During the Reporting Period, we successfully achieved the latest versions of the ISO 27001 Certification for Information Security Management System and the ISO20000 Certification for IT Service Management System, which serve as an important cornerstone for the Company's digital development. Several systems and projects developed by our technology team cover a wide range of functions, including SmarTrack, operational process digitalisation project, Robotic Process Automation, MaiaAI system, Site Worker Safety Tracking Watch, Intelligent Tower Crane Cockpit. These technological innovations enhance the Group's core competitiveness in the construction industry, and actively utilise digital technology to improve work efficiency and site safety.
In the second half of 2025, Hong Kong's economic activities are expected to continue steady development, while cost pressure is expected to rise with increasing construction volume. The government has introduced two strategic initiatives in the 2025-2026 Budget Proposal, which are anticipated to have positive impacts on the Group's operations. The increase of capital works expenditure creates new project opportunities for the construction sector, thereby expanding the market for the Group's core businesses. The Skills Enhancement Allowance Scheme for the construction sector is projected to reduce the Group's workforce development expenditures and enhance the skillsets of its human capital.
Our Group will continue to work hard to find new potential construction business opportunities to achieve Group's profit growth. At the same time, leveraging our experience in the industry, our Group is keen to explore suitable business opportunities in construction and environmental industries and other areas both domestic and overseas.
