China Overseas Land and Investment (COLI), headquartered in Hong Kong, China, is a publicly listed company with a minority stake held by the state. The company focuses on property investment and development of commercial, residential and mixed-use properties in China and internationally. COLI is listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange. In 2023, it had total assets worth USD 131 billion in over 80 cities in mainland China.
Summary
COLI discloses information on some topics related to urban sustainability but lacks disclosure on many important topics. The company demonstrates its commitment to heritage preservation by pledging to carry out construction projects only outside World Heritage areas and International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Category I-IV protected areas. Additionally, the company provides transparency on its affordability efforts by disclosing the area of affordable housing it completed in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
However, there are several areas in which COLI can strengthen its performance. The company should publish a publicly accessible human rights policy statement, approved by its highest governance body, detailing how this commitment will be enforced. Additionally, it should actively engage external stakeholders in identifying its material impacts to leverage their insights and enhance transparency and reliability.
From a social sustainability perspective, the company can bolster its role in fostering inclusive cities by setting and disclosing specific, time-bound targets for affordable housing and accessibility in its projects. The company should also set decarbonisation targets validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for its most material emissions. Moreover, the company should implement systematic measures to effectively achieve these targets, such as enhancing energy efficiency and expanding the use of renewable energy.
