Hong Kong, 12 August 2025 – The highly anticipated Hong Kong Green Building Week 2025 (HKGBW 2025), co-organised by the Construction Industry Council (CIC) and the Hong Kong Green Building Council (HKGBC), is set to take place from 19 to 28 September 2025. Now in its thirteenth edition, the campaign continues to engage the public in the green building movement with an exciting lineup of activities and a host of celebrity ambassadors supporting the theme: “Green Building Get Set GOAL · Race to Carbon Neutrality”!
To echo the momentum of the 15th National Games, popular singer NG Yip-kwan (James) joins the campaign as an ambassador for the first time in a TV advertisement as a karate athlete, alongside former Hong Kong cycling team member Vivian MA, Hong Kong table tennis player Chelsea CHAN, and Hong Kong, China U22 basketball player Ryan CHAK. The four Green Building Ambassadors gathered at GO PARK Sai Sha, Hong Kong's first outdoor sports park built and operated by a private developer, for the filming a TV advertisement. Fully sponsored by Sun Hung Kai Properties, the location provided an ideal backdrop for showcasing the ambassadors engaging in their respective sports.
This year, we are excited to introduce the lively and charming “GB Friends”: Flora, Little Green, Savvy, Sunny, Windy, Bot and Dot in the TV ad. Their cute appearances certainly leave a lasting impression of green building design. With pre-heat activity “Let’s GOAL Biz-Green Dress Day” and three major activities - “Let’s GOAL! Green Building Fair”, “Let’s GOAL! Green Transport X Building Tour” and “Let’s GOAL! Green Building Guided Tour”, the campaign is set to stir up a green building movement and attract the public to race towards the carbon neutrality goal.
