Focus Areas
Energy usage
Energy usage
Implement systematic management on energy consumption in operational processes. Reduce energy waste and relevant emissions by improving energy efficiency, optimizing energy consumption structure and promoting energy-saving technologies, so as to support operational cost control and low-carbon transformation.
Environmental compliance management
Environmental compliance management
Establish and implement an effective environmental compliance management system to ensure full compliance with relevant environmental laws and regulations during construction and operations. Systematic environmental compliance management helps mitigate risks such as penalties and work stoppages resulting from violations, thereby safeguarding the company’s normal operations and reputation.
Management of water resources
Management of water resources
Systematically implement water resource management throughout the project’s operation and construction phases, specifically by conserving water, reducing waste, and improving water use efficiency, while effectively mitigating the risk of water pollution that may result from construction activities.
Waste disposal
Waste disposal
The systematic and compliant management of various types of waste generated during business operations (such as construction waste and household waste), including sorting, recycling, reduction, and resource recovery. Effective waste management helps minimize negative environmental impacts and control potential compliance risks and operational costs.
Pollutant discharge
Pollutant discharge
During project development and operations, the management of various pollutants—including noise, dust, and wastewater generated during construction and daily operations—is critical. Effective prevention and control measures not only help maintain the quality of life and environmental hygiene in surrounding communities but also reduce operational risks arising from disturbances to residents or regulatory violations.
Ecosystem and biodiversity protection
Ecosystem and biodiversity protection
Throughout the project development process, systematically minimize disruption and damage to the natural environment and biodiversity through preliminary environmental assessments, ecological restoration, and conservation measures, while actively promoting ecological recovery and harmonious coexistence with nature.
Climate change tackling
Climate change tackling
Actions taken to address climate change primarily include:
- Mitigation measures: such as using energy-efficient equipment and materials in projects to reduce energy consumption.
- Adaptation measures: such as incorporating climate resilience considerations during the design and construction phases to protect projects from damage and disruption caused by extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall and heat waves.
Circular economy
Circular economy
Actively promote a circular economy model in our business operations, including encouraging resource recycling, reducing the consumption of virgin materials, and increasing waste recovery and reuse rates, in order to systematically reduce our resource and environmental footprint across the entire lifecycle.

Natural Resources and Biodiversity Protection
Yuexiu Property actively implements the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework to assess risks and opportunities related to natural resources, enhancing the protection of natural resources, especially in the context of ecological and biodiversity protection during real estate development. Yuexiu Property continuously monitors the risks associated with the quantification of natural resource losses and effectively manages financial risks and opportunities related to natural resources.
In 2024, guided by the TNFD recommended framework, Yuexiu Property completed a biodiversity assessment across its entire value chain and in ten major project cities. At the value chain level, we systematically applied the LEAP methodology to analyse the natural dependencies and impacts of Yuexiu Property over short, medium, and long-term operational cycles. The Company assessed not only the direct ecological footprint of its business activities but also extended the analysis boundary to include the entire lifecycle of upstream and downstream processes. Through a multidimensional analysis, we established a monitoring system encompassing 22 themes of natural dependency and 11 themes of natural impact.
