About Sing Tao
關於星島
ABOUT SING TAO
Sing Tao News Corporation Limited is a media corporation with 
a vision to become a leading cross-media content and service 
provider serving global Chinese communities. The Company 
is listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange 
(stock code : 1105). Its principal activities comprise Media and 
Media-related operations, including traditional media spanning 
Newspapers, Magazines, Recruitment Media and Books, as well 
as online and mobile multi-media platforms which the Group has 
been developing in order to open up new reader segments and 
revenue sources. In building our cross-media business we keep 
a pulse closely on the latest development trends to meet the 
extensive needs of the market. Based in Hong Kong, the Group’s 
business network covers major cities in the PRC, the US, Canada 
and Europe, with around 1,300 staff worldwide.
The “Sing Tao” brand dates back to 1938 when the daily 
newspaper of the same title was launched in Hong Kong. Over 
the years, “Sing Tao” has become recognised as a global name 
in the print media market. The current newspaper portfolio 
includes paid and free newspapers in both Chinese and English 
languages, targeting local and overseas Chinese readers. 
Currently, the Group is placing strong efforts on the development 
of its new media business by adopting the strategy of upgrading 
the “single-engine drive” of the Group’s traditional media to 
become a “dual-engine drive” which combines traditional media 
and new media, in order to build a competitive multi-media 
platform. In January 2022, the Group launched the all-new “Sing 
Tao Headline” APP, providing users with trending news, videos/
live broadcasts, personalised functions and practical daily-living 
tools.
Within the print media operations, the flagship publication is 
the renowned Sing Tao Daily. Acclaimed as one of the world’s 
most widely-read Chinese-language daily newspapers, Sing Tao 
Daily publishes a number of overseas editions sold in over 100 
cities worldwide, in addition to Hong Kong. The Group has 
also established for itself a leadership position in Hong Kong’s 
free newspaper market, given the success of Headline Daily 
and The Standard, respectively the No. 1 Chinese-language and 
English-language free paper. In the Magazine market, the weekly 
title East Week provides comprehensive content on local and 
global current affairs, entertainment, lifestyle and cultural trends. 
The Group also offers a multi-media platform for recruitment and 
continuing education advertising under its JobMarket brand.

Ethical Operation Practices

ANTI-CORRUPTION
Ethically sustaining business development is the cornerstone 
of the Group. Employees are strictly regulated by the Code of 
Conduct, as stipulated in the Employee Handbook, and the 
Prevention of Bribery Ordinance (Cap.201 of the Laws of Hong 
Kong). When there is a conflict of interest or employees are 
aware of circumstances or activities in relation to the Group’s 
affair or business, the cases should be reported immediately. Also, 
the Group encourages the reporting of illegal practices, including 
but not limited to, bribery, fraud, and money laundering through 
our whistle-blowing mechanism. An investigation will be taken 
in response to the reported case. The identity of whistle-blowers 
and reports are kept confidential to ensure there is no detriment 
to reporting suspected cases.
To further ensure compliance, relevant guidelines are available 
on the intranet for all employees to access at any time, together 
with the internal audits to review the performance. At the same 
time, the Group organises anti-corruption training to remain 
and provide knowledge on prevention and handling corruption. 
During the Reporting Period, employees and the Board received 
a total of 270 hours of anti-corruption training. With the 
comprehensive monitoring system, there are no anti-corruption 
related cases received during the Report Period.

為守則嚴格規管。當存在利益衝突或知悉與本集團
事務或業務有關的情況或活動時，員工應立即報告案

strive to provide products (inter alia, newspapers, magazines, 
recruitment media and other publications) and services (inter alia, 
advertising, promotional events, printing and publishing services) 
of the highest standards. Despite complying with the advertising

the copyright owner. If there is any infringement of intellectual 
property rights, the Group will undergo investigation and impose 
a penalty.
To further protect the property of the Group and avoid 
infringement of copyright software, the IT Policy stipulates all 
programs and files are licensed and downloaded only with the 
approval of the IT department. It also helps to protect the data 
privacy of our customers. After receiving customers’ consent 
on collecting personal information, the received data and

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
The Group advocates the importance of maintaining the stability 
of the supply chain. It is committed to sourcing materials from 
sustainable sources and ensuring the selection of socially and 
environmentally responsible suppliers. Senior management 
employees are responsible for examining their environmental 
and social performance before the selection. They are expected 
to fulfill the requirements established by the regulations and 
ordinances and the expectations of the industry. Relevant 
requirements are listed in the tender and contract with the 
suppliers, including the environmentally friendly materials 
requirement, ensuring the absence of child and forced labour.
To guarantee the compliance with relevant regulations and 
performance of materials, the Group reviews the list of suppliers 
on regular basis. If the suppliers are failed to meet the standards, 
the Group may discontinue the business relationship unless 
improvement measures are implemented within the given period.
During the Reporting Year, the Group has more than 1,200 
suppliers, 90% of our suppliers are based in Asia, and the rest 
are based in North America and Europe that provide services and 
products.

Even though we are not facing any issue in sourcing water, 
we advocate the reduction of water consumption for the 
conservation of water resources. With our target of maintaining 
the key performance indicators at not more than 2019 levels, we 
have introduced measures to ensure effective usage of resources, 
including putting up posters on water-saving practices, installing 
water-saving taps.
During the Reporting Period, the Group consumed 26,229 
cubic metres of water resources. The implementation of water 
saving measures resulted in a reduction of around 18.8% of total 
consumption.

Due to our business operation, large amounts of paper and ink 
are consumed in the production. To lower the impacts from the 
unavoidable consumption, the Group encourages the use of 
environmentally friendly products as well as to achieve the target 
of maintaining the key performance indicators at not more than 
2019 levels. For example, the papers used are purchased from 
the members of the Forest Stewardship Council to minimise the 
impacts on forests. We also collect newspapers for recycling 
to avoid waste of materials and to remanufacture for printing. 
Apart from the paper consumption, ink is another concern of the 
Group on our potential environmental impacts. As to fulfill the 
standards and decrease the potential impacts, we use organic-
based printing ink for our products. All ink used was supplied 
by manufacturers who comply with ISO14000 and ISO14001 
Environmental Management System Standards as well as the 
ISO9000 and ISO9001 Quality Management System Standards.
因應我們的業務運作，生產過程需使用大量紙張和油
墨。為降低不可避免的消耗帶來的影響，本集團鼓勵
使用環保產品，並實現將關鍵績效指標維持在不超過
二零一九年水平的目標。例如，從森林管理委員會成
員購買紙張，以盡量減少對森林的影響。我們亦會收
集白報紙以進行回收，避免浪費資源及可再製造印刷
用紙張。除白報紙的使用外，油墨是本集團的潛在環
境影響的另一個關注點。為了達到標準和減少潛在影
響，我們的產品均使用有機印刷油墨。所有使用的油
墨由符合ISO14000及ISO14001環境管理體系標準及
ISO9000及ISO9001質量管理體系標準的製造商提供。
即使我們在求取水源上沒有任何問題，我們提倡減少
用水量以保護水資源。我們已採取措施確保有效利用
資源，包括張貼節水措施海報、安裝節水水龍頭等，
致力達成將關鍵績效指標維持在不超過二零一九年水
平的目標。
於本報告期，本集團共消耗了26,229立方米水資源，
通過實施節水措施使總量減少了約18.8%。

ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
With the focus on newspapers and magazine publications and 
digital media services, we affect the environment with certain 
levels of energy consumption and emissions. As described in the 
“Emissions” section, the Group has implemented measures on 
mitigating and minimising the air emissions, waste, and water 
discharge. At the same time, our operation carries with potential 
noise and light pollution. To reduce the corresponding impacts, 
our Environmental and Natural Resources Policy indicates that 
all relevant equipment should be maintained periodically, and 
lightings are only used for illumination purposes. Also, the 
Group will review the measures and system, where appropriate, 
to perform comprehensive management on the impacts on the 
environment and natural resources.
CLIMATE CHANGE
Although urban and economic development brings benefits to 
our standard of living, it is threatening our lives and safety with 
climate change. It results in rising sea levels, melting of glaciers 
and sea ice, frequent hurricanes, storms and other phenomena. 
The Group acknowledges the impacts of climate change on the 
community and our business operation. In order to mitigate 
the climate-related risks and impacts, the Group will formulate 
relevant policy for identifying and monitoring the issues and 
establish corresponding measures for mitigation.
環境及天然資源
我們的報紙和雜誌出版物以及數碼媒體服務，為環境
帶來一定程度的能源消耗和排放影響。如「排放物」一
節所述，本集團已採取相應措施緩和及減少空氣排放
物、廢棄物和水資源的排放。同時，我們的業務亦存
在潛在的噪音和光污染。為了減少相應的影響，我們
的《環境和自然資源政策》已明確所有相關設備應定期
維修，以及照明設備僅用於照明目的。此外，本集團
將於適時檢視措施和制度，以對環境和自然資源的影
響進行全面管理。
氣候變化
雖然城市和經濟發展為我們的生活水平帶來了正面影
響，但伴隨的氣候變化正威脅著我們的性命與安全。
氣候變化已令冰川和海冰融化導致海平面上升，颶
風、風暴和其他現象頻繁發生。本集團理解氣候變化
對社區及業務營運的影響，並將制訂相關政策以識別
和監測其議題，訂立相應的減緩措施，以減低氣候相
關的風險和影響。
