Sustainability Report 2015/16

Green Property Management The Group supports government initiatives to promote green property management. Its Kai Shing and Hong Yip subsidiaries are part of the Environment Bureau’s Charter on External Lighting to reduce light pollution and energy waste in managed buildings. During 2015, eight Hong Kong Awards for Environmental Excellence in recognition of outstanding environmental achievements were received. The Group’s property management subsidiaries were also recognized in the 2016 Best Landscape Award and Indoor Air Quality Certificate Award Ceremony of the IAQ Certification Scheme, for creating quality green environments. Energy and Carbon Management Buildings consume a full 90% of the electricity used in Hong Kong. With this in mind, the Group has focused its efforts on building energy efficiency. Electricity consumption in our properties is regularly monitored, and these results are monitored by our Energy Optimization Committee (EOC), with 24 specialists in building engineering and management helping to supervise energy consumption. The committee regularly reviews building efficiency and disseminates the latest research and international best practices. During the year, the number of EOC-monitored buildings increased to 55 in our investment properties portfolio. The Group optimizes the design of new projects to minimize energy consumption, and retrofits existing buildings to improve energy efficiency (see the case study on page 15 f or our energy conservation approach and initiatives). Achievements by the Group’s property management subsidiaries in energy and carbon reduction have been widely recognized: Gold in the 2015 HSBC Living Business Awards (Green Achievement Category) for Kai Shing Bronze Award (Services Sector) in BOCHK Corporate Environmental Leadership Awards for Hong Yip Silver and Bronze Awards in BOCHK Corporate Environmental Leadership Awards for Kai Shing SilverAward in PropertyManagement – Residential Category in CLP GREEN PLUS  Award Programme 2015 for Hong Yip Platinum Award from the Asia Pacific Intelligent Green Building Alliance for the Group Second runner-up of Friends of the Earth Biggest Units Saver Award (Property Management) in the 2015 Power Smart Energy Saving Contest for Hong Yip Champion of Friends of the Earth Biggest Units Saver Award (Property Management) andCharityContribution Certificate (Property Management) in the 2015 Power Smart Energy Saving Contest for Kai Shing Top in Carbon Reduction and Energy Saving and Highest Carbon Reduction and Energy Saving overall winner in the 2015/16 Tuen Mun Yan Oi Tong Carbon Reduction Competition for Kai Shing CarbonSmart Achiever Award for Kai Shing Construction Property management Total 5 275 280 1 123 124 Not applicable 18 18 Not applicable 36 36 Wastewi$e Certificate Energywi$e Certificate IAQwi$e Certificate Carbon Reduction Certificate Certificates Attained from the Hong Kong Awards for Environmental Excellence (as at 30 June 2016) Electricity Consumption for Major Buildings Monitored by the Energy Optimization Committee from 2011-2016 2011/12 367,259 350,423 333,050 331,134 328,614 2012/13 2013/14 * 2014/15 * 2015/16 (‘000 kWh) The Group’s monitoring and reduction initiatives include conducting building energy and carbon audits since 2008.
