In 2021, with 50% of management positions within the organisation today held by women, and women making up 49% of senior management positions are held by women, as well as a gender pay ratio of 1:1.07 female to male employees, we are committed to providing fair and bias-free processes for recruiting, developing and promoting our employees. Empowering women and girls and achieving gender equality in the workplace is an ongoing priority, as we continue to foster an inclusive and supportive working environment for all our people. RESEARCH PARTNERSHIPS Swire Properties has collaborated with Tsinghua University’s Joint Research Centre for Building Energy Efficiency and Sustainability since 2011, developing and testing new methods for increasing energy efficiency and improving environmental performance in our projects. This partnership has led to the development of systems which collect operational data, generating substantial energy savings and allowing us to share new ideas and practices with our employees, business partners, industry peers and other researchers. With this collaboration , we are working together to push the boundaries of traditional building management by developing new artificial intelligence technologies, improving indoor air quality and increasing the use of renewable energy, among other measures. DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION PROVIDING LEADERSHIP FOR AN EVER-CHANGING INDUSTRY 49% Gender pay ratio (female to male) 1:1.07 Management position are held by women Senior management positions are held by women 50% Understanding the ultimate impact of the places we develop and manage on people and the environment is crucial to our long-term decision making. In 2020, we released our first Places Impact Report, focusing on Hong Kong’s Island East – an area in which Swire has invested for 135 years – addressing the question “What makes a great place?”. Examining both the tangible and intangible attributes of Taikoo Place and the following year, Taikoo Li Sanlitun, where our second report was published in conjunction with Tsinghua University’s Lab for Architectural Programming and Post-Occupancy Evaluation. Assessing how Swire Properties’ placemaking and placekeeping efforts have had a positive impact on the neighbourhood in Beijing’s Chaoyang District and surrounding area over the past 12 years, it applies the “Places Impact Framework” to explore the four dimensions of place – Vibrancy, Livelihood, Wellbeing and Resilience. The Tsinghua team’s academic research highlighted how Swire Properties’ continued investment in both hardware and software, as well as the multi-layered placemaking and placekeeping elements, have contributed to Taikoo Li Sanlitun’s resilience, intrigue and continued impact. This comprehensive and innovative approach to assessing our developments has broadened how we define success, and will inform and enhance our work in the future.

These include the Hong Kong Green Shop Alliance, the Green Kitchen Initiative and our Sustainability Fit-out Guide for Tenants. TENANT PARTNERSHIPS The Loop at Devon House in Taikoo Place and The Loop at INDIGO in Beijing are our sustainable development exhibition centres and their community engagement and urban farm concept has been extended to other properties across Hong Kong, including One Island East, One Pacific Place, Citygate Outlets and South Island Place. These interactive spaces aim to increase environmental awareness and encourage tenants and the wider community to “close the loop” by incorporating sustainable practices into their business operations and everyday lives.
