SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
Energy Saving Initiative
s
At the Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, staircase lights have been replaced with LED bulbs with motion sensors.
When there is no motion detected in the staircases, the lights auto-dim to provide illumination at 70% of usual output.
In addition, the hotel has also completed installing auto start/stop sensors on all escalators providing energy savings when
no guests are present.
At M Hotel and Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay, the hotels are undergoing lift modernization to install regenerative features
that lower energy consumption by converting the braking and vertical motion of the lift into energy to help power lights and
lift motors.
At M Hotel, the Energy Management System was upgraded with expected energy savings from the optimisation of chiller
plant operations to improve its efficiency.
At Hotel MyStays Asakusabashi and Hotel MyStays Kamata in Tokyo, the lighting system has been converted to LED across all
bedrooms and common areas, generating energy savings and a longer lifespan compared to traditional lighting.
Water Savings
The Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay undertook a water audit to identify water saving opportunities and adopt best practices
which were subsequently implemented at the hotel. Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay implemented an SS577 water efficiency
management system and achieved NEA gold award certification.
At Hotel MyStays Asakusabashi and Hotel MyStays Kamata in Tokyo, shower heads were replaced at all guestrooms resulting
in water savings of 14-18% .
At Jumeirah Dhevanafushi, new water mains have been installed enabling easier tracing and repair of water piping due to the
separation of lines.
Recycling Efforts
At the Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, the sustainability focus was on recycling which contributed to a positive impact
towards saving the environment. The implementation of 3R Eco Wiz projects has helped the hotel reduce waste and recycle
purified water for re-use instead of using PUB potable water for washing of the compactor room.
At Angsana Velavaru, the resort has successfully removed all plastic bottles. The project involved removing all plastic water
bottles and soft drink bottles from the food and beverage outlets, guest room mini bars and associate areas. The plastic
bottles have been replaced with glass water bottles and canned soft drinks. The empty tin cans are recycled and sent to Malé
and the empty glass water bottles are returned to the manufacturer to reduce the volume of waste produced.
Other Aspects of Sustainability
CDLHT also values the importance of corporate governance and risk management within the sustainability framework.
These aspects are observed at CDLHT and are detailed in the corporate governance section of the Annual Report.
CDLHT observes and acts in compliance with its governing documents and the applicable laws and regulations of Singapore
in relation to its corporate governance and business activities. CDLHT also expects its employees and officers to conduct
themselves ethically. Anti-competitive practices and bribery, fraud and other forms of corruption are not condoned. With this
in mind, employees and officers are selected not only for their experience and skills but also with an emphasis on alignment
with core value requirements.
