Performance Data
We support transparency and provide information and data in this report and on our website. Information about how we set our reporting boundaries and our data calculation methodology is in our reporting methodology.
The table below presents a quantitative overview of our 2025 sustainable development performance. The data in these tables identified with the symbol [R] has been subject to limited assurance.
Notes:
- We account for 43.09% of Cathay group's total GHG emissions under the Group's scope 3 emissions, which is the same as our percentage ordinary shareholding interest in Cathay group.
- For Cathay group's aviation turbine fuel associated emissions, Global Warming Potential of CO2 is 1. This assumes that all other GHGs are negligible, as their impacts are still uncertain.
- Scope 3 data refers to the gross emissions.
- 2024 data has been adjusted to reflect actual situation.
- Totals may not be the exact sum of numbers shown here due to rounding.
- Material investments refers to Swire Pacific's shareholding in the Cathay group and HAECO's investment in HAESL.
- We account for 50% of Hong Kong Aero Engine Services Limited's (HAESL) total GHG emissions under the Group's Scope 3 emissions as HAESL is a joint venture company between HAECO group and Rolls-Royce.
- Total water withdrawal refers to the sum of water drawn from municipal water and groundwater. Virtually all water withdrawn by the Swire Pacific Group is from municipal water supplies provided by local water supply authorities.
- We used the World Resource Institute (WRI) Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas tool to map our water withdrawal by water stress levels.
- According to GRI 303-5, water consumption is defined as volume of water that is drawn into the boundaries of the organisation and not discharged back to the water environment or a third-party. Swire Coca-Cola is our largest consumer of water. It has provided its total water consumption.
- Waste management is the main profit generating activity of Swire Waste Management Ltd. In accordance with our data protocol, activity data from these businesses is excluded from the operational boundary for waste.
- References in this document to Hong Kong are to Hong Kong SAR, to Macau are to Macao SAR; Taiwan are to the Taiwan region; and South East Asia includes Cambodia and Vietnam.
- Staff data only relates to permanent staff (permanent full time staff, permanent part time staff and fixed contract employees in the Chinese mainland).
- In past reports Swire Pacific disclosed gender pay gap by employment category based on basic salary and also remuneration data. We have undertaken a revision of our calculation inputs to standardise reporting practices across the Group, and updated our reporting accordingly.
- In 2025, we updated our gender pay gap calculation method. The calculation is ((total pay for males/total number of males) - (total pay for females/total number of females))/(Total pay for males/total number of males).
- As we report on Other Businesses and Swire Pacific (Head Office) in aggregate, we do not disclose gender pay gap for these businesses.
- Denotes sustainability data that has been assured by PricewaterhouseCoopers. Please refer to the independent limited assurance report for further details.
