HUTCHISON PORT HOLDINGS TRUST 42 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT CONTINGENCY PLANNING To ensure operational efficiency and minimise the impact of disruptions and crises, the Trust implements contingency plans and measures designed to facilitate rapid response and recovery for both the Trust and its employees. These plans are continuously reviewed and upgraded to manage existing and potential new risks in the medium- to long-term. In 2025, YANTIAN updated its Business Continuity Management (“BCM”) Handbook and both HIT and YANTIAN conducted annual companylevel BCM emergency drills to prepare for potential emergencies. Additionally, YANTIAN implemented a company-wide safety accident emergency response plan to ensure business continuity. These initiatives underscore the Trust’s commitment to enhancing its resilience and preparedness. By regularly updating and testing contingency plans, the Trust aims to mitigate the effects of disruptions and ensure smooth operations. This approach not only benefits the Trust but also supports the wellbeing of its employees and stakeholders. The Trust’s approach to climate-related emergencies, such as typhoons or flooding, is available on pages 47 to 49 of this Annual Report. CORPORATE GOVERNANCE A robust corporate governance framework is essential for promoting and safeguarding the interests of unitholders and other stakeholders. The Trust is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance by consistently implementing best practices. It enforces stringent controls and practices that prioritise effective risk management, transparency and accountability. Each year, the Trust reviews new or emerging regulations to ensure ongoing or future compliance. Looking ahead, the Trust aims to maintain compliance as prescribed by the SGX-ST Listing Manual and the BTA (as amended by the Business Trusts (Amendment) Act 2022) and its regulations. This target also applies to both the medium- and long-term. A full review of HPH Trust’s corporate governance is available in the Corporate Governance Report on pages 94 to 123 of this Annual Report. COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT With the aim of spreading positive impacts on local communities and the environment, the Trust continues to promote the spirit of giving through both monetary and in-kind donations, as well as by encouraging employee volunteerism. In 2025, both HIT and YANTIAN offered employees the opportunities to participate in various community initiatives with non-profit organisations. The Trust hosted a range of creative programmes and festive celebrations for the elderly to help combat social isolation and loneliness, while enhancing their overall wellbeing. In support of youth education, the Trust continues to support academic excellence through various channels, including sponsoring educational programmes, awarding scholarships and donating daily necessities. Volunteers from HIT and COSCO-HIT joined community members at Yan Chai Hospital Fong Yock Yee Neighbourhood Elderly Centre to celebrate Lunar New Year, writing spring couplets and singing festive songs. This summer, 10 local students were offered placement opportunities to gain first-hand experience across various HIT functions. Volunteers from YANTIAN celebrated Lunar New Year with elders at the Hong Kong Jockey Club Shenzhen Society for Rehabilitation Yee Hong Heights in the Yantian District, sharing traditional tales and spreading festive cheers. YANTIAN donated necessities to, and organised social activities for, Yunnan Hope Primary School for the 22nd consecutive year.
