Sustainable Development Report 2020

About our report

About our report

This is our 14th annual sustainable development report. It was published in June 2021 and covers the financial year from 1st January to 31st December 2020. We aim to provide an accurate and balanced account of the Group’s performance and progress in material areas of sustainability.

This report focuses on the five areas of SwireTHRIVE – Climate, Waste, Water, People and Communities – as these are the Group’s strategic sustainability priorities. We also deal with matters which are important to stakeholders, required for compliance with regulations or which rating agencies expect us to address (see Other ESG disclosures section).

This report deals with the Group as a whole. We also highlight information about individual operating companies. Some operating companies produce their own sustainability reports. They can be found on our corporate website.

The report is in English and traditional Chinese. It can be viewed online or downloaded as a PDF from the report website. Performance data can be downloaded as a CSV file.

This report has been approved by our Board.

This report covers subsidiaries of Swire Pacific and certain of its associated and joint venture companies where the Group has operational control. Performance data is reported on a 100% basis and has not been proportioned to reflect Swire Pacific’s shareholdings in operating companies. We do not include newly acquired entities until we have a full calendar year’s data from them. The scope, boundary and calculation methodology for specific data points are disclosed in a separate reporting methodology document.

This report complies with the HKEX ESG Guide. It has been prepared with reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards. GRI and HKEX content indices are provided.

We refer to the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). We support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We are reviewing the SDGs most relevant for our expanded strategy and aim to report on this in 2021.

Certain data points are the subject of limited assurance by Deloitte. Please see the Limited Assurance Statement.

Our 2020 Annual Report deals with our financial and operational performance and corporate governance.

We respond to enquiries from investors and provide information to the CDP (Climate and Water), the DJSI, FTSE4Good, MSCI and other organisations which assess the economic, environmental and social performance of companies.
