EHS Steering Committee

Swire Properties' EHS Steering Committee (EHSSC) was formed in 2002 to support the environmental initiatives of Swire Group Environmental Committee and to drive EHS performance strategies within Swire Properties. The EHSSC will evolve into Sustainable Development Steering Committee and develop action plans for implementation.

Environmental Management and Awareness Training

Our Environmental Awareness Training covers aspects such as air, energy, waste and water management. It also illustrates the efforts of the Company and how employees can contribute.

Environmental Performance Evaluation and Monitoring

From our stakeholder Government: In terms of adopting a Safety Management System, Swire Properties has been proactive in going beyond compliance. It would be worthwhile to report on the Company's health and safety policy, EHS challenges ahead and plans to deal with them.

We continue to develop and operate new buildings to achieve the highest rating according to the Building Environmental Assessment Method (BEAM), which in turn gives us a comprehensive guideline on environmental aspects and provides a platform for benchmarking with the latest international standards.

We are among the first wave of property companies to establish an online EHS database system for collecting environmental data from various commercial portfolios and construction sites.

A Safety Management System Steering Committee (SMSSC) was established to set strategies for the Company and drive health and safety awareness through training of our employees.

Procurement and Supply Chain

An Environmental Procurement Portal customised for procurement of building materials with preferred product list and EHS management plan requirements for service providers was launched in November 2007. To further address corporate social responsibility issues in supply chain, a task force will be formed to identify key risks and action plan in 2008.
