CLP recognises its obligations to meet evolving stakeholder expectations around the positive role businesses should play in society. This includes demonstrating leadership in its decarbonisation ambitions, investing in reasonably priced and resilient energy infrastructure and stewarding positive social impact through its operations, including supporting employees and communities impacted by the energy transition.
CLP Power allocated over HK$240 million under the CLP Community Energy Saving Fund for a series of community support programmes
CLP donated HKD$10.5 million to support residents affected by the Tai Po fire and the family of the deceased firefighter, and applied power expertise to provide immediate and practical support
CLP is committed to supporting communities by providing access to reasonably priced energy, targeted subsidies and innovative social programmes in Hong Kong and Australia. Major initiatives include the CLP Community Energy Saving Fund, which supports underprivileged groups, promotes community-wide decarbonisation and energy efficiency upgrades and boosts the economy. Community investment spans wellbeing, education, environment, and the arts, with over 938,000 direct beneficiaries in 2025.
CLP demonstrated its deep commitment to community resilience by responding swiftly and compassionately to the devastating Tai Po fire in November, which profoundly affected many residents. The company contributed HK$10 million to the “Support Fund for Wang Fuk Court in Tai Po” and HK$500,000 to the Fire Services Department Welfare Fund, while volunteers stepped forward to offer hands‑on support. To ease the immediate burden on affected families, CLP waived November electricity charges, arranged refunds of electricity account deposits, and set up a dedicated customer care hotline for guidance and reassurance.
Recognising that recovery requires more than financial help, CLP delivered mobile batteries and chargers to residents in emergency shelters and provided small household appliances to families moving into transitional housing. At CLP SmartEnergy@Tai Po, a special service station also offered complimentary refreshments, charging facilities, computer access and internet services, reflecting CLP’s commitment to standing by its communities when they need it most.
Why is this topic material to stakeholders?
Business activities which meet the expectations of stakeholders benefit customers, suppliers and local communities. By addressing education, women’s empowerment, social inclusion, diversity and energy poverty, CLP is enhancing the wellbeing of local communities and supporting socio-economic development. The Groupʼs expertise in building resilient energy infrastructure is helping communities adapt to climate change, ensuring reliable and sustainable energy access to energy. Conversely, failing to provide a just transition for employees affected by the closure of coal-fired power plants could result in negative economic, health and social impacts for workers, their families and communities.
