Environmental, Social and Governance

The Group integrates climate-related risks and opportunities into its strategic planning and decision-making processes by embedding low-carbon and resilience principles into project development and operational activities. This includes implementing foundational energy-saving measures to capture emerging market opportunities.

Existing internal resources, including dedicated operational teams and budget allocations for efficiency improvements, are deemed adequate to implement the climate mitigation and adaptation measures outlined above. The Group intends to build on these foundations by developing scenario analysis in the near term, which will inform the potential evolution of its business model and resource allocation to address climate-related risks and opportunities more comprehensively.

Climate-related risks and opportunities are addressed as part of our integrated risk management approach, which aims to ensure key climate-related matters are identified, assessed, prioritised, managed and monitored. During the financial year, the Group conducted a materiality assessment of climate-related risks and opportunities covering our operations in both Hong Kong and Chinese Mainland.

To prioritise climate-related matters, the Group conducted a climate risk and opportunity survey where cross- functional respondents selected the four most significant risks and opportunities that could influence the Group’s development. The four most frequently selected items were designated as material priorities and incorporated into our broader operational risk category to ensure they receive appropriate attention alongside other core business risks.

The Group monitors climate-related risks and opportunities through its existing risk and opportunity management processes, with periodic reviews to assess the effectiveness of these management measures. Updates were made to the Group’s climate-related risk and opportunity management approach as necessary to align with evolving business needs and industry best practices, and review findings are regularly reported to senior management to ensure ongoing oversight and the embedding of climate considerations into strategic planning and day-to-day operational oversight.

Under the leadership of senior management, the Group is enhancing its climate risk management by integrating scenario analysis into future assessments of climate-related risk and opportunities and formalising its risk management processes in upcoming reporting periods.

The Group´s Environmental Policy emphasises sustainable management of both hazardous and non- hazardous waste, with a strong focus on minimisation, recycling, and reuse to reduce environmental impact. Within the building construction materials sector, relevant waste management practices are implemented under the ISO 14001 environmental management system.

Recyclable materials are reused internally wherever possible, and non-recyclable waste is handled through licensed contractors or approved waste management systems. The Group remains dedicated to continuous improvement in environmental performance, full regulatory compliance, and the adoption of green manufacturing principles to minimise the ecological footprint of its operations.

Water is a vital resource for our operations, communities, and environment. The Group is dedicated to developing and managing buildings that maximise water efficiency and conservation. Also, the Group is committed to responsible water management practices, ensuring that water resources are used sustainably across all business activities.

The Group has established comprehensive policies and guidelines to ensure that wastewater generated from our offices, properties, and sites fully complies with all applicable regulatory and licensing requirements. Regular monitoring of wastewater discharge processes is conducted to prevent contamination and to uphold high environmental protection standards.

The Group is committed to conducting its business in accordance with the principles of sustainable growth, with a strong focus on minimising its GHG emissions. Efforts to monitor, stabilise, and reduce carbon emissions are central to enhancing operational efficiency and environmental performance. Carbon emissions are tracked monthly, enabling the timely implementation of corrective measures to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and to maintain the Group´s annual emissions at the lowest feasible level.

We are dedicated to promoting the well-being of our employees by ensuring a safe, healthy, and supportive workplace environment. We recognise that our people are crucial to the Company’s continued growth and success, and we place great importance on maintaining harmonious labour relations. The Group strictly complies with all applicable labour laws and regulations governing areas such as recruitment and promotion, compensation and termination, working hours, rest periods, equal opportunity, diversity, and the prevention of discrimination.

The Group is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace that upholds equality and is free from any form of discrimination. We actively promote equal opportunities for all employees and remain focused on enhancing workforce diversity, particularly by increasing female representation in leadership positions and other roles that have historically been male dominated.

Human capital is the cornerstone of sustainable growth and long-term success. Given the nature of our operations, employee health and workplace safety are considered as material issues. We strive to maintain a high standard of occupational health and safety performance by fostering a strong safety culture and ensuring that all employees work in safe and healthy environments. We comply with the Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance and are committed to upholding the highest standards of workplace health and safety. We ensure that these commitments are effectively communicated and embedded across all levels of the organisation to promote a strong culture of safety awareness among employees.

We empower the professional growth and career advancement of our employees. We promote continuous learning through various training programmes designed to strengthen both job-specific competencies and workplace skills. These programmes include educational seminars, workshops, and courses covering diverse professional topics. In addition, the Group provides induction training for new hires and ongoing internal development opportunities for employees at all levels, equipping them to adapt effectively to an evolving business environment through lifelong learning.

Our Golik Volunteer Team continued to uphold its strong commitment to community service in Hong Kong. Throughout the year, we took part in various community-focused programmes organised by the Construction Industry Council (CIC), promoting positivity and social engagement through meaningful participation. Most of these initiatives were executed effectively, reflecting the team’s dedication and professionalism. With an expanding pool of volunteers, the Group continues to identify new opportunities for community involvement, reinforcing its dedication to building closer connections with society and supporting those in need.

The Group is committed to contributing to the community and recognises the importance of our employees’ involvement in social initiatives. During the year, we took part in the International White Cane Day Cane-A-Thon charity walk organised by the Hong Kong Blind Union. Through this participation, we sought to support visually impaired individuals in integrating into the wider community and to enhance public awareness of their capabilities and specific needs.

This year, we participated in Construction Industry Volunteer Award Scheme 2025 and achieved the Special Commendation for First-Time Participating Organisations and Excellence in Construction Industry Volunteering Individuals (Gold Award).

We are devoted to supporting the education and well-being of underprivileged secondary school students in Tianjin, Chinese Mainland through donation. Building on this long-term initiative, an agreement has been signed to extend the programme for an additional five years, reaffirming our dedication to empowering young learners with the resources they need to thrive. Through continuous support, the Company seeks to create meaningful and lasting change by enhancing educational opportunities and enabling students to realise their full potential.

In July 2025, Golik Holdings sponsored the “New Era Hong Kong-Tianjin Youth Exchange Program 2025,” a student exchange initiative between Hong Kong and Tianjin. The programme involved Hong Kong and Kowloon Kaifong Women’s Association Sun Fong Chung College in Hong Kong and Tianjin Jinghai No. 1 High School in Tianjin. Golik Holdings values the importance of student exchange programmes and will continue to devote more efforts and resources to supporting such initiatives, not only to assist underprivileged students, but also to encourage exchange and mutual learning between Hong Kong students and students from Chinese Mainland. We believe students are the future foundation of our community and society, and we will remain committed to nurturing their growth through meaningful educational and cultural exchange programmes.

Beyond immediate assistance, the programme also facilitates access to higher education, helping students gain admission to leading universities and pursue a brighter future. By supporting the next generation, the Company reinforces its commitment to advancing educational equity and contributing to sustainable social progress, in line with broader corporate social responsibility goals that promote long-term community development and societal well-being.

The Group remains dedicated to maintaining high standards of integrity, honesty, and transparency in all business operations. We continue to manage and strengthen our supply chain responsibly, placing emphasis on selecting suppliers that prioritise environmental protection and ethical conduct.

For each business segment, a comprehensive checklist is used to assess supplier suitability. In addition, the Group conducts annual evaluations of key suppliers and sub-contractors, focusing on quality management, environmental performance, and occupational safety. Approval of suppliers and sub-contractors involved in core processes is handled by senior management, and their performance is regularly monitored with feedback collected from employees.

The Group also recognises the importance of addressing environmental and social issues throughout the supply chain.

The employee handbook outlines clear confidentiality obligations, ensuring employees properly safeguard company trade secrets and sensitive information. The Group collects and uses customer data responsibly and only for purposes stated in client contracts.

The Group upholds the principle of conducting all business activities in a lawful, ethical, and professional manner, maintaining a strong commitment to preventing corruption and bribery across every aspect of our operations. We adopt a zero-tolerance stance toward any form of unethical conduct, including bribery, extortion, fraud, and money laundering. All directors and employees are strictly prohibited from soliciting, accepting, or offering bribes and are required to comply fully with the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance of Hong Kong.

To strengthen integrity and compliance, the Group provides regular training on anti-corruption practices and internal controls to enhance employees’ awareness and understanding. A whistle-blowing policy has also been established, empowering employees to confidentially report any suspected misconduct or malpractice. The Audit Committee oversees this mechanism and is authorized to conduct independent investigations into reported incidents to ensure appropriate follow-up actions are taken.
