Sustainability Report 2020/21

Case Study – Extending Our Green Efforts to the mainland - Shanghai IFC and Shanghai ICC SHKP has actively developed its green portfolio not only in Hong Kong, but also on the mainland. The landmark low-carbon buildings Shanghai IFC and Shanghai ICC have environmental concepts integrated into their lifecycles, from project design and construction to daily operations and management. In recognition of SHKP’s exceptional sustainable performance on the mainland, both Shanghai IFC and Shanghai ICC attained the Platinum rating in the LEED V4.0 for Building Operations and Maintenance: Existing Buildings in December 2020, which demonstrated outstanding performance in assessment categories including location and transportation, sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality and innovation. With 103 and 100 points respectively, they are among the world’s top four certified buildings under this category. Shanghai IFC gained the highest number of points in 2020, setting a world record for integrated commercial developments around the world and projects in the East Asia 3 . Optimizing Energy Use Shanghai IFC and Shanghai ICC undertake measures to ensure energy efficiency and reduce carbon. Automated systems record and calculate power consumption. Electrical and mechanical systems and meters are regularly checked and adjusted to maintain optimum levels. Both sites also utilize durable LED lighting and green refrigerants. Managing Resources Environmentally friendly materials and high-efficiency equipment are selected during procurement. At Shanghai IFC and Shanghai ICC, we launched a waste separation and recycling scheme, with regular record-keeping. More than 50% of recyclable waste is recycled and more than 70% of durables are reused. Managing Water Use To increase water efficiency and lower usage, rainwater is recycled for irrigation. Sanitation facilities with water-saving designs and variable frequency pumps ensure that water use is adjusted according to need. Engaging Tenants Shanghai IFC and Shanghai ICC’s excellent sustainability performance has attracted first-class enterprises – who share sustainable development mindsets with SHKP – as tenants. Both parties can unite to amplify the impact of transformation initiatives. And to better understand tenants’ needs regarding the indoor environment, regular questionnaires gather their feedback on aspects such as lighting performance and indoor air quality. Both Shanghai IFC and Shanghai ICC provide carpools and green transport priority parking. As a result, green transport accounts for more than 70% of tenant trips. We also share environmental protection messages with tenants via LED screens in office lobbies and lifts. • Shanghai ICC • Shanghai IFC • LEED Existing Building Platinum Certification 3 According to the latest official data of USGBC as of December 2020.
