Introduction

Swire Pacific Limited (Swire Pacific or the Group) is a highly diversified conglomerate and one of the leading companies in Hong Kong. It has five operating divisions: Property, Aviation, Beverages, Marine Services and Trading & Industrial. Its business activities are predominantly in Greater China, where it has been established for over 150 years.

Sustainable development has always been a core principle for the Group. We invest in sustainable development because it is the right thing to do, and because it supports the creation of long-term shareholder value through innovation and improved efficiency.

In 2020, we extended SwireTHRIVE, our strategy for sustainable development, to cover our people and communities.

We have published sustainability reports since 2007. This report deals with our approach and performance in the five areas of SwireTHRIVE (Climate, Waste, Water, People and Communities) and with secondary environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics that have been identified as material.

This report was published in June 2021. It is additional to the Sustainable Development Review in the Swire Pacific Annual Report 2020. Key performance data has been independently assured by Deloitte.
