SUPPORTING STUDENT ARTISTS IN OUR HONG KONG COMMUNITY To mark the holiday season in a meaningful way, ESR and ARA came together to support student artists from Hong Chi Association, a Hong Kong-based NGO dedicated to empowering people with intellectual disabilities. Four talented students from Hong Chi Winifred Mary Cheung Morninghope School – Chan Ching Lok, Ho Yiu Hei Sammon, Kwok Yu Hing YoYo and Wang Xue Ying Elsa – created artwork depicting landmark ESR and ARA assets, which were commemorated in our special Christmas e-card in 2021. ESR further made a donation to Hong Chi Association to support their work. SUPPORTING MENTAL HEALTH FOR OUR INDUSTRY – ESR AUSTRALIA AND HEALTHY HEADS IN TRUCKS & SHEDS ESR Australia began supporting a new partner in 2021, Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds, a non-profit foundation that champions mental health and well-being for workers in road transport, warehousing and logistics industries across Australia. Prior to this partnership, ESR Australia engaged with staff members through a survey to understand charity partnership preferences, which facilitated our choice to ultimately support Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds. SEEDING POSITIVE CHANGE IN OUR COMMUNITIES In addition to our US$35,500 National Highway sponsorship, we are active in supporting Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds to promote their key messages and pillars, including increased mental health training, standardisation of policies, and wellness through our digital channels to our teams. We are also working on a broader initiative together to assist Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds in achieving their membership targets through sharing about this industry-for-industry initiative with our customers and their employees, with the larger goal of creating thriving workplaces across Australia. SPONSORING AMATEUR FOOTBALL LEAGUE TO PROMOTE SPORTSMANSHIP We began our partnership with one of Japan’s premier amateur football associations, Footy Japan Competitions, in 2021 with a multi-year sponsorship agreement involving two of the biggest brands in the country’s multinational sporting community. We are pleased to see the alignment between ESR’s core values and that of Footy Japan Competitions, among them commitment, sportsmanship and teamwork. We look forward to collaborating on initiatives to promote greater inclusion among Japan’s international community – within Footy Japan Competitions are team members from a multitude of nationalities, business backgrounds and ages. In line with our vision for sustainable development, we will continue to leverage our resources to support admirable causes like this - to drive positive community changes.
