CDLHT AND SUSTAINABILITY
CDLHT believes that proactive efforts in sustainability, in addition to driving the financial performance of its investment
portfolio, will support its reputation in the hospitality industry and further improve its relationships with key stakeholders.
Accordingly, CDLHT will continue to embrace sustainability efforts to achieve an optimum balance between environmental
responsibility and asset efficiency to 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 promotes a holistic approach
to sustainability, comprising a focus on resource utilisation, energy cost efficiency and asset enhancement to facilitate
efficient operations and responsible 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 and
progressive approach to sustainability in its hotels, depending largely on the external hotel operators and lessees to drive
hotel performance and steer hotel operations and capital improvements in a sustainable direction.
CDLHT is appreciative of the various efforts made by its hotel operators in the area 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 other energy saving equipment in recent years, such as LED lighting.
On its part, CDLHT supports such ongoing sustainability efforts through its management of capital expenditure, particularly
for projects where there are cost-savings benefits, such as the reduction of energy consumption.
