Swire Properties’ Supplier Code of Conduct sets out the minimum standards and practices for our suppliers relating to legal and regulatory compliance, environmental protection, health and safety, labour practices, and other areas. This policy extends to subcontractors working on projects for Swire Properties.
We encourage our suppliers to have their own supplier codes of conduct in place, and we require that all suppliers adopt and implement policies and procedures that prevent bribery, corruption and fraud in their own operations. Swire Properties has a strong preference for suppliers whose goods and services can contribute to reducing our own climate and environmental impacts. Suppliers that fail to comply fully with our SCoC risk termination of their contracts, are subject to the contractual terms therein, and removal from our approved contractors list.

Supplier Monitoring and Engagement
We aim to build long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with our business partners. We believe that better sustainability performance can enhance the overall resilience of our value chain, while helping supply chain partners mitigate ESG-related risks, operate at greater resource efficiency, enhance their reputation, and capture new business opportunities. To advance these ideas, this year we became the first real estate company in the region to launch a supply chain sustainability engagement programme through EcoVadis’ ESG assessment platform.

Sustainable Procurement
Beginning in 2020, Swire Properties expanded our green procurement process to include sustainability-related products and services, including expenditures on promoting safety, health and wellbeing in our properties and new developments. We were also the first real estate developer in Hong Kong to introduce low-carbon specifications for new developments, detailing such specifications for concrete, rebar and structural steel. These specifications have now been adopted into the main contract for new developments in Hong Kong.
