In the Award Presentation Ceremony for the Charter on External Lighting held on 15th June, 2017, 34 properties of Urban Group were awarded Platinum and Gold awards respectively.
The Environment Bureau launched the Charter on External Lighting (the “Charter”) in April 2016 to invite owners and responsible persons for external lighting installations to switch off lighting installations of decorative, promotional or advertising purposes which would waste energy and cause nuisance to the outdoor environment during late night. More than 4,300 properties and shops had taken action to support the Charter over the past years and this year, more than 300 new joined properties and shops sign up to the Charter.
