There are over 600 sustainability certifications for products and buildings being used in the world today and Hong Kong Green Building Council (HKGBC) is one of the most renowned organizations which provides certifications to sustainable buildings in Hong Kong.
BEAM Plus, which is recognized by HKGBC, is Hong Kong’s leading initiative to offer independent assessment of buildings’ sustainability performance with a balanced scale in the area of Environmental Sustainability, Economic Sustainability and Social Sustainability that can fulfill the Bank’s Green and Sustainable Product Framework.
BEAM Plus scheme is a comprehensive evaluation system, covering three main pillars for sustainable development:
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
| SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY
| ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY

|---|---|---|
| • Reduce carbon emission • Pollution control | • Healthy and active lifestyle • Inclusive Design | • Cost of life cycle • Durability and toughness |

- Any new mortgage under Standard Chartered with mortgaged residential buildings (including first-hand, second-hand properties and government subsidised flats) possessing a valid Gold or Platinum rating under BEAM Plus New/ Existing Buildings, as displayed on HKGBC website (www.hkgbc.org.hk).


- The minimum loan amount for enjoying the Green Mortgage offer is HKD1,000,000.

- If you have a mortgage facility with the mortgage deposit linked feature, the deposit in your mortgage deposit linked account (up to our pre-determined percentage of the mortgage loan outstanding principal) will accrue the same interest rate that applies to your mortgage loan outstanding principal on any particular day. The interest accrued (if any) on your mortgage deposit linked account will be credited to your mortgage deposit linked account monthly or at other regular intervals that the Bank determines.
- If you have a mortgage facility with the mortgage $aver feature, the deposit in your Mortgage $aver current account (up to our pre-determined percentage of the mortgage loan outstanding principal) will accrue the same interest rate that applies to your mortgage loan outstanding principal on any particular day. The interest accrued (if any) on the Eligible Deposit shall be applied towards reducing the Mortgage loan outstanding principal on a monthly basis. The deposits in excess of the upper limit will receive no interest.
