Performance data

Notes:

1. Totals may not be the exact sum of numbers shown here due to rounding.
2. For the Cathay Pacific Group, only CO₂ emissions for aviation turbine fuel are reported as there is no scientific consensus on the global warming effect of other emissions. Cathay Pacific monitors developments in these areas of atmospheric science – studies from the UK’s OMEGA aviation and environment project and the Institute of Atmospheric Physics at the German Aerospace Centre.
3. Total water withdrawal refers to the water drawn from municipal water supplies and groundwater. Virtually all of our water withdrawal is from municipal water supplies provided by local water supply authorities.
4. We used the World Resource Institute (WRI) Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas tool to map our water withdrawal by water stress levels.
5. According to GRI 303-5, water consumption is defined as the volume of water that is drawn into the boundaries of the organisation and not discharged back to the water environment or a third-party. Swire Coca-Cola is our largest consumer of water (>99%). It has provided its total water consumption.
6. This figure excludes on-hire vessel fuel consumption as this belongs to scope 3 as defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.
7. The number included in the 2019 report (which was estimated) has been revised to actual.
8. In 2020, Swire Properties' non-hazardous recycled waste includes food waste sent to O·Park for energy recovery.
9. Staff data only relates to permanent staff (permanent full time staff, permanent part time staff and fixed contract employees in the Chinese mainland).
10. Total number of employees differs from that reported on page 49 of the 2020 Swire Pacific Annual Report, which is calculated using the average over 2020. Employee numbers in the sustainability report are as at 31 December 2020.
11. Please refer to the 2019 sustainable development report for 2019 data scoping and boundaries.
12. References in this document to Hong Kong are to Hong Kong SAR, to Macau are to Macao SAR and to Taiwan are to the Taiwan region.

18. Denotes sustainability data that has been assured on by Deloitte. Please refer to the independent limited assurance report for further details.
