MENU PPLLACACEESS PEOPLE PARTNERS PERFORMANCE PERFORMANCE (ENVIRONMENT) (ECONOMIC) Places Highlights of Our Developments Places Impact Report Vibrancy Livelihood Wellbeing Resilience We employ an integrated design approach to our projects in accordance with the requirements of several internationally recognised standards and rating schemes, such as BEAM Plus, LEED, The China Green Building Design Label and WELL. These standards set out the requirements of physical and social environments that benefit the health, well-being and productivity of people. Our new development projects will, as far as practicable, pursue credits under these green building standards and rating systems, to promote social integration. The following initiatives represent Swire Properties’ alignment with the social integration criteria in our projects under development and existing portfolio in 2022. • 100% of our properties are located in close proximity to transportation hubs, with pedestrian-friendly networks that are well connected with transit stations and amenities. Free shuttle bus services are available at some of our portfolios. Bicycle parking facilities are provided at most of our properties. • 100% of our properties have accessible, inclusive and barrier-free pedestrian networks. • 98% of our properties have open spaces and venues designed for and dedicated to community and arts events. • For common areas, approximately 83% and 80% of buildings in our Hong Kong portfolio and our Chinese Mainland portfolio achieved IAQ Excellent Class and fulfilled the local IAQ standard respectively. • In March 2023, we published our third Places Impact Report, exploring the social and economic placemaking impacts of our Taikoo Hui Guangzhou development. The research highlights how Swire Properties’ continued investment in both hardware and software have contributed to the resilience of Taikoo Hui Guangzhou and its communities. • Swire Properties’ Placemaking Academy is back again in 2022, offering Hong Kong university students the opportunity to design, plan and execute the White Christmas Street Fair. Through this programme, we hope to transfer creative knowledge and skills to participants and empower them to support Swire Properties’ long-term community-building initiatives.
