23 SWIRE PROPERTIES ANNUAL REPORT 2024 The opening of Taikoo Square in 2024 marked a major milestone in realising our vision for urban biodiversity, showcasing our ambitious work in biophilic design and nature-based placemaking at Taikoo Place in Hong Kong. In 2024, our community investment initiatives made a significant contribution. Through our Community Ambassador Programme, over 3,000 ambassadors dedicated their time to various community projects. In particular, our signature “Books for Love” campaign raised over HK$1.3 million for charity, whilst promoting literacy and reducing waste in the city. We also held the “LITTLE FASHION FOR LOVE” event at the Quarryside community centre, in partnership with St. James’ Settlement’s Green Little, raising awareness amongst the younger generation about sustainable fashion. We continue to empower youth through diverse programmes that foster creativity, leadership, and community engagement, preparing them to shape a sustainable future. In 2024, the Swire Properties Placemaking Academy organised our largest ever White Christmas Street Fair in numerous locations around Taikoo Place, attracting more than 80,000 visitors over five days and supporting local businesses and district tourism. Additionally, the Bi-city Youth Cultural Leadership Programme, now in its third edition, engaged 130 university students from Beijing and Hong Kong, fostering cultural exchange and nurturing future leaders. Outlook Despite the challenging market conditions, we are making good progress on many fronts. Our HK$100 billion investment plan underscores our commitment to responsible, long-term investments, and we have now been recognised as a global sustainability leader in our field. We greatly appreciate the continued support of our shareholders and all our partners. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to the team at Swire Properties for their collective efforts which have contributed so significantly to our achievements this year. Tim Blackburn Chief Executive Hong Kong, 13th March 2025
