Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited (SHKP) puts its Building Homes with Heart philosophy into practice by producing the finest world-class developments.  It has been named the Best Managed Company in Asia for a fourth straight year and Best Overall Developer in Hong Kong for the ninth year running by international financial magazine, Euromoney.  The accolades are proof of the high reputation SHKP has earned over the years for outstanding corporate governance, management, brand and quality.

SHKP was praised for its effective investor communications, clear strategy and vision, prudent financial management, high transparency and corporate governance.

SHKP Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer Patrick KW Chan said: "The awards recognize our efforts over the years.  We believe that conducting business in a transparent and responsible manner and adhering to good corporate governance practices can enhance returns for the Group and shareholders.  Some credit rating agencies recently raised the outlook on SHKP, reflecting the Group's solid foundations and consistently-strong business performance.  We have a seasoned management team and will continue to enhance our products and service and maintain high standards of corporate governance to achieve the best long-term returns for the company and shareholders and stay at the forefront of the market."
