Everbright Environment has long been adhering to its corporate pursuit of “Creating Investment Value and Undertaking Social Responsibility” and striving to fulfill responsibility as a corporate citizen. Focusing on areas like community engagement, poverty alleviation and climate action, the company continues organising community-oriented activities and pays active attention to needs of various social groups, to build long-term, friendly and close relationship with local communities. The company is dedicated to returning to the society and facilitate the comprehensive development of local communities while running its business.

While ensuring safe and stable operations and compliant emissions of the projects, Everbright Environment proactively integrates into the projects’ neighboring communities, by giving priority to local residents when the projects provide employment opportunities, to improve the environment and facilitate industrial upgrading locally and in the surrounding areas. For example, through the integrated biomass utilisation projects, the company has successfully established and improved the fuel collection and storage system, formulating the strategy of “increasing income for farmers, facilitating corporate development and gaining mutual benefit for multiple parties”, and improving the local rural economy directly and indirectly and reducing the population in poverty. The local governments arranged underprivileged households to collect and sell biomass materials to the company’s operating projects as a way to provide extra income to the needy while at the same time helping to address the local waste treatment problems. The collaboration model has broken new ground to create a situation that benefits the environment, society and economy.

In terms of public opening and environmental protection education, Everbright Environment leverages on its environmental protection projects that are located in various places to organise environmental protection education activities of various types. Acting as environmental protection education hubs and science popularisation and education centers, these projects help to enhance the public’s understanding of and recognition to sustainability and green lifestyle. By now, the company has more than 220 projects that have opened up to the public, with visitors from primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities, peers at home and abroad, environmental protection organisations, and public groups. In 2025, Everbright Environment launched the “Green Wings Program”, a public welfare campaign for environmental education. Supported by the Environment and Ecology Bureau of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the PRC , this program leverages its professional expertise in environmental protection. Through activities such as environmental lectures, workshops, project visits, and student internships, the program aims to inspire enthusiasm and a sense of responsibility for environmental protection among Hong Kong’s youth and the general public, fostering consensus on green and low-carbon development. In addition, Everbright Environment successfully hosted the Everbright Environment ESG Sustainable Development Forum 2025 in Hong Kong and launched the Everbright Environment ESG White Paper at the forum venue. The event brought together professionals from various sectors for in-depth discussions on green transition pathways and synergistic innovation mechanisms in the GuangdongHong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. In Chinese Mainland, it continued to organise a variety of environmental science education and public welfare activities through its local projects. Centred around environmental theme days such as World Environment Day, it launched a series of community focused science education activities, deeply integrating into local communities and serving as a vivid example of fostering shared interests across the government, businesses and the public.
