GHG intensity improved to 0.97 tCO₂e per headcount from 1.07 tCO₂e. • Scope 2 electricity-related emissions (the largest contributor) dropped to 8.54 tCO₂e, while Scope 1 petrol-related emissions declined to 6.91 tCO₂e. • Electricity usage reached 12,965 kWh, translating to 810 kWh per employee, versus 13,209 kWh and 734 kWh per employee a year earlier. • Petrol consumption totalled 25,159 kWh, equal to 1,572 kWh per employee, marginally below 2024’s 25,713 kWh. • The group met its 2023-to-2025 goal of cutting total GHG intensity by 5% and has set a new target to reduce 2025-baseline GHG intensity a further 10% by 2030.

Governance and Compliance • The board directly oversees ESG strategy, meeting at least twice yearly to review progress. • No material non-compliance was noted with environmental, labour, health-and-safety or anti-corruption regulations; zero corruption cases were recorded. • The supply chain comprised 18 active suppliers—nine in Mainland China, eight in Hong Kong and one in Singapore—subject to qualification, site visits and ESG criteria.
