As at 31st December 2022, the SMS across our Hong Kong portfolio and 4 of our 6 Chinese Mainland portfolio are certified under ISO 45001:2018 by Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency and China Quality Certification Centre. In 2022, we extended the ISO 45001:2018 certification to our managed residential portfolio in Hong Kong. The provision of healthy and safe workplaces is critical to our continued success. In 2022, we developed strategies to further integrate health and safety considerations into every part of our business. This approach is supported by strong leadership and management endorsement and oversight. Health and safety issues and performance are standard agenda items that are presented and discussed at monthly Executive Committee meetings chaired by the Chief Executive, reported in quarterly board papers and reviewed at every board meeting. The Chief Executive is accountable and oversees the implementation of OHS matters. Health and safety performance indicators are also presented to our parent company, Swire Pacific on a quarterly basis. Employee Engagement and Communication Effective communication and employee engagement are essential elements of our Zero Harm strategy. In 2022, we strengthened these elements by setting up quarterly health and safety communication sessions with all heads of departments and general managers. This has created a new two-way communication platform with the management team, which facilitates the efficient implementation of initiatives and sharing of essential feedback, enhancing awareness and promoting ownership of issues. Swire Properties has Safety Management System Steering Committees (SMSSCs) in place in Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland. These are chaired by our Head of Health and Safety and include health and safety representatives from each portfolio. The SMSSCs meet quarterly to monitor and evaluate the Company’s safety performance, risks and progress towards targets. Findings and updates from the SMSSCs are communicated down to the portfolio level through each portfolio’s Health and Safety Working Group and human resources department. Similar health and safety coordination meetings are held with representatives from Swire Hotels and Brickell City Centre in Miami on a quarterly basis. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2022 98
