Ltd. For over 50 years of property and facilities management business, we have continuously improved our services to ensure that we can always exceed the expectations of our customers and stay competitive as a leading company in the industry. Our commitment and efforts have resulted in healthy business growth and recognition from our customers, business partners and other stakeholders. With the expansion of our business activities and operations, we have also come to realise our impact on the environment and local communities and our responsibility to manage them. Furthermore, being a socially responsible company with a view to sustaining our business in the long term, we must integrate CSR into our business strategy. CSR is much more than running a business ethically and delivering top quality services to our customers. We are responsible to our employees for providing a safe and healthy work environment, work-life balance, rewarding careers, personal development opportunities, and competitive compensation and benefits. We are responsible to the environment for preventing pollution, making the best use of resources to minimise generation of waste, and educating people about environmental protection as all these can only be achieved by the concerted efforts of related parties. We are also responsible to local communities for serving as a caring neighbour, investing in building a harmonious community, and advocating good environmental practices. 3 This Report will tell you about how we approach the CSR challenges, what we have achieved so far and what we aim to achieve in the coming year. I am particularly proud of our achievements in providing platform to employees and customers serving the community and environmental initiatives at our managed properties, and I would like to thank the dedication and enthusiasm of our employees and the occupants in this and other CSR initiatives. For our employees, we continue to create a more structured and transparent career and personal development path. With the establishment of our People Development Academy in 2007, we are committed to nourishing our people to unleash their full potential. We will also continue to engage with our customers to find out about their needs and concerns as well as to educate them about living a healthy lifestyle and greening the environment. We have always been actively involved in community service projects, whether by sponsorship or by the contribution of our employee volunteer team. The experience has been rewarding for all involved and we look forward to embarking on more life enriching projects in partnership with community and charity groups in the future. I sincerely hope you will enjoy reading our CSR Report, which is a milestone in our long but promising CSR journey. Your feedback on our CSR performance and reporting is very important to us and I welcome you to write to us at [email protected]. Ir.
