4. Co-build the Environment
The operations of the Group's projects and offices are in compliance with the Environmental Protection Law of the People's Republic of China (《中華人民共和國環境保護法》), the Construction Project Environmental Protection Management Regulations (《建設項目環境保護管理條例》) and other environmental protection-related laws and regulations. There were no violations that occurred. We ensure that the projects meet the emission standards for air, sewage and noise during construction and operation. In addition, we take into account environmental elements, such as adding green areas and conserving the biodiversity during the design stage of the project.
4.1 EMISSION MANAGEMENT
We identify that the projects or offices produce the following emissions when using vehicles, and the emissions data for the Year is as follows:
Emission type | Unit | Emissions data1 |
Nitrogen oxides (NOx) | kg | 2,131.2 |
Sulphur oxides (SOx) | kg | 9.7 |
Particulate Matter (PM) | kg | 187.6 |
In order to calculate the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under the environmental KPIs, we have conducted an inventory based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (《溫室氣候盤查議定書》), developed by the World Resources Institute and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development and the ISO14064-1 set by the International Standards Organization. During the Year, we updated the emission factors of Scope 1 and 2 and added the calculation of emissions from sewage treatments under Scope 3. The summary of GHG emissions for the Year is as follows:
Summary of GHG Emissions | Unit | 2019 |
GHG emissions | ||
Direct GHG emissions (Scope 1) | Tonnes of CO2 equivalent (CO2e) | 623,774.52 |
GHG removal (Scope 1) | Tonnes of CO2e | 11.9 |
Indirect GHG emissions (Scope 2) | Tonnes of CO2e | 11,352.9 |
Total GHG emissions (Scope 1 and 2) | Tonnes of CO2e | 635,115.5 |
Intensity of GHG emissions | ||
Per 1,000 square meter of area | Tonnes of CO2e/1,000 m2 | 147.17 |
(Scope 1 and 2) | ||
Scope 1: | The direct GHG emissions generated from sources owned and controlled by the Group. | |
Scope 2: | GHG emissions indirectly generated by electricity generation, heating and cooling or steam purchased by the Group. |

The fuel consumption and kilometers traveled by vehicles of some collection scopes are only provided by estimation, and some collection scopes failed to provide relevant data. Therefore, the emissions data calculated did not fully represent the environmental KPIs boundary. We will strive to improve the accuracy of data collection in the coming years.
Fuel consumption by generators, lawn mowers, herbicides, and sweepers that are used in garden areas are collected by project sites during operation.

4. Co-build the Environment
The world has increased its attention to environmental issues. Three of the top five risks in the "2019 Global Risk Report" fall into the environmental category, namely extreme weather events, failure of climate-change mitigation and adaptation and natural disasters. In view of this, the Stock Exchange has added the climate change aspect and has required company to set targets for some environmental indicators when stipulating the new requirements of the Guide. The Group is attaching greater importance to the operational impacts on the environment, proposing various emissions and consumption reduction measures and strategies to cope with climate change.
Emission Reduction Measures
In terms of vehicle management, employees are not allowed to abuse company's vehicles. The appropriate vehicle type is selected for each office or site project according to its needs to optimize the efficiency of usage, and employees are even encouraged to take public transport. Drivers also plan their driving routes in advance to fulfill the needs of employees who are working at different places. We conduct proper maintenance for vehicles and phase out vehicles that have low efficiency and high fuel consumption.
As for business air travel, we give priority to selecting direct flights for employees who need to travel by air, and encourage them to travel by train rather than by air for domestic trips.
4.2 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION MEASURES
We are committed to enhancing the environmental awareness of our employees and implementing environmental protection measures in offices and site projects. In addition, through monitoring the annual environmental performance, we identify areas for improvement and reduce the impact on the environment.
Energy Conservation
During the Year, the total consumption of purchased electricity in the scope of environmental KPIs was 12,803.7 MWh, and the electricity consumption intensity was 3.0 MWh per 1,000 square meter of floor area. There was a reduction of 21.1% compared with the intensity of 3.8 MWh per 1,000 square meter of floor area in the previous year. The reason for the reduction of electricity consumption intensity was that the construction sites of Butterfly Hotel (蝶湖酒店), Yongqing (永清) and Foshan Taiping (佛山太平) had been completed during the Reporting Period and the power consumption at the stage of near completion was lowered. In addition, some site projects had difficulties in providing power consumption so they are provided in an estimated manner. We have also implemented the following energy conservation measures:
- Monitor the power consumption in office areas and construction sites, analyze abnormal power consumption and formulate targeted measures for improvement;
- Encourage employees to switch off lights when they are not in use;
- Apply glass design to offices for high light transmittance and encourage the use of sunlight;
- Consider energy-saving benefits when purchasing and replacing lamps or other equipment;
- Equip with independent switches to control different lighting areas flexibly;
- Attach anti-UV heat insulation films to windows to prevent the heat transfer to indoor;
- Use an air conditioning system to effectively control temperature, wind flow and humidity;
- Clean, maintain and repair the air conditioning system on a regular basis such that problems can be settled immediately once they are found; and
- Allow employees to not wear ties and formal suits in hot weather to reduce the usage of air conditioning, etc.

4. Co-build the Environment
Water resource conservation
During the Year, the Group has additionally collected water consumption data of the site projects with 1,728,448.3 tonnes in total, representing the water consumption intensity of 400.5 tonnes per 1,000 square meters. As the disclosure scope is different from last year and that the intensity cannot be compared. In the future, we will maintain this collecting method to make data comparable.
In terms of water conservation in the offices, we have posted reminder stickers of water conservation in washrooms and pantries. Faucets and double flush toilets with water conservation labels are used in the washrooms, and faucets are installed with infrared sensors. We use recycled sanitary waste water for cleaning and irrigation. To avoid concealed water leakage and missing repair opportunities, the Group regularly conducts leakage tests on concealed water pipes and checks the readings of water tanks and meters.
Resource conservation
The purchased products need to have higher recycling efficiency, less packaging, longer validity periods and higher energy efficiency. In addition, we have placed reusable utensils in pantries to encourage employees to use. To raise employees' awareness and responsibility of environmental protection we promote emissions reduction measures through media such as emails, posters, and Intranet as well as arrange environmental protection training courses for employees.
We understand that the use of paper in operation is unavoidable and focus on increasing recovery rate and cultivating employees to cherish paper. Employees need to evaluate the needs of printing documents. Employees are expected to properly save documents in case of reusing documents to avoid repeated printing. Offices have adopted an electronic office system that can effectively reduce paper usage. Relevant departments regularly monitor paper usage and printing volume as well as timely remind employees to reduce printing. Regarding the recycling works, we place recycling bins next to printers to collect waste paper and also encourage employees to reuse envelopes, folders and file cards and other stationery items.
During the Year, we consumed a total of 16,980.8 kg of paper, and every employee consumed 12.5 kg of paper on average.
Waste treatment
The construction waste generated from site projects has a deeper impact on the Group than the daily office waste. In accordance with the requirements of the "Environmental Acceptance Checklist on the Completion of Construction Project" (《建設項目竣工環境保護驗收意見表》) and the "Review Report on the Environmental Supervision during Construction Period" (《施工期環境監理回顧性報告》) of projects, we inspect all construction activities and areas and hand over construction waste to qualified recycling companies for thorough disposal in order to eliminate the occurrence of illegal disposal. The daily waste generated from the project during operation was handled by the way of "disposing waste every day" 「( 日產日清」).
During the Year, we generated a total of 1,309.8 tonnes of non-hazardous waste, with an intensity of 1.0 tonne per employee. As waste generated in site projects and office are both hard to measure, the data is provided in estimation only. Furthermore, such data is not always available for all projects. Therefore, we will deepen the collection standards on such data to prepare for target setting in the future.
During the Year, we generated a total of 25,600.3 kg of hazardous waste, with an intensity of 18.9 kg per employee. Our printing equipment use recyclable and reusable cartridges/toner cartridges, which are refillable by lease personnel on a regular basis. We have also placed recycling bins to collect used batteries to ensure that hazardous waste can be properly treated. All computers of the company have specific lifespan, upon expiry of which the computers will be handled over to qualified recycling companies for disposal.

7. Into the Community
Guorui Properties made charitable and other donations of total RMB9 million during the Reporting Period. We made full use of the Group's advantages to organize the below activities to contribute to the community, reflecting our original intention for public welfare:
"Co-Construction of Village and Enterprise for Harmonious and Happy Shizhou" (「村企共建,和樂石洲」)
In response to the rural revitalization strategy of the state, the rectification plan of Shizhou Village is one of the goals to fulfill social responsibility. The Group has invested more than RMB2 millions of charity funds to carry out overall planning, focusing on creating ecologically sound and livable beautiful village.
After in-depth research, we gathered team members from the Design Center of Technology Department and the Engineering Design Department and other departments to start the planning and architectural design of the beautiful village of Shizhou. During the process, outstanding professional engineers were led by the leaders to visit and investigate the village many times and put forward specific rectification guidelines for road renovation, housing construction, infrastructure construction, etc., thereby combining the natural environment with the characteristics of the historical and cultural resources of the village area. As for the road renovation project, Guorui Properties proposed three strategies of "Repairing, Cleaning and Widening" 「( 修、 清、拓」), which included: repairing damaged roads and improving the road network; removing wastes that are occupied roads and illegal buildings; widening the width of roads and constructing according to the basic requirements of rural roads, etc.
With various preparations in the early stage, the rectification project of Shizhou Village was officially started on 2nd October 2019. During the construction period, Guorui Properties assigned many engineers to conduct several field visits to ensure the quality and effect of the rectification of Shizhou Village. With the professional and scientific rectification plan, the Wenhai Nanbei Road has been completely revitalized. It became a flat and wide cement avenue from a muddy country road on rainy days, which facilitated the transportation and working of villagers in Shizhou. In the renovation project of the village committee, we also selected economically applicable and environmentally sustainable materials, such as local stone, brick, tile, wood (imitation wood), raw soil and other construction materials, to show our contribution to the environment.
22 | Environmental, Social and Governance Report 2 019 |
Warm community
In addition to the rectification of the roads and village committee of Shizhou Village, we also donated RMB200,000 to support the village committee to organize caring activities to the elderly, promoting the Chinese culture of respecting, caring and loving the elderly. Shizhou Village organized a large-scale charity event with over 1000 participants for the elderly over 60 years old, strongly appealing to people to actively participate in the public benefit activities of caring the elderly and transmit positive social energy. In addition, our staff also visited the elderly in a welfare home in Shantou City to show their love through actions.
7. Into the Community
We relentlessly pursue the concept of taking responsibility, achieving multiple wins and creating harmony. Shizhou Village is the first step in our contribution to society in the Shunde area. In the future, we will continue to practice social responsibility and strive to make greater contributions to the development of human settlements in China as well as the sustainable economic and social development.
