3 Sustainability Report 2015
This is HKEI’s third sustainability report, examining our
approach to sustainability, endeavours and performance
in 2015, as well as our plans for the future. In the report,
we set out our overall challenges and strategies, before
detailing the various initiatives underway in the key areas
of sustainable operations, health and safety, customer care,
community involvement, employee care and shareholder
accountability. The Board of Directors has delegated the
CEO to oversee the preparation of this report.
In order to address the specific concerns of our stakeholders,
we have sought their views before compiling this report.
More information about this engagement exercise can be
found under the Engaging with Stakeholders heading in
the Challenges and Strategies chapter.
To ensure objectiveness and completeness, we have
followed Global Reporting Initiative’s (“GRI”) G4
Sustainability Reporting Guidelines and the associated
Electric Utilities Sector Disclosures, as well as The Stock
Exchange of Hong Kong Limited’s (“SEHK”) Environmental,
Social and Governance (“ESG”) Reporting Guide. This
report fulfills the “Core Option”, as outlined in GRI’s G4
Sustainability Reporting Guidelines, and also addresses
a significant number of material disclosures required under
the “Comprehensive Option”.
This report is designed to be read in conjunction with
our other key reporting channels; in particular, details of
our policies and routine initiatives can be found on our
website, while more information about our governance
practices and financial performance are given in our
Annual Report. The online and

references for readers.
Data collection and analysis were conducted based on
relevant guidelines or standards, such as ISO 14064 for
greenhouse gas emissions. All numerical data is presented
as absolute figures, and all financial data is in Hong Kong
dollars unless otherwise specified. Employees of contractors
and subcontractors for whom we have no direct
responsibility are not included as part of our workforce.
Throughout this report, “shareholder” means the holder
of HKEI’s Share Stapled Units.
