Supporting LOOK GREEN! “Light & Stylish” Workday to Build a More Sustainable Workplace Together In response to Hong Kong Green Building Week 2026, Optimix is pleased to participate in the LOOK GREEN! Biz-Green Outfits X Green Workplace Social Media Challenge, organized and promoted by the Construction Industry Council and the Hong Kong Green Building Council. Through concrete action, we support a green workplace culture, promote low-carbon lifestyles, and work together towards a more sustainable future. As a company that values sustainable development, Optimix has always believed that environmental protection does not necessarily require major changes; rather, it can begin with every detail of our daily lives. This campaign encourages everyone to start with office attire and work habits, choosing lightweight, comfortable, and appropriate clothing to create a fresher working environment while reducing energy consumption and putting the concept of green living into practice.   Supporting Low-Carbon Living with “Light & Stylish” Outfits During the campaign, our colleagues actively responded to the call by wearing outfits in four theme colors representing the Biz-Green spirit: red for health and comfort, blue for resource efficiency, green for environmental friendliness, and yellow for innovation. Through color coordination and team participation, we created a vibrant and creative green office atmosphere while deepening colleagues’ understanding of sustainable development. In addition to the color elements, “Biz-Green” also promotes simple and practical tips for office attire, such as going without a tie, wearing open-collar shirts, choosing thinner and more breathable fabrics, and reducing the number of clothing layers. These choices help maintain a professional image while allowing everyone to dress more lightly and comfortably. Such seemingly minor changes can actually help maintain indoor comfort, support energy-efficient cooling, reduce reliance on air conditioning, and gradually establish a low-carbon, healthy, and efficient working model.   Practising a Green Workplace Culture in Daily Life We fully understand that sustainable development is not merely a corporate goal, but also a culture that requires the participation of everyone. Through our participation in the Green Workplace Social Media Challenge, we not only encourage employees to support environmental protection through concrete actions, but also hope to promote the concept of a green office and show more people that everyday office life can become an important part of advancing a sustainable future. During the campaign, Optimix’s colleagues participated in group photo sessions, showcasing Biz-Green outfits and green office elements. In a relaxed and creative way, they integrated environmental messages into everyday workplace settings. This not only strengthened team cohesion, but also demonstrated our support for and commitment to a green corporate culture. We believe that building sustainable cities requires everyone’s contribution. As an important stakeholder in society, businesses can drive positive change starting from the workplace. From dressing lightly for work and raising energy-saving awareness to establishing a green workplace culture, every step can have a far-reaching impact on the future. Optimix will continue to integrate the principles of sustainable development into our business and daily operations. Together with our employees, partners, and members of the community, we will move forward hand in hand to create a greener, healthier, and better future.

Optimix’s Zhuhai Green and Smart Production Base has recently been officially recognised as a 2026 “Green Factory” by the Zhuhai Industry and Information Technology Bureau. Among the many enterprises across the city, only 18 were selected for this honour. This recognition affirms the Base’s sustained commitment to green manufacturing, energy conservation, emissions reduction and smart production, while marking another important milestone in the Company’s sustainability journey.   The “Green Factory” designation is an important benchmark for the green transformation of the manufacturing sector. The assessment covers five key areas: intensive land use, harmless raw materials, clean production, resource utilisation of waste, and low-carbon energy consumption. With its well-established green management system, strong energy-saving and emissions-reduction performance, and high standards of operational capability, Optimix’s Zhuhai Production Base successfully passed the quantitative assessment, demonstrating its robust overall strengths.   Integrating Green Building with Smart Production As the Company’s new-generation Industry 4.0 smart factory, the Zhuhai Base incorporated the principles of green building and smart production from the outset of its design. It has also obtained LEED Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. Approximately 17% of the site has been reserved for green space, reflecting the Base’s commitment to achieving an optimal balance between its substantial annual production capacity of 300,000 tonnes and environmental conservation. In terms of production processes, the Base’s laboratory has also received the industry-recognised certification as a “Standardised Laboratory for Ready-Mixed Mortar”. The facility has introduced automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and a warehouse management system (WMS). Together with fully automated production lines and computer-controlled precision batching, these systems have significantly enhanced delivery efficiency and product quality consistency, while effectively reducing energy consumption during production.   Clean Energy Driving Low-Carbon Operations To further advance low-carbon operations, the Base has installed a 600 kW distributed photovoltaic power generation system on its rooftop, fully incorporating renewable energy into its daily production activities and enabling surplus electricity to be fed back into the grid. The system is capable of generating approximately 580,000 kWh of clean electricity each year—equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of around 293 households—and reducing carbon dioxide equivalent emissions by approximately 585 tonnes annually. Supported by an advanced energy management system (EMS), the facility can monitor and optimise the use of water, electricity and gas in real time, ensuring maximum energy efficiency.   Continuous R&D to Reduce Embodied Carbon in Buildings With more than 20 years of experience in dry-mix mortar research, development and production, Optimix fully recognises the importance of carbon reduction at source for the construction industry. Leveraging the expertise of its materials specialists at the Zhuhai R&D Centre, the Company continues to upgrade its tile adhesive, waterproofing mortar, self-levelling compound and other product ranges, with a focus on reducing the embodied carbon of building materials. At present, a number of Optimix products have received leading environmental certifications in both Hong Kong and Mainland China, providing efficient and eco-friendly material solutions for a wide range of construction projects.   The recognition as a Zhuhai Municipal Green Factory is a strong endorsement of Optimix’s commitment to ESG principles. Looking ahead, the Company will take this achievement as a new starting point to further deepen green manufacturing and contribute to the green transformation of the construction industry across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
