Reduction Emission of Greenhouse Gases (“GHG”) Reduction of Business Trip The Group understands that business trips increase energy consumption and lead to an increase in GHG emissions. The group uses other effective means of communication to reduce GHG emissions that arise from additional traffic, including using phone and/ or video conferencing, and encouraging employees to use public transport. During the reporting period, the number of business trips was increased as the Group had located a site in Southeast Asia for pulp production to solve the problem of raw materials shortage. Procurement from Local Suppliers Under the same business conditions (e.g. cost, quality, technology and services, environmental and other factors), the Group would give priority to local suppliers to reduce delivery distance and its resulting carbon emissions.

The Hong Kong office has been equipped with air freshening machine and ventilation system to improve air quality.
