EDA Group Holdings has published its second annual Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report, covering operations from 1 January to 31 December 2025 and endorsed by the Board on 31 March 2026. The report outlines an expanded governance architecture—headed by an eight-member board (37.5% independent, 12.5% female) and a six-member ESG Working Group—and aligns practices with Hong Kong Stock Exchange requirements and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Key environmental data show total Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse-gas emissions of 1,311.70 tCO2e, comprehensive energy consumption of 547.70 tonnes of standard coal equivalent, water use of 48,957.40 tonnes and non-hazardous waste generation of 52.00 tonnes. Using 2023 as a baseline, the company targets a 5–8% reduction in both energy-use and greenhouse-gas intensities over the next five years. Two overseas warehouses—Mississauga (Canada) and Atlanta (US)—secured LEED Silver certification, and automation upgrades lifted logistics-label OCR accuracy to 99.99% while cutting manual error rates by about 80%.
Digitalisation remains central to strategy: EDA integrated a large-language AI model into order processing, warehouse management and logistics scheduling, and added nine new systems—including head-haul PDA and capacity-management platforms—under its spring-cloud microservices framework. These initiatives, supported by partnerships with Huawei Cloud and AWS, improved logistics-exception response by roughly 90%.
Social metrics record 451 employees (37.0% women), a 63.9% training coverage ratio and an average 6.2 training hours per person. No work-related fatalities or major safety incidents occurred for the third consecutive year. Anti-corruption training reached all directors and key staff, and no legal or regulatory breaches were reported.
The company deepened cooperation with international e-commerce platforms such as TikTok, TEMU, AliExpress and SHEIN, broadened its supplier base to 478 entities across nine regions, and embedded sustainability clauses in procurement contracts. Community contributions during the year included a HK $0.10 million donation to the Tai Po Hung Fook Yuen Assistance Fund for disaster relief.
EDA Group intends to monitor progress against its new emissions-intensity and energy-efficiency targets while continuing to scale its “digital overseas warehouse + smart logistics + cloud system” model to underpin long-term sustainable growth.
