Grand YOHO residents can apply for a farm area in YOHO Farm and experience the joy of gardening under the guidance of a professional gardener. Nearly 1,000 applications have been received from households since 2018. Valais has a clubhouse rooftop farm and nursery areas, which use fertilizer made from food waste. The crops are used in its clubhouse restaurant or shared with residents. Gradually increasing the charging facilities for electric vehicles The Group encourages the public to use environmental friendly electric vehicles to reduce carbon emissions and improve roadside air quality. Currently, carparks in over 50 residential properties managed by the Group have charging facilities for electric vehicles. To promote a sustainable transport system, the Group plans to install standard charging facilities for electric vehicles in private car parking spaces in its new residential developments. Hong Yip and Kai Shing are helping existing estates install standard charging facilities for electric vehicles to encourage residents to switch to electric vehicles. Smart management to utilize resources efficiently and enhance quality The Group has proactively introduced smart technology in its managed residential properties to reduce resource consumption and enhance management quality. Some estates deploy robots for value- added service. The Grand YOHO, Mount Regency and Wetland Seasons Park clubhouses, for example, have smart food delivery robots with removable food trays. Guided by a camera and an obstacle-detection system, the robot can deliver the food ordered by residents directly to their seats. This contactless delivery makes the dining experience healthier and more hygienic. In recent years, a number of estates have used a mobile app to connect with residents and enhance service quality. Live e-asy and SoProp, the in-house app of Kai Shing and Hong Yip respectively, are now applied throughout all their managed residential properties. In addition to estate information, residents can access the estate, reserve clubhouse facilities and services, pay management fees, and even send a visitor e-pass through the mobile app. 7
