Recognition underscores Atlas’ commitment to sustainability and collaboration
For the fourth year, Atlas’ Hong Kong office has been recognized in the Green Performance Pledge (GPP) program, earning a Gold Rating for Operational Environmental Performance from Swire Properties. The award reflects the team’s continued efforts to operate more sustainably and engage employees in meaningful environmental action.

The GPP, launched by Swire Properties in 2020, brings together more than 100 tenant organizations to drive measurable progress in reducing energy use, conserving water, and managing waste. Since joining the program in 2021, Atlas has earned multiple top-tier GPP ratings including Platinum (2021), Silver (2022) and Gold (2024).
“Programs like the GPP reinforce how local action contributes to global progress,” said Katherine Preston, Staff Vice President, Sustainability. “It’s encouraging to see our people recognized for the role we play in helping Atlas meet its environmental commitments and a reminder of what we can do at the individual office level to be more engaged.”
A Focus on Day-to-Day Impact
Over the past year, the team implemented several practical improvements in the Hong Kong office, such as adding water-saving devices, HVAC systems servicing to improve efficiency, and ongoing monitoring of energy usage throughout the year. These local actions complement Atlas’ broader sustainability strategy, which includes investments in fuel efficiency, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and other enterprise-wide initiatives.
“This recognition is a result of our collective efforts and the sustainable culture our team in Hong Kong has built,” said Gladis Li, Assistant Manager, Sustainability, who accepted the award on behalf of the Company. “Receiving this recognition for the fourth year is both humbling and energizing. It reminds us of the collective impact we can make when sustainability becomes part of our everyday operations.”
Sharing Knowledge and Building Community
In addition to receiving the Gold Award, Gladis was invited to speak at the GPP Forum
in 2024 where she joined leaders from Boston Consulting Group, JLL, APG, and others to discuss sustainable workplace strategies. She also plays a leading role in the GPP Academy, an educational platform that supports participating companies through workshops and knowledge-sharing.
Atlas’ involvement has helped shape best practices across the GPP community—fostering a stronger, more collaborative approach to sustainability.
