Sa Sa International released its FY 2025/26 Environmental, Social and Governance Report covering Hong Kong and Macao operations that generate about 80% of group turnover (reporting period: 1 April 2025 – 31 March 2026).
Environmental Performance • Combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse-gas emissions fell to 5,226 tCO₂e, while emissions intensity dropped 22.80% year-on-year to 1.50 tCO₂e per HK$1 million turnover. The group has now achieved a 70% reduction against the 2014/15 baseline. • Total energy use was broadly stable at 11,942 MWh, yet energy intensity improved to 3.4 MWh per HK$1 million turnover. • Water-use intensity fell 12.54% to 3.42 m³ per HK$1 million turnover after roll-out of flow controllers and nano-filtration dispensers. • Waste sent to landfill declined 39.4% to 15,218 kg, contributing to an 89% diversion rate. • Packaging intensity edged up 2% to 83 kg per HK$1 million turnover owing to a shift from B2B to B2C fulfilment; the retailer joined the HKSAR “Packaging Reduction Charter” and expanded reuse programmes for crates and protective fabric covers.

Women hold 56% of board seats and 60% of management roles. • Average training reached 189.6 hours per employee, a 5% increase, supported by 301 e-learning modules and 149 offline sessions. • The period recorded zero fatalities, 13 reportable injuries and 130 lost workdays. • No breaches of labour, anti-discrimination or occupational-safety regulations were reported.
