西城都薈廣場 體驗時尚 美饌盡嚐
Metropolitan Plaza Showcases Experiential Retail and
Gastronomic Delights
作為內地一線城市，廣州發展迅速，人均國內生產總值位居國內三甲，但卻擁有最少的零售物業項目。領展廣州首項物業「西城都薈廣場」位處黃沙站上蓋，交通便捷，為荔灣區時尚購物地標，亦是廣州西部傳統商住區內唯一旗艦式購物中心。
商場雲集國際知名品牌，包括UNIQLO、H&M、Urban Revivo、:CHOCOOLATE、New Look 等國際服飾品牌，知名運動用品商戶則有NIKE、ADIDAS，而「迪卡儂」廣州首間商場分店亦落戶於此。
因應網購對零售行業帶來的變革，商場正加強體驗元素，除了設有UA電影院、 Alienware、華為和小米之家等電子產品體驗店，亦引進美容機構SO'OLK及克麗緹娜等。餐飲商戶亦陣容強大，網羅日、韓、湘、川、台、港等地特色菜餚，並迎來茶木及太興廣州西部首家分店。
領展將會不斷檢視廣場的商戶組合，擴闊產品服務種類，吸引廣州市以至珠三角地區的中產消費群。

As a fast-growing first-tier city, Guangzhou ranks among the top three cities in Mainland China in terms of GDP per capita, yet it has the lowest retail property supply. Metropolitan Plaza, which sits atop Huangsha Station, an interchange station of the Guangzhou Metro in Liwan District, is a trendy retail landmark that signifies Link’s first acquisition in Guangzhou, and the only flagship mall in the city’s western traditional residential and commercial area.
The mall houses a strong cluster of international brands, including popular fashion names such as UNIQLO, H&M, Urban Revivo, :CHOCOOLATE and New Look, as well as sportswear retailers Nike, Adidas and Decathlon, whose Metropolitan Plaza location is its first in-mall branch in Guangzhou.
With the retail landscape reshaped by online commerce, the mall is diversifying its tenant mix to include additional leisure experiences and services, including UA Cinema; the experiential stores of Alienware, Huawei and Xiaomi; and the personal styling service brands SO’OLK and CHLITINA. The mall also holds strong appeal among food lovers, boasting a wide array of culinary choices from Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the provinces of Hunan and Sichuan.
Link will continue to review and refine the mall’s tenant mix, with a view to further enhancing choices and attracting customers from Guangzhou and other Pearl River Delta areas.
啟業「貨櫃」市場 買餸更多FUN
Food Terminal - Loads of Shopping Fun at Kai Yip
由街市承租商建華營運的「啟業市場」完成提升工程，以貨櫃為設計主題，滲入金屬元素裝飾，打造充滿藝術感的玩味購物空間。商戶超過50個，包括搜羅數百款精選入口貨品的國際食品專門店，提供超過400款冷凍食材的店舖，另有本地豬肉檔、傳統中式糕點的小舖、藥膳農產檔戶、素食店以及價格大眾化的食品批發店等。市場亦設有小食街，滿足街坊餐飲需要。
Food Terminal, located at Kai Yip Estate, is a newly renovated market run by SLM operator Uni-China. Featuring an attractive container-themed look with metallic décor, the market is an artistic, fun-filled shopping zone. There are over 50 stalls offering abundant fresh food choices to serve shoppers’ daily needs. An international food speciality shop features hundreds of items imported from over 20 countries, while a frozen food retailer provides over 400 food ingredients. Other speciality offerings include pork from locally raised pigs, traditional dim sum, vegetarian food and medicinal cuisines, foodstuffs offered by a wholesale store, as well as various F&B choices from the cooked food corner.
整體承租商知多啲
Single-Letting Market (SLM) Operator
整體承租商租用整個街市，負責街市的營運及管理，及提升其質素，並可把部分街市檔位分租予檔戶，本質跟美食廣場等大型租戶無異。
As lessee of the whole market, an SLM operator is responsible for operating and managing the market, and improving its quality. It can choose to lease some stalls to its own subtenants, just like a big food court tenant.
領展分享企業管治領導經驗
Sharing Link’s Leadership Experience in
Corporate Governance and Sustainability
領展主席聶雅倫應香港交易所邀請，就風險管理、內部監控，以及環境、社會及管治(ESG)報告分享意見。
談到董事會如何識別業務風險，Nick表示，董事會應非常關注策略，董事會若能正確地推展公司策略，則已處理機構內首十大風險。他指出：「策略是在董事會層面上考慮的，而在審核委員會層面上，會有識別其他風險的過程，特別是有關內部監控系統的，是由審核委員會進行檢討，並作為審核委員會報告的一部份。」
Nick還分享對管理環境、社會及管治風險的看法，他說：「企業須做到長期持續發展，不應單是著眼於盈利。投資界日益重視可持續發展。身處現今複雜多變的世界，大多數問題都不是黑白分明，而是微妙問題，因此企業需要一個多元化董事會，以便就各種問題有更全面討論。」
Nick亦於世界經濟論壇舉辦的新倡導者年度會議擔任研討會講者，就智慧城市的機遇和挑戰，跟來自各地的商界領袖進行討論。
Chairman Nicholas Allen was invited by the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong to share his views on risk management, internal control, and environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting.
Speaking on how a board identifies a company’s business risks, he opined that so long as a board is focused properly on strategy, they are addressing the top 10 risks that exist within an organisation. “Strategy is best dealt with at the board level,” he said. “Then at the audit committee level, there will be a process of identifying other risks, particularly around the internal control system, that will be reviewed by the audit committee and come up to the board as part of the audit committee report.”
Sharing his views on how managing ESG risks helps companies, Nick said, “Businesses have to be sustainable over a long period of time, and should not be purely profit driven. Sustainability is an important area for investors. In today’s complex world, most issues are nuanced rather than being black and white, so companies need a diverse board to bring in all aspects of discussion on issues.”
As a panellist of the Annual Meeting of the New Champions organised by the World Economic Forum, Nick also had a thought-provoking discussion on the opportunities and challenges of smart cities with business leaders from around the world.
價值創造模式 全方位管理
Value Creation Model Enhances Holistic Management
領展早前檢視業務策略，參考多間領導企業定出表現基準，並匯集持份者意見，推出「價值創造模式」，藉以結合兩大業務推動力 ─ 「可持續發展框架」及「業務模式」，以便從單一平台執行全方位管理。
為促進業務可持續發展，價值創造模式以領展企業抱負為本，聚焦「了解周邊社群」、「了解經營環境」、「平衡各方期望」及「締造及建構未來」四大範疇，以助實現策略重點，推動價值創造循環不息。該模式採納的六大資本類別，跟國際綜合報告委員會制定的框架相符。領展團隊的努力造就資本增長，並將成果再投入循環，創造更高價值。
該模式充分展現領展「軟件」的優勢，即以其資產管理獨特專長，為「硬件」增值，包括其具生產力的優質物業組合和審慎靈活的資本結構。價值創造模式將引導領展團隊作出決策，確保為持份者創造價值。
Following a strategy review that included benchmarking with leading companies and interviewing external and internal stakeholders, Link has introduced the Value Creation Model, which consolidates the two driving forces of its business ─ the sustainability framework and business model – to enable implementation of a holistic management approach from a single platform.
To ensure the continued sustainability of the business, the Value Creation Model builds on a virtuous cycle in which, guided by its vision, Link delivers on strategic priorities by focusing on four key areas ─ understanding those around us, knowing the sustainability context in which we operate, aligning stakeholder expectations and delivering value while building for the future. These efforts drive growth across six types of capital, which are consistent with those adopted by the International Integrated Reporting Council. This growth is then re-invested through the cycle to create even greater value.
The model highlights Link’s “software” – its unique asset management skills and expertise – as a key differentiator of its success. This enables it to build on its “hardware”, including its high-quality, productive portfolio and prudent, flexible capital structure. Moving forward, the Value Creation Model will play a crucial role in Link’s decision-making, ensuring that Link continues to create value for our stakeholders.
「價值創造模式」有助領展執行全方位管理，更有效發揮旗下業務的廣泛影響力，連繫好生活。模式詳情見於領展年報2016/2017 (第6-7頁)。
The Value Creation Model enables the implementation of a holistic management approach from a single platform to Link People to a Brighter Future positively shaping the broader impacts of Link’s business. Details of the model can be found on Link’s Annual Report 2016/2017 (p. 6–7).
