Protecting Our Workforce’s Health, Safety and Well-being Protecting our employees is a top priority in our operations. We manage and mitigate risks across our operations and subsidiaries, and adhere to all relevant laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate. We have set up health and safety systems and policies. Our property management and construction divisions implement ISO 45001-certified Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems where feasible, exceeding the legal minimum. The Board, via the Executive Committee, directs our group-wide occupational health and safety strategy, and oversees our health and safety performance. The Occupational Health and Safety Committee – comprising senior executives – manages health-and- safety risks, initiatives, targets and performance. Regular health and safety inspections, audits and incident investigations are conducted across all our operations to identify, mitigate and reduce risks. We offer clear evacuation plans and regular emergency drills in most of our properties. Employees are trained to respond effectively to emergencies. We conduct annual fire system inspections and drills, and provide safety training to tenants to further enhance workplace safety and security. At Kai Shing, the respective executive’s performance appraisal also incorporates health and safety KPIs as the basis for their compensation package. Hong Yip hosted its annual ESG and Occupational Safety cum Health Conference in September 2023.

Sharing sessions enhance contractors’ awareness of occupational safety 15th Work Safety Suggestion Scheme Gold Award winner sharing his innovative idea ~ 12.3% of our construction sites and managed properties in the reporting scope obtained ISO 45001 1 45001 ISO In our hotels, we identify and analyze occupational risks, including manual lifting, hand-tool injuries, and slips, trips and falls on the same level. Findings from weekly safety inspections are reported to the hotel group safety manager. Our Work Safety Suggestion Scheme encourages employees to share innovative ideas and solutions and enhances their risk awareness. The 15th scheme’s Gold Award went to Yee Fai’s project ‘Dungeon H-pile safety: See-Saw Cut’: a new way of dismantling H-piles used in dungeon construction. A ground-supported steel frame provides mechanical support for the upper and lower points of the piles, enabling easier and safer moving. The design reduces the risks of collision during dismantling, and halves the time required. To maintain a safe working environment, we train employees and contractors across our business units regularly. During the reporting year, to enhance contractors’ awareness, Sanfield organized industrial accident case study sessions related to scaffolding, safety conferences and workshops. External organizations and consultants were also invited to host safety workshops and seminars.
