Explanatory Notes:

Data verified after the revamp of EHS database, and thus different from data listed in EHS Report 2005. All data excluded buildings that are not owned or managed under Swire Properties Ltd.
Data collection initiated after the revamp of EHS database, and thus data is not available before 2005.
Figure based on the number of reportable accidents by law.
Figure covers employees during and on their way to and from work.
Figure calculated based on the methodology adopted by the HKSAR Labour Department for incident rate per 1,000 workers/employees.
Figure represents the total number of work hours lost to accidents divided by the total hours worked, then multiplied by 200,000 work hours, where 200,000 work hours is the equivalent base of 100 full-time employees working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year.

Increment due to increase in temporary power supply to auxiliary equipment at Festival Walk.
Increment due to refrigerant replacement in a large-scale maintenance of chillers in Pacific Place.
Increment due to deterioration of gaskets in Pacific Place leading to substantial leakage of HFCs.
Increment due to the newly built Three Pacific Place.
Increment due to increase in occupancy rate and temporary works.
Increment due to a large-scale curtain wall replacement.
Reduction due to exclusion of waste plastic bags.
Increment due to unusual low construction activities in 2005, but restored to normal condition in 2006.
Reduction due to less active building development activities.
