The Joint Venture will be registered in both the Chinese mainland and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, ensuring compliance with local laws and regulations and obtaining the necessary operating licenses.
In terms of quality enhancement, both parties will jointly invest resources to develop ERC eco-friendly, multi-functional new materials. These products will primarily be applied to eco-friendly building materials and new construction materials, aiming to improve the environmental performance and health standards of buildings, promote innovation and development in the construction industry, and achieve new quality productive forces, providing more eco-friendly options for future construction projects.
In terms of market expansion, the Joint Venture will actively explore domestic and international markets, aiming for extensive market recognition and promoting products through various channels, including exhibitions, industry forums, and online platforms. This collaboration marks an in-depth cooperation between the two companies in the field of green technology, aiming to address the environmental challenges faced by the construction industry and achieve positive results in industrial optimization and upgrading, cooperating with relevant industry associations and government departments to promote the formulation and implementation of green building standards.
In terms of efficiency enhancement, the new products will not only focus on environmental protection but also pay special attention to the health of humans and pets. The Joint Venture will conduct rigorous product testing to ensure safety and effectiveness, and the development of eco-friendly, multifunctional new materials can lower costs, improve the environmental performance and resource efficiency of construction projects, and contribute to a more systematic and comprehensive consideration of the development process of carbon neutrality.
Comprehensive Cultivation of Low-Carbon Awareness to Support Carbon Neutrality Goals
Dr. David Chung, Chairman of APEL, summarized, "The results of this cooperation project are of great significance for the development of Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area. This is not only an important step for us in the field of green buildings; the project is dedicated to promoting the low-carbon transformation of Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area, helping to achieve carbon neutrality goals. This will contribute to environmental protection and ecological balance in the region, enhancing overall environmental quality. The establishment and operation of the Joint Venture will drive the development of related industries, create job opportunities, and promote economic growth; the successful promotion of the project will also attract more investment, further advancing regional economic development.
As the demand for green real estate and property management services increases among RCEP member countries, we will strengthen cooperation with various sectors in the region. By expanding domestic and international markets, the project will enhance Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area's position and influence in the international environmental protection industry, increasing regional competitiveness and innovation capability. At the same time, this project pays special attention to the health of humans and pets by developing safe and eco-friendly building materials to improve the health standards of living environments. This will help enhance residents' overall health and reduce health risks. Overall, this project not only promotes the development of the environmental protection industry but will also make significant contributions to the sustainable development and low-carbon transformation of Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area."
