Compliance with Relevant Environmental Regulations
We have been strictly complying with any local or overseas regulations related to air and greenhouse gas emissions, discharges into water and land, and generation of hazardous and non-hazardous waste that significantly impacted our business operation. These regulations include, but not limited to, the Air Pollution Control Ordinance, Water Pollution Control Ordinance and Waste Disposal Ordinance. The Group was not aware of any violations of nor non-compliance with any of the relevant regulations within our operation. We will continue to closely monitor and follow any new changes in relevant laws and regulations, and adjust swiftly and accordingly.
Notes:
- Energy conversion factors of different fuel types are referenced from “How to prepare an ESG Report - Appendix 2: Reporting Guidance on Environmental KPIs” published by HKEX.
- Optimised data collection of vehicle usage resulted in higher reported consumption of petrol and diesel fuel, as well as air emissions.
- In FY2022/23, the annual energy intensity of properties that were fully owned and managed by the Group was 78.55 kWh/m2 and that of hotels were fully owned and managed by the Group was 254.29 kWh/m2, representing a reduction of 8.1% and 14.1% respectively compared to FY2020/21.
- GHG emissions are calculated based on “Guidelines to Account for and Report on Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Removals for Buildings (Commercial, Residential or Institutional Purposes) in Hong Kong (2010 Edition)” published by the Environmental Protection Department (“EPD”) and the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department (“EMSD”) of the Hong Kong SAR Government, unless otherwise stated in the following notes.
- Scope 1 emissions comprise HFC emissions from the use of refrigerants, consumption of Towngas, petrol and diesel from our vehicle fleets. The global warming potentials used for calculation are adopted from the “Fifth Assessment Report of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (“IPCC”)”.
- Scope 2 emissions comprise the consumption of Towngas and purchased electricity. Emission factors are adopted from CLP’s 2022 Sustainability Report, Hong Kong Electric’s Sustainability Report 2022 and The Hong Kong and China Gas Company Limited ESG Report 2022.
- Air emissions are generated from the consumption of Towngas, petrol and diesel fuel. The emission factors adopted are based on “Appendix 2: Reporting Guidance on Environmental KPIs” published by HKEX.
- In FY2022/23, the water intensity of properties that were fully owned and managed by the Group was 0.245 m3/m2 and that of hotels were fully owned and managed by the Group was 1.652 m3/m2, representing a reduction of 2.6% and 23.2% respectively compared to FY2020/21.
- A standard conversion factor (0.93507)for wastewater discharge has been applied to all business units under Nina Hospitality since FY2019/20.
- General waste data in certain locations is not available. The Group is currently optimising waste data collection methodology and enhancing the disclosure scope of non-hazardous waste.
- Optimised waste data collection resulted in higher reported non-hazardous waste disposed in FY2022/23.
- More properties have participated in the government’s food waste collection scheme resulted in higher reported food waste recycled in FY2022/23.
- Relevant figures have been disclosed from FY2022/23 onwards.
- Relevant figures have been disclosed from FY2022/23 onwards. All hazardous waste is recycled and handled by licensed contractors.
- WEEE presented in the unit of “kg” and “pieces” as stated in the recycle receipt.

ISSB Standards Content Index
IFRS S2 Content Index
The IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures (“IFRS S2”) was introduced by the International Sustainability Standards Board (“ISSB”) in June 2023. This introduction signifies a crucial turning point in the realm of sustainability disclosures within the global financial markets, enhancing the reliability and credibility of corporate sustainability information for investment decision-making. Our Group, as one of the pioneers in Hong Kong, now prepare our disclosure with reference to IFRS S2. Additionally, we aim to incorporating the ISSB‘s IFRS S1 General Requirements for Disclosure of Sustainability-related Financial Information (“IFRS S1”) and other relevant standards in the future, with a goal of elevating the clarity of our sustainability communications. The IFRS S2 Content Index is available in English only.

Verification Statement
Scope and Objective
Hong Kong Quality Assurance Agency (“HKQAA”) has been engaged by Chinachem Group (“CCG”) to undertake an independent verification of its “Sustainability Report 2022 – 2023” (“the Report”). The Report stated the sustainability performance of CCG for the period from 1st July 2022 to 30th June 2023 for its operations in Hong Kong.
The aim of this verification is to provide reasonable assurance of the reliability of the report contents. The Report has been prepared in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative’s (“GRI”) Standards and its latest Universal Standards 2021 and Appendix C2 “Environmental, Social and Governance Reporting Guide” (“ESG Guide”) of the Main Board Listing Rules of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“HKEx”). The Report also references selected disclosures, or parts of their content, from the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) recommendations and the International Sustainability Standards Board (“ISSB”) IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures (“IFRS S2”).
Level of Assuranceand Methodology
The process applied in this verification was based on the International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised), “Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board”. Our evidence-gathering process was designed to obtain a reasonable level of assurance as set out in the standard for the purpose of devising the verification conclusion. The extent of this verification process covered the criteria set in GRI Standards and its latest Universal Standards 2021, the ESG Guide, TCFD recommendations and IFRS S2.
The verification process included verifying information relevant to reporting and management procedures, including stakeholder engagement methods and results and materiality assessment processes. In addition, system and process for collecting, collating and reporting sustainability performance data were verified. Raw data and supporting evidence of the selected representative samples were also thoroughly examined during the verification process.
Independence
CCG is responsible for the collection and presentation of the information presented. HKQAA does not involve in the collection and calculation of data or the compilation of the reporting contents. Our verification activities are independent from CCG. There was no relationship between HKQAA and CCG that would affect the independence and impartiality of HKQAA for providing the verification service. HKQAA’s Code of Conduct with regard to integrity, impartiality and confidentiality has been strictly followed.
Conclusion
Based on the verification results,HKQAA has obtained reasonable assurance and is of the opinion that:
The Report has been prepared in accordance with the GRI Standards and its latest Universal Standards 2021 and the ESG Guide and referencesTCFD’s recommendations and IFRS S2;
The Report illustrates the sustainability performance of CCG in a balanced, comparable, clear, consistentand timely manner; and
- The data and information disclosed in the Report are accurate,reliable and complete.
Nothing has come to HKQAA’s attention that the selected sustainability performance information and data contained in the Report have not been prepared and presented fairly and honestly, in material aspects, in accordance with the verification criteria. In conclusion, the Report reflects truthfully the sustainability commitments, stewardship and performance of CCG, and discloses transparently their sustainability performance that is commensurate with their sustainability context and materiality.
