Peter Lee

The chairman of Henderson Land Group, Peter Lee, has taken over the reins of the business empire Henderson Land since 2019. He is also the co-chairman of The Hong Kong and China Gas Company (Towngas) and Towngas Smart Energy Company, as well as the vice-chairman of Henderson Investment. As Principal of Full Vision Capital and Co-Chairman of Towngas, Lee dramatically accelerated the family empire’s “offensive” pivot into green technology throughout 2025 and 2026. He spearheaded a US$300 million battery startup extension round, oversaw the early 2026 launch of EcoCeres’ landmark sustainable aviation fuel facility in Malaysia and formed a strategic heavy-truck hydrogen and methanol infrastructure partnership with Geely.

Lee is also highly committed to philanthropy, focusing on areas including healthcare and poverty alleviation. In 2024, he received the Grand Bauhinia Medal, the city’s top honour, for his commitment to housing low-income families, providing land for the city’s Covid isolation facilities and making “substantial monetary contributions” to charity and disaster relief work. His Centum Charitas Foundation, established in 2008, aims to bring together a group of successful entrepreneurs in Hong Kong to support philanthropic causes and promote collaboration between the business and social welfare sectors, while his Care of Life Foundation has funded surgery for over 60,000 impoverished children with congenital heart disease.

Peter joined the company in 1985. Early on in his tenure, he undertook the critical role of spearheading the company’s push into mainland China, and that market remains his focus. Lee is also a member of the standing committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference. He is a Justice of the Peace and received a Gold Bauhinia Star in 2015. Peter Lee is the father of triplet boys.
