(1) This table covers EHS data from wholly owned buildings only.
(2) Increase in 2007 due to more projects by our landscaping company, Oriental Landscape Ltd.
(3) CO2e emission = activity data (kWh) x emission factor (kg CO2e/kWh). The 2007 emission factor is 0.58kg CO2e/kWh as advised by China Light & Power (CLP) and 0.836 kg CO2e/kWh by Hongkong Electric (HKE).
(4) Data collected since 2005. Major increase in use of paper is mainly due to increase in contract transactions.
(5) Renovation commenced in May 2007 at Pacific Place and no wastewater has been produced since then.
(6) The defects of the pneumatic tank in the flushing water system were fixed and malfunction of water meter between January and March 2006, thus these result in variances between 2006 and 2007.
(7) More potable water was used to lower the conductivity of the water system at Festival Walk leading to more water being reused for flushing from February to March 2007. Also, the newly open retail area at Pacific Place in 2007 increased the amount of water use for flushing.
(8) Increase in 2007 due to the new One Island East and EAST hotel projects.
(9) Increase in 2007 due to increase of commercial customers which generated more waste.
(10) Increase in 2007 due to more projects by our landscaping company - Oriental Landscape Ltd.
(11) Accident rate = no. of reportable accidents/ no. of employees x 1,000.
(12) 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.
