Health & Safety Policy

Our business objectives should never be allowed to compromise safety. We believe that all incidents are preventable. As a developer, owner and operator of mixed-use properties, Swire Properties Limited (the “Company”) is committed to providing and maintaining a healthy and safe environment for all employees, customers, contractors and members of our community during their association with the Company.

While all operations involve risk, we aim to achieve the ultimate goal of zero harm through demonstrating solid leadership and effective management of occupational health and safety in the design, planning and conduct of all business activities. In our operations our priority is to safeguard the health and safety of all stakeholders. It is the policy of the Company to:

Seek continuous improvement to match changes in community expectations, business performance, scientific knowledge and technology;

 (d)

Establish health and safety KPIs and implement measures to monitor performance and to achieve significant and continuous improvement. Comments from employees are considered an important part of the review process;
