60TH ANNIVERSARY VIDEO
Chairman's Message
2023 marks the 60th anniversary of the Great Eagle Group. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to our late founder, my father Mr Lo Ying Shek, for his perseverance, hard work and pursuit of perfection, which laid a solid foundation for the long-term development of the Group.
Since its establishment in 1963, Great Eagle Group has been rooted in Hong Kong and developed from a real estate company. It was listed in 1972 and now has diversified businesses around the world.
The growth of the Group relies on the concerted efforts of all colleagues, who uphold the values of the Group, achieving remarkable results over the past 60 years. As the group celebrates its 60th anniversary, we sincerely thank the board of directors, business partners and shareholders for their unwavering support and trust, which enable the Group to thrive.
Looking ahead, the Group will build on the past to master opportunities while remaining flexible and innovative to keep pace with the times. We will expand our mission for sustainable development and care for our community. We will continue to explore and achieve new milestones in the future.
Dr. Lo Ka Shui
Chairman and Managing Director

Great Eagle Group organized the 60th Anniversary Logo Design Competition at year-end 2022. Colleagues from around the globe were invited to design the logo in creative ways to celebrate this significant milestone. It attracted nearly 50 colleagues from Hong Kong, Auckland, Boston, Chicago, Melbourne, Shanghai and Sydney to submit their great works.
After review by the judging panel, Rex Wang from Cordis, Shanghai, Hongqiao received the Grand Award. His inspiration comes from a flying eagle, representing the flourishing business of the Group in the past 60 years. The logo also integrates an infinity symbol ∞ which signifies the Group’s development that is full of opportunities in the future. The design of the official anniversary logo is based on the winning entry and has been used throughout the celebration.
Great Eagle Group Launches Scholarship Programmes with HKUST and CityU
Marking the milestone of its 60 years of establishment, Great Eagle launches The Great Eagle Group Scholarship, pledging to donate a total of HK$2 million – HK$1 million each to The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and City University of Hong Kong to nurture local talent in sustainable development, environmental management and energy science.
The funding will be divided into forty scholarships of HK$25,000 each to be awarded at each university over the coming years. They will be granted to students studying sustainable development, environment and energy – a testament of the Great Eagle Group’s dedication to cultivating talent in these areas, as well as our keen desire to help support the youth fulfilling their potential to shape a sustainable future.
Rooftop Urban Farming at Great Eagle Centre
The Great Eagle Group is committed to taking concrete steps towards reducing carbon footprint. As part of the anniversary celebrations, the Group launched an urban farming project on the rooftop of Great Eagle Centre. Colleagues were invited to participate as farmers, enjoy the fun of farming, live a sustainable lifestyle and contribute to sustainable development.
Under the constant care of our colleagues, the first harvest of Ceylon Spinach was completed successfully in May 2023. A vegetarian lunch event was then hosted, featuring the locally grown, farm-to-table fresh produce. Colleagues could also take home some of the produce to share with their families and friends.
Great Eagle Group Tree Planting Activity
Great Eagle Group has always been dedicated to sustainable development and environmental preservation. To coincide with the celebration of its 60th anniversary, the Group launched a series of green initiatives, including a tree planting event held in June 2023. Led by representatives of the NGO World Green Organisation, our colleagues with their friends and family members planted around 100 native tree seedlings in Tai Lam Country Park.
These 100 tree seedlings are expected to grow and will absorb about two tons of carbon dioxide per year, making a significant long-term impact on the environment. Native species of trees will also provide habitat and food sources for local wildlife, thereby enhancing the ecological value and biodiversity of country parks.
GREAT EAGLE GROUP ANNOUNCES A HK$2 MILLION SPONSORSHIP FOR ASIA CARBON INSTITUTE
The Great Eagle Group is providing a sponsorship to Asia Carbon Institute (ACI) in the amount of HK$2 million to support the development of a voluntary carbon market in Asia.
ACI is an independent non-profit organisation established in 2022 that serves as a voluntary carbon credit standard organisation and registry for Asia. The Institute focuses on developing and implementing climate-neutral initiatives and tailored solutions to address unique environmental challenges and opportunities across Asia.
As part of the Group's 60th anniversary celebrations, the Group has taken the opportunity to continue advancing its sustainability efforts by supporting the ACI as they promote robust carbon credit standards in Asia. This is an important step that provides businesses with more options to achieve net-zero goals over the long term. This will create positive impacts to shape a more sustainable future for the next generations.
60TH ANNIVERSARY CHARITY WALKING CHALLENGE
The Great Eagle Group organised a Charity Walking Challenge in late September 2023 to celebrate its 60th anniversary, with an aim to encourage employees to raise funds for the Children and Youth Training Fund of the Heep Hong Society by participating in the walking program.
A total of 475 employees took part in the 7-day Charity Walking Challenge. Through the collective efforts of all participants, the event successfully reached the group target of 6 million steps. Based on the results, the Group donated HK$150,000 to the Heep Hong Society to support its Children and Youth Training Fund. The funding provides assistance to the economically disadvantaged families with children and youth with special needs, enabling them to receive timely assessments and professional trainings.
