Fountain Set (Holdings) Limited released its 2025 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, outlining solid progress in decarbonisation, resource efficiency and supply-chain governance, while announcing stricter 2030 targets across emissions, energy, water and waste.
Key operating metrics • Group greenhouse-gas emissions fell 58.0% year-on-year to 277,137 tCO₂e; intensity declined 55% to 0.22 tCO₂e per tonne of production. • Total energy consumption decreased 20% to 1.75 million MWh; intensity dropped 16% to 1.39 MWh per tonne. • Water use declined 14% to 9.56 million m³; wastewater intensity fell 9% to 5.99 m³ per tonne. • Hazardous waste fell 24% to 2,060.63 tonnes; non-hazardous waste fell 5% to 52,575.27 tonnes with an overall 98% recycling rate.
New 2030 targets (baseline 2025 unless stated) • Cut GHG-emission intensity 25% (previous 18% cut against 2024 baseline already achieved). • Reduce energy-consumption intensity 10%; raise renewable-energy share to 15% of the Group’s mix. • Lower water-consumption intensity 18% (baseline 2024). • Trim hazardous-waste intensity 10%.
Project highlights • Centralised heat supply at Futian Oasis produced 1.18 million tonnes of steam, replacing small coal boilers and achieving NOₓ <30 mg/m³, SO₂ <35 mg/m³, PM <5 mg/m³. • Yancheng Fuhui commissioned a 2.25 MW rooftop solar PV system; Ocean Lanka generated 2.18 GWh from solar and mapped biomass boiler expansions for 2026-27. • Shatin Lake Side achieved >45% water reuse and saved 2,736 tonnes of standard coal through equipment upgrades.
Supply-chain and product stewardship • Active vendor screening against GOTS, GRS, OCS, PEFC/FSC and ZDHC standards; 969 suppliers assessed globally. • Zero product recalls and no material non-compliance on health, safety, advertising or labelling. • 51 utility patents held; new innovations include metal-free anti-odour fabrics, graphene prints and fluorine-free water-repellent cotton.
Awards and certifications • National Cleaner Production Award (Sri Lanka, textile-large category) and Jiangsu “Green Factory” status. • Maintained Oeko-Tex Standard 100, ISO 9001, ISO 45001, Higg FEM/FSLM verifications and multiple Regenagri, BCI and U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol memberships.
Human capital and community • Workforce totalled 4,078 with a 26% turnover rate; no work-related fatalities and one lost-time injury reported. • 13,319 training hours delivered (7.04 hours per employee); all staff covered by social insurance. • Community programmes included “Rainbow Classroom” summer school (264.5 volunteer hours) and blood-donation drives.
Governance and forward roadmap The board reaffirmed alignment with Hong Kong’s 2050 carbon-neutral blueprint and China’s “30·60” goals. Scenario analysis identified acute weather events and energy-transition policy as top risks; emission-reduction projects and renewable build-outs form the mitigation pathway.
Management will report target progress semi-annually and integrate climate metrics into operational KPIs and future remuneration frameworks.
