Hong Kong’s well-developed green finance system and international platform provide us with unique advantages to integrate resources and expand into new markets. Moving forward, we will continue to leverage the city’s role as a ‘super connector’ to introduce advanced solid waste treatment technologies to the world and contribute to the global goal of carbon neutrality.
SUS ENVIRONMENT is a global leading comprehensive environmental services provider, with operations spanning Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and other markets. The company specialises in the investment, construction, and operation of waste-to-energy plants, drawing on extensive experience and cutting-edge solutions in the sector.
Tom Shi, Executive Vice President, Head of Finance & Operations, Head of Risk Management and Senior Economist of SUS International, stated, “As a hub for green finance and green technology, Hong Kong offers innovative strengths in sustainable finance and robust capital market capabilities, providing us with a vital bridge to connect global capital with environmental projects.”
Hong Kong’s Advantages and Development Plans
Shi highlighted that Hong Kong’s well-established financial infrastructure and international business environment were key factors behind SUS ENVIRONMENT’s decision to expand through the city. The company has launched multiple waste-to-energy plants across Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Uzbekistan. Its current total investment processing capacity are close to 120,000 tonnes of waste per day, ranking it among the top players in Asia.
“We plan to add 50,000 tonnes of daily processing capacity globally over the next five years, using Hong Kong as a strategic platform, with a total investment of approximately US$6 billion,” Shi added. “Following the successful completion of China first waste-to-energy sustainability-linked syndicated loan in Hong Kong, we will continue to integrate technological advancements and leverage Hong Kong’s capital markets for diversified financing to support our global expansion.”
Future Strategy
Throughout its business expansion, InvestHK has been a key partner for
SUS ENVIRONMENT. Shi noted: “InvestHK has provided us with in-depth insights into local policies on solid waste management and low-carbon development, and connected us with potential partners — offering vital support for our establishment and growth in the city.”
Looking ahead, SUS ENVIRONMENT will use Hong Kong as a base to introduce advanced solid waste treatment and resource recovery technologies. The company aims to help enhance the city’s resource recycling efficiency and steadily advance its “Zero Landfill” goals. At the same time, it will continue to leverage Hong Kong’s international role as a “super connector” to introduce cutting-edge environmental technologies and solutions to global markets, contributing its expertise toward achieving worldwide carbon neutrality.
