Sustainable & Efficient OperationsPILLAR 2: PROPERTY PORTFOLIOESR Group LimitedEnvironmental, Social and Governance Report 202448In 2024, ESR China expanded its commitment to sustainability by installing 522 electric vehicle (%u201cEV%u201d) charging stations across 41 parks nationwide, up from 300 in 2023. A key feature of these stations is their integration with solar panels, which power the charging process with renewable energy, reducing reliance on traditional power systems and minimising carbon emissions.By equipping most of the charging stations with solar panels, we significantly enhance the use of green energy, contributing to lower carbon emissions from transportation. EVs, which generate fewer emissions than traditional vehicles, benefit further from this renewable energy infrastructure, helping to reduce pollution in and around our parks.This initiative not only provides convenient charging services, but also encourages the adoption of electric vehicles among employees, customers and partners. By reducing reliance on fossil fuels, we are advancing our commitment to promoting sustainable, low-carbon transportation. Looking ahead, we will continue expanding our renewable energypowered EV charging infrastructure, further supporting green transportation and reducing our environmental footprint. This initiative underscores our dedication to sustainability and renewable energy, paving the way for a greener future.CASE STUDYESR China: Promoting Green Transportation with Renewable Energy-Powered EV Charging Stations
