InvesTech Holdings released its 2025 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report, outlining governance structures, quantified environmental targets and key social indicators covering the period 1 January – 31 December 2025.
Governance and Framework • Oversight of climate strategy rests with the Board, supported by a three-tier ESG working group that identifies, monitors and reports risks and opportunities. • The report follows Hong Kong Exchange Appendix C2 ESG Reporting Code; climate disclosures reference IFRS S2 guidance.
Climate Targets and Progress • New five-year goals: reduce absolute greenhouse-gas (GHG) emission intensity and purchased-energy intensity by 1 %, using 2025 as the base year. • 2025 GHG emissions totalled 152.39 tCO₂e (Scope 1: nil, Scope 2: 117.05 tCO₂e, Scope 3: 35.34 tCO₂e), equivalent to 0.05 tCO₂e per m² of floor area. • Energy consumption reached 232.33 MWh, flat year-on-year, after a complete shift to electric vehicles that eliminated Scope 1 and air-pollutant emissions. • Scenario analysis using IPCC SSP1-2.6 and SSP5-8.5 indicates greater physical-risk exposure under high-emission trajectories; no material financial impact identified to date.
Environmental Performance • Non-hazardous waste generated: 3.98 t (1.24 kg per m²) driven mainly by office paper; a paper-reduction programme and recycling measures are in place. • Shanghai office water use: 23,460 m³ (58.19 m³ per m²); no supply constraints reported. • “Smart Office Software Solutions” leverage IoT analytics to optimise workspace energy and resource efficiency for clients.
Workforce and Labour Practices • Headcount stood at 310, of which 306 are full-time; turnover rate rose to 32.58 % (male 25.11 %, female 54.43 %). • Workforce by location: Mainland China 246 employees, Hong Kong 60, Vietnam 4. • Training coverage reached 68.39 % of staff, averaging 5.04 hours per employee; programmes included AI-driven platform workshops and Cisco certification. • No work-related fatalities or lost working days recorded in the past three years; zero non-compliance cases with labour, health or safety regulations.
Supply Chain and Product Responsibility • Approved supplier base totals 13 (Mainland China 8, Hong Kong 5); vendors are evaluated on quality, technical capability and ESG criteria. • The group received no significant service complaints and secured three Cisco awards, including “Greater China Security Partner of the Year”, recognising network-security and AI innovation capabilities.
Ethics and Data Protection • A zero-tolerance policy toward bribery, fraud and money-laundering is enforced through an Anti-Corruption Code of Ethics and whistle-blower mechanism; no related legal cases were recorded. • Data-privacy safeguards include firewalls, system updates and strict employee confidentiality clauses; no breaches reported.
Community Engagement • While no financial donations were made during the reporting period, employees are encouraged to volunteer; community-investment policies remain in place for future initiatives.
