Swire Beverages has announced a partnership with the Building Energy Research Centre at Tsinghua University ("THU"). Swire Beverages will provide a research grant of RMB1 million a year over the next three years, while researchers from THU will provide onsite monitoring and analysis of energy consumption in Swire Beverages' operations. A series of codes of practice, energy saving standards, operational guidelines and training programmes tailored to the beverage industry will be developed. The establishment of the partnership programme enables the exchange of ideas between academics and beverage industry practitioners, with the aim of raising awareness of energy consumption issues and offering practical steps towards greenhouse gas emission management in the industry.
