Arup has achieved exceptional success at the Green Building Award 2025, securing 13 prestigious accolades and reaffirming its position as an industry leader in sustainable development.
Among these distinctions is the highly coveted ‘Green Building Leadership Pioneer Award (Consultants Category)’, recognising Arup’s exemplary performance, strategic vision, and longstanding commitment to shaping a more sustainable and resilient built environment.
Arup’s award-winning portfolio spans new and existing buildings, research and planning, as well as building products and technologies.
The recognitions highlight the firm’s contributions to institutional, commercial, and residential projects across both completed and ongoing developments, as well as its continued leadership in low-carbon design, advanced building management systems, carbon neutrality strategies, and research into nature-based carbon removal solutions.
For decades, Arup has helped define the sustainability agenda in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area.
Through its multidisciplinary expertise, integrating engineering, science, planning, digital technologies, and advisory capabilities, the firm has delivered solutions that strengthen climate resilience, accelerate decarbonisation, and enhance urban liveability.
As a trusted partner to clients across the public and private sectors, Arup applies global knowledge and local insights to address complex challenges and support long-term, future-ready development.
The GBA judging panel commended Arup for being the first in the industry to commit to net zero emissions in 2019 and for setting an ambitious carbon reduction target for 2040.
The panel also recognised the firm’s leadership in assessing climate risk for coastal cities, its contributions to government decision-making, and its global influence in elevating Hong Kong’s green building standards.
Arup’s efforts to nurture emerging sustainability talent, along with its rigorous approach to double materiality assessment and whole-life-cycle analysis, underscore its dedication to shaping cities that are equitable, resilient, and enduring.
Theresa Yeung, East Asia Managing Principal of Arup, said, “These awards reflect the trust our clients place in us and the innovative spirit of our multidisciplinary teams. We will continue to advance low-carbon solutions, smart technologies, and people-centred design to shape more liveable and climate-resilient cities across Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area.
