Zhong Ji Longevity Science Group Limited (Zhong Ji LS, 00767.HK) has released its 2025 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, covering operations from 1 January to 31 December 2025. The disclosure focuses on the Group’s Hong Kong office, its principal operating base, and outlines governance, environmental, social and risk-management performance.
The Board retains full responsibility for ESG strategy, meeting at least annually to set targets and review progress. A Risk Control Committee—comprising risk management, business development and finance executives—handles day-to-day climate and ESG oversight and reports to the Board twice a year.
Environmental metrics show a sharp rise in emissions and energy use following headcount growth to 36 employees at the Hong Kong office (from 20 in 2024). Total greenhouse-gas emissions climbed to 32.67 tCO₂e in 2025 from 11.70 tCO₂e a year earlier, lifting intensity to 0.91 tCO₂e per employee (2024: 0.59). Electricity-linked Scope 2 emissions were 30.21 tCO₂e versus 8.11 tCO₂e in 2024, while Scope 3 emissions declined to 2.46 tCO₂e (2024: 3.59). Indirect energy use rose to 62,262 kWh, up 191.6% year on year, with per-employee consumption at 1,447.95 kWh (2024: 1,067.50 kWh).
Despite higher energy demand, waste management improved: non-hazardous paper waste fell 64.0% to 269.31 kg, reducing intensity to 6.26 kg per employee (2024: 37.42). Packaging consumption totalled 95 kg of cartons, linked to a new product launch. The company committed to joining WWF’s Earth Hour campaign annually, reiterated its goal of carbon neutrality by 2050 in line with Hong Kong’s Climate Action Plan, and plans ongoing GHG inventories and efficiency measures.
Workforce data show 43 employees as of 31 December 2025, split 56% male and 44% female. Staff turnover rose to 21.82% (2024: 5.17%), driven mainly by departures in mainland China operations. Training coverage reached 95% of employees, averaging 6.11 hours each, and no work-related fatalities or lost-time injuries were recorded for the third consecutive year.
The Group maintained full compliance with environmental, labour, health-and-safety, data-privacy and anti-corruption regulations across Hong Kong and mainland China. No legal cases related to corruption were concluded during the year. Supplier oversight encompassed three key vendors—two in mainland China and one in Hong Kong—assessed on quality, pricing and ESG criteria.
Zhong Ji LS identified both transition and physical climate risks—including stricter regulatory requirements and extreme weather—but has yet to publish a detailed transition plan. Carbon pricing is not currently employed, and no external validation of emission-reduction targets has been obtained.
Management stated that, given the Group’s financial-services-focused business model, direct climate risks remain low; nevertheless, annual reviews of energy, waste and emissions targets will continue as part of the commitment to achieving net-zero by 2050.
