BEAM Plus.

This development represents CLP’s enduring partnership with Hong Kong and its dedication to a sustainable and prosperous future.
