Towards a Greener Future

As a global corporate citizen, Guoco Group is committed to reducing the environmental impact of our operations and we inculcate the philosophy and culture of caring for the environment across the Group. This serves as the building block of all environmental initiatives, policies and practices of our business groups that aim to reduce GHG emissions, waste and consumption of water and other resources. We strive to enhance the efficiency of our operations and ensure compliance with all relevant environmental laws and regulations, as well as adopting internationally recognised standards and best practices to constantly improve our environmental performance.

Tackling Climate Change

Our subsidiary business groups are committed to develop mitigation, adaptation, and resilience strategies to address both present and future potential challenges from climate change, advancing their way towards Net Zero.

In FY2025, GuocoLand has conducted a quantitative climate risk assessment and scenario analysis, while it continues to focus on green building design and construction. In the UK, Rank has made notable progress in its net zero pathway by significantly reducing its Scope 2 emissions. Whereas CHG as well as MHNZ in New Zealand, have made notable efforts in pursuing certifications that will help facilitate their decarbonisation goals. Furthermore, our headquarters in Hong Kong has rolled out its third environmental initiative, donating food to St. James Settlement People’s Food Bank in recognition of the need to reduce food waste and surplus, alongside our care for social cause.

Energy and Emissions Management

Our business groups have implemented environmental policies that provide guidelines on energy management and implement technology upgrades as well as appropriate efficiency measures where possible to reduce energy wastage. Energy audits are proactively conducted to monitor energy flows to identify better solutions to optimize energy consumption. We also engage our stakeholders to increase their awareness of energy conservation and responsible consumption.

Water and Effluent Management

The Group’s main source of water is from municipal sources. We actively implement water conservation measures and increase water efficiency of our operations where possible. Stakeholders are also regularly engaged to encourage the adoption of water conservation measures.

Waste Management

We are committed across the Group in managing our waste effectively through continuous recycling efforts and reusing resources. All business groups engage licensed waste collectors to ensure proper waste disposal and mitigate plastic leakage into the environment. Hazardous wastes are disposed through registered disposal companies for safe disposal. Waste segregation bins are also stationed at our operating sites to facilitate waste recycling in our premises.

Sustainability Goal Setting & Performance

With a common goal in mitigating environmental risks while building climate resilience, our business groups have proactively set their own short-term and long-term targets to drive collective efforts towards energy saving and decarbonisation, reducing water consumption and minimising wastes.  Please refer to our latest ESG Report on our set targets and sustainability performance.
