The recognition is likely to enhance Shui On Land's brand reputation and investor perception, potentially supporting its stock price and ESG credentials. It may also increase attention on the company's sustainable development practices, though the direct financial impact is limited.
Shui On Land Limited, a Chinese real estate developer listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, has been named among Time's inaugural 'World's Most Impactful Companies' list for 2026. It is the first and only Chinese property company to receive this recognition. The list, launched by Time in partnership with Statista, uses a data-driven methodology based on the Upright Project's Net Impact Model, drawing on over 200 million scientific articles and databases from the World Bank Group, WHO, OECD, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and other sources. Shui On Land's inclusion highlights its leadership in sustainable community development, particularly its Xintiandi communities in China — Shanghai, China — Wuhan, China — Chongqing, and China — Foshan. The company has adopted the Science Based Targets initiative, uses 100% renewable electricity at its flagship China — Shanghai Xintiandi since July 2024, and cut Scope 1 and 2 carbon intensity by 57% and Scope 3 tenant carbon intensity by 32% in 2025 from a 2019 baseline. It also partnered with the U.S. Green Building Council to launch the first 'Deep Green Lease' for office spaces in China. Vice Chairman Stephanie Lo commented on the recognition, emphasizing the company's commitment to sustainability and urban regeneration.
