The governance of the Group's climate strategy follows the overarching structure of its wider sustainability governance which is discussed in [more detail in the 2021 Sustainability Report](https://www.ckh.com.hk/en/esg/esg_sustainability-report.php) .

These core business divisions are responsible for implementing appropriate risk mitigation strategies in line with the Group's climate strategy and priorities. Each division is resourced with dedicated sustainability teams, as well as senior-level Sustainability Working Groups, which communicate regularly on progress made to the Group. Internal expertise is provided by the Group's full-time sustainability experts that drive the identification, awareness building and management programmes of their industry-specific climate-related risks and opportunities. The Group recognises however certain parts of the climate action journey require external expertise, such as for scope 3 footprinting and conducting scenario analysis; the Group therefore engages leading third party carbon experts, where necessary, to provide such technical expertise as it builds out its short and long term climate action plans. High quality data is also fundamental. In 2021, the Group began rolling out a sustainability data management software across the Group with key benefits of this software including having the most up-to-date emissions factors and enhanced tools for ongoing variance [...] The Group will continue to evolve its governance processes through identifying further roles and responsibilities in ensuring effective oversight.
