DEPUTY CHAIRMAN AND GROUP MANAGING DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE
In the reporting year, the global pandemic has affected every walks of life. As the world is yet to emerge from the pandemic, all businesses have to review and adapt their operations model to enhance resilience.
The Group always upholds a strong commitment to sustainability. The difficult time in the reporting year has reinforced our beliefs that sustainability is integral to a business' long-term success. An integrative business model taking ESG into considerations allows more informed, forward-lookingdecision-making, through which our business can be better prepared for the unprecedented challenges ahead.
SUSTAINABILITY MANAGEMENT
The Board is aware that ESG issues have material impacts on our business operations, and potentially have financial and operational implications to the Group. We take leadership and accountability in overseeing the Group's sustainability strategy, risk management and performance, and ensure alignment with the Group's overall business strategy.
With the support from the Sustainability Committee, during the reporting year, the Board has maintained oversight on the Group's sustainability strategy, material sustainability risks and opportunities, and the corresponding management approaches.
SAFEGUARDING STAKEHOLDERS' WELL-BEING
The health and safety of our employees and customers is our upmost priority especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout the years, robust management systems had been implemented to guide our safety management approaches, procedures and responsibilities in different operations under PCPD. Conducting risk assessment, practicing safe working procedures and providing training are the major strategies to realise our safety objectives.
In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, we have leveraged our well-established systems and taken prompt actions in activating a Group-wide crisis management procedure. Internal and external communications are critical to effectively contain transmission and handle suspected and confirmed cases of COVID-19 infection. We work closely with different business units to ensure the procedures and measures are properly implemented.
In line with the guidelines of local government authorities, special work and operation arrangements were adopted in our properties to strengthen environmental disinfection, monitor individuals' health status, contact tracing, early isolation and practice social distancing among our staff and customers. With a smooth communication and coordination mechanism in place, we were able to maintain close monitoring and adapt our response to the evolving situation.
STEPPING UP CLIMATE ACTIONS
In medium-to-long run, we foresee that climate change will have more obvious impact on the operation of PCPD given our global exposure. With our portfolio comprising a mix of property types across countries and regions of different climate, we adopt a life-cycle approach to mitigate the environmental impacts of our operations focusing on green building design and operational energy management.
At PCPD, we seek to incorporate green building design into our developments. This is demonstrated by Pacific Century Place, Jakarta ("PCP Jakarta"), our flagship project in Indonesia. It is the first ever office building obtained with LEED Platinum Award, and subsequently attained Indonesian Greenship New Building V.1.2 Platinum Certification and Singapore Building and Construction Authority (BCA) Green Mark Gold certification. Featuring integrative design, extensive greenery, and sustainable choice of materials and construction methods, it greatly improves energy and water efficiency, resource conservation and enhances climate resilience of the project. By maintaining good indoor air quality, we aim to provide a healthy indoor environment to support occupant's well-being. In the operation stage of a building, both energy conservation and efficiency enhancement are important mitigation strategies. We continuously review our energy consumption to understand the consumption pattern, evaluate current energy management strategies and explore further rooms for reduction. We also actively engage with our tenants, residents and suppliers through guidelines, surveys and awareness raising programmes, striving to influence our value chain to put sustainable use of resources in action.

EMBRACING A CHALLENGING FUTURE AHEAD
Despite this difficult year, it is important to continue to build a solid sustainability foundation and relationship with our stakeholders.
In the upcoming years, we will continue to respond to the evolving landscape and enhance our resilience responsiveness to sustainability risks and opportunities. PCPD is establishing targets to drive continuous improvement in our environmental performance. In addition to decarbonization efforts, we are exploring plans to enhance our climate risk identification and management and disclosure processes. The Board will be regularly updated on the Group's progress towards our sustainability targets and agenda.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude towards all our stakeholders for the support to the Group's sustainability journey. Joining hands with our stakeholders towards a shared goal, we are confident in overcoming the challenges ahead and creating long-term positive value for the environment and society.

APPROACH TO SUSTAINABILITY
PCPD reckons that placing sustainability at the core of what we do is key to our long-term value creation. The adoption of a robust sustainability governance structure facilitates the alignment between PCPD's sustainability and corporate strategy. It also enables us to continuously identify opportunities to deliver environmental and social values across our business operations.
SUSTAINABILITY GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE
Board
Sustainability Committee
Representatives from 12 functional departments
As the highest governance body, the Board has the overall responsibility in overseeing the Group's sustainability strategy and performance. The Board also takes the responsibility in maintaining effective risk management and internal control systems to ensure our businesses are conducted in accordance with all relevant laws and regulations.
Steered by the Board, the Sustainability Committee (the "Committee") is delegated with responsibilities to integrate the Group's sustainability vision and mission into our operations. Reporting to the Board and senior officers including the Group Managing Director, the Chief Financial Officer and the Project Director, the Committee undertakes the following duties:
- Review the Group's sustainability strategy, principles and policies;
- Review and monitor the Group's sustainability risk exposures;
- Review the integration of the Group's ESG controls and procedures with its enterprise risk management programme;
- Set guidance and direction;
- Oversee practices and procedures;
- Monitor the Group's progress on sustainability related activities;
- Provide recommendations to the senior officers and the Board on sustainability matters; and
- Produce necessary periodic disclosure pursuant to the legal and regulatory requirements.
Chaired by General Counsel and Company Secretary and comprised of department heads or representatives from 12 different functional units across the Group, the composition of the Committee allows cross-functional coordination of sustainability efforts covering multiple geographical regions where PCPD operates in.
Our governance structure promotes the incorporation of sustainability management at all levels of the Group, ensuring that all members of PCPD share the roles and responsibilities in managing sustainability matters. We conduct ongoing review of our sustainability performance and progress and discuss the results with the Group's senior officers in management meetings.
Looking ahead, PCPD will continue to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of our sustainability management. The Group seeks to further enhance the Board's involvement in prioritizing the Group's sustainability issues. We are also in the process of establishing environmental targets and refining our review mechanisms accordingly to drive further efficiency in our operations.

The Group commissioned an independent consultant to conduct a materiality review of sustainability issues in 2019. A list of 25 sustainability issues were identified by considering industry and international reporting practices. Based on the results of the stakeholder engagement exercise, the sustainability issues were mapped onto the materiality matrix, reflecting their importance and relevance to stakeholders and the Group. To this end, a total of 12 sustainability issues were identified as material in 2019.
Based on the results from last year, the materiality matrix was further reviewed and validated by the Committee and forms the basis in the preparation of this report.

MATERIAL SUSTAINABILITY ISSUES
Given our large sphere of influence as a premium property developer, investor, manager and operator, health and safety of our customers, employees and business partners has always been a key topic in our daily operations. These had become increasingly concerning following the COVID-19 outbreak in the reporting year, which speaks volume for the importance of a resilient business model with adequate preparedness and responsiveness to environmental or social risk events.
Including the aforementioned issues, PCPD has identified a total of 12 material sustainability issues. The following table shows their boundary of impacts to our value chain and level of materiality. Our management approach to the material issues and how we address stakeholders' needs and concerns throughout a project lifecycle are discussed in detail in different sections of this report.

CUSTOMER
Support from our customers are the driving force of our product and service excellence. PCPD proactively engage our residents, tenants and guests and address their needs through rigorous quality management mechanisms. In particular, safeguarding customers' rights and interests, including their wellness and privacy is our focus.
PRODUCT QUALITY AND RESPONSIBILITY
Safety Management System
Safety and quality management systems are established to delineate our management approach, standards and responsibilities of different level of staff.
At our properties managed in ISPML, an Integrated Management System ("IMS") is in place. The IMS is certified with the requirements of multiple standards including ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System. Park Hyatt Niseko, Hanazono, with operations commenced in early 2020, has achieved GBAC (Global Biorisk Advisory Council) Star accreditation for our effective cleaning, disinfection, and infectious disease prevention program.
ISPML completed the migration from OHSAS 18001:2007 to the latest ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System, which puts more emphasis on stakeholder interests in safety aspects. Park Hyatt Niseko, Hanazono is also planning to embark on the certification of ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety Management System, ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management System and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP).
Customer Health, Safety and Well-being
PCPD's safety management approaches pay special attention to the identification, elimination and control of potential hazards in our properties, as well as safety awareness of our customers and employees.
We identify potential health and safety risks through assessment and inspection. At our ski operation, we inspect the key facilities and equipment, including our ski lifts, on a daily basis. Maintenance are regularly conducted and monitored. At the managed properties under ISPML, we conduct risk assessment and enhancement for different operating activities. For instance, accident analysis was conducted to better understand and minimise the road safety risks. Improvement works of installing railings and water barriers along pedestrian pavements were implemented.
Customer satisfaction rate on general management - security and safety at Bel-Air
98.9%
Indoor environmental quality, including air quality and thermal comfort, is also one of our focus areas. To ensure good indoor air quality, overhaul monitoring and cleaning of indoor conditioning system is conducted regularly according to the maintenance plan. At NMS and Midtown Niseko, regular inspections and periodic filter cleaning are conducted. At Park Hyatt Niseko, Hanazono, indoor air quality check and formaldehyde testing are performed every two months and on a yearly basis respectively. Common area temperature is logged and monitored daily. During the reporting year, ISPML continue to maintain the Indoor Air Quality Certificate (Excellent Class) at Club Bel-Air Bay Wing.
We educate and engage our customers and employees on accident prevention awareness. Skier responsibility code and the Niseko Official Mountain Rules ("Niseko Rules") are disseminated to our guests through signage on ski lifts, trail maps, brochures, village magazines and public announcement system. Red Card system is in place that staff members who break the Rules are subject to immediate dismissal. We also promote the use of the Niseko mobile app developed by Niseko Tourism (formerly known as Niseko Promotion Board). It helps keep our guests informed of real-time weather forecast, snow report and interactive trail map with live ski lift and ski run opening status, such that they can plan for a safe and enjoyable journey. At properties managed by ISPML, staff members receive regular trainings on the implementation of the safety standards and procedures established under the system. Important safety matters are communicated to staff through quarterly Health, Safety and Environment Committee meeting and Safety Newsletter. To identify rooms for improvement in our safety management, at PCP Jakarta we launched a customer satisfaction survey in the reporting year to collect tenants' feedback on matters including health and well-being aspects. We received an average grade of 3 out of 7 (with 1st grade the top and the 7th grade the lowest).
Enhancing emergency preparedness is another important line of defence in our safety management system. Periodic drills and training are arranged across our operations to ensure our staff can execute our procedures effectively in case of emergency. For instance, at Midtown Niseko, Fire Drill Procedures are established setting out the roles of respective staff members and evacuation plan. At our ski operation, we ensure that frontline staff receive adequate trainings on equipment operations and emergency handling, especially on accident black spots such as loading and unloading guests onto ski lifts. In case of injuries, on-site ski patrols are ready to provide immediate assistance to the injured and send them to local hospitals for medical treatment. Incident report will also be compiled for management review.

Protecting customers' privacy
Protecting customer privacy and data security is critical to building customers' long-term trust in our services. PCPD make vigorous efforts in enforcing privacy and data security measures in all business operations. Our management approach follows the "Six Data Protection Principles" of the Hong Kong Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance (the "Ordinance"), which guides our processes in handling sensitive customer information.
At ISPML, as part of our ISO 9001:2015 certified Quality Management System, the Standard Working Instruction on Procedures for Handling Personal Data, Residents' Information and Confidential Documents and CCTV Surveillance Records were established to protect customers' data. Annual internal and external audits are conducted to ensure the procedures are implemented effectively. The representatives of ISPML management team are also required to attend trainings related to customers' data privacy held by the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data, Hong Kong. It ensures our team has a comprehensive understanding of the legal requirements on handling of personal data.
During the COVID-19 outbreak, there are occurrences that we need to inform the public and relevant parties of the confirmed or suspected cases of infection at our operating locations. With customers' privacy in mind, we ensure that only necessary information is disclosed. No personally identifiable information of the residents, guests or tenants concerned will be disclosed to the public when making announcements.
During the reporting year, we have complied with the Ordinance in Hong Kong and other relevant laws and regulations in our operating locations.

SERVICE EXCELLENCE
Quality Management System
PCPD ensures our premium service quality through management standards and staff capacity building . We define the responsibilities on quality assurance across our organization and ensure our people are equipped with the essential skillsets to deliver excellence.
As part of the IMS, ISPML maintains and implements ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System and ISO 10002:2018
- Customer satisfaction - Guidelines for complaints handling. Guidance documents that define the quality standards across services, environment, security, complaint handling and safety are provided to staff. At properties managed by ISPML, regular quality-related trainings covering customer services, special case handling and complaint handling are arranged from time to time.
In 2020, we received 416 complaints, 99% of them were handled within 4 working days. We also received 1,344 compliments from customers.
Connecting with Occupants, Hotel and Resort Guests
Voices of customers is the momentum for PCPD to pursue stewardship in our products and services. We value customer engagement, which can help us understand their views and continuously evaluate our product and service quality.
To this end, we conduct satisfaction survey in addition to customer feedback forms. At the managed properties of ISPML, customer satisfaction survey is conducted annually to understand residents' views on our property management, staff performance, resident programs and communication channels. At Park Hyatt Niseko, Hanazono, guest feedback management platforms were established for guests to provide post-stay feedback. Similarly, at Midtown Niseko and our ski operation, guests are invited to rate and comment their experience through feedback form. They can leave also reviews on social media and booking platforms, which are closely monitored and evaluated by our marketing team. We also leverage other visitor satisfaction survey results, such as that by Niseko Tourism and RoomBoss, our partnering booking platform, to understand guests' satisfaction ratings on their visit to Niseko region.
In the reporting year, digital engagement has been an extremely important strategy to keep our customers informed of the updates related to their experience with PCPD. For instance, push notification of our Bel-Air App is used to communicate with our residents on the status of our clubhouse services and facilities in response to the government's latest COVID-19 preventive guidelines. To replace face-to-face meetings, we also delivered our reports and updates via email to Bel-Air Owners' Committee.
Management Engagement
Management teams shoulder the responsibility of quality assurance. At ISPML, "Walk Management" approach is practiced where the management conduct regular property inspections to assess our service performance in-person. Duty Manager Inspection is also held on a weekly basis to spot-check our staff performance. As a post-inspectionfollow-up, reports are formulated to summarize the findings, and then evaluated in our Monthly Continuous Improvement Meeting. Findings are also discussed with our management team and the Owners' Committee members to develop solutions and management enhancement plans.
We strive to ensure every complaint is handled in a professional and timely manner. At Bel-Air, any complaints and enquiries reported in person at Tower Concierge or Service Centre or by phone to Bel-Air Hotline, we will acknowledge within one working day and address within seven working days. Our management representatives are responsible for evaluating complaints, monitoring the handling procedures and reporting to top management with improvement recommendations. ISPML staff members receive on average two to four training sessions per year on complaint handling. At NHR, complaints are reported to the business unit manager who then responds directly to the guest. When needed, it will be escalated to General Manager level for further handling. At Park Hyatt Niseko, Hanazono, standardised procedures supported by various tools and IT systems are in place to assure quality. These include the Duty Managers' log, record keeping of issue updates in guest profiles on our property management system, as well as central processing of all guests' request through our online workflow management system.
20 | PACIFIC CENTURY PREMIUM DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2020 |
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
We work with our supply chain partners to put our sustainability vision in actions.
It is our procurement practice to communicate with our contractors, subcontractors and business partners on our requirements and expectations on their social and environmental performance. This include designing and incorporating our environmental and social policies into the tender documents and organise workshops for these parties.
At the tendering stage, contractors are carefully assessed against our criteria through the prequalification assessment. The criteria focus not only on the financial and technical abilities, but also sustainability performance including quality assurance and site safety plan, records of work-related accidents, injuries and fatalities, as well as the attained environmental certifications. A scorecard system is in place with weighting allocated to each of these assessment criteria.
During the planning and design stage, we assure that the contractors acknowledge their understanding and adhere to our Managing Environmental and Social Risk of Supply Chain Policy. We keep track on information such as quality, material selection and production to ensure compliance with relevant supply chain and environmental and regulatory requirements.
We evaluate our partners' performance regularly and provide them with guidance on our sustainability requirements. ISPML reviews contractors and suppliers quarterly on various aspects including but not limited to safety operation, workmanship, quality and environmental protection performance. Green Purchasing Guidelines are also in place, which reminds our staff to avoid purchase of products containing toxic pollutants and prioritize environmentally friendly preferable options, such as products that are reusable and recyclable. For example, in Jakarta project, FSC certified wood, low VOC materials, higher recycled content of materials, regional materials were incorporated in the construction. Our ESG requirements forms part of the conditions of Tender and whereas applicable our suppliers and contractors will be drawn to attention on ESG requirements through tender process. Similar procedures are performed at our other operations. For instance, at NHR, all local travel agents, land operators and accommodation providers are provided with quality-related training on our products and services. At PCP Jakarta, environmentally friendly materials to meet the green building criterion options are preferred during our procurement process. One example is the sourcing of disinfection products during the pandemic period, that the United States Environmental Protection Agency registered products are used for disinfection.
Ensuring regulatory compliance across our operations is the bottom line of our operational management. During the reporting year, PCPD complied with laws and regulations related to customer health and safety and product responsibility in our operating locations. These include the Buildings Management Ordinance (Cap. 344) in Hong Kong; Building Standards Act, Real Estate Brokerage Act, Hotel Business Act, Food Sanitation Act and Railway Business Act in Japan; licensing requirements including the Minister of Manpower and Transmigration Regulations, Minister of Energy and Mineral Resource Regulations, Minister of Public Works Regulations, and Minister of Youth and Sport Regulations in Indonesia; and the building specification, permit and Environmental Impact Assessment Report requirements stipulated by local authorities and organizations in Thailand.

ENVIRONMENT
Guided by the Sustainability Policy, PCPD is committed to creating positive values for the environment by identifying significant environmental impacts associated with our business and adopting mitigation measures across the whole building lifecycle.
ENERGY AND GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
With the real estate sector being one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions and climate change, we acknowledge the importance of optimising energy consumption and use of other resources in our daily operations. To effectively manage the impacts for our diverse property portfolio around the globe, we have established the Group-wise Energy and Water Management Policy and the Emission Policy to guide our progress with the transition towards a low-carbon economy.
Energy Performance
PCPD's Energy and Water Management Policy provides a clear guiding framework on our energy management approaches regarding machinery and equipment operation, procurement, green building certifications and green office practices. We require business units to formulate their energy management strategy based on their local contexts, including regulatory requirements, geographical and climatic factors, as well as stakeholder expectations.
Accounting for the largest proportion of PCPD's total energy consumption, our managed properties have been our focus of energy efficiency improvement work. In the reporting year, we have conducted energy conservation review to explore the energy saving opportunities at Bel-Air. The following initiatives are adopted at Bel-Air, resulting in annual energy saving of over 1 million kWh.
Air-conditioning
- Adjust operation time of chiller plants and air-conditioning systems of clubhouses and carpark according to residents' usage.
- Set air-conditioning system temperature at higher level during winter season in main tower lobbies and the carpark.
Lightings
- Adjust operation time of lightings in podium and outside tower lobbies at night and reduce numbers of decorative lightings.
- Replace fluorescent tube with LED lights.
Others
• Adjust operation time of water features and passenger lifts.
At PCP Jakarta, energy saving initiatives are implemented to reduce the use of lighting and increase the efficiency of cooling. Our property management team have installed daylight sensors and motion sensors in the building to limit unnecessary use of lighting. Brightness at corridors and lobbies will be halved during off peak hours. Air-conditioning system is also equipped with high efficiency chiller plant.
At our ski operation, we reduce electricity consumption by slowing down or even stopping the ski lifts in accordance with the weather condition and customer load. We also reduce the frequency of our shuttle bus at off-peak hours to minimise energy consumption.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Emission Policy is in place to provide guiding principles for different business units to mitigate and monitor the emissions of different types of GHG and air pollutants. We further extend the scope of Policy to cover our supply chain, encouraging our suppliers to adopt this as a form of best practice.
Reducing energy consumption in our managed properties is our key strategy to mitigate scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions. For example, the aforementioned energy efficient initiatives implemented in Bel-Air alone can bring carbon footprints reduction equivalent to approximately 1,029 tCO2e annually.
Carbon sequestration through tree planting and greening are also applied in many of our properties.

Air Quality Management
In addition to GHG emissions, our Emission Policy also cover other types of air emissions including nitrogen oxide (NOx), sulphur oxide (SOx) and respirable suspended particulate (RSP). These emissions not only intensify global warming but also contribute to air pollution and destruction of the ozone layer. To PCPD, the source of these emissions is mainly mobile combustions from occupants' transportations.
Hence, we continue to promote the use of green transport. At our ski operation, we accelerated the process of upgrading our vehicle fleets to minimise the air emissions. In 2020, 40% of our snow groomers and 80% of our buses are upgraded to the AdBlue®model, allowing the conversion of harmful nitrogen oxides in the exhaust into nitrogen and water only. For further procurement of snowmobiles, only low-emission models, such as 4-stroke model, will be considered. Currently, 100% of our snowmobiles have been upgraded to the model that emits less direct air pollutants. At PCP Jakarta, to encourage zero emission commuting, the project incorporated bicycle-friendly designs and 100 bicycle parking spaces in the building. We are also exploring the possibility of constructing an underpass which connects PCP Jakarta to the MRT to enhance accessibility to the public transportation network. Charging facilities and parking spaces for electric vehicles are also in place in our parking lot.
During the reporting year, we complied with the Air Pollution Control Ordinance (Cap. 311) in Hong Kong, Air Pollution Control Law in Japan, Indonesian Air Pollution Management Law
- Act 41/1999, the Announcement of the Nation Environment Committee No. 10, 33 and 36 in Thailand and other relevant laws and regulations in our operating locations.
23 | PACIFIC CENTURY PREMIUM DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2020 |
WASTE MANAGEMENT
PCPD strives to minimise the waste generation and promote waste diversion from landfill across our business units. As such, we have set out guidelines on how various types of waste are collected, recycled and disposed of. We also closely monitor the latest regulatory development and update our waste management approaches.
In Hong Kong, ISPML advocates for recycling of a wide range of waste including plastic, paper, metals, batteries, clothing and food waste. Recycling bins or stations are available in all the properties under management. To promote recycling to our residents, we continued to organise the "Recycle & Get Rewarded!" Waste Reduction Campaign. They can collect stamps to redeem gifts when recycling at our designated collection points. Recycling programmes were also organised to collect seasonal items such as peach blossom tree and mooncake boxes. All recyclables are sent to local recyclers or charities for further handling. For hazardous waste, registered collectors are engaged to collect electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) for disposal or recycling in accordance with the Hong Kong Government's Producer Responsibility Scheme. Fluorescent lights and batteries are collected by Environmental Protection Department or registered hazardous waste collectors for further handling.
For operations in other regions, waste reduction initiatives are adopted with the consideration of the business nature and local contexts. For example, wastes are sorted by category and recorded for each area at our hotels. Waste generated at our ski operation are sorted into recyclables, combustible and non-combustible before disposal to comply with relevant local laws and regulations. Obsolete staff and snow-sports school uniforms are donated to organisations. In 2020, 120 uniforms were donated to the Disabled Wintersport Australia. At PCP Jakarta, we provide our tenants with recycling bins on every floor. Collected recyclables are handled through a centralised procedure.
In the reporting year, PCPD's operations complied with the Waste Disposal Ordinance (Cap. 354) in Hong Kong, the Waste Disposal Law, Construction Recycling Law in Japan, the Indonesian Environment Waste Management and Disposal Law - Act 32/2009, the Ministerial Regulation No. 51 in Thailand and other relevant laws and regulations in our operating locations.

We constantly monitor the water supply conditions and promote conscious water use in our managed properties. If water leakage or plumbing defects are discovered, relevant department and personnel are promptly informed. When replacing fixtures, we give preference to models with higher water use efficiency certified by recognised accreditation bodies. At Bel-Air, irrigation is done by our landscaping team diligently leveraging their knowledge on micro-climate, weather and the plant species. This prevents water wastage from over-irrigation and evaporation, the downside of adopting automatic sprinkler system.
Water reuse is another strategy adopted in our operations. At PCP Jakarta, rainwater, condensate water and treated greywater from showers, faucets and washbasins are reused for irrigation and flushing. At Phang Nga Project, wastewater is treated on-site and reused for irrigation. We are exploring the opportunity of utilising the natural stream water running across the property for irrigation at Park Hyatt Niseko, Hanazono.
During the reporting year, our operations complied with the Water Pollution Control Ordinance (Cap. 358) in Hong Kong, the Water Pollution Control Law in Japan, the Indonesian Water Pollution and Quality Management Law - Act 82/2001, the Announcement of the Nation Environment Committee No. 8 in Thailand and other relevant laws and regulations in our operating locations.

We regard sustainable building development as our key strategy in response to climate change, as it takes mitigation and climate resilience into consideration at the very beginning of a building lifecycle with integrative planning and design. PCP Jakarta is the first office building in Indonesia to obtain LEED Platinum Award and Platinum Green Building Council Indonesia. Achieving these awards requires collective effort between us and our tenants in adopting a holistic environmental management approach.
Ensuring efficient use of resources at operation stage is equally important. Hence, attention is also paid to regulate energy use of our customers. For instance, in PCP Jakarta, we have developed the Tenant Fit-out Guidelines. Specific sustainability requirements such as interior lighting, the use of daylight sensors and indoor pollutant source control based on LEED requirements, are integrated as part of the standard conditions in our leasing agreements. We also regularly engage our occupants for their feedbacks on facilities management and indoor environmental management through weekly walkthroughs.
To further enhance our climate resilience, we have adopted adaptive designs and measures to cope with the future potential challenges brought by climate change. To mitigate the impacts of rainstorm and flooding at our Phang Nga Project, retention pond and infra lakes are built to manage stormwater runoff, which can then be fully utilised for irrigation for the golf course. At ISPML, we recently updated our Manual of Safety Measures Against Adverse Weather with new safety measures provided to enhance our preparedness to extreme weather events in Hong Kong. Support frames were installed at Bel-Air to minimise possible damage to glass panel, glass door and shuttle lift lobby by adverse weather. Arborists were engaged to conduct annual risk assessment of 500 trees in Bel-Air to help us better prepare for the typhoon season.
25 | PACIFIC CENTURY PREMIUM DEVELOPMENTS LIMITED SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2020 |
ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS
Effective stakeholder communication channels are critical to amplify the effectiveness of our environmental initiatives. We continuously keep our employees, tenants, occupants, guests and local communities engaged on environmental matters through various publications, programmes and activities.
- In May 2020, NMS organized the Annual Spring Cleanup, engaging 27 employees to clear the waste in our neighbourhood around the Hirafu area.
- At Bel-Air, newsletters are published regularly to communicate our environmental initiatives, including planned energy efficiency works, with our residents.
- To engage our residents in sustainable lifestyle, Bel-Air Community Vegetable Garden has been planned for launch once the spread of COVID-19 is effectively under control with the ease of social distancing restriction.

PEOPLE
Employees are our most valuable asset. As a large employer of 986 people, PCPD aims to create a healthy, fulfilling and respectful work environment where employees are developed to realise their potentials.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Management System
A group-wide Occupational Safety and Health Policy sets out our general safety and health standards at work, covering job hazard analysis, safe working procedures, safety trainings and accident prevention. At PCPD, safety is a shared responsibility. All line managers and staff are responsible for identifying OHS hazard and preventing injury in accordance with the guidelines set out in the Policy.
Guided by the Policy, respective OHS management systems were established in different operating locations of PCPD. As part of the IMS, ISPML maintains an ISO 45001:2018 certified OHS management system, with a Health, Safety and Environment Committee established to ensure effective implementation. Park Hyatt Niseko, Hanazono is in the process of transitioning to the latest ISO 45001:2018 standards. Park Hyatt Niseko, Hanazono is also planning to certify their systems with Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP).
Hazard Identification and Controls
At Bel-Air, the Health, Safety and Environment Committee conducts monthly audits to identify potential hazards and remedial measures. A third-party safety consultant is engaged to audit our system every year against ISO 45001:2018 requirements to evaluate its effectiveness. The results are communicated to our frontline staff. To pursue further improvement, ISPML set an annual target of controlling work injuries (with four days or above sick leave) below seven cases, and successfully achieved it in the reporting year.
We perform job hazard analysis to identify factors that pose safety threats to certain work environment. Line managers and supervisors are responsible for conducting such analysis and recording the results, based on which respective safe working procedures will be formulated. For example, to protect maintenance technicians working at height, all suspended elevated platform operators need to attend training and equipped with suitable personal protective equipment. Working in extremely hot days is prohibited to prevent heatstroke.
In unfortunate cases of work injuries, our employees are provided with comprehensive medical package with the work injury care programme, covering doctor consultation and rehabilitation treatments.
We also emphasise OHS along our supply chain . Our requirements are incorporated in the tender documents of all our development projects. During the supplier due diligence process of the Phang Nga Project, our contractors are required to submit safety management plan to prove that appropriate site OHS controls are in place. Our project site is assigned with safety officers who received statutory training and obtained license in compliance with local laws and regulations. Safety Officers are responsible for conducting weekly site safety inspections with our project management team and site manager to identify OHS hazards, which are discussed in regular site meetings to formulate mitigation actions. In Hong Kong, OHS performance of major security service, cleaning service and construction contractors for our managed properties are evaluated annually by ISPML.
Safety Training and Awareness Raising
OHS trainings are organised for staff to equip them with knowledge on standard work procedures and precautionary measures. At properties managed by ISPML, a total of 26 sessions of Safety and Health Training Programmes and 22 drill sessions were arranged during the reporting year. Topics covered include elimination and mitigation of OHS hazards to prevent lift trap and traffic accident, and emergency handling under extreme weather. At Phang Nga Project, talks and morning calls on OHS topics are conducted for site workers. At Jakarta Office, first-aid training was also organised for employees to enhance their life-saving skills.
Physical fitness and mental health are both valued by the Group. Regular health check-ups and inoculation are arranged for staff members. At NHR, all employees receive company-sponsored comprehensive health check once per year. Staff can also receive influenza vaccines on a voluntary basis at no cost. To enhance the health awareness of employees, we arrange talks with industrial physicians regularly on various health-related topics. Our management team discuss with the Health and Safety Committee in monthly meeting to evaluate relevant policies on a regular basis.
During the reporting year, our operations complied with the Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance (Cap. 509) in Hong Kong, the Labour Standard Law and Industrial Safety and Health Law in Japan, the Occupational Safety and Health Ministerial Decree No. 5/2018 in Indonesia, the Environment Health and Safety Act (Year 2011) in Thailand and other relevant laws and regulations in our operating locations.

COMMUNITY
PCPD recognises our corporate social responsibility to give back to the society and address the community's needs. Through joint efforts with our community partners and other internal and external stakeholders, we endeavour to create greater social values through long-term partnerships.
Our Community Engagement Policy sets out our general approach in community investment. We consider requests from the community for supports that serve the interests of needy people or benefit the community at large. Supports can be in form of cash sponsorship, in-kind donation, and corporate volunteer services.
In view of the enormous challenge brought by COVID-19 to the society, relief programmes became the first priority of our community efforts in 2020. We had reallocated our resources from other forms of community activities to provide direct financial support to alleviate the immediate needs of our local communities. Examples include repurposing our sponsorship for Hong Kong Society for Rehabilitation (HKSR), one of our long-term community partners, from organizing outing activities to direct cash donation. We also made another cash donation to the Hospital Authority to support the frontline medical workers. Besides, ISPML offered additional support, namely "tough times collaboration", to another community partner New Life Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association ("New Life"). Food and COVID-19 protection packs were donated to support workers at New Life's Shek Pai Wan Integrated Work Centre.
In recognition of our work on promoting community well-being, in the reporting year, PCPD was awarded the Caring Company Logo by the Hong Kong Council of Social Service.
