The BEAM Society is the non-profit organisation that owns and operates, on a self-financing basis, the Building Environmental Assessment Method (BEAM). The society oversees the on-going development and implementation of BEAM standards for building assessment, performance improvement, certification and labelling. This is undertaken as an industry-led, voluntary initiative to benefit the community.

The mission of the BEAM Society is to:

• Improve the environmental performance of buildings across their life cycle;
• Provide healthier, higher quality, more durable and efficient working and living environments for building occupants;
• Contribute significantly towards sustainable development in Hong Kong;
• Build capacity in the industry to move quickly towards;
• Educate the Hong Kong community to the concepts of eco-efficiency and sustainability;
• Extend these sound practices beyond Hong Kong, and into the Asia Pacific region.

Society members work to continually enhance and refine BEAM to meet the expectations of all interested parties (in particular building users), and to encourage and assist the local building industry to move towards sustainable development.
