Annual Report 2025

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT (CONTINUED) 96 China Merchants China Direct Investments Limited Annual Report 2025 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION (CONTINUED) Climate-related Disclosure (continued) Green Office and Operation (continued) Non-hazardous office waste Total consumption in 2025 (kg) Consumption intensity in 2025 (kg/total number of employees) Total consumption in 2024 (kg) Consumption intensity in 2024 (kg/total number of employees) Waste disposed and recycled (Note 1) 267.00 14.83 363.50 18.18 Note 1: The reported amount includes the amount of paper recycled chiefly used for printing annual and interim reports. The paper purchased was primarily used for printing internal reports. In 2024, the increased frequency of special meetings, including two extraordinary meetings, led to a temporary rise in paper usage. By 2025, paper usage had returned to its usual pattern, and the amount of paper recycled correspondingly followed the same trend. Waste generated by the Company and the Investment Manager are collected by waste management service provided by the building service providers, which are then processed at their discretion. Although the amount of waste that the Company and the Investment Manager produce each year is little, we strongly believe that it is still important to promote the concept of practicing zero waste at the offices, as no resources should be wasted. Energy Consumption The Company is committed to conserving the scarce resources. In order to improve energy efficiency and reduce the office energy consumption, a series of practices have been adopted by the Investment Manager. It is also the Investment Manager’s goal to help employees develop a better green mind-set by integrating energy saving behaviours into the daily habits of employees in and out of the office. We hope that with the above-mentioned practices, the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions would be kept at minimal. As the electricity usage is included in the building management fee and as the Company and the Investment Manager have no separate electricity metre, there was no electricity acquisition or consumption during the Reporting Period.
