You can contact us by email at HKEX ESG Reporting [email protected] or fill in the Guide Index PLACES PEOPLE PARTNERS PERFORMANCE PERFORMANCE MENU (ENVIRONMENT) (ECONOMIC) CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S MESSAGE 2017 was the first full calendar year of implementing our Sustainable Development (“SD”) strategy – what we call our SD 2030 Strategy – and the focus has been on ‘getting things done’. This strategy is aimed at ensuring that SD is integrated into every facet of our business, so it is vital that everyone at Swire Properties not only understands what our strategy is about, but also feels empowered to contribute to what we are trying to achieve. Our employees are critical to the implementation of the strategy and it has been heartening to see them getting involved at every level. I am particularly proud of the progress we are making to integrate SD throughout our business by breaking down geographic and functional silos. We have incorporated SD focus areas directly into our annual budget-planning processes and, most importantly, we are putting SD key performance indicators into action. Our SD 2030 Working Groups are already delivering tangible outcomes with respect to the interim goals we have set for 2020, including the issuance of our first green bond in January 2018. This not only reaffirms our commitment to designing and developing green projects, but also supports the emergence of Hong Kong’s green capital market. Another area in which we aspire to provide leadership is diversity and inclusion, which means fostering a working environment that provides equality of opportunity and employment without bias. To affirm our commitment to these principles, we have created a Diversity and Inclusion Committee with responsibility for developing and implementing our agenda for diversity and inclusion throughout the Company. At the heart of our SD 2030 Strategy is the realisation that the greatest impacts we have on society are in the places we create and maintain over time. We opened our first development in Shanghai – HKRI Taikoo Hui – in 2017. Underpinned by our successful mixed-use model, this project is already realising its potential to become a hotspot for lifestyle offerings and family-friendly events, helping to create a vibrant new community in this iconic city. In Hong Kong, the redevelopment of Taikoo Place continues to make steady progress, reinforcing its status as a major commercial district and hub for innovation in the city. In September, we received approval to incorporate vibrant new elements into the redevelopment project, such as more recreational amenities and public spaces. In Miami, U.S.A., Brickell City Centre is adding value to its growing community too, having been named Project of the Year at the Urban Land Institute’s 2017 Vision Awards. This is a fantastic accolade considering that the award recognises both exceptional architectural design and social impact on the local community – two areas in which we strive to excel. 3 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2017 PLACES PEOPLE PARTNERS PERFORMANCE PERFORMANCE MENU (ENVIRONMENT) (ECONOMIC) CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S MESSAGE To ensure the continued optimisation of existing building system operations, we have commenced energy audits and a monitoring-based commissioning programme for the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems in Pacific Place, Hong Kong. This will help us to identify opportunities for further energy and carbon reductions. More broadly, Swire Properties’ long-term commitment to SD continues to receive recognition. In 2017, our first-time listing in the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmarks (“GRESB”) resulted in a 5-star rating and the highest score among all participants in the Other – Mixed Use Development category. We were also proud to be the only company in Hong Kong and Mainland China to be included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index 2017. Even though this recognition indicates that we are moving in the right direction to achieve our SD vision, we acknowledge that we have much more work to do. I would like to thank all those, both within Swire Properties and among our extended network of stakeholders, who continue to support our SD 2030 Strategy. Moving into 2018, we are continuing to focus on ‘getting things done’. It’s an exciting challenge and I look forward to seeing what we can accomplish next.
