About WHARF HOLDINGS Company

Wharf Group Limited (“Wharf”, stock code: 4) was founded in 1886. It is the 17th registered company in Hong Kong and is currently the 7th oldest company in Hong Kong. When Hang Seng Index was established in the 1960s, Kowloon Tong was included in the first batch of 30 companies. The Group has always adhered to the concept of “creating tomorrow”. With excellent management and execution capabilities, the Group's business covers investment properties, development properties and hotels in Hong Kong and mainland China. Other businesses include modern cargo terminals operating logistics infrastructure and the Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminal. The Group's luxury hilltop property portfolio in Hong Kong consists of rare and unique projects, and continues to cater to the needs of tasteful and valued customers with top quality and craftsmanship. By the end of 2014, the Group's land reserves in Hong Kong were about 2.8 million square feet, of which about 550 thousand square feet were perched at the top of the mountain. In terms of mainland investment properties, the Group's series of international financial centers are located in the core area of the local central business district. With its superior location, careful planning and design, excellent retail management, and the clustering effect of attracting retailers and customers, the Chengdu International Financial Center and the Changsha International Finance Center have now become major local trendy landmarks. Until the end of 2014, the Group's unsold land reserves for mainland development properties were 1.2 million square meters. Due to oversupply in the market, unsold inventory is mainly commercial properties. The Wharf Hotel operates 16 hotels in Hong Kong, mainland China, and the Philippines under the three brands Negro, Marco Polo, and Marco. Of these, 4 are wholly owned by the Group, and the other has 50% interest. In June 2014, the Changsha IFC welcomed a third hotel owned by the Group and operated under the “Park Hyatt” brand. The Group owns and operates modern cargo terminals. The company is an operator of cargo terminals in Hong Kong and Shenzhen, and is also one of the founders of the Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminal. Both are important industries that have maintained Hong Kong's position as an international trade and transportation hub over the past few decades. The concept of “creating tomorrow” in Jiulongchang also extends to the aspect of “encouraging society and enterprise together”. In addition to the “School Startup” program, a flagship project to optimize schools, which continues to grow, the Group also supports a series of public welfare projects to promote the concept of “community and enterprise mutual encouragement”, benefiting people from different walks of life in China and Hong Kong. The Group has always strived to incorporate sustainable development practices into its business to build a more sustainable future. The Group is well aware of the impact of climate change and is committed to achieving the goals of minimising carbon emissions and exploring energy efficiency and renewable energy in operations by 2030. The Group has committed to setting science-based carbon reduction targets and has submitted recent targets to the Science-based Reduction Targets Initiative (“SBTi”) for verification.
