The Chongbang Group
Chongbang Group Sustainability Policy Framework
CHONGBANG HOLDINGS (INTERNATIONAL) LIMITED
(the “Company”, and its subsidiaries, the “Group” or “Chongbang”)
Sustainability and Climate Framework Policy
(the “Framework Policy”)
(Approved and Adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company on 28 November 2024)
1.Corporate Purpose
“At Chongbang, we are committed to beautifying our country at high standards and with respect, embracing responsible governance to create sustainable economic, environmental and social values for our shareholders and stakeholders.”
2.The Framework Policy Goal
The Framework Policy goal is to promote our corporate purpose by integrating sustainability and climate-related risks and opportunities into our business model and strategy, and managing such risks and opportunities in a targeted and measurable manner to create value for our stakeholders and shareholders over the short, medium and long term. We further reference our policy and purpose against the relevant United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”), focusing on eight SDGs that resonate with our corporate purpose.
3.The Framework Policy Implementation
Governance, Strategy, Management, Metrics and Targets are the four pillars of an implementation framework that helps the Group achieve the Framework Policy goal.
Pillar 1: Governance
Guided by clear principles and policies, Chongbang’s governance system advances our corporate mission, promotes a culture of openness, innovation and excellence, anticipates and manages sustainability and climate-related risks and opportunities, and drives sustainable business success.
The Framework Policy embeds environmental, social and economic objectives into core business strategies and operations, while linking remuneration to performance. This integrated approach promotes the balanced attainment of environmental, social and economic outcomes to deliver shared and sustainable value for shareholders and stakeholders.
The Framework Policy is implemented through the
Sustainability Governance Structure
(Appendix 1) as described below:
The Board of Directors (the “
Board”), through the support of the Sustainability Committee, provides direction and oversight of sustainability and climate-related matters, approves related policies, strategies and actions, endorses related disclosures and reports, and reviews staff performance and remuneration against targets.
The Sustainability Committee has overall responsibility for executing and overseeing sustainability and climate-related policies, drafting and amending sustainability and climate- related policies for the Board’s review and approval, managing sustainability and climate-related risks and opportunities, and providing a comprehensive approach to achieving corporate sustainability and strategic business goals.
The Sustainability Secretariat acts as the coordinating body that works with the Sustainability Implementation Team and external consultants to ensure that the mandates of the Sustainability Committee are executed.
The Sustainability Implementation Team drives the day-to-day implementation of sustainability and climate-related policies across the Group, conducts annual sustainability and climate-related risks and opportunities assessments, initiates performance improvement measures, monitors and analyzes performance metrics against targets, compiles the annual sustainability and climate-related disclosures and reports, and executes other mandates as directed from the Sustainability Committee.
Pillar 2: Strategy
Chongbang strategically integrates sustainability and climate-related risks and opportunities into our Life Hub business model. We will support our strategies with appropriate financing, and periodically test the resilience of our strategies against evolving market conditions, climate scenarios, regulatory and compliance requirements, and investor sentiments. In the process, we aim to mitigate the inherent risks and capture the emerging opportunities through continuous innovation and capacity building.
A.Sustainability Strategy
The Group’s sustainability strategy is predicated on creating economic, environmental and social values for the communities we serve.
Building Strong, Equitable Economies

We leverage our investments to promote urban regeneration, brown-to-green retrofit of existing buildings, and business innovation. This fosters local economic development and employment that in turn sustain our long-term business growth. By cultivating this essential synergy between Chongbang and our stakeholders, we create a virtuous cycle of expanding shared value, and fuel a win-win proposition for all.
Building Green, Low-Carbon Environments

We design and manage our projects to optimize resource efficiency, promote occupant safety and comfort, reduce our carbon footprint, enhance environmental quality and biodiversity and provide climate resilience through climate risk mitigation and adaptation.
Building Healthy, Inclusive Communities

We promote a healthy work-life balance for our corporate community, as well as improve the quality of life for the larger community we serve. We nurture productive and engaged employees through healthy, safe, and supportive work conditions, as well as foster inclusive, vibrant centers of community life through creative placemaking, community engagement, and corporate philanthropy.
B.Climate Strategy
The Group’s climate strategy is predicated on mitigating climate-related transition risks and adapting to climate-related physical risks.
Mitigate Transition Risks
Mitigation strategies aim to reduce our carbon emissions in line with China’s “30/60” Policy to peak emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, as well as regional and sectoral decarbonization mandates, if any. The key strategic tool is an Asset Decarbonization Plan aligned with “30/60” and our business strategy.
Adapt to Physical Risks
Adaptation strategies aim to make our properties more resilient to climate-related physical risks that already exist and are irreversible. The key strategic tool is an Asset Resilience Plan to strengthen our portfolio’s capacity to withstand, respond to, and rebound from hazardous climate events.
Pillar 3: Management
A.Management Domains
We achieve our sustainability and climate goals through coordinated action in five management domains: Property, Tenants & Suppliers, Customers, Community, and Employees.
Property
We design, construct and manage our properties responsibly to enhance energy and environmental performance, occupant health, safety and well-being, climate resiliency, and social vibrancy.
Tenant & Supplier
We monitor and adapt to market dynamics, seek tenant feedback and leverage technology, innovation, and partner networks to ensure tenants’ success and satisfaction. Through sustainability training and awareness programs, we engage with tenants and suppliers to promote human rights, workforce health and safety, energy and resource efficiency, and waste reduction in the supply chain.
Customer
We engage with customers to anticipate changing consumer trends and customer needs. We promote green consumption, healthy lifestyles, intergenerational harmony, and personalized customer experience through curated programs, products, and services.
Community
We build vibrant community hubs that are welcoming to all. We strengthen the social fabric by enhancing the sense of community and social harmony, and improve the quality of living by fostering a greener lifestyle.
Employee
We embrace industry best practices in fair hiring, remuneration, diversity and inclusion, and employee health, safety and well-being to attract and retain the best talents. We promote corporate capacity building, training and career development, workplace environmental quality, as well as work-life balance.
B.Sustainability Risk Management (SRM)
The Group manages sustainability-related risks, including economic, environmental, social and governance (EESG) risks, using a dynamic, double-materiality lens to assess our direct and indirect (including our supply chain’s) EESG impacts.
Economic risks include risks related to business investments and operations, including market risks and impact on local employment and economic development.
Environmental risks include risks related to building safety, energy and resource efficiency, waste management, environmental quality, and biodiversity.
Social risks include risks related to the health, safety and wellbeing of stakeholders, employee labor standards and working conditions, training and development, diversity, equity and inclusion, employee and customer satisfaction, community impact of our investments, and stakeholder relations.
Governance risks include risks related to bribery, fraud, corruption and other breaches of the Group’s policies, data protection and privacy, cybersecurity and shareholder rights.
C.Climate Risk Management (CRM)
The Group manages climate-related risks, including transition and physical risks, using a dynamic, double-materiality lens to assess our direct and indirect (including our supply chain’s) impacts.
Transition risks are risks associated with the global transition to a lower-carbon, circular economy, including but not limited to policy, legal, technology, market and reputation risks.
Physical risks are chronic and acute risks associated with a warming planet, including but not limited to sea-level rise, loss of biodiversity, increased severity and/or frequency of storms, heat waves and wildfires.
Pillar 4: Targets & Metrics
We establish metrics and targets to measure the performance of our sustainability and climate- related strategies and actions, and to assess our progress towards policy goals and short, medium and long-term targets. Strategies, actions, metrics and targets are reviewed and adjusted periodically.
Economic targets are designed to focus on creating and enhancing value for our shareholders and stakeholders. These targets aim to promote local employment opportunities and contribute to the economic well-being of the communities in which we operate, fostering sustainable growth and long-term financial stability. Key metrics include but are not limited to local tax revenue increases, job creation, tenant and customer satisfaction rates, and the percentage of green financing.
Environmental targets are designed to enhance our operational efficiency and environmental stewardship. These targets aim to increase our energy and resource efficiency, enhance environmental quality, reduce our carbon footprint, promote energy transition towards renewable sources, and improve our climate resilience. Key metrics include but are not limited to the percentage of assets with green building certifications, energy and water efficiency measures (kWh/m2 and tons/m2), waste diversion rates, and the percentage of green leases.
Social targets are designed to reflect our commitment to corporate social responsibility and community engagement. These targets aim to promote human rights throughout our operations and supply chain and improve the quality of living in our communities while delivering health and well-being benefits to our tenants, customers, and employees. Key metrics include but are not limited to employee satisfaction and engagement rates, training hours, gender distribution, health and safety indicators, and community outreach metrics.
Governance targets are designed to improve our corporate governance practices. These targets aim to enhance transparency, accountability, and ethical behavior across all levels of our Group. Key metrics include but are not limited to compliance with best practices, the percentage of management with sustainability-linked remuneration, and the frequency of stakeholder surveys.
