S&P Global evaluated over 9,400 companies across 62 industries worldwide in 2023, aiming to distinguish companies within their industries that demonstrated strengths in three aspects, namely Governance & Economic, Environmental, and Social from its assessment.

For our tenants, we have implemented the Dark Green Lease Programme to incentivise our commercial tenants to reduce energy consumption. Along the value chain, the inception of the ‘Supplier Low Carbon Stewardship Scheme’ has attracted suppliers from various sectors to join hands with us on the roadmap of achieving carbon neutrality. The Group also prioritises the well-being of its stakeholders. In the past year, we have organised over 600 CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) and staff engagement events.

    The awards and accolades garnered by the Group, including the highest 5-Star Rating from the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) for three consecutive years, underscore Kerry Properties’ commitment to sustainability. The Group wishes to express its gratitude to all stakeholders for their continued engagement and support of eco-conscious practices and sustainability initiatives, which contribute to the shared goal of achieving carbon neutrality and a greener, better world.
