Energy

1.5%

Water

improvement in water efficiency for Swire Beverages since 2004 through water saving initiatives such as wastewater reuse.

Waste

reduction in waste disposed compared 2016. This was achieved through our waste management “3Rs” principle — reduce, recycle and recover.

Safety

6.8%

increase in LTIR compared to 2016. This is mainly due to increased LTIR at the Cathay Pacific Group.

Community
