China Tobacco International (HK) Company Limited (CTIHK) has published its 2025 Sustainability Report, outlining a reinforced ESG governance structure, an expanded carbon-emissions inventory and new supply-chain oversight measures.
Key corporate-level developments • Board oversight: the board remains the highest decision-making body on sustainability, supported by an ESG Task Force that reports regularly to directors. Four management systems—governance, policy and regulation, risk, and development indices—now backstop implementation. • “GROW” framework: the company’s environmental and social roadmap is organised around Green development, Community engagement, Supply-chain optimisation and People-centric well-being.
Climate-change and environmental metrics • Greenhouse gases: total emissions reached 1.14 million tCO₂-e; 99.89 % stemmed from Scope 3 categories, disclosed for the first time. Scope 1 and 2 accounted for 0.11 % (1,272 tCO₂-e). • Air pollutants: NOx 0.69 t; SOx 0.007 t; CO 2.35 t; total PM 0.02 t. • Energy use: 4.81 million kWh, equal to 10,526 kWh per employee. • Water consumption: 7,180 m³, or 15.71 m³ per employee. • Waste: 11.40 t of hazardous and 90.66 t of non-hazardous waste generated; waste intensity was 0.22 kg per employee.
Operational and supply-chain initiatives • STP participation: subsidiary China Brasil Tabacos Exportadora (CBT) joined the global Sustainable Tobacco Program, auditing eight dimensions from soil health to labour rights. • Traceability: the Growers Management System now monitors 23,935 contracted farmers for labour, environmental and input-use compliance; 69 % have adopted no-till or minimum-till practices. • Carbon-smart logistics: route optimisation trimmed storage and transport costs by HKD1.40 million and shortened delivery times by up to three months.
People and community • Headcount: 457 employees (73 in Hong Kong, 384 in Brazil); 45 % of staff under 40. • Training: 100 % employee coverage; average 8.10 training hours, with women receiving 12.88 hours. • Health & safety: zero work-related fatalities; lost-time injuries reduced to zero days. • Well-being recognition: CTIHK named “Mental Health Friendly Supreme Organization” by Hong Kong’s Labour Department. • Community investment: HKD0.73 million contributed through elderly-care visits, disaster relief, wetland conservation and Brazilian education projects.
Compliance and integrity No cases of corruption, product recalls, privacy breaches or health-and-safety violations were recorded during the year. Integrity and compliance regulations were updated, and staff received targeted anti-money-laundering and anti-bribery training.
Outlook CTIHK plans to develop a decarbonisation roadmap, expand its sustainability data platform and align future disclosures with evolving Hong Kong Stock Exchange climate-reporting requirements. The company reaffirmed its commitment to support China’s 2030 peak-emissions and 2060 carbon-neutrality objectives while pursuing international expansion.
