History
The concept of sustainable development has always been on
the lips of many government officials in Hong Kong. Yet, seldom could
we find a paper specifically investigate the sustainable development
objective of property management companies’. There are two major
objectives in this paper: 1) to find out whether property management
companies have provided sustainable property management services, 2)
how traditional Chinese thinking smoothen sustainable property
management. The results from a survey of 14 local property
management companies show that sustainable development is not a
major concern for property management companies. Although, all of the
local property management companies studied provides cleaning,
security, repair and maintenance services, none of them have included
the sustainable development concept as their operational objective Only a few of them state explicitly that they provide environmental,
social and economic services to their customers. Even so, in view of
global warming problem, sustainable needs from the green groups and
Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government, it is expected
that sustainable property management will be future agenda of all the
property management companies. This paper proposes how traditional
Chinese thinking can provide insight on sustainable property
management by reviewing the previous literatures.“Hong Kong Shue Yan University Faculty Member”
