Robert Allender
EnergyUse Strategy Advisors
Founder and Corporate Decarbonisation Lead
At a certain the point in time, listed company board members become or will become aware that their company is failing to create maximum value from its energy affairs. Robert Allender has 35 years’ experience guiding corporations and business units to turn that failure around.
For the past 9 of these years his main work has been helping listed company boards that want:
- All board members to be appropriately educated and regularly updated on both general and company-specific corporate energy affairs (CEA) issues;
- An energy affairs strategy that outperforms any of their competitors in both profitability and resilience;
- A higher energy affairs maturity score than last year.
Creating value is not the only dimension of Robert’s work; avoiding value destruction is another. These days the hot CEA issues are decarbonisation, the energy transition, Scope 3, and the energy-and-carbon-half of ESG. But business continuity is always the baseline, and controlling energy-related opex and capex cannot be taken for granted. Robert enjoys helping company senior leaders become aware of how complex and consequential their company’s energy affairs have become, and to be free of any 1970s ideas about energy-use ecosystem realities.
Clients for Robert’s CEA work have come from across the world, but Hong Kong has been his home since 1989. He has a business degree from Cornell University, and has been a speaker and writer on CEA and related topics since 1994. He is regularly invited to serve as conference chair, awards judge, MBA guest lecturer, and association and charity director.
My Sustainability Goals for 2025:
In keeping with my personal mission of having all medium and large businesses put their energy-use strategy in writing, I hope 2025 is the year this practice becomes a hallmark of Hong Kong businesses, one that the city is widely praised for.

Day 2 – Friday 12 September
10:40 – 11:20
Buildings are the foundation of our communities, but their emissions are also driving the climate crisis. The building sector contributes nearly 40% of all global greenhouse gas emissions. To continue to thrive, society needs net zero buildings. A net zero building is simply a building that has no net carbon emissions during its construction and operation. Emissions are reduced and what’s leftover is balanced by renewable energy or carbon offsets. Innovative façade design is the key to achieve a net zero building such as incorporating BIPV panels in the façade design and consider adopting modular construction methods in lieu of traditional ones.
Now is the time to implement net zero carbon for buildings, both new and existing. Achieving net zero carbon will require us to transform how we design, build, and operate buildings of all types and scales.
Learnings
- Understanding Net-Zero Transition
- Science-Based Target for Buildings
- How to Deliver the Practice by Technological Developments
- Our Green Vision to Global Mission

Hong Kong Façade Association Limited
The Hong Kong Façade Association (HKFA) strive to connect, to align and to join hands together with different organizations and individuals in Hong Kong to incorporate the concept of sustainability into building design so as to achieve the goal of carbon neutrality to reduce the environmental impacts to nature and improving our quality of life.
Our organisation’s sustainability goals for 2025
Climate change is a mega challenge for the world, leading to various disasters such as heatwaves, floods and hurricanes. These climate-induced natural disasters have caused significant environmental, economic, social, and health consequences. It is now a consensus of the society that climate change must be stopped.
Carbon neutrality is expected to address climate change challenges, and its achievement requires the collective efforts of various industries and sectors. The building and construction sector is a big energy consumer and greenhouse gas emitter as they are responsible for 37% of the global energy-related emissions, demonstrating significant opportunities to achieve of carbon neutrality. Consequently, there is an urgent need to achieve net zero carbon performance in the built environment.
Green retrofit is the sustainable refurbishment of an existing building to make it more efficient, better for the environment and sustainable for the future. When it comes to building envelope retrofitting, improving the energy efficiency of existing buildings is the key to reduce the carbon footprint. It usually involves installing better insulation, energy-efficient glazing, and more efficient lighting.
To further reduce carbon footprint, we can consider adding alternative energy sources for our power supply. Solar power is one of the renewable energy sources that heats and cools the indoor space and provides electricity. Installation of BIPV or solar panels on the roof of a building or incorporate them into the wall cladding of building facades is becoming increasingly affordable, and it is a great way to reduce the carbon footprint.

More importantly, Joseph and his team secured over eight industry awards and recognitions, including the HKSTP Incu-App, HKU TSSSU, CityUE Tech300, iDendron GearUp, PwC TechRaiser, etc., in four years.
