Although a section on ESG is not required for Companies Limited by Guarantee, the Board resolved in 2021 that the Annual Report should nevertheless formally include ESG in its Report from 2021/22 onwards. Environment and Sustainability In 2024°25, the School continued to strengthen its sustainability e orts through infrastructure upgrades and resource management. A major milestone was the completion of three new Learning Centres— the Kowloon East (Kingston) Learning Centre (KEK), Sheung Shui Learning Centre (SSLC), and Kingston East (Exchange) Learning Centre (KEE)—each designed with environmentally friendly features as a priority and aligned with HKU Estates Oªice ESG guidelines. KEK locates at Kingston International Centre which received BEAM Plus Platinum certi ication, featuring 40% greenery coverage and energy-ef icient designs that reduce carbon emissions by over 30%. Their curtain wall systems help lower solar heat gain and airconditioning consumption. SSLC and KEE also adopted greenery and wooden inishes to create a calming atmosphere and reduce reliance on arti icial lighting. Motion sensors and timer controls were installed to support energy conservation. Additionally, both centres introduced the 'Way Finder' digital display system for checking class schedules and providing directional guidance, supporting paper reduction. Paper reduction remained a key focus. The School enhanced its use of digital tools, including the e-Prospectus and digital name cards. The Institutional Advancement Unit has successfully collaborated with Colleges and Units to adopt green printing and production practices. This initiative, driven by a strategic shift towards digital iles, resulted in a 20% reduction in printing quantities, from 164 to 130 jobs between 202324 and 202425, effectively minimising material waste and environmental impact.

This will not (initially at least) replace paper parchments, though it may do so eventually. The Microcredential Scheme already awards digital badges and these have proved popular – some 4,568 microcredential participants were recorded in 2024/25. Most of these are CEF eligible and the School o ers some 40% in total of all CEF eligible courses. In December 2024, HKU SPACE introduced its new mobile app, designed to enrich the student experience. This app serves as a userfriendly platform enabling students to stay informed about the School’s latest updates and to access comprehensive information about the School’s programmes and activities. Another irst for 2024/25 was the initiation of the Teaching Fellowship Scheme a highly regarded international award of the UK HEA Fellowship administered by Advance HE. During the year the Joint Venture College with our partner, Po Leung Kuk, HKU SPACE Po Leung Kuk Stanley Ho Community College (HPSHCC) continued to do well with a total of over 3,000 full-time students at the Causeway Bay Campus. Our Greater Management Role continued to prosper and the two partners signed a new Joint Venture Agreement to run until 2055 at a ceremony on 10 March 2025. Finally, I would like to thank the Board of Directors for its support and guidance during the year and to express my appreciation of my colleagues who have worked hard to make 2024/25 a successful year of growth and achievement. 關於頒授證書事宜，學院將於2025/26學年啓 動數碼學歷證書計劃。此舉（至少在初期）不會取 代紙本證書，但未來可能逐步實現全面數碼化。 微證書計劃現已頒發數碼證書或徽章，深獲學員 歡迎。在2024/25年度，共有4,568名學員報 讀學院的微證書課程。大部分微證書課程均符合 持續進修基金資助範圍，目前學院共計提供市場 上約40%持續進修基金認可課程。 為加強學生體驗，學院在2024年12 月推出了 全新流動應用程式。此應用程式提供一個便捷 的平台，讓學員無論身在何處，均可緊貼學院最 新動態，掌握學院所有課程及活動資訊。 學院在2024/25年度的另一項發展是，首度推 出「教學院士計劃」，這是一項由英國高等教育學 會（Advance HE）管理的英國HEA學者國際知 名獎項，備受國際推崇。 在本年度，學院與保良局合辦的港大保良何鴻 燊社區書院繼續表現良好，銅鑼灣校園全日制學 生總數逾3,000。我們繼續擔任重大管理角色， 並於2025年3月10日，雙方簽署了新的合作 協議，將合作期延續至2055年。 最後，我要感謝董事局於本年度給予學院的支持 與指導，並向學院全體同事致以由衷謝意，有賴 大家的辛勤付出，學院在2024/25年度取得長 足進步與豐碩成果。 10 11
