Hang Lung Further Expands Coverage of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations in the City’s Prime Locations and Tourist Spots

HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 13 February 2023 - Hang Lung Properties (the "Company" or "Hang Lung", SEHK stock code: 00101) is committed to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its value chain by 2050.

The Company has invested resources to expand the coverage of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations across its properties in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. This will help promote sustainable transport as a means to reduce emissions in the city, and contribute to the Hong Kong Government's goal to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
