Although the majority of our portfolio is located in urban areas where biodiversity issues are usually not material, we have conducted assessments at all of our existing properties and projects under development to determine the status of biodiversity and its importance to the places that we develop and the surrounding natural environment. These assessments have shown that none of our existing properties contain or are located adjacent to areas of globally or nationally important biodiversity. Biodiversity Guidelines In 2022, we started to develop Swire Properties Biodiversity Guidelines suitable for Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland. The guidelines are designed to define the importance of biodiversity and the Company’s approach to protecting it across our developments. The guidelines will explain the importance of biodiversity, various laws and regulations and recommended actions Swire Properties can take to protect and enhance biodiversity across all stages of our current and future properties.
