Sustainability
At the Housing Society, sustainability initiatives for various business operations have been well in place for years, while a cross-divisional Sustainability Working Group was established in 2022 under the leadership of Directors Meeting to plan, coordinate and oversee related work.
In response to the global sustainability movement, the Housing Society fully supports the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”), a universal blueprint for people and the planet’s continuous peace and prosperity. While the SDGs and associated targets are set out on a national scale, we have identified six SDGs that the Housing Society can contribute when solving environmental and societal issues. The alignment of our aspirations with SDGs guides us in incorporating sustainability into the planning and operation of our core businesses and daily operations, thereby creating long-term value as a responsible global citizen.
