HKEX KPI B7.2 If an employee wishes to report concerns, they contact either our human resources and administration department, their immediate supervisor, or the Swire Group internal audit department (“GIAD”); or make a report through our whistleblowing platform – this is hosted by a third-party service provider and includes a 24-hour hotline service. Third parties that deal with Swire Properties, such as customers and suppliers, are also encouraged to report their concerns either directly to GIAD or via the whistleblowing platform. Anonymous reports may be submitted. We also ensure that our contractors are aware of our Whistleblowing Policy and the different reporting platforms that are available to them. The policy was reviewed in 2022, increasing transparency around report investigations procedure and updates around policy governance. Reports and complaints made shall be retained for a period of not more than seven years, following the completion of investigation or closure of the matter. The review of the policy is placed under the Terms of Reference of Swire Properties’ Audit Committee. In 2022, we received a total of 27 whistleblowing reports, 23 cases were related to operational issues , and the rest were related to the Code. All the whistleblowing cases have been evaluated and fully resolved. We are committed to the fair treatment of any person who makes a genuine and appropriate report. In addition to making every effort to keep the identity of whistleblowers confidential, all reported information is treated in confidence, except where Swire Properties is required by law or regulation to disclose it, for legal or audit purposes, or where Swire Properties refers the matter to the relevant regulators or law enforcement authorities.
