Regal Hotels Group tapped into the metaverse with a “Land” acquired at Mega City 2 of The Sandbox, a leading decentralised gaming virtual world and subsidiary of Animoca Brands.
As the first green metropolis in The Sandbox, the first phase of the development will be officially launched on 12 January 2023. Regal Hotels is truly honoured to have the support from various pioneering strategic partners, including Hang Seng Bank, UOB Hong Kong, City Super
Group and The Mills. All partners will join hands to foster a diversified green ecosystem and nurture a sustainable circular economy in order to contribute to the community and the environment.
“As a thought leader in sustainable development, Regal Hotels group seeks to co-create a powerful collaborative ecosystem with strategic partners to inspire decarbonisation and behavioural changes in the consumer and business communities. MetaGreen is a progressive green movement aimed at promoting green actions in metaverse and real life through immersive edutainment experiences, online and offline rewards. By harnessing the power of technology, MetaGreen will help accelerate the transition to a circular economy and a brighter, greener net zero future for us all!” Ms. Poman Lo, Vice-Chairman and Managing Director of Regal Hotels Group said.
“The metaverse is both a technological and social revolution that can foster positive impact through ESG initiatives, driving the green growth ecosystem,” said Sebastien BORGET, COO and Co-Founder of The Sandbox.
”The MetaGreen initiative from Regal Hotels Group is a first pillar that will set an example
for additional environmentally-focused projects in the metaverse, to be followed by other large brands and companies worldwide. In the coming months, we hope to encourage more ESG-related development to boost the long term environmental sustainability of The Sandbox.”
The first phase of MetaGreen includes an array of eco-friendly facilities, including a green hotel, a shopping mall, an art park and a green open space for performance. Players can experience different green-themed games which intend to arouse public concern in living a green lifestyle.
