DevGreat Group Limited has released its 2025 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, detailing progress on sustainability initiatives and setting new, quantifiable targets through 2026.
Environmental Performance and Goals • Emissions profile: Total greenhouse-gas output reached 28,502 tonnes CO₂e, with Scope 2 electricity-related emissions accounting for 93 % (26,500 tonnes CO₂e). Direct (Scope 1) emissions stood at 1,832 tonnes CO₂e and other indirect (Scope 3) emissions at 170 tonnes CO₂e. Air-pollutant discharges comprised 7.6 kg SOx, 358 kg NOx and 78 kg particulate matter. • Resource use: Electricity consumption was 40,134 thousand kWh and natural-gas use 9,636 thousand kWh. Water consumption totalled 443,873 m³. • Waste management: Non-hazardous solid waste amounted to 8,831 tonnes, while wastewater discharge was 241,097 m³. No hazardous waste was generated in the reporting year. • 2025-target framework (baseline 2021): – Greenhouse-gas intensity to be lowered by about 18 %. – Energy-consumption intensity to be cut by approximately 13 %. – Electricity consumption to fall 10 %; solid-waste generation to drop 10 %. – Water usage and wastewater discharge to decline 5 % annually.
Operational Measures Key actions include full LED retrofits, intelligent HVAC controls, elevator group-control systems, real-time energy monitoring, and expanded grey-water recycling. Green procurement clauses now cover roughly 20 % of suppliers, and DevGreat has introduced waste-oil tracking and a “zero-waste” initiative across commercial properties.
Regulatory Compliance and Risk Management DevGreat reports full compliance with applicable PRC and Hong Kong environmental regulations and references ISO 14001, ISO 50001 and ISO 45001 certification across major properties. Climate-related risk assessments follow TCFD guidelines, addressing acute weather events, chronic temperature and rainfall shifts, and transition risks linked to evolving carbon policies.
Human Capital Highlights • Workforce: 294 employees (53 % male, 47 % female); turnover rate at 11 %. • Training: 60 % of staff received development programmes, averaging five hours per employee. • Safety: Zero work-related fatalities or injuries recorded for the third consecutive year. • Benefits: Statutory social security schemes in the PRC and MPF in Hong Kong fully implemented.
Governance and Supply Chain • Anti-corruption: All employees signed integrity commitments; six dedicated training sessions (12 hours) covered 120 staff. No corruption cases were reported. • Suppliers: 422 active vendors (97 % mainland China, 3 % Hong Kong). Rigorous qualification reviews, environmental clauses and a blacklist mechanism are in place.
Community Engagement DevGreat expanded programmes in environmental clean-ups, elderly support visits and local procurement, aligning with four pillars: community civility, inclusion, vulnerable-group support and regional economic contribution.
Outlook In 2026 the board will integrate ESG metrics into operational KPIs, pursue further energy retrofits in commercial complexes and advance “transition-aligned” financing, maintaining alignment with China’s dual-carbon agenda and Hong Kong’s evolving sustainable-finance taxonomy.
