Hong Kong, 26 June 2025 – Kingboard Holdings Limited (00148.HK) and its subsidiaries (“Kingboard” or the “Group”) announces the successful completion of a HK$8-billion, five-year, sustainability-linked syndicated loan (the “Syndicated Loan”).

Kingboard has once again secured the top position in global sales, marking its 20th consecutive year as the undisputed industry leader. “This remarkable achievement highlights Kingboard's unrivaled expertise in research and development, production capacity, and market competitiveness, solidifying our position as the benchmark for excellence in the global laminates industry,” continued Mr. Cheung.
Green Investments and Performance
The Group has an established track record of investing in sustainability. Following an aggregate investment of HK$900 million up to 31 December 2024, the Group has successfully installed an annual generating capacity of 200 million kWh of green electricity thereafter, resulting in energy savings equivalent to 54,000 tonnes of standard coal or a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of 120,000 tonnes. This initiative is expected to translate into annual electricity bill savings of HK$180 million based on the current market price.
In respect of thermal energy recovery, as at 31 December 2024 the Group’s investments totalled HK$200 million. These investments resulted in a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 59,000 tonnes during 2024, which is equivalent to energy savings of 24,000 tonnes of standard coal and cost savings totalling HK$180 million.
