Sustainability Report 2021/22
Value Created for the Environment Case Study – Wetland Seasons Park Supporting Low-Carbon Transition The Group recognizes the risks brought by climate change. We therefore integrate climate change considerations into our energy management, and support the transition to a low-carbon economy. We support the HKSAR government’s Climate Action Plan 2050, the Energy Saving Plan for Hong Kong’s Built Environment 2015-2025+. To support the government’s call for carbon neutrality by 2050, we joined their Carbon Neutrality Partnership. We will actively study to develop strategy for a long-term net-zero carbon commitment in the future. We continue to participate in the Carbon Audit • Green Partner scheme, having signed the Carbon Reduction Charter in 2009. We have conducted carbon audits at most of our properties since 2008. To demonstrate our commitment to decarbonization in Hong Kong, SHKP and our property management subsidiaries have signed the Business Environment Council’s Low Carbon Charter. For the progress of our 10-year target on electricity consumption intensity reduction, this year, we achieved an electricity consumption intensity of 129.66 kWh/m 2 of total gross floor area – a reduction of around 7.27% from 2019/20. Such reduction is mainly contributed by the adoption of energy- saving measures at our EOC-monitored buildings, and also lower occupancy in our properties during the fifth wave of COVID-19. 4 It included pre-fabricated structural elements such as pre-cast panels, balconies, utility platforms and water tanks.

Building Information Modelling (BIM) was introduced to improve build-ability, minimize abortive works, lower construction costs and save construction time. Pre-fabrication technology 4 was also widely adopted, which reduced cost and time during installation, enhanced quality, and reduced labour and manpower required for construction’s process. Smart and Green Living with Sustainable Property Management Wetland Seasons Park is the first residential development in Hong Kong to introduce the SmarTone Home 5G Broadband service. Residents can access high-speed 5G network, seamlessly linking all their smart household equipment and connecting to the Internet. Smart identification management services allow efficient monitoring of vehicle traffic and enhance carpark management through Smart Community app sends out QR code to replace traditional resident cards for owners to enter the main complex gate, lobby doors and controls lifts within the site the carplate recognition system. In the clubhouse restaurant, a robot delivery system is adopted to deliver food. Also, a UV-C disinfection robot is used for conducting regular disinfection at the clubhouse. The Smart Community app enables building access, visitor registration, management services, service contacts, a virtual tour and health tips. Recognition In recognition of these efforts, Wetland Seasons Park received the Five Stars Residency Award bestowed by the Hong Kong Professional Building Inspection Academy Ltd. in 2021, and also won the Leading Environmental Initiative Awards at the ESG Leading Enterprise Awards 2021 presented by the Chinese Edition of Bloomberg Businessweek and Deloitte. * EOC monitored 54 properties in 2014/15, 55 from 2015/16 to 2018/19, 53 in 2019/20, 60 in 2020/21 and 61 in 2021/22. 14 Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited • Sustainability Report 2021/22
