Throughout the years, the Group has incorporated a strategic management approach to the business and actively engages with stakeholders to understand their needs and thoughts. Our vision is to improve quality of life and the environment through socially responsible property development, property investment and property management. We are committed to our sustainability goals and continuously fine tune company practices, policies and strategies to produce strong Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") performance. We firmly believe that a successful ESG program will enable members of the Group to optimize operational performance, identify and mitigate risks and gain a competitive advantage in the industry.

Caring for the environment
Climate change, pollution and overexploitation of natural resources all pose a substantial threat to society and the long-term sustainability of our natural systems. For this reason, the Group remains dedicated to doing our part to protect the environment and conserve natural resources. Over the years, we have strived to minimize the negative impacts arising from our operations by proactively adopting environmentally-friendly measures and policies in forms of reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions; reducing waste; and using resources wisely.
Caring for our employees
Employees are an integral part of our Company and we are devoted to providing our staff with a fulfilling work experience and career advancement. The Group implements different measures to recruit the best talents, help employees develop their full potentials and protect them from harm in the workplace.
Promoting work-life balance
We understand that employees view achieving a healthy work-life balance as a primary concern and the Group makes every endeavor to promote this goal. Starting 1 January 2019, we eliminated the alternate Saturday workday in our Hong Kong office and switched to a five-day work week so that employees can enjoy weekends with families and friends.
Activities for our employees
Employees are invited to participate in corporate events like Christmas Lunch, Chinese New Year Lunch, and Annual Dinner as well as other leisure activities such as recreational group outings, birthday parties, speech competitions and flower arrangement activities etc. By organizing different activities, the Group hopes not only to enhance the sense of belonging among employees but also foster a warm and friendly working environment.
