On April 13, 2026, S&P Global officially released the new edition of the Sustainability Yearbook China 2026 (hereinafter referred to as the "Yearbook"), marking the fourth consecutive year of its release for Chinese enterprises. The selection covered nearly 1,800 enterprises that participated in the 2025 Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) and qualified for inclusion, among which only over 190 enterprises were ultimately selected. This fully reflects the stringent criteria and continuously rising entry thresholds of the CSA assessment framework. Compared with previous years, robust sustainability execution capabilities, credible and transparent information disclosure, and year-on-year improved performance have become key factors for enterprises to stand out.
Within the real estate development and management sector, merely 12 enterprises made the list. Recognized for its solid practices in ESG governance, green building, low-carbon operation and sustainable finance, Yuexiu Property was selected for the Yearbook for the first time. This achievement not only acknowledges the Company’s sustainability performance by an authoritative international institution, but also galvanizes Yuexiu Property to further deepen sustainable development and build industry-leading capabilities.
Practicing the Dual Carbon Strategy, Yuexiu Property Accelerates the Development of a Full-value-chain Low-carbon Operation System
As the national Dual Carbon strategy advances steadily, green and low-carbon development has become a core competitiveness for the high-quality development of real estate enterprises. In 2025, Yuexiu Property fully initiated the sorting of Scope 3 greenhouse gas emission inventories, and will disclose emission data across six major categories in accordance with the GHG Protocol in the upcoming Yuexiu Property 2025 Sustainability Report, accelerating the establishment of a full-value-chain carbon emission management system. As a key initiative to actively align with national Dual Carbon goals and sustainable development strategies, this effort provides a data-driven foundation for evidence-based devarbonization strategies and comprehensive value-chain emission reduction management.
Anchoring High-quality Development, Yuexiu Property Implements Double Materiality-based ESG Assessment
ESG governance has become a core indicator measuring an enterprise’s comprehensive strength and high-quality development. In 2025, for the first time, Yuexiu Property adopted the double materiality principle to conduct systematic review and quantitative analysis on 20 ESG material topics. From the dual dimensions of impact materiality and financial materiality, the Company comprehensively identified potential risks and development opportunities throughout its operations. The targeted assessment has filled internal management gaps, driving the in-depth transformation of the Company’s ESG management from compliance-oriented supervision to value-empowered development. By improving long-term governance mechanisms, optimizing the governance structure, strengthening strategy implementation and standardizing information disclosure, Yuexiu Property has built a solid foundation for sustainable and high-quality growth.
Focusing on Natural Capital Management, Yuexiu Property Advances Full-process TNFD Implementation
Against the global trend of standardized nature-related financial information disclosure, Yuexiu Property upholds a long-term development philosophy and fully benchmarks the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) framework. The Company systematically adopts the LEAP approach (Locate, Evaluate, Assess, and Prepare). Having completed the foundational phases of Locate and Evaluate in 2024, Yuexiu Property further advanced the core phases of Assess and Prepare in 2025, achieving comprehensive review and standardized disclosure of nature-related information for key assets and thereby establishing a Nature-Positive management strategy. This fully demonstrates the Company’s forward-looking layout and professional governance capabilities in natural capital management, representing a breakthrough in the quality of its ESG practices and information disclosure.
Being named in the Sustainability Yearbook China 2026 by S&P Global is a high recognition of Yuexiu Property’s sustainability practices by authoritative institutions, as well as a new starting point for the Company to pursue green low-carbon development and fulfill social responsibilities. Moving forward, Yuexiu Property will take this honor as an opportunity to further advance the implementation of its sustainable development strategy. The Company will consolidate its development foundation through green and low-carbon transition, demonstrate state-owned enterprise responsibility via proactive social commitment, and enhance long-term corporate resilience through robust governance. It will continuously optimize the ESG management system and elevate the overall effectiveness of sustainability practices.
In the future, Yuexiu Property will collaborate with employees, customers, partners and all stakeholders to create synergies and co-create sustainable value across the industrial chain. The Company will support the green low-carbon transformation and high-quality upgrading of the real estate industry, and continue to contribute Yuexiu’s strengths to sustainable development in China and across the globe.
