ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT (CONTINUED)
4. OUR COMMITMENT TO ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP (Continued)
a.
Energy and Climate Change Mitigation (Continued)
Driven to further enhance our performance this year, we seized opportunities to improve energy efficiency at our Principal Office. For instance, we carried out the installation of LED light fixtures in place of old fluorescent lights, and upgraded our lift to further optimise energy efficiency. To monitor and assess the effectiveness of our energy saving measures we undertook an energy audit at our Principle Office and the shipyard this year and determined that we were able to reduce electricity consumption by around 15%. At our property development and investment operations, we follow the requirements of the Performance-based Building Energy Code published by the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department ("EMSD"). To further enhance performance, we incorporated sustainability features into the design and construction phases of our projects and conducted energy-simulation modelling studies to identify the most optimal energy-saving approaches. In addition, Green Code Plaza and Metro Harbour Plaza have pledged to support the Hong Kong Government's Energy Saving Charter 2018 to encourage community-wide participation in saving energy. As a result of our energy reduction efforts and commitments made in the Energy Saving Charter 2018, Green Code Plaza and Metro Harbour Plaza have both received a Platinum Award from the Charter on External Light.
