Message from the Chair

Chair of the Board and Chair of the Sustainability Steering Committee (SSC)
2025 was a pivotal year for Hang Lung's sustainability efforts, marking the transition to a more mature, ambitious phase in our journey.
This past year, we achieved our "25 x 25" targets - the 25 targets that we set out to achieve by the end of 2025, detailed later in this report. We also resolved to refresh our 2030 Sustainability Goals and Targets, which were originally formulated back in
2020. As we know, both Hang Lung and the world have changed considerably since then. After extensive external benchmarking, internal consultation and Board review, we announced our revised 2030 Sustainability Goals and Targets in January 2026. The new targets
are sharply defined, reflect our latest priorities, and capture our heightened ambition as a company. I would say that the refreshed 2030 targets are at least as ambitious, if not more, than our previous targets.
We also saw significant progress in several major initiatives in 2025. In construction, our two low carbon emissions steel procurements at Plaza 66 Pavilion Extension and Westlake 66 projects amounted to 2,500 tonnes
of steel, representing a 42% reduction in carbon emissions. Through our Changemakers Program, we are now partnering with 76 tenants on sustainability, comprising 20% of our leased floor area. In addition, our renewable energy procurement now covers nine out of
ten Mainland properties (Heartland 66 is the
latest, from January 2026), supporting China's dual-carbon goals while delivering value to us and our tenants.
During the year, we also made two
significant contributions to thought leadership in sustainability. In March, we published a discussion paper titled "Our Journey to Net Zero: Our Scenarios and Actions to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions to 2050."Based on a detailed decarbonization model, the
paper highlights challenges, opportunities, and blind spots in real estate decarbonization. It has generated much discussion, as we had hoped it would, including in the South China Morning Post and in various sustainability events and forums.
The cooling (i.e., air conditioning) of commercial real estate is a bigger source of emissions than most people realize, and
global cooling demand is growing. With these issues in mind, in January 2026, the Carbon Containment Lab published a report titled "Bending the Curve: Cost-effective cooling emission reduction pathways for commercial real estate in China and the U.S." The project was sponsored by Hang Lung and LVMH Group under our pioneering sustainability partnership, and one of the paper's authors is from Hang Lung's Sustainability Team. The paper captures attractive opportunities to reduce emissions from cooling, and we are exploring practical applications with other stakeholders.

Lastly, 2025 also marked an important evolution in Hang Lung's business strategy, with positive implications for our sustainability direction. Under our V.3 strategy, we will focus on expanding our business in existing cities through smaller investments, such as asset enhancements and strategic partnerships (e.g., 20-year operating leases). While we are pursuing this strategy primarily for business reasons, it will also substantially reduce our environmental impact compared to our earlier strategy, which was rooted in large-scale new developments. I am encouraged by the way business and sustainability reinforce each other in this new approach.
In 2026, Hang Lung celebrates our
66th anniversary. It is an exciting moment
to imagine new possibilities for action, ideas and collaboration as we look to advance our sustainable growth.

Message from the Chief
Executive Officer
Weber Lo
Chief Executive Oficer
I am pleased to present our Sustainability Report 2025, the 14th edition of our annual update on sustainability performance.
Five years ago, we announced our 25×25 Sustainability Targets with the ambition to embed sustainability considerations into every aspect of our business. I am pleased to
share that we have achieved-and in several areas exceeded-these targets. Building on this momentum, in January 2026 we announced our refreshed 2030 Sustainability Goals and Targets: a set of more measurable, focused objectives to guide our actions over the next five years.
Our commitment to transparency and performance continues to deliver strong results across major ESG benchmarks and indices. We saw notable improvements, for instance, in our S&P Global CSA score and in attaining the CDP A List for both Climate and Water Security.
We remain committed to advancing our sustainability efforts to align with evolving stakeholder expectations. The following five achievements highlight how we collaborate with like-minded partners to amplify our sustainability impact.
Renewable energy
In 2025, we made progress in our renewable energy procurement, expanding from five to eight Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) across our ten operating properties in our Chinese Mainland. From May 1, 2025, Forum 66 and Palace 66 in Shenyang, and Olympia 66 in Dalian became the first commercial properties in Liaoning Province to procure 100% renewable electricity. In late 2025, RE100, a global initiative led by Climate Group, recognized Hang Lung with the
"Best Newcomer" title at its 2025 RE100 Leadership Awards.
Low carbon emissions materials Following our pioneering low carbon emissions steel procurement for our Plaza 66 Pavilion Extension in Shanghai in 2024, we secured
an additional 1,000 tonnes of low carbon emissions steel for Westlake 66 in Hangzhou in 2025. The Westlake transaction covered more than 80% of the reinforcing bars used in a key Westlake 66 connecting tunnel, and reduced emissions by about 50% compared
with conventional materials. Overall, across the two projects, we have procured almost 2,500 tonnes of lower emission steel, representing a combined 42% reduction in steel emissions.

In 2025, Hang Lung also continued to support various broader initiatives with associations, universities, and others to help accelerate the deployment of low carbon emissions steel across the economy.
Tenant partnerships
We continued to partner with our tenants to accelerate shared sustainability goals. Following the launch of our Changemakers:
Tenant Partnerships on Sustainability Program in 2024, we celebrated tenants' achievements at Recognition Ceremony events in Hong Kong and Shanghai in April 2025. Participation in our Changemakers Program expanded significantly in its second year. By December 2025, we were proud to have 76 tenants across 18 properties
-covering 20% of the applicable leased floor area-partnering with us on sustainability initiatives. We look forward to welcoming more tenants in 2026 so we can amplify sustainability outcomes together.
Community investments
We are committed to connecting communities across our portfolio and empowering young entrepreneurs by offering spaces that spark opportunity and growth. In 2025, we launched Community · Connect, offering rent-free spaces to young entrepreneurs and community groups in Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland.
Most participants reported expanded networks, greater confidence, and increased income as a result of the program.
Following the tragic Wang Fuk Court fire in Tai Po, we pledged HK$11 million to launch the Tai Po Wang Fuk Court Fire Relief Fund, including HK$10 million for relief and recovery, while providing 20 rent-free serviced apartments
at Kornhill Apartments for two months. We are committed to ensuring the fund delivers
meaningful support to the affected households.
Economic performance
In 2025, market conditions improved compared to the previous year, despite economic uncertainty and evolving customer preferences. While our total revenue declined by 11% due to lower property sales, our core leasing revenue decreased by only 1%, backed by strong retail occupancy and tenant mix improvements. The Hang Lung V.3 strategy launched in 2025 emphasizes core city expansion, experience enhancement, and selective, capital-efficient investments to reinforce scale and visibility.
As I prepare to retire from my role as Chief Executive Officer in August 2026, I wish to express my deep gratitude to our colleagues, Board, investors, partners, and the communities we serve. I am proud of the significant progress we have made in
sustainability over the last eight years, and I am confident that Hang Lung is well-positioned to pursue our refreshed 2030 Sustainability Goals and Targets, and our longer-term sustainability ambitions.

The Four Priorities
Our Sustainability Framework is anchored by four pillars, or overarching priorities, that define our most material ESG risks and opportunities. These priorities inform our investments, management, and stakeholder engagement:
Climate Resilience: We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint in line with science and adapting to a changing climate.
Resource Management: We aim to drive efficient and circular use of natural resources and help regenerate nature. This commitment involves minimizing waste,
optimizing water and energy consumption, and supporting the regeneration of nature through biodiversity practices.
Wellbeing: We foster safe, inclusive, and healthy spaces that enhance the quality of life for all stakeholders. This priority encompasses occupational health and safety (OHS), indoor environmental quality (IEQ), and community and customer wellbeing.
Sustainable Transactions: We collaborate with key stakeholders across our value chain-suppliers, tenants, and investors-to advance our sustainability priorities. This effort includes sustainable procurement, green finance, and tenant engagement programs.
Execution
Our sustainability strategy is implemented through a governance model that engages the organization through both top-down and bottom-up initiatives.
Governance and Accountability:
Top-level commitment: The Board's Executive Committee endorses all
sustainability policies and frameworks, ensuring alignment with the Group's longterm strategy.
Sustainability Steering Committee (SSC):
The SSC, chaired by the Board Chair, coordinates strategy development and execution across departments. Dedicated subcommittees (e.g., health and safety) oversee specialized topics.
Board approval of Sustainability Report.
Starting with this Sustainability Report 2025, the Board reviews and approves the annual sustainability report.
Performance Integration:
Operational integration: Sustainability KPIs are embedded into the annual performance
reviews of the CEO, senior management, and relevant departments, thereby linking ESG performance to remuneration.
Employee empowerment: We build internal capacity through comprehensive ESG
training and engagement programs, enabling employees to identify and implement sustainability solutions.
Expenditure reviews: Sustainability considerations are integrated into annual
expenditure reviews and budgeting processes, ensuring adequate resources are allocated for ESG initiatives and that these initiatives deliver value.
Champions: We have invited representatives from all departments to form a group
known as the Sustainability Champions, who serve as key liaisons for driving
and coordinating sustainability initiatives across the organization. This initiative aims to deepen ownership, enhance
cross-functional collaboration, and cultivate a more sustainability-driven culture throughout the business.
Value Chain and Stakeholder Engagement:
Advancing sustainability: We extend our efforts beyond direct operations
by collaborating with suppliers, tenants, investors and other stakeholders.
Transparency and continual improvement:
We uphold robust transparency standards via annual sustainability reports aligned with local and international standards. We strive to improve by participating in ESG benchmarks, indices, and awards.
Thought leadership: We provide thought leadership and help support
industry progress by sharing insights and experiences, producing innovative white papers, participating in speaking engagements with industry peers, and collaborating with associations to foster change. Please see Appendix 2for a list
of the Group's significant external speaking engagements related to sustainability
in 2025.

Material Issues
We employ a structured materiality assessment process to identify the ESG topics that are critical to our long-term value creation and stakeholder trust. Our methodology, aligned with GRI 3: Material Topics 2021
and the double materiality principles of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), evaluates issues through two distinct but interconnected lenses:
Impact materiality: The significance of our impacts on the economy, environment,
and people.
Financial materiality: The potential financial effects of sustainability risks and
opportunities on our business model, cash flows, and enterprise value.
This dual perspective ensures our sustainability strategy and reporting remain responsive
to evolving risks, opportunities, and stakeholder expectations.
2025 Materiality Review Process In 2024, we conducted a comprehensive double materiality assessment, engaging
internal and external stakeholders through
surveys, in-depth interviews, and focus groups. For the 2025 reporting cycle, we engaged an independent third-party consultant to validate and refresh these findings to maintain their continued relevance.
The methodology of our materiality assessment is as follows:
Trend analysis: We conducted a scan of global and regional sustainability trends to identify emerging risks and opportunities.
Expert engagement: We held five additional targeted interviews with external stakeholders and subject-matter experts. These discussions provided granular insights into key material topics, specifically: energy management and decarbonization; technology and innovation; nature and biodiversity; placemaking; and responsible supply chain management.
Expert feedback: Experts reviewed our updated sustainability strategies and 2030 targets
and confirmed that they correspond with material risks.
Based on this review, the Chair of the Sustainability Steering Committee and the Board acknowledged that the outcomes of the 2024 materiality assessment remain current and valid for 2025. The 20 material ESG issues identified continue to form the basis of our priorities and reporting boundaries.
Prioritization and Materiality Matrix
We prioritize issues by weighing multiple inputs, including stakeholder
surveys, enterprise risk assessments, and alignment with sustainability reporting standards (Global Reporting Initiative, GRI; Sustainability Accounting Standards Board, SASB; International Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS).
Governance and Validation
The materiality assessment process is overseen by the Sustainability Steering Committee. The preliminary results and the 2025 validation findings were reviewed by the Sustainability Team, led by the Deputy Director - Sustainability. The final determination
of material topics was endorsed by the Group's Board, ensuring that our sustainability disclosures are fully integrated with our corporate governance and strategic oversight.
In this Report, we provide detailed disclosures on our management approach, performance metrics, and stakeholder engagement outcomes for these "Most Material"
issues, while also covering the remaining material topics for greater transparency and completeness.

Stakeholder Engagement
Engaging with our stakeholders is fundamental to maintaining our social license to operate and identifying the material ESG risks and opportunities that shape our business strategy. Our approach is governed by a comprehensive, group-wide Stakeholder Engagement Policy, that mandates a consistent methodology
for identifying, prioritizing, and engaging stakeholders across all local operations. This policy ensures that we systematically capture diverse perspectives, from investors and tenants to local communities and regulators, integrating their feedback into our decision-making processes across the short-, medium-, and long-term.
Our Approach
We employ a multi-pronged engagement strategy designed to build trust, facilitate transparency, and enable dialogue. Our framework categorizes stakeholders into two primary groups:
Core business partners: Stakeholders directly connected to our value chain,
including employees, investors, tenants, suppliers, and contractors.
Broader community: External parties whose interests intersect with our sustainability
focus areas, including local communities, NGOs, government agencies, academic institutions, and industry associations.
Engagement Channels
To ensure inclusive and effective communication, we have established clear, accessible channels, including the Group's contact information, as disclosed on our website, social media, corporate newsletter, and in this Report, through which stakeholders including local stakeholders can submit inquiries or raise concerns. Key sustainability publications are available to all stakeholder groups on our corporate website, providing timely and transparent access to information. For serious grievances, we operate a confidential whistleblowing mechanism that allows stakeholders to submit complaints via email or post, allowing for independent review and resolution.
We are committed to continual improvement in our engagement practices. In 2025, we conducted a review of potential barriers to engagement, which led to improved access to information on our corporate website
and refined feedback loops that support
our responsiveness to stakeholder comments and insights.
2025 Outcomes
In 2025, we maintained a full schedule of engagement activities. The feedback obtained has been instrumental in shaping both our 2030 Sustainability Targets and the content of this Report.
