Bulletin Express04-30

Regal Partners Holdings (“Regal Partners”) released its 2025 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, detailing operational realignments, resource-efficiency gains and supply-chain controls across China, Hong Kong and newly launched Cambodian operations.

Workforce and Labour • Headcount fell to 194 from 220 after the September 2025 shutdown of Zhejiang Premier Furniture, with male staff representing 68% of employees. • Annual staff turnover jumped to 149% (2024: 61%), reflecting redundancies linked to the factory closure. • Two minor work-related injuries were recorded (71 lost workdays) and no fatalities. Fire-safety drills were held at facilities in China and Cambodia. • Average training hours reached 6.0 for male employees and 8.0 for female employees; 168 general staff and 10 managers received structured training programmes.

Supply-Chain & Product Quality • Active supplier base trimmed to 104 from 121 after performance reviews; all vendors are China- or Cambodia-based and screened for environmental and social (E&S) compliance, including raw-material provenance (e.g., tree-cutting licences, animal welfare certificates). • Six customer complaints were logged in 2025 (2024: 13); no product recalls were necessary. • IP portfolio stands at 36 trademarks and 129 patents globally.

Environmental Performance • Scope 1 greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions were 20.98 tCO₂e; Scope 2 emissions fell 33% to 261.23 tCO₂e as electricity use dropped to 427.8 MWh (-27%). • The Group set a target to cut GHG-emission intensity 5% by 2030 (2025 as base year) and has expanded LED lighting and equipment-upgrade programmes. • Scope 3 emissions, tracked for the first time, totalled 118.29 tCO₂e, mainly from business travel. • Water consumption rose to 4,001 m³ (2024: 2,702 m³), attributable to the ramp-up of Regal Southeast Asia’s Cambodian plant, operational since March 2025. • Non-hazardous solid waste, primarily leftover wood, fabric and leather, declined to 95 t (2024: 143 t) and is fully recycled by certified contractors; no significant hazardous waste generated.

Governance and Compliance • No incidents of corruption, bribery or money-laundering were reported; 194 employees received anti-corruption training. • The board maintains direct oversight of ESG strategy. Internal controls continue to align with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 at Regal China; ISO 9001 was implemented at Regal Southeast Asia in October 2025. • The Group remains compliant with Winner Union’s environmental and social covenants linked to its outstanding convertible loan, with no deviations identified.

Outlook Regal Partners plans to review progress against its 5% GHG-intensity reduction goal annually while deepening supply-chain audits and resource-efficiency projects across its diversified manufacturing base.
