Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited (SHKP) recently released its Sustainability Report 2024/25, which showcases its progress and achievements in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) and sustainability during the reporting year. 

In pursuit of enhanced transparency and accountability, the Group has prepared this year's disclosures with reference to a broader range of global reporting standards, including the IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information issued by the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB), and the recommendations from the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). This positions SHKP at the forefront of evolving sustainability reporting standards.

In response to national and regional climate action imperatives, the Group continues to progress towards decarbonisation. By referencing the ISSB's IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures, the Group communicates its climate transition progress through a globally recognised framework. Building on last year's double materiality assessment, SHKP has also deepened its engagement with internal stakeholders to enhance the management of material ESG risks and opportunities.

The Group's commitment to sustainability excellence continues to earn recognition, highlighted by an upgraded "AA" rating in the latest MSCI ESG Ratings. For the second consecutive year, SHKP has maintained its position in the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Asia Pacific Index, the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2025 and has been recognised as an ESG Regional Top Rated company by Morningstar Sustainalytics.

In recent years, Hong Kong has frequently been affected by typhoons and heavy rain, resulting in significant losses. Hong Yip Service Company Limited (Hong Yip) places a high priority on the safety of its customers. To address extreme weather, the Company has introduced innovative smart technology with the launch of a new digital "Smart Typhoon Monitoring and Management Platform". This platform aims to establish a 24/7 efficient risk management system, providing comprehensive monitoring and management to help property management teams effectively prepare defensive measures and ensure the safety of residents.

In response to extreme weather conditions, Hong Yip developed the "Smart Typhoon Monitoring and Management Platform" through a three-step approach: "Defense—Response—Alert". Utilising automation, cloud computing, and big data technologies, the smart platform collects open data from the Hong Kong Observatory and combines it with the actual conditions of the properties to provide real-time updates. This allows the teams to respond to typhoon season across three phases, i.e. pre-typhoon, during the typhoon, and post-typhoon, with appropriate preventive measures, follow-ups, notifications, management, monitoring, analysis, and safety assessments. Frontline staff can stay updated on the latest typhoon developments at any time and assist in completing all necessary typhoon defense tasks in advance to ensure the safety for customers.

Additionally, the platform includes other smart features, such as photo documentation, window inspections, and quick checks, to comprehensively record the progress of emergency work checklists. This significantly enhances the team's work efficiency and emergency crisis management capabilities, ensuring property operations remain safe during typhoon events and playing an essential role in addressing extreme weather.
