These evaluations cover Wetland Seasons Park, PARK YOHO, Sai Sha and Tung Shing Lei Development Projects. We also developed management plans to minimize potential impacts on the environment. During impacts of our projects, their dependence on ecosystems, and establish baseline environmental performance, biodiversity-related targets for developments in priority areas and sustainable long-termmanagement proposals in the operation phase, where applicable. We prioritize development locations that minimize environmental impact, following a systematic mitigation hierarchy to avoid, minimize, restore and offset adverse effects. the reporting year, no significant biodiversity risks were identified across operations. Tree conservation remains a cornerstone of our environmental stewardship. Hong Yip implements standardized horticultural maintenance aligned with Tree Management Office and Property Management Services Authority Best Practice Guides. We conduct regular tree-health assessments with risk- categorization indices, pre-rainy season maintenance to prevent overgrowth and disease, and enhanced post-storm inspections for rapid damage identification and response.

As a responsible property developer, we acknowledge our operational impacts on nature and biodiversity, and implemented conservation measures through our comprehensive governance framework. Our Environmental Policy, Sustainable Building Policy and Supplier Code of Conduct provide strategic direction for biodiversity preservation and impact mitigation. To mitigate our ecological impacts and support biodiversity, we collaborate with professionals, secure government approvals, and engage with business partners throughout the project planning and construction stages. We engage environmental and ecological consultants to study and survey sites prior to submitting development proposals to the government according to statutory requirements. This practice helps us assess the potential Based on the mitigation hierarchy, our biodiversity conservation efforts include:
