SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
CDLHT and Sustainability
CDLHT recognises that, in addition to the financial performance of its investment portfolio, continued efforts in sustainability
will support its reputation in the hospitality industry and further improve its relationships with various stakeholders. As such,
CDLHT will continue to monitor its sustainability efforts to achieve an optimum balance and enhance Stapled Security Holders’
interests. To add value to stakeholders, including the environment in which its hotels operate and the parties which CDLHT
work with, CDLHT espouses a balanced approach to sustainability comprising a focus on environmental sustainability, energy
cost efficiency and asset enhancement to facilitate efficient operations and resource consumption.
Sustainability at CDLHT’s Hotels
CDLHT leases its hotel properties to lessees, which operate the respective hotels or maintain management agreements with
hotel operators. It works with professional hotel operators and lessees and accordingly adopts a supportive approach to
sustainability in its hotels depending largely on the external hotel operators and lessees to drive hotel performance and steer
hotel operations in a sustainable direction.
CDLHT is aware and appreciative of the efforts made by its hotel operators in the realm of sustainability. Its hotels proactively
take steps to reduce water and energy consumption, minimise waste and carbon emissions and to adopt internationally-
recognised best practices in environmental management. In particular, quite a number of its hotels have enhanced chiller
energy efficiency and/or installed LED lighting in recent years.
On its part, CDLHT supports such ongoing sustainability efforts through its management of capital expenditure, particularly
where there are cost-savings benefits, such as through the reduction of energy consumption.
