We also urge our tenants to have in place internal guidelines on fresh and flushing water, as these help us comply with enhancements to the Hong Kong government’s voluntary “Quality Water Supply Scheme for Buildings”. We aim to manage water risk and reduce overall water consumption under the Water focus area. The relevant SDGs are: SDG 6 Ensuring availability and sustainable water management. SDG 12 Ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns. Water Policy Swire Properties’ Water Policy has been updated to focus on our responsible use of water. Pursuant to this policy, we aim to design and implement efficient water management measures across our operations, ensuring water resource is discharged into the environment safely, and encourage our employees and tenants to consume water responsibly, among other action items. In 2022, we conducted a review of our Water Policy to ensure alignment with global best practices and the latest regulations, and to better reflect water-related issues that are material to Swire Properties. The policy has been updated to strengthen our commitments around the responsible use of water. This includes understanding the water risks in the locations of our developments, reducing water- consumption intensity through improved design, implementing efficient water management measures during operations, ensuring that water is discharged into the environment safely, and engaging our stakeholders to encourage the responsible consumption of water.
