GME Group Holdings Limited (GME) released its 2025 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, detailing solid financial progress alongside measurable sustainability gains for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Financial snapshot • Revenue rose 15.4% year-on-year to HK$941.11 million, driven by a pivot to large-scale utility construction contracts. • Gross profit slipped to HK$151.37 million, lowering the margin to 16.1% (2024: 19.4%) amid a soft public-sector construction market. • Net profit edged up 1.3% to HK$87.27 million; net assets closed at HK$209.49 million.
Business mix shift Public-sector projects contributed 99.9% of total revenue. Utility and other construction services surged to 78.4% of turnover (2024: 30.7%), while tunnel works fell to 21.5% (2024: 66.9%).
ESG governance and targets The board-led ESG Working Group manages a four-step cycle—identify, prioritise, act, report—and has set four headline goals: 1. Environment: cut energy, greenhouse-gas (GHG) and waste intensities 15% by 2025 and a further 15% by 2030 (2025 as baseline). 2. Supply chain: source 100% FSC-certified timber. 3. People: train more than 50% of employees annually. 4. Safety: keep lost-time-injury frequency rate (LTIFR) below 3.0.
2025 results versus targets • Energy intensity fell 20.6% to 7,177 kWh per HK$1 million revenue; GHG intensity dropped 20.5% to 1.91 tCO₂e per HK$1 million—both beating the 15% reduction goal. • Non-hazardous waste intensity declined to 0.01 t per HK$1 million revenue, surpassing the waste-cut target. • LTIFR improved to 2.3 (2024: 4.6), staying comfortably below the 3.0 ceiling. • Training coverage reached 97% of staff against the 50% benchmark.
Climate-related disclosure Complying with HKEX Appendix C2, GME reported Scope 1 emissions of 1,476 tCO₂e and Scope 2 emissions of 53 tCO₂e. Scenario analysis concluded no material financial impact from climate risks in the short to long term, given existing mitigation measures and the public-sector focus of its project pipeline.
Workforce and diversity Headcount more than doubled to 1,276 employees, with women representing 10.7% of staff. Younger talent influx saw employees under 30 rise to 191, supporting GME’s innovation-driven culture.
Supply-chain oversight GME engaged 395 suppliers (394 in Hong Kong, one in Mainland China). All timber purchases met FSC certification, aligning procurement with the company’s low-carbon objectives.
Awards and recognition During 2025, GME received: • “Most Popular Enterprise for Global Talent” at Innovating Hong Kong Global Talent Carnival. • “IFAPC Potential Development 2025” at the Outstanding Listed Companies Award. Subsequent to year-end, GME won the “ListCo Excellence Award 2025,” underscoring its governance and sustainability credentials.
Outlook Management reaffirmed commitment to responsible growth, further energy efficiency initiatives, expanded workforce training and continued safety enhancements to maintain momentum toward its 2030 ESG targets.
