About This Report
This is our first Sustainability Report, demonstrating our commitment to transparency
and accountability to our stakeholders. Since 2009, we have incorporated our
corporate social responsibility (CSR) report into our annual and interim reports.
In order to provide a more in-depth coverage of our sustainability activities and
performance, we have decided to publish an annual Sustainability Report starting
from 2011. A summary of this Report has been incorporated into our Annual
Report 2010/11 and the full version is available in our corporate website at
www.hopewellholdings.com/SUSTAINABILITY.
Scope of the Report
This Report presents our company-wide economic, environmental and social
performance during the 2010/11 financial year, from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2011.
It covers the activities of the Group, its key subsidiaries and joint venture operations
central to our core business activities in Hong Kong and Mainland China. Given that this is
our first comprehensive Sustainability Report, we will further develop our data collection
systems to report on more environmental and social indicators in future Reports.
How We Report
The content of this Report has been defined by a process of stakeholder engagement
to identify and prioritise key issues of concern. Reviewing the reports of sector
leaders and identifying material issues to report on has also influenced our data
collection process. We report on both qualitative and quantitative information
taking into account the specific reporting period.
Measuring our Performance
We have included commitments and future targets in this Report. These enable us
to track and guide our performance to better manage efforts in addressing our key
sustainability impacts.
Report Application Level
We have written this Report according to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)
sustainability reporting G3.1 framework. We are pleased to declare our achievement
of a B level Report.
