ABOUT THIS REPORT Scope of ReportHenderson Land Development Company Limited ("Henderson Land" or "the Group") is pleased to present our third standalone annual Sustainability and CSR Report ("the Report").
Alongside the 2016 Annual Report highlighting our financial performance, the Report provides an overview of our sustainability initiatives and investments. Addressing stakeholders' interests in our environmental, social and economic impacts, the Report also presents our historic performance and future targets.
Henderson Land's sustainability activities were first documented in the Group's 2006 Annual Report. Since then, the Group has remained resolute in communicating our approach to sustainability with transparency and integrity. We also recognise how invaluable the Report is as an internal benchmark for measuring our continuous progress.
The Report provides an overview of the Group's policy and performance during the calendar year ended 31 December 2016. It lays out the sustainability
performance of Henderson Land's head office in Hong Kong and wholly-owned property management subsidiaries G o o d w i l l M a n a g e m e n t L i m i t e d ("Goodwill"), Well Born Real Estate Management Limited ("Well Born") and Hang Yick Properties Management Limited ("Hang Yick"), and our wholly- owned construction subsidiary E Man Construction Company Limited ("E Man").
The Report covers the Group's Hong Kong operations which comprise a substantial proportion of our business, and our property management and construction subsidiaries which also have considerable impact on our environmental and social performance. The scope of the Report does not encompass companies in which Henderson Land does not have a controlling interest.
How We ReportIn accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative's G4 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines ("the G4 Guidelines") and the Construction and Real Estate Sector Supplement, the Report adopts the "Core" framework of the G4 Guidelines. This is also supplemented by references
to the Environmental, Social and Governance Reporting Guide ("the ESG Reporting Guide") set out in Appendix 27 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("HKEX"). The Report preparation involved an independently managed stakeholder engagement and materiality assessment exercise.
An electronic version of the Report is accessible via our website http://www.hld.com/en/csr/sustainability.shtml. Please feel free to contact us at corpcomm@hld.com, regarding any enquiries and opinions about the Group's sustainability issues.
Stakeholder EngagementThe Report has been r ealised through engagements with our valued stakeholder groups. Feedback and input from our shareholders, customers, employees, suppliers and the community are collected through regular communication channels, which have provided effective platforms for Henderson Land to identify solutions, gaps and opportunities for improvement.

Material Aspects and Boundary SettingThe G4 Guidelines articulate a range of Material Aspects for the reporting organisation to disclose its impacts on the environment, society and economy. The Material Aspects pertinent to the
organisation are dependent on the nature of its operations and stakeholders' interests. The Group sought the professional advice of an independent sustainability consultant to conduct the materiality assessment through desk- based research, media scans, peer benchmarking, stakeholder consultations and internal discussions.
In 2016, we conducted an anonymous online employee survey, encouraging staff to provide candid comments and feedback on the Group's CSR performance, which also served as an important internal employee engagement channel within the Group.
