Serving the needs of humanity means
both serving them in the present and
anticipating future desires. HWL’s long
history and endurance has been made
possible by responding to the aspirations
of citizens and communities in 52 countries
around the world. This issue of
Sphere
will
tell you how.
Technology plays a part. Whether
deployed in the office or on the Pacific
seabed, technology enables HWL and
its customers to achieve an increasingly
common desire – to live more in
accordance with nature. The roll-out of
Telepresence technology reduces our
carbon footprint and makes executives
more efficient. At the bottom of the sea,
Husky Energy’s Liwan Gas Project is
extracting an energy source that burns
cleaner to make our cities more liveable.
This is important, because cities are
where the future lies for the vast
majority of humanity. Architect Sir
Terry Farrell, designer of the Hutchison
Whampoa Property’s Lots Road
Chelsea Waterfront project, believes
this, and so incorporated all the major
elements of sustainable urbiculture
into this landmark development rising
on the London riverside. Our work
in cities, from New Zealand waste
collection to Hong Kong’s nascent
smart grid development, answers the
modern needs of modern citizens.
Targeted training across the Group plays an
important role. We must all train, train, and
train again to be ready for any eventuality.
Read in this issue about how HWL’s
training regimens enable us to protect our
clients from the impact of unexpected
disaster and deliver on opportunities to
answer their needs.
With a service mindset and an eye on
the future, HWL will continue to play an
important role in helping our customers
achieve their goals and build happier
futures for themselves, their families
and their communities.
In creating the future, there are doers and thinkers.
HWL needs them all. This issue looks at how the
future-building happens through exploring, training
and answering the needs of our partner communities
we serve —HutchisonWhampoa style.
