In 2022, we continued our work to build an inclusive and supportive HKEX Aspect B1 working environment through policies, engagement and education. The relevant SDGs are: SDG 5 Achieving gender equality and empowering women and girls. SDG 10 Reducing inequalities within and among countries. Our commitment to promoting diversity in the workplace is documented in our Corporate Code of Conduct and our Equal Opportunities Policy, both of which are communicated to our employees through our employee handbook. Additionally, the Swire Pacific Diversity and Inclusion Steering Committee formulates policies and provides guidelines to promote a diverse workforce and an inclusive working environment across the Swire Group. In 2021, Swire Properties became a corporate member of CareER, an NGO that provides career development opportunities to persons with disabilities and special educational needs. We also began participating in the CareER Disability Inclusion Index, a comprehensive and localised assessment tool that evaluates a company’s performance in terms of disability inclusion in its operations and services. This year, we began disclosing against the 2023 Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index (“GEI”), which acknowledges the Company’s commitment to achieving gender equality. D&I Policy Our D&I Policy reaffirms our commitment to creating an inclusive and supportive working environment for all our employees regardless of age, gender or gender reassignment, sex or sexual orientation, marital or family status, disability, race (including ethnic origin or nationality), and religious or political beliefs. Our D&I Committee is chaired by our Director, Human Resources and reports to the Executive Committee (“EXCOM”) on a quarterly basis. The D&I Committee’s responsibilities include ensuring equal opportunities, advocating fair and bias-free processes for recruiting, developing and promoting our employees, and monitoring our success in achieving D&I in our workplaces. The D&I Committee also serves as a governing body to review grievances relating to discrimination. As society evolves, so have the Company’s D&I practices. In 2021, to recognise our ever-more diverse workplace, we introduced new policies on respect in the workplace, staff grievances and parental leave. These new policies help foster an inclusive and supportive working environment for all our people by creating an environment where people feel comfortable and able to reach their full potential. In turn, this produces a workplace without harassment and bullying, and in which there are proper procedures to ensure that grievances and complaints are dealt with effectively, fairly and efficiently.
