WHAT does it mean to Swire?

HOW is it being implemented across the business?

WHY is it important to Swire?

WHY – WHAT - HOW

Sustainable development is synonymous with the underlying philosophy that has driven Swire

throughout the last 200 years – it is part of who we are and how we operate. We pride ourselves

on being forward looking, original, with a commitment to operational excellence. Sustainable

development is an opportunity for:

INNOVATION, GROWTH & EFFICIENCY

Sustainable development is the integration of considerations into all dimensions of business and

management practices in order to create long term value.

ECONOMIC, ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL

We manage SD under five pillars:

ENVIRONMENT; HEALTH & SAFETY; COMMUNITY

INVOLVEMENT; STAFF; WORKING WITH OTHERS

‘… if the environmentally “clean” way of doing

something is more expensive…, we should always, regardless

of mandatory legislation, have a close look at the overall

feasibility of adopting such a practice, both from the point of view of general public good and enlightened self interest’

‘As the Group journeys towards its third century,

however, new challenges will inevitably arise: alongside

an abiding focus on nurturing their own staff, on

practical innovation and of course on commercial

viability, our existing businesses must adapt to a world

in which, quite rightly, everything that they do will be

judged by its impact upon the environment and the

community. Such an atmosphere will lead to change.

Beyond such change, however, we are also committed

to invest in new industries which are themselves

part of the coming environmental revolution —

indeed, we have already taken our first few steps along

this path.’

Barnaby Swire, 2015

It’s part of who we are, and how we operate.

Swire's motto is "Esse Quam Videri" meaning "To be, rather than to seem to

be".
