On September 14, 2026, the Sixth State-Owned Enterprises Social Value Forum was successfully held in Guangzhou. The forum was organized by the Responsibility Cloud Research Institute, co-hosted by the Guangdong Provincial State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC), and supported by the China Enterprise Reform and Development Research Association as well as SASACs from various cities in the Greater Bay Area. Representatives from the Social Responsibility Bureau of the SASAC of the State Council, provincial and municipal SASACs, central state-owned enterprises based in Guangdong, Guangdong provincial state-owned enterprises, state-owned enterprises from various cities in the Greater Bay Area, state-controlled listed companies, and mainstream media outlets such as China Central Television (CCTV) gathered at the event to jointly explore the path of social responsibility and ESG-driven sustainable development for state-owned assets and enterprises in the new era.

At the forum, two authoritative reports—the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area State-Owned Enterprises Social Value Blue Book (2026) and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area State-Owned Enterprises-Controlled Listed Companies Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Blue Book (2026)—were officially released. At the same time, the Greater Bay Area State-Owned Enterprises Social Value Management Pioneer 30 Index, the Greater Bay Area SOE ESG Development Index list, and outstanding ESG practice case studies were also unveiled, and exemplary enterprises were publicly recognized.

During this event, Yuexiu Property (00123.HK) was successfully included in the Greater Bay Area State-Owned Enterprise ESG Development Index, ranking 11th, The company’s case study Green and Low-Carbon Initiatives Empowering High-Quality Development: A Dual-Drive Approach Combining Quality Product Development and Carbon Trading Innovation was recognized as an outstanding ESG practice case among state-owned enterprise-controlled listed companies in the Greater Bay Area and was officially included in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area State-Owned Enterprise-Controlled Listed Companies Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Blue Book (2026). This marks yet another significant achievement in the company’s commitment to fulfilling its responsibilities as a state-owned real estate enterprise and its deep dedication to sustainable development.

Leaders from the Social Responsibility Bureau of the SASAC of the State Council and the Guangdong Provincial SASAC noted in their forum addresses that fulfilling social responsibilities is an inherent political mission of state‑owned enterprises. China’s ESG development has entered a new phase featuring compliance‑driven guidance, value‑empowerment and cross‑domain coordination. State‑owned enterprises in the Guangdong‑Hong Kong‑Macao Greater Bay Area should integrate corporate development into the overall regional strategic landscape, embed ESG concepts throughout the whole process of reform, development and business operations. They need to take the initiative to assume responsibilities in green transition, scientific and technological innovation, people’s livelihood security and industrial empowerment, advance the coordinated growth of business, social and ecological values, and contribute state‑owned‑enterprise strength to advancing Chinese‑style modernization through solid work.

For Yuexiu Property, ESG development is not merely a matter of internal corporate governance; it is also the historical responsibility of a state-owned real estate enterprise to respond to national strategies and contribute to the development of the Greater Bay Area. The company has consistently aligned its corporate development with the broader national development framework, closely adhering to national policies on “dual carbon” goals, livelihood security, and urban renewal. Rooted in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area—its primary operational arena—the company prioritizes ecological conservation, livelihood security, and industrial empowerment as the core pillars of its ESG initiatives, tangibly fulfilling the social responsibilities of a state-owned enterprise across business operations such as district development, residential product design, and green technology innovation.

Rooted in the present, looking toward the future. Yuexiu Property will continue to play a leading and exemplary role as a state-owned, publicly listed real estate developer. With a broad perspective on national strategic priorities and a firm foundation in the Greater Bay Area, the Company will continuously refine and improve its ESG practices to align with national policies and reflect regional characteristics. Through comprehensive district development, improvements in residential product quality, and innovations in carbon management models, the Company will establish synergies among green technology, green finance, and urban operations. Yuexiu Property will continue to maximize its combined operational, ecological, and social value, contribute to the realization of the nation’s “Dual Carbon” goals, and consistently inject Yuexiu’s momentum into the sustainable and high-quality development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
