Environmental Performance ^{(Note 1)}

Air Emissions

Greenhouse Gas Emissions ^{(Note 2)}

【1】To facilitate readers’ comprehensive understanding of the quantified environmental performance of the Group, the performance of CSCD is also presented in each indicator. The environmental performance of CSCD is aligned with the ESG report in its 2020 Annual Report, while some are independently assessed.

【2】GHG emissions quantification process and emission factors refer to the national standards and guidelines of the People's Republic of China (Guidelines for Accounting and Reporting Greenhouse Gas Emissions China Public Building Operation Units (Enterprises) (Trial) and Guidelines for Accounting and Reporting Greenhouse Gas Emissions Other Industrial Enterprises (Trial)), Guidelines to Account for and Report on Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Removals for Buildings (Commercial, Residential or Institutional Purposes) in Hong Kong prepared by the Environmental Protection Department and the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department of Hong Kong, SME Carbon Audit Toolkit compiled by the University of Hong Kong and the City University of Hong Kong, and the international standards ISO 14064-1 and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

【3】Including emissions of fire suppression systems from sites of operation within the reporting boundary and emissions of refrigerant from CSCD. The use of BTM (bromotrifluoromethane) in fire suppression systems produces fugitive greenhouse gas emissions, which are not among the six greenhouse gases in the Kyoto Protocol, but are included in this carbon assessment in order to give a true and fair representation of greenhouse gas-related information. It is also one of the controlled substances in Annex A of the Montreal Protocol and is approximately 1.0 tonnes of CFC-11 (trichlorofluoromethane) equivalent.

【4】The GHG emissions from waste paper disposal, water consumption and sewage treatment only include emissions generated from operations in Hong Kong.

【5】The total amount and breakdowns may not be consistent at the last digit due to rounding.

【11】Total number of employees in 31 Dec 2020.

【12】Rate of new hires = (Number of new hires in 2020 / Number of current employees on 31 Dec 2020) x 100%.

【13】Rate of employee turnover = (Number of employee turnover in 2020 / average number of current employees on 1 January 2020 and 31 Dec 2020) x 100%.

【17】A high-consequence work-related injury is an injury that cannot or is not expected to recover fully to pre-injury health status within 6 months.

【18】High-consequence work-related injury rate = (Number of high-consequence injuries / Original number of total working hours) × 200,000.

【19】Lost day rate = (Total number of lost days/ Original number of total working hours) × 200,000; Total number of working hours measured by 8 hours per working day.

【20】Absentee rate = (Number of absent days/ Original total number of working days) x 100%.

【21】Calculated based on 8 hours of work for each employee per working day.

【22】Causes of work-related injuries include slips, falls and traffic accidents.

【23】Including contractors/ sub-contractors, interns, volunteers and other workers whose venue of work or work are managed by the Group.
