Data has been restated following an improvement made to the measures for data collection from Swire Coca Cola so as to include all renewable electricity for 2021. 4. Swire Paci昀椀c currently reports the major portion of its Scope 3 GHG emissions, which includes Scope 3 emissions for Swire Properties, Swire Coca-Cola and Taikoo Motors, and a proportion of the Cathay Paci昀椀c Group and Hong Kong Aero Engine Services Limited total Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions. The reported 昀椀gures accounts for more than 90% of Swire Paci昀椀c total Scope 3 GHG emissions. 5. We account for 45% of Cathay Paci昀椀c Group’s total GHG emissions under the Group’s scope 3 emissions, which is the same as our percentage ordinary shareholding interest in Cathay Paci昀椀c. 6. We account for 50% of Hong Kong Aero Engine Services Limited (HAESL)’s total GHG emissions under the Group’s scope 3 emissions as HAESL is a joint venture company between Rolls-Royce and HAECO group. 7. It is assumed that all GHG gases (except CO2) are negligible. 8. Data refers to the gross emissions. 9. Scope 3 emissions for Trading & Industrial has only included Scope 3 emissions from Taikoo Motors as it accounts for a major portion of the Group’s Scope 3 GHG emissions. 10. For 2022, the environmental and H&S data for Swire Paci昀椀c O昀昀shore companies covers the period from January to 22 April 2022 as it was divested since 22 April 2022. 11. For 2021, the environmental and H&S data for Hongkong United Dockyards HUD Group covers the period from January to September as it was divested since October 2021. 12. Total water withdrawal refers to the sum of water drawn from municipal water and groundwater. Virtually all water withdrawal by the Swire Paci昀椀c Group is from municipal water supplies provided by local water supply authorities. 13. We used the World Resource Institute (WRI) Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas tool to map our water withdrawal by water stress levels. 14. According to GRI 303-5, water consumption is de昀椀ned as volume of water that is drawn into the boundaries of the organisation and not discharged back to the water environment or a third-party. Swire Coca-Cola is our largest consumer of water (>99%). It has provided its total water consumption. 15. Sta昀昀 data only relates to permanent sta昀昀 (permanent full time sta昀昀, permanent part time sta昀昀 and 昀椀xed contract employees in the Chinese mainland). 16. In 2022, we updated our gender pay gap calculation method to produce a weighted average. The calculation is ((total pay for females / total number of females) – (total pay for males / total number of males)) / (total pay for males / total number of males). 17.
