Message Improving the Better life of People is Our Duty
To Vanke, 2018 was an extraordinary year. Facing the ever-changing and unstable external environment and the sluggish market, all Vanke staff united as one and fought ahead hand in hand to write a splendid new chapter of development-we delivered breakthroughs in key performance indicators, and made it to the Fortune Global 500 for the third consecutive year, ranking 332nd. We are deeply indebted to the government, customers, investors and partners for supporting us all the way, and to all our employees for their hard work and commitment!
In 2018, we continued to dig deeper into our positioning as an "urban and rural developer and life services provider", fully honoring our responsibility and mission of meeting people's demand for a better life. The future is bright, and the goal is clear. In the new era, no matter how the outside world changes, we will unswervingly strive to meet people's ever-growing demand for a better life and fulfill our social responsibilities.
We continued to deliver good products and services to meet people's demand for a better life. In terms of products, we proceeded from the true demand of customers, continously trying to identify, understand and meet customers' ever-changing demand, and developed

benchmark products that could be widely applied. First, we targeted a niche market, continued to "build quality houses for common people, and build houses that are truly applicable", and kept most of our residential apartments of a medium or small size. Second, we enforced strict quality control. While making full use of our "two tools and one form", we comprehensively promoted the use of the engineering management app, and carried out the "Sky-Net Action" across the board to improve engineering quality. Third, we highly valued the creation of a healthy environment. Through the research and development of the Green Research and Development Center, we continuously led the industry in the innovation and upgrading of green technologies, strictly conducted ecological management throughout the whole life cycle of buildings from design to operation, practically saved energy and reduced consumption, and thus created a comfortable and healthy environment. In terms of services, we put customers first and at the center of our services and strive to "deliver more comprehensive, better services for more customers". Concerning residential building development, we continued to upgrade the "6+2" CRM approach, enrich the content of customer services, and widely applied the Mobile Home Inspection app and other new technologies to deliver a more efficient, better customer experience. Thanks to these efforts, our overall customer satisfaction was improved for the third consecutive year. Concerning property management services, we upheld the values of "reassurance, engagement, trust and co-existence", continued to improve the customer service, created a safe and comfortable living environment, organized multi-level and high-quality community exchange activities, and built a community featuring man-nature harmony, mutual help and trust.
Apart from residential buildings and property management services, in 2018, we also tried to "deliver good products and services" in other business lines. Through Port Apartment, we offered a variety of rental products to meet the needs of different customers, trying to tackle problems such as difficulty in renting houses, the poor quality and low cost-effectiveness of rental products. We enriched our commercial product lines to provide customers with high-quality experience, listened to customers' voices through the "Listen to Customers" project, "Chief Experience Officer" and other activities, and made commercial complexes social platforms and living centers for local residents. We set up a logistics and cold chain system that covers all first-tier cities and core inland port cities in China, and continued to promote "intelligent" warehousing services to improve operational efficiency and customer services. We continued to explore the development of ski resorts to meet the emerging needs of people for a healthier and better life, and improve customers' well-being in a safe environment. Based on our deep industrial services and extensive business services, we offered comfortable office services and differentiated office experience to truly meet the needs of customers. Vanke's "good services" have been extended to all scenarios of living and working, and proved to be a good boost of people's quality life.
To bring a better and happier life and to share its development fruits with more people, in 2018, Vanke continued to respond to the call of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council for targeted poverty alleviation and rural rejuvenation, introduced innovative poverty relief patterns, and gave back to society with its expertise. In terms of targeted poverty alleviation, Vanke helped over 230,000 poor people in Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County in Xinjiang, Baise in Guangxi, and Nujiang in Yunnan. Vanke assisted the construction of Tibet Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum, a building of Vanke design and Tibetan colors and art on the roof of the world. We also supported the development of Shouning Eastern District Middle School in Fujian, Taheman School in Xinjiang, Zundao School in Sichuan, and many other schools in poverty-stricken villages in Guizhou and Gansu in the form of aided construction or donation. We contributed to the "Beautiful China" education support program and rural teacher support program to sow seeds of advanced education on the barren land. In terms of rural rejuvenation, we supported the rejuvenation of Xinghua in Jiangsu, Heyuan and Shanwei in Guangdong by using our expertise in design, planning and construction. We thus improved the look and infrastructure of local villages, created a more civilized and healthier environment, attracted migrant workers to come back to start their business, and helped locals increase income.
2018 is the first year for Vanke to implement the strategy of becoming an "urban and rural developer and life services provider", and to "stay converged and keep focused to consolidate and improve the fundamentals". Through convergence and concentration, we aim to build up our strategic edge; through consolidating and improving the fundamentals, we want to deliver more good products and services to meet the multi-level and differentiated demands of customers, and thus win the trust and support of customers in the era of word-of-mouth marketing.
Our vision is to take up improving the living quality of people as our duty, lead the industry with high-quality development, and become an outstanding enterprise in the great new era. Looking back on Vanke's 34-year glorious history, there have been hard times, but we always stay true to our original aspirations and dreams and bravely fight forward. In the new era, we will continue to work hard hand in hand and fight for more glories!
We will keep running because we are all dream chasers!

We adhere to the risk-oriented principle and further strengthen the three- tiered self-assessment system covering headquarters, business groups/business units and front-line subsidiaries, and continuous organize the headquarters functions and front-line subsidiaries to systematically self-evaluate their design and implementation of internal control. In line with the requirements of theCode of Corporate Governance issued by Hong Kong Stock Exchange, we have set up a risk management committee, established a three-tiered risk management framework covering headquarters, business groups/business units and first-line subsidiaries, and issued a risk management manual.

Detailed information on internal control and risk management can be found in the2018 Annual Report of Vanke .
Anti-corruption and anti-fraud
We continue to improve the anti-fraud system in three aspects. First, we strengthen anti-corruption education and case study through integrity publicity, red line education and integrity certification to ensure that every employee receives red line education at least once a year to prevent any intention to defraud; second, we strengthen internal control and fix management loopholes to prevent the same problem from repeating, leaving no room for employees to cheat; third, we combine internal and external resources to work together against fraud, strengthen investigation and punishment, verify every complaint filed in real name, and crack down on every violation of rules and laws to thwart any attempt to cheat.
Vanke holds the "zero tolerance" attitude towards fraud. We establish the Vanke Fraud Reporting Website (http://5198.vanke.com/) to promote the Company's anti-fraud policy, including reporting confidentiality, real-name priority, and rewarding policies, and also accept complaints and reports against employees or units engaging in malpractice, fraud and other violations of professional ethics. According to the three types of sunshine policy, the information of the whistleblowers is strictly confidential, and we give preference to real-name complaints, handle them first, and inform the whistleblowers of the investigation progress and results. At the same time, regardless of the internal staff or external personnel, once verified, we reward them based on the nature and influence of the incident, and their contribution, and also keep them confidential.
In addition, Vanke has set up the audit and supervision function with full-time staff, to perform internal anti-fraud functions, conduct special investigations, and play a supervisory role; through conducting regular application of employees' potential conflict of interest, integrity certification, integrity investigation, signing integrity commitment, etc.,as well as signing the Sunshine Cooperation Agreement with partners and other means, we continue to improve the establishment of Vanke's integrity system, create a healthy and clean business environment, and promote the healthy business development. We have joined forces with several well-known enterprises to launch the China Enterprise Anti-Fraud Alliance which had attracted over 300 enterprises by the end of 2018 and has become an important driving force in purging China's business environment.
Intellectual property protection
We continue to protect and build up our brand. From the group level, we unify strict and standardized management of patents, copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights and employ various means such as dynamic monitoring, investigation and evidence collection, complaints and suggestions, and legal proceedings to protect our brand image and reputation.
