As at the date of the report, the properties under management made substantial progress. In regards to climate change, an internal review was conducted to assess the Group’s readiness for and emergency responses to climate change. The Group is actively exploring different ways to avoid, reduce and recover waste in different operations. In addition, priority is given to sustainable materials in the procurement process, and technologies are leveraged to minimize unnecessary resource consumption. In advocating environmental awareness among the general public, the Group has established environmental centres at a number of malls, and has partnered with different environmental NGOs. It partnered with Green Power to launch the free Nature Rescue mobile app. About 50 countryside and beach clean- up activities initiated by the public have used the app since its launch. For the seventh straight year, the Group supported the SHKP Love Nature Campaign organized by Green Power. The campaign offers classroom learning and outdoor activities to provide opportunities for students to appreciate nature.
