Environmental, Social And Governance Report

INTRODUCTION, ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE POLICIES

Stream Ideas Group Limited (the “Company”), together with its subsidiaries, (the “Group” or “we”) is a wellestablished and leading advertising agency. The principal activity of the Group is to provide online advertising services to brand owners and advertising agencies, including social viral service, engager service, and mass blogging service. Its business primarily operates in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Singapore. The Group’s headquarters is located in Hong Kong and the Group has offices in Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.

This Environmental, Social and Governance Report (the “ESG Report”) summarises the environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) initiatives, plans and performances of the Group and demonstrates its commitment to sustainable development.

The ESG Governance Structure

The Group has established an ESG working taskforce (the “Taskforce”), composed of staff from relevant departments, in which, full-time staff has been assigned to collect ESG relevant data and compile the ESG Report. The Taskforce would periodically report to the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), assist in the assessment and identification of the risk management of the Group on various ESG aspects and whether the Group’s internal control system is effective and sufficient. The Taskforce is also responsible for reviewing the ESG performance of the Group, including environmental, labour practices, and other ESG aspects. Whilst the Board is responsible for setting the framework and objectives of its ESG strategies, the Taskforce is responsible for ensuring effective risk management and internal controls adopting the Board’s ESG Strategies.

SCOPE OF REPORTING

The ESG Report covers the Group’s business activities of offices in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Singapore, which represent the Group’s major sources of revenue. As the Group’s business in Singapore is handled by employees stationed in Malaysia’s office, the ESG key performance indicators (“KPI”) gathered in Malaysia’s operations also represent that of Singapore’s business. The ESG KPI data also include those gathered from the subsidiaries under the Group’s direct control. The Group will extend the scope of disclosures when and where applicable. The KPIs and the supplementary explanatory notes are shown in the ESG Report to establish benchmarks.

REPORTING FRAMEWORK

The ESG Report has been prepared in accordance with the Environmental, Social and Governance Reporting Guide (the “ESG Reporting Guide”) as set out in the Appendix 20 of the GEM Listing Rules of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. Information relating to the corporate governance practices of the Group has been set out in the Corporate Governance Report on pages 31 to 41 of the Annual Report 2020–2021.

REPORTING PERIOD

The ESG Report describes the ESG activities, challenges and measures taken by the Group from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021 (the “Reporting Period”).

A. ENVIRONMENTAL

A1. Emissions

Due to our business nature as an online advertising service provider, we do not directly generate GHG emissions. Also, exhaust gas emissions and hazardous wastes are not generated during our business operations. Therefore, we consider these topics as immaterial to our business. However, we recognise the small amount of non-hazardous wastes we generate, and we are eager to address any potential indirect negative environmental impacts associated with our business operations.

In striving to create an environmentally sustainable business, we have integrated environmental consideration into our decision-making processes. We are also committed to raising our employee’s environmental awareness and complying with all relevant environmental laws and regulations.

The Group has also formulated relevant environmental protection policies to provide solid governance in managing and minimising the environmental impacts caused by our operations.

These policies encourage our staff to contribute towards sustainability of the business by adopting environmentally-friendly operation methods. Going forward, we will continue to enhance our environmental management strategies in monitoring and minimising the environmental impacts caused by our businesses in the coming years.

During the Reporting Period, the Group did not have any material non-compliance with the relevant environmental laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where the Group operates that have a significant influence on the Group’s operations, including but not limited to the Waste Disposal Ordinance, Air Pollution Control Ordinance, Noise Control Ordinance of Hong Kong, Waste Disposal Act of Taiwan, Environmental Quality Act of Malaysia, Law No. 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management of Indonesia, Clean Air Act of the Philippines and Environmental Protection and Management Act of Singapore.

Exhaust Gas Emissions

As the Group’s business does not include any factory processes nor does it involve the usage of fuel combustion vehicles, no exhaust gas is directly generated by the Group. Therefore the exhaust gas emissions are considered immaterial to the Group’s operation.

GHG Emissions

The Group understands the impact of climate change and the urgency of reducing its GHG emissions. As such, the Group is determined to maintain the efforts in raising its employees’ awareness on environmental protection, and actively implement the Group’s environmental protection measures where possible.

As previously stated, the Group’s daily operations do not involve the use of fuel combustion vehicles, therefore it does not generate any direct GHG emissions (Scope 1). However, given the Group’s business nature, the principal GHG emissions of the Group are generated from purchased electricity (Scope 2). Due to the travel restrictions during the Reporting Period, GHG emissions from business air travels by the Group’s employees are minimal (Scope 3).

During the Reporting Period, the Group’s total GHG emission has decreased by approximately 53.19% due to the decrease in the electricity consumption for energy indirect GHG emissions (Scope 2) resulted from the decrease in business activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The summary of GHG emissions and its intensity were as follows:

GHG emissions
Indicator1 Unit 2021 2020
Direct GHG emissions (Scope 1) tCO2e
Energy indirect GHG emissions (Scope 2) —
Electricity2 tCO2e 8.58 11.80
Other indirect GHG emissions (Scope 3) —
Business aircraft navigation tCO2e 6.53
Total GHG emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3) tCO2e 8.58 18.33
Intensity of GHG emissions tCO2e/HK$ million 0.373 0.74

Notes:

  1. GHG emission data is presented in terms of carbon dioxide equivalent and are based on, but not limited to, “The Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standards” issued by the World Resources Institute and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, the latest released emission factors of CLP, the latest released emission factors of Malaysia’s regional power grid basis, the latest released emission factors of Taiwan’s regional power grid basis, “How to prepare an ESG Report — Appendix II: Reporting Guidance on Environmental KPIs” issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, “Global Warming Potential Values” from the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report, 2014 (AR5).

  2. Electricity consumption in Indonesia and the Philippines are not available due to the co-working arrangement adopted in the operation of the Group there.

  3. During the Reporting Period, the Group had approximately HK$23,408,000 revenue in total. Unless specified otherwise, the data is also used for calculating other intensity data.

STREAM IDEAS GROUP LIMITED • ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT 2020-2021 5

==> picture [596 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

Environmental, Social And Governance Report

Although we have a relatively small carbon footprint in comparison to other industries, we have adopted the following measures to further mitigate the energy indirect GHG emissions from electricity consumption in our operations and raise employees’ environmental awareness:

  • Encouraging employee to avoid overtime working as much as possible and leave the office before 8pm;

  • Requiring employees to turn off their computers’ power after work;

  • Switching off lights during lunch hour;

  • Keeping the air-conditioning temperature at 24 degrees Celsius in summer; and

  • Encouraging employees to turn off the air-conditioners and open the windows for ventilation in winter.

As we recognise that electricity usage is the major source of our GHG emissions, additional measures related to reducing energy consumption are further elaborated in the sub-section headed “Energy Consumption” under the section headed “A2 use of Resources” below.

Sewage Discharge

Due to the Group’s business nature, we do not consume a significant volume of water in our business activities, and therefore our business activities did not generate material volume of discharged water during the Reporting Period. The majority of the water supply and discharge facilities are provided and managed by the property management company, and therefore water consumed is also considered sewage discharged.

Waste Management

Hazardous waste handling method

While no hazardous waste has been generated by the Group during the Reporting Period, we have established guidelines governing the management and disposal of hazardous wastes. In case there is any hazardous waste produced, we must engage a qualified chemical waste collector to handle such waste, which is in compliance with the relevant environmental laws and regulations.

Environmental, Social And Governance Report

Non-hazardous waste handling method

The Group’s non-hazardous wastes were mainly generated from office operation, including wastes such as paper. To minimise the environmental impacts from non-hazardous wastes generated from our business operations, the Group has implemented a series of measures to guide employees in handling and minimising such wastes. The waste reduction measures are as follows:

  • Using double-sided printing or photocopying wherever possible;

  • Utilising electronic media for communication;

  • Recycling one-sided printed paper;

  • Avoiding single-use disposable items; and

  • Placing “Green Message” reminders on office equipment.

During the Reporting Period, the total non-hazardous waste generated has increased by approximately 50% due to the expansion of reporting scope.

A2. Use of Resources

The Group strives to optimise resource usage in its business operations and has taken proactive initiatives in promoting resource efficiency and adopting eco-friendly approaches in our operations. As an office-based company, the Group’s major resource consumption includes energy consumption and office paper consumption. We have established policies and initiatives to govern energy consumption, which will be set out in details below in this section. We have also noticed the potential environmental impacts brought about by the consumption of other natural resources, such as water consumption, related policies and initiatives are also implemented to mitigate such impacts.

Energy Consumption

With electricity consumption contributing to all of the Group’s energy consumption, the Group continues to look for new ways to optimise, integrate and use the resources efficiently with the support of the latest information science and technology, thereby achieving sustainable development. Relevant policies and initiatives on energy conservation have been developed to show our concern on energy efficiency. All employees must follow the adopted policies and measures in resource utilisation. Energy usage review is conducted regularly and targets to seek continuous improvement in the Group’s energy performance.

The Group also closely monitors the monthly consumption of electricity, water and other resources. Should any unexpected high electricity consumption occur, it will be investigated to find out the root cause, while corresponding preventive measures will be formulated and implemented. During the Reporting Period, the Group has implemented the following measures related to mitigating emissions:

  • Switching off unnecessary lightings and electrical appliances when not in use; and

  • Setting all printers, photocopiers and computers to energy saving mode.

During the Reporting Period, the electricity consumption amount has decreased by approximately 20.29%. This is mainly resulted from the decrease in business activities due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic and that some employees are required to work from home instead of working in the office. During the Reporting Period, the energy consumption of the Group and its intensity were as follows:

Energy consumption
Types of energy Unit 2021 2020
Direct energy consumption — kWh
fuel consumption
Indirect energy consumption — kWh 17,903.00 22,459.00
electricity consumption4
Total energy consumption kWh 17,903.00 22,459.00
Energy consumption intensity kWh/HK$ million 764.82 905.79

Note:

  1. The electricity consumption only includes Hong Kong, Malaysia and Taiwan offices. The actual electricity consumption of Indonesia and the Philippines offices are not available due to the co-working space arrangement adopted in those offices, and there is no office located in Singapore.

Environmental, Social And Governance Report

Water Consumption

Water consumed by the Group is mainly used for the daily needs of employees and to fulfil basic business operation. The Group endeavours to drive behavioural change and encourages all employees to adopt a habit of water conservation. We have been strengthening our water-saving promotion. Water saving reminders are posted in the office to remind and guide our employees to use water reasonably.

Since our principal business operation is the provision of online advertising services, we do not consume significant amount of water in our business activities. The majority of the water supply facilities are provided and managed by property management company, so the procurement of suitable water sources is not relevant to the Group.

During the Reporting Period, the water consumption has increased by approximately 2.82% due to the expansion of reporting scope and increased frequency of office cleaning in light of COVID-19 epidemic.

Waste disposal amount Waste disposal amount
Water consumption Unit 2021 2020
Water consumed Cubic meter 3.64 3.54
Water consumption intensity Cubic meter 0.16 0.14

Use of Packaging Materials

As the principal business of the Group is providing online advertising service, we did not consume any packaging materials for product packaging during the Reporting Period.

A3. The Environment and Natural Resources

Although the core business of the Group has limited impact on the environment and natural resources, the Group strives to make an ongoing commitment towards good corporate social responsibility. The Group recognises the importance of minimising the negative environmental impacts generated by its business operations, and is devoted to achieve sustainable development through generating long-term values to the community and our stakeholders. The Group also attaches great importance to adopting industrial best practices and regularly assesses the environmental risks of our business, adopts preventive measures to reduce potential risks and ensures compliance with relevant laws and regulations.

Paperless Office

In order to reduce paper usage, the Group strongly advocated paperless office operations. All offices are operated in the electronic system as far as possible to reduce the consumption of office paper. We also encourage electronic medium for communications within the office and with suppliers.

B2. Health and Safety

Due to its business nature, the Group’s business activities do not pose any significant threats to the health and safety of employees. Nonetheless, the Group is eager to protect and safeguard the health and safety of its employees and has established a comprehensive health and safety policy to guide employees into avoiding potential health risks. We have also continued to invest sufficient resources and devote efforts to maintain and enhance safety management so as to mitigate health and safety risks.

During the Reporting Period, the Group has not recorded any work-related fatalities nor lost days due to work injury. Furthermore, the Group was not aware of any material non-compliance with the health and safety-related laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where the Group operates that have a significant impact on the Group, including but not limited to Occupational Safety and Health Ordinance of Hong Kong, Occupational Safety and Health Act of Taiwan, Occupational Safety and Health Act of Malaysia, Law No.1 of 1970 on Occupational Safety of Indonesia, Occupational Safety and Health Standards Act of the Philippines and Workplace Safety and Health Act of Singapore.

Workplace Health and Safety

Regarding workplace health and safety, first aid boxes are available at readily accessible locations in the offices. Treatment for minor injuries can be obtained on request to the supervisor in charge at the site of the first aid box nearest to the place of the accident. Employees who suffer from injury arising out of and in the course of employment are entitled to compensation in accordance with the relevant laws.

Fire safety measures in certain buildings or installations are also regulated in the Employee Handbook which contains guidelines assisting employees to take proper immediate actions when discovering a fire. Fire drills are conducted to provide employees an opportunity to rehearse emergency procedures in a safe environment and ensure employees can evacuate quickly and safely in the event of a fire.

Given the increased frequency of extreme weather events, adverse weather situation is becoming an increasingly alarming threat towards the health and safety of our employees. As such, the Group’s Employee Handbook has included clear arrangements for adverse weather. For example, under adverse weather situation including typhoon and black rainstorm warning in Hong Kong, employees will be allowed to return home and those with particular travelling problems may be released earlier at the discretion of their head of department when the Hong Kong Observatory makes the announcement of possible hoisting of typhoon warning signal No.8 or Black Rainstorm Warning.

Employees are welcome to provide feedbacks on ways to improve the workplace safety and report any potential hazards that may lead to injury or danger. We emphasise the importance of strict compliance with safety requirements to our employees, and endeavour to enhance their awareness on health and safety issue.

Response to COVID-19

With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group is highly conscious of the potential health and safety impacts brought to its employees. Apart from complying with the health and safety measures of the local governments, the Group has also enhanced environmental hygiene to ensure a healthy and safe working environment. For example, stringent temperature screenings have been conducted before employees are allowed to enter the Group’s office and warehouses. To reduce the risk of cross infection, the Group has also ensured sufficient disinfection supplies such as face masks and hand sanitisers are available in our offices, and that work from home arrangement is allowed to protect the health of our employees.

STREAM IDEAS GROUP LIMITED • ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT 2020-2021 13

Environmental, Social And Governance Report

Furthermore, the Group has divided its employees into team A and team B and required them to go to office on separate days so as to minimise the amount of employees working in the office at a time to prevent the office being overcrowded and to lower the chance of cross infection.

B3. Development and Training

Training and Development

The Group’s success is largely dependent on the skills, ability and dedication of its employees. We believe that nurturing talents and polishing the skills of our human capital is crucial in leading us to excellence. This is achieved through development of training strategy that focuses on creating values and serving the needs of our customers, talents and society. Therefore, we encourage our employees to attend trainings and obtain further professional qualifications.

In order to keep up with the latest industry trend and dynamic development in the current market, our Employee Handbook stipulates that the Group must encourage each employee to develop his/her own training objectives while sales staffs are expected to stay up to date with latest advertising market trends by conducting regular research. The Group will provide suitable training and development opportunities to assist employees to meet their training objectives as well as achieving business goals, specifically for sales team, customer service and administration team, finance team, and IT team. New employees are required to attend an orientation programme within the first week of employment. The programme will provide information on the Group’s structure, mission and business model, employee’s role in contributing to business success and objective, as well as office procedures.
