In the Carbon Disclosure Project*, we
showed that our accumulated electricity saving was an estimated
15,000 MWh in 2007, which equates to a total reduction of 11,902
tonnes of CO2e emission. The electricity
saving is expected to double (30,000 MWh) by the end of 2010.

| 15,000 MWh of
electricity is equivalent to |
|
| Annual electricity generated from 15 wind
turbines or |
| Annual electricity consumption of 11 Taikoo
Shing residential blocks or |
| Reduced CO2 emission
by 538,000 trees |

From
our stakeholder
"Retail
tenant (Pacific Place): Swire Properties
has carried out many innovative environmental
initiatives, e.g. crushed glass paving*, and
water-cooled air-conditioning to reduce energy
consumption. Swire Properties should also
report on its environmental
policy and efforts under the Carbon
Disclosure Project."

We
conducted a pilot study in 2006 to recycle
waste glass bottles for use in new paving
bricks, which achieved similar performance
to bricks produced with virgin materials. |
