The aim is to lead innovative changes in the built environment, achieving harmonious coexistence among businesses, communities, and nature, while aligning with the company's business development in Hong Kong, mainland China, and Southeast Asia. The strategic focus includes goals related to climate transition, nature and biodiversity, and tenant engagement programs. SWIRE PROPERTIES stated that the new strategy further reflects the company's long-term commitment to sustainability as the core of its operations. ## The new strategy framework includes four commitments and five pillars The recently announced 2050 Sustainability Strategy responds to the "Where Next" initiative, aiming to create long-term value for key stakeholders such as investors, employees, tenants, customers, residents, business partners, visitors, and the community. Centered around four long-term commitments of zero harm, net-zero carbon emissions, zero waste to landfill, and water neutrality, the innovative strategy is established under five pillars: community building, human-centricity, partnership collaboration, environmental sustainability, and economic benefits. Over the next decade, it will drive impactful changes through a total of 140 performance indicators. ## Key strategic goals include green finance and climate transition SWIRE PROPERTIES stated that key strategic goals include achieving climate transition, meaning the company will become the first real estate developer in Hong Kong and mainland China to have short-term, long-term, and net-zero targets certified under the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) building standards, and will strive to meet these relevant goals. Secondly, as part of a new "Nature Transition Program," the company aims to achieve natural gains throughout the building lifecycle, covering land acquisition and procurement processes, as well as integrating nature and biodiversity-friendly solutions into the planning and design of new development projects. It will further expand tenant engagement programs, committing to achieve 70% participation of office tenants in the "Environmental Performance Charter," 100 retail tenants in the "Green Retail Partnership," and 35% of dining tenants in the "Green Kitchen" program by 2030 or earlier; and committing that by 2035 or earlier, over 90% of its bond and loan financing will come from green finance. ## The new strategy will promote continuous innovation across all business levels SWIRE PROPERTIES CEO, Toby Tye, stated that the new strategy establishes a clear sustainability vision. It is formulated in response to the rapidly changing global environment, evolving stakeholder expectations, and increasingly frequent extreme weather events, while building on existing achievements to open the next chapter in the company's sustainability journey. Additionally, the new strategy will drive continuous innovation across all business levels, strengthening partnerships to collaboratively build a more sustainable future for the community ### Related Stocks - [01972.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/01972.HK.md) ## Related News & Research - [Swire Pacific (SWRAY) to Release Earnings on Thursday](https://longbridge.com/en/news/278264903.md) - [Hong Kong’s 2nd richest billionaires Peter and Martin Lee’s Henderson Land secures city’s first biodiversity loan](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286508532.md) - [ZAWYA: Omantel wins platinum award in ESG category at Oman Sustainability Week Awards](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286911913.md) - [07:34 ETSANY Heavy Industry veröffentlicht Nachhaltigkeitsbericht 2025](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286557656.md) - [Island Pharmaceuticals Strengthens Biodefence Engagement for Galidesivir Advancement](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286834766.md)
