Decarbonisation

We all have a part to play in decarbonisation.

We recognise our role in reducing carbon emissions to slow down climate change and we commit our resources, technology and leadership influence to get behind this cause and to make direct reductions in our operations.

We all live on one planet so the challenge of tackling climate change and reducing carbon emissions is one we involve everyone in. From our tenants, vendors, service providers and talented younger generation whose futures climate change will have most impact, we believe that everybody can make a difference.

Kai Tin Shopping Centre

This year, the Board reaffirmed our 2035 net-zero target, reinforcing it as a structural imperative across all asset classes and geographies.

Our 2035 net-zero target applies to Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions across all assets under our operational control. It is a target we can stand behind because it is both ambitious and achievable.

Six Levers for Long-Term Decarbonisation

Our decarbonisation strategy is built on six core levers that allow us to navigate operational realities, regulatory diversity and capital constraints across jurisdictions:

1. Energy Efficiency

This is the foundation. From HVAC optimisation and chiller upgrades to LED retrofits and control system automation, we continue to drive down energy intensity at scale. Our EMS deployment programme, layered on 15 years of energy optimisation work, gives us a costefficient, high-control starting point.

2. On-Site Renewables

We are one of the largest private solar PV operators in Hong Kong, with 4.5 MW installed across 53 assets. These installations generate more than 4,200 MWh annually. In Mainland China, we are deploying rooftop PV systems across three logistics centres, with a 17 MW pipeline underway. We are also exploring flexible solar systems that reduce load without compromising rooftop usability.

3. Green Power Procurement

In jurisdictions where on-site generation is not viable, we are expanding our use of RECs and green electricity contracts. Our decisions here are influenced by both supplier readiness and the projected pace of grid decarbonisation, which varies widely across APAC markets.

4. Carbon-Related Investments (Insets)

We are exploring opportunities to invest in carbon sinks and removals such as buildingintegrated insets or nature-based solutions that can be tied to our assets. While still in early stages, we believe these will form part of our future carbon balance sheet.

5. Fuel Mix Optimisation

Fuel mix optimisation addresses decarbonisation through two key approaches: adapting to regional grid transition timelines; and reshaping energy demand via electrification. By incorporating these considerations into our market expansion and electricity procurement choices, we ensure emissions reduction even when policy-driven improvements are slow.

6. High-Integrity Offsets (For Residual Emissions)

Offsets are only considered for genuinely hard-to-abate emissions. We favour credits tied to emission avoidance (e.g. organic waste diversion or methane capture) and continue to explore self-generated credits within our own operations. We do not rely on offsets to meet near-term targets and view them as a backstop, not a strategy.

Targets

Our UK property, The Cabot was powered by 100% renewable electricity, achieving net zero carbon emissions in its annual electricity consumption for both landlord and tenant operations.

Additionally, starting in 2023/2024, the entire IGO portfolio in Australia was supplied with 100% renewable electricity for landlord-controlled consumption.
