Our President Mr. Kevin Chu was honored to be invited to the Launch Ceremony of the “Net Zero Corporate Framework Assessment and Awards” organised by the Green Council on 17 July 2026, celebrating its 25th Anniversary.

This initiative supports Hong Kong’s Climate Action Plan 2050, introducing an independent evaluation framework to assess corporate net zero strategies and recognize outstanding carbon reduction achievements. For the property management sector, it is a valuable opportunity to raise sustainability standards, strengthen professional recognition, and align industry practices with international climate goals. At the same time, it promotes talent development and innovation, helping practitioners build resilience and long term competitiveness while contributing to Hong Kong’s low carbon future.

Our Association remains committed to supporting professional development and advancing sustainability, actively driving long term progress in the property management industry’s net zero transformation.

Honoured to have our Past President, Dr. Johnnie CHAN, as a guest speaker at the seminar hosted by the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions on 11 July 2026.

Key message from Dr. Chan:
The importance of hiring licensed property management companies – they directly employ professionals including, but not limited to, Registered Professional Housing Manager, Certified Public Accountants, Chartered Engineers, Surveyors, Registered Architects, Safety Officers, Property Management Practitioner Tier 1 or 2 licence holders, among others.

Strengthen Property Management Services Authority (PMSA) & Urban Renewal Authority (URA) – use existing resources to boost their roles and manpower, and collaborate with licensed Property Managment firms to manage major building repairs, enhancing public trust.
