Appendices

External initiatives, charters and memberships

Representatives from Swire Pacific and our operating companies are signatories to relevant initiatives, charters, and trade associations.

Swire Pacific’s largest payments to organisations include to membership organisations from which we benefit from ESG services and insights. We contribute membership fees to groups that may lobby local government or represent our interest on sustainability issues such as Business Environment Council and World Business Council for Sustainable Development.

When relevant, we support the public positions of these organisations on topics that align with our ambitions (e.g. the BEC Net-zero Carbon Charter). When joining climate-related charters or initiatives, we ensure they are Paris Agreement-aligned as per Swire Pacific and our operating companies’ planned decarbonisation. We are a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC).
