Published since 2023, S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook (China) has been one of the most authoritative and indicative ESG assessment tools, deisgned to highlight and honour Chinese enterprises across various industries that have each demonstrated exceptional corporate sustainability practices. The evaluation and selection process is stringent and highly competitive, leveraging data from the 2024 S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA). The selection process also reflects exclusion screening criteria, with distinctions determined relative to the best-performing company in each industry. The 2024 CSA assesses companies and their respective industries via 62 industry-specific questionnaires. To be selected for recognition, companies must achieve a CSA Score of at least 30 and rank within the top 15% of performers in their industry based on quantitative metrics.

As of 31 March 2025, the Sustainability Yearbook (China) 2025 evaluated over 1,600 companies that underwent assessment in the 2024 CSA. Out of 1,600 companies, only 160 companies earned a place in this year’s Yearbook. Notably, COLI not only was included in the Yearbook but also emerged as the exclusive mainland developer to be selected.

In 2024, the Company has achieved comprehensive progress in its ESG performance. COLI’s Hang Seng ESG Rating has been upgraded to A+, with the Company being selected as a constituent of the Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Index (Top 30 Hong Kong-listed companies with the best ESG performance), making it the only Chinese real estate company to be selected. The Company’s ESG rating has been elevated from BBB to A by the international mainstream rating agency MSCI. COLI’s Sustainalytics ESG Risk Rating score has been recognised as the best-performing Chinese real estate company and among the top 10% of global participating companies. In addition, COLI has been consistently included as a constituent of the FTSE4Good Index for eighth consecutive years.
