Hopewell Holdings Limited (“Hopewell”) announced the release of its first Sustainability Report 2010/2011 (“the Report”), elaborating on its commitment to a high degree of sustainability in its operations.

Hopewell Holdings is the pioneer among Hong Kong listed conglomerates to issue a sustainability report. The Report, titled “Hopewell Focuses on Sustainability”, is written according to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) sustainability report G3.1 framework and was checked and concluded by GRI for fulfilling the requirement of Application Level B. The Report provides a comprehensive account of Hopewell’s sustainability framework, management approach and accomplishments in addressing environmental, social and governance issues during the year and highlights areas where Hopewell wants to improve in the future.

To strengthen the Group’s management efforts in promoting sustainability, HHL and its subsidiary, Hopewell Highway Infrastructure Limited, established a formal Sustainability Steering Committee to set future directions and formulate initiatives related to sustainability issues across the Group. The Report will serve as a benchmark for monitoring the development and progress of the Group’s corporate sustainability programme. It also reflects Hopewell’s long-term commitment in corporate sustainability. The Group would like to bring positive influence to the business sector and to drive the implementation of sustainability initiatives, in order to benefit stakeholders and the general public.
