Description: High carbon emissions from buildings is causing Hong Kong’s air quality to diminish (Business Environmental Council 2005, 2008). With massive amounts of energy being used by buildings (Reed and Wilkinson 2005, Chan, Qian and Lam 2009) and Financial Institutions (FI) being amongst the largest inhabitants, it is within their power to reduce this. This research will focus on the demand side where pressure is beginning to form (Nelson 2008, Fischer, Loh, Lawson and Chau 2008). Eight FI are interviewed to find out their perspectives on initiatives for green buildings. The findings show that FI are very serious about CSR and it has become a normal part of doing business in the banking sector.
