二零一六年年報

Environmental, Social and Governance Report (“ESG Report”)

環境、社會及管治報告（「環境、社會及管治報告」）

ESG-related risks were also raised and discussed in the Company’s risk

management meetings which were held on a regular basis. Comments and

recommendations were reported back to Senior Management.

Materiality Assessment

During the year, the stakeholders’ opinions collected were reviewed and

assessed. Taking into account the reporting principles as set out in the ESG

Reporting Guide, the business nature and principal activity of the Company,

the relevant information under the Social Areas of the ESG Guide, which

is considered to be important to its investors and stakeholders, would be

disclosed in details in this ESG Report. Information on the relevant policies

adopted by the Company and how such policies comply with the relevant laws

and regulations would also be disclosed.

Given the fact that the Company is an e-commerce and internet services

company, the three aspects under the Environmental Area, namely Emission,

Use of Resources and the Environment and Natural Resources, are not

considered material enough which need to be disclosed in accordance with

the ESG Guide. Nevertheless, the Company understands the importance

of environmental protection and undoubtedly supports it. In this regard,

the Company constantly reminds its staff to protect the environment and

use energy and resources effectively and efficiently by issuing policies and

guidelines on the related subjects. In this ESG Report, we would voluntarily

disclose the policies and practices which have been adopted by the Company

with a view to conserving the environment.

Environmental

The Company has implemented several environmental policies to protect the

environment. We have been running and will continue to run our business in

a responsible manner and minimize environmental pollution. The Company

takes actions in daily operations to reduce environmental impact such as using

LED lamps, reminding staff of turning off lights and air-conditioning when

not in use or out of office, keeping air-conditioning at 25

C, posting internal

posters on saving water, donating old office furniture to Non-Governmental

Organizations (“NGOs”) rather than disposing them as waste and using e-forms

to reduce use of paper. Besides, the Company produces corporate stationeries,

reports and souvenirs made by environment-friendly materials, uses recycled

papers and toners, and also adopts green dish in Company Annual Dinner

to raise employees’ awareness of efficient use of resources and conservation

of the environment. The Company are willing to support or collaborate with

organizations which promote environmental protection. All these policies aim

at not only environmental protection but also cost-saving for the Company.

願披露本公司旨在保護環境而採取的環保政策及行動。

空調、將空調溫度保持於攝氏

將舊傢俬捐予非政府機構（「非政府機構」），而非作廢物丟
