Sustainable Development
Swire Pacific Sustainable Development Policy
We adopt this policy because:
- Long-term value creation for our shareholders depends on the sustainable development¹ of our businesses and the communities in which we operate.
- We wish to excel as corporate citizens.
Our policy:
- Industry leadership: We will work with others to promote sustainable development in the industries in which we operate.
- In our operations: We will meet or exceed all legal requirements and:
- Be a good steward of the natural resources and biodiversity under our influence and ensure that all potential adverse impacts of our operations on the environment are identified and appropriately managed.
- Operate as far as is reasonably practicable in a manner which safeguards the health and safety of all our stakeholders.
- Strive to be an employer of choice by providing an environment in which all employees are treated fairly and with respect and can realise their full potential.
- Favour suppliers and contractors who promote sustainable development and encourage the responsible use of our products and services by our customers and consumers.
- Promote good relationships with the communities of which we are a part and enhance their capabilities while respecting people's culture and heritage.
Making it happen:
- All companies in which Swire Pacific has a controlling interest will have action plans for applying this policy in a way which is relevant to their business. We will encourage other companies in which we have an interest as a shareholder or through our supply chain to implement similar policies.
- We will encourage and empower our staff to be proactive on sustainable development matters both at work and in the community.
- We will monitor our performance and report regularly.
- We will review this policy periodically, having regard in particular to stakeholder dialogues.
