ESG/Sustainability

Green Services: We continue to explore the application of technology in our business model and develop VR-based property viewing applications and online paperless transactions to reduce carbon footprint, lower resource consumption, and create conditions for agents to provide green services while improving operational efficiency through technology. In 2022, through various paperless online transaction services, Beike saved more than 68 million sheets of paper in the year.

Green Stores: Beike fully recognizes the importance of store-level energy conservation and emission reduction to the Company's green development. Based on the actual business situation in various provinces and cities across the country, our branch offices have developed special environmental management systems. We continuously promoted energy-saving management for store operation, remotely managed in-store electrical equipment in some stores nationwide by installing the intelligent control system and terminal control scripts, aiming to accurately track the stores’ electricity consumption level in real-time and reduce the electricity of unnecessary equipment.

Community Engagement: Beike continuously pursues a win-win situation between corporate’s social value and commercial value, and believes that the integration of industrial advantages and community welfare is the right direction for the efficient community development and an important way to improve the competitiveness of our stores. At the same time, Beike calls on agents from our platform to participate in community public welfare activities, provide help to the community within their capabilities, and strive to create a healthy public welfare atmosphere in the real estate brokerage industry.
