Chairman's Message

Dear Stakeholders,

As a responsible business, Chow Tai Fook operates with a long-term mindset, ensuring that we protect the trust that we have cultivated over the last 94 years. A challenging business environment last year did not deter us from advancing our sustainability initiatives to deliver a positive impact for people and the environment, while also generating positive long-term value.

We aim to contribute to combatting our greatest planetary, climate and human challenges by promoting responsible business practices. This includes supporting the five United Nations' Sustainability Development Goals ("SDGs") through "Our Centennial Commitment", which continues to guide our future-looking strategy.

Setting a Path to Resource Efficiency & Carbon

Reduction

Since we began reporting in FY2019 (base year), the Group has achieved 30% and 36% reductions in GHG emissions and water use intensity, respectively, and 52% reduction in waste intensity from production. But this is only the start of our journey. We are committed to further bolstering our business resilience and reducing our environmental impact through greener operations and responsible sourcing and selling. In FY2023, we undertook a thorough assessment of the environmental performance of our production hubs to identify emissions reduction and resource optimisation opportunities, strengthening our commitments to clean energy sourcing and resource optimisation, and deploying technology to reduce our environmental impact. These findings will inform our next phase of progress towards our targets.
