necessary knowledge to help Tenant formulate suitable sustainable strategies.
Furthermore, these specialists would also have the ability to assist potential Tenants

understanding of sustainability in office, they may for example:
• Take part in related professional courses
• Take part in workshops and seminars organized by relevant institutions or
organisations, such as the HKGBC, BEAM Society and so on
Once stakeholders have obtained the necessary knowledge, they can implement
what they have learnt in workshops and seminars. For example, this can include
thinking with a comprehensive sustainable mindset or the adoption of sustainable
behaviours.
