Champion REIT Awarded Hang Seng ESG 'AA+' Top-Tier Rating and Included in Benchmark Index



HONG KONG, Sep 16, 2025 - (ACN Newswire) Champion Real Estate Investment Trust (“Champion REIT” or the “Trust”) (Stock Code: 2778) is pleased to announce its inclusion in the Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Benchmark Index (“HSSUSB”) and has received an “AA+” rating in Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) – the second-highest accolade in the assessment framework. The Trust ranked in the top 10% among over 500 assessed Hong Kong-listed companies, which demonstrates its outstanding performance and steadfast commitment to sustainability.

Innovative Breakthroughs across Three ESG Pillars

  • Social Innovation: The Trust has redefined sustainability in the real estate sector, transforming from a traditional asset manager into a “Super Connector”. Over the past three years, we engaged over 50,000 tenants and partners through major ESG initiatives. Our innovative “Bridging Social Enterprises for Collective Impact” programme fostered cross-sector collaboration, generating an estimated HK$8.6 in social value for every Hong Kong dollar invested, reflecting our strong commitment to social innovation.

  • Environmental Management: The Trust is advancing sustainability by integrating smart technologies into property operations. Notably, the AI-driven Chiller Optimisation System at Three Garden Road has achieved approximately 6.1% annual energy savings. Additionally, the expanded EcoChampion Pledge Programme has successfully engaged tenants in green transformation, delivering remarkable results in energy savings, waste reduction, and green procurement.

  • Excellent Governance: The Trust upholds integrity as a foundational principle of its operations. It embeds ESG strategy oversight at the Board-level, integrates climate risks into its Corporate Risk Register, and enforces rigorous anti-corruption policies. These efforts reaffirm the Trust’s unwavering commitment to transparency, ethical business conduct, and long-term sustainable development.

Ms. Christina Hau, Chief Executive Officer of Champion REIT, said, “We are profoundly honoured to receive an AA+ ESG rating and to be included in the Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Benchmark Index. This recognition is a powerful affirmation of our strategy to unite tenants and stakeholders in creating meaningful, sustainable impact and provides us with renewed momentum to continue this journey. In our role as a ‘Super Value-Adder’, we are more committed than ever to fostering innovation and collaboration, delivering long-term value for our stakeholders, and pioneering a greener, more inclusive future for the industry.”
