Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited (SHKP) recently released its Sustainability Report 2025/26, highlighting its progress and achievements in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) development during the reporting year. 

SHKP further strengthened its sustainability reporting framework with reference to internationally recognised standards, including the International Sustainability Standards Board’s (ISSB) IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information and IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures. Complementing its climate actions, the Group voluntarily adopted the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework and enhanced disclosures based on a preliminary nature-related study conducted during the reporting year.

SHKP’s sustainability efforts earned widespread recognition. For the first time, SHKP became a constituent of the Dow Jones Best-in-Class World Index and maintained its position in the Dow Jones Best-in-Class Asia Pacific Index, the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2026 and its China Edition 2026. SHKP also retained an ‘AA’ rating in the latest MSCI ESG Ratings and remained a constituent of the Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Index and the FTSE4Good Index Series.

Below are the highlights of SHKP’s sustainability initiatives:

Environment
As of June 2026, the Group has obtained around 140 green-building-related certifications¹ in Hong Kong. Its latest flagship project, International Gateway Centre (IGC), has attained ten top-tier certifications or pre-certifications covering green building, wellbeing and smart technologies, including the first BREEAM International New Construction Excellent rating awarded to an office development in the Greater Bay Area. Beyond meeting the Group’s 10-year environmental targets, SHKP, through a joint venture, completed the construction and commenced the operation at Hong Kong’s first and largest solar farm built on a restored landfill that participates in the Feed-in Tariff Scheme. By June 2026, around 23,000 solar panels were installed across 89 managed properties and two construction sites, generating around 10.4 million kWh of electricity annually and reducing carbon emissions by around 4,000 tonnes.

During the period, the Group delivered more than 380,000 hours of ESG-related training and around 7,400 hours of AI-related training to equip employees for an increasingly digital workplace. Innovation also supported workplace safety and employee development. Its property management arm, Hong Yip, partnered with academia to develop SafeGuard XR-AI in Safety Management, providing immersive emergency-simulation training and real-time hazard guidance for frontline employees.
