Towards Net-Zero Impact Target: Great Eagle Group and CLPe Jointly Accelerate Green Transformation Across Properties
Mr Alexander LO, Executive Director of Great Eagle Group (right), and Mr Ringo NG, Managing Director of CLPe (left), attend the Memorandum of Understanding signing ceremony.
Great Eagle Group and CLPe have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strategically accelerate the green transformation across Great Eagle Group's property portfolio in Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland. This collaboration marks a significant milestone on Great Eagle's sustainability journey, supporting its target to achieve net-zero impact by 2045.
Taking Cordis, Hong Kong, a hotel owned by Langham Hospitality Investments Limited under Great Eagle, as the starting point, the project will be delivered under the Build‑Own‑Operate‑Transfer (BOOT) model over a 15-year period. CLPe will design a new-generation high‑efficiency water‑cooled air-conditioning system tailored to the hotel and be responsible for its operation and maintenance. Equipped with AI technologies for system monitoring, intelligent control and data management, the new system will reduce electricity consumption by approximately 40% compared with the existing system, equivalent to a reduction of around 600 tonnes of carbon emissions a year. The new system is scheduled to commence full operation in the second quarter of 2027.

The one-stop Cooling-as-a-Service project at Cordis, Hong Kong is the first collaboration between Great Eagle and CLPe.
The MoU also establishes a broader blueprint for future collaboration. Both parties will continue to explore low-carbon transformation solutions applicable to Great Eagle’s flagship properties in Hong Kong and look into extending these to hotel properties in the Chinese Mainland. Energy management and energy-saving solutions will be tailored to the operational needs of individual properties, accelerating the decarbonisation progress across the overall property portfolio. The scope of exploration encompasses one-stop energy solutions, covering renewable energy applications, battery energy storage systems, electric vehicle charging facilities and smart energy solutions, fully supporting Great Eagle’s Climate Leadership Strategy.
Furthermore, both parties will consolidate project implementation experience and operational data to jointly develop a "Low-Carbon Impact Building Playbook" with net-zero impact as its objective. The Playbook will provide practical guidance across building planning, design, daily operations and upgrade retrofits, offering the industry a reference framework in pursuing low‑carbon transformation.
Looking ahead, Great Eagle Group will actively drive the green transformation of its properties to inject new momentum into urban sustainable development and jointly build a low-carbon, green future.
