Value Created for Community Strategies and Management SHKP Volunteer Team Formed in 2003, the SHKP Volunteer Team creates synergy and long-term value for our community. The staff volunteers are committed to an ‘ABC caring spirit’ philosophy: A: Association to work as a team B: Belief in Building Homes with Heart C: Commitment to serve the community and to reach out to those in need SHKP pays close attention to the community’s needs and responds proactively. Our Corporate Social Responsibility Committee, led by senior executives, oversees our community investments and partnerships with charitable organizations. We collaborate with NGOs and other stakeholders to promote long-term, sustainable community programmes. Our work in the community is three-pronged: (1) Encouraging reading and holistic development, especially among youth; (2) Promoting sports for charity and healthy living; and (3) Providing care for the underprivileged. The strategies that guide our investment in, and promotion of, well-being in the community are: • Building close partnerships with NGOs and other stakeholders • Encouraging direct participation by our staff • Promoting long-term, sustainable community programmes • Contributing to the community through strategic use of resources and networks as well as applying the skills of our staff Our commitment and contributions to the community have earned widespread recognition. During the reporting year, we were named a Caring Company for the 20th consecutive year by the Hong Kong Council of Social Service. 37 of our business units – from shopping malls and hotels to property management and construction companies – were awarded the same honour for the 10th or 15th consecutive year. We contributed HK$102 million to charity and in-kind sponsorships, and paid HK$5,655 million in tax during the reporting year. The SHKP Volunteer Team provides home inspections and floor-tiling services for elderly residents This year, the SHKP Volunteer Team has partnered with the Caritas Community Centre – Ngau Tau Kok to run the SHKP Peer Support Programme for underprivileged families. Our volunteers were paired up with participating families to build mutual trust and friendships through various interactions to help relieve their anxiety in life. Their children were encouraged to develop interpersonal relationships through activities to enhance their sense of belonging to their family and society, educating them to care for the community. 46 Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited • Sustainability Report 2021/22
