Value Created for Community SHKP delivered 30,000 caring kits to the underprivileged and to frontline healthcare workers Case Study – Timely Support to Fight Fifth COVID Wave In the anti-pandemic race, every second counts. When the fifth wave of COVID-19 severely affected Hong Kong, SHKP responded swiftly and continues to fully support the fight against the pandemic: • Lending at no cost two pieces of land in Tam Mi and San Tin with a combined site area of 14 hectares to the government for building community isolation facilities (CIFs) to help alleviate the immense pressure on the public healthcare system • Providing places in two commercial premises at Millennium City in Kwun Tong and Landmark North in North District as venues for community vaccinations. This offered convenience to the elderly and children in those districts, boosting the vaccination rate for these two high-risk groups • Providing timely support from our River Trade Terminal subsidiary to expedite mainland supplies of critical materials including CIF cabins and other anti- pandemic materials to Hong Kong • Setting up 5G infrastructure efficiently from Smartone for most of the CIFs to facilitate their operations and management critical to the intake of people for isolation • Providing 400,000 COVID-19 rapid-test kits to frontline anti-pandemic forces, the underprivileged and the Group’s employees • Distributing 30,000 anti-pandemic caring kits to people in urgent need and those under isolation SHKP provided space as isolation facilities and vaccination centres • Donating supporting materials worth more than HK$15 million in total Our property management subsidiaries collaborated with Hong Kong Volunteers Against Coronavirus to collect anti-pandemic items in the communities and deliver them to needy households. We supported the government’s distribution of anti-pandemic packs, benefiting more than 800,000 residents in over 200,000 units. We also helped isolated residents purchase daily necessities and arranged vaccination services at clubhouses in residential developments. We further protected customers at our shopping malls and office buildings: smart technology was used for disinfection, monitoring and improving indoor air quality. We will continue to closely monitor the pandemic situation and support the community. On the mainland, the Group and the Kwok family donated RMB three million to the Shanghai Charity Foundation in April to fully support Shanghai’s fight against the pandemic and help ensure the supply of essential materials to the city.
