SUSTAINABILITY & GOVERNANCE 110 Action Across Hotels • More than 80% of our property portfolio by value has completed the transition to LED lighting. Some of these LED lights also include motion sensors, enabling additional energy savings when areas are unoccupied. Efforts to replace remaining lighting with LED technology are ongoing and continue to be implemented incrementally. • Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel completed its room refurbishment works with all rooms fitted with Smart Room Technology to efficiently manage power, lighting, and air-conditioning. This system monitors the occupancy status of the room and adjusts energy consumption accordingly. The hotel upgraded the public areas Air Handling Units to electronically commutated fans, improving energy efficiency by at least 40%. • Studio M Hotel completed its air-conditioning and mechanical ventilation upgrading and have seen a 25% improvement in total system efficiency. • Our Hilton Cambridge City Centre hotel continues to implement Hilton’s award-winning LightStay platform, which enables the tracking, management, reporting and improvement of environmental and social impacts across its global portfolio of hotels. This aids in improving the energy efficiency and resource consumption by Hilton Hotels. At this property, LightStay has resulted in the implementation of motion lighting sensors in the gym and toilets, low-energy monitors for hotel computers and 95% conversion to LED lighting. • Both the Maldives resorts completed their Phase 1 installation of solar panels, which generated 413 MWh of solar power since operation in 2023, avoiding 144,000 litres of diesel consumption, equivalent to 327 tonnes of CO2. In FY 2024, the resorts will commence Phase 2 solar panels installation that will see the system capacity increase by a further 650 kWp.

For example, upgrading of halogen lights to LED saw lighting energy efficiency improved by 85%. To continuously improve utility consumption, some of our portfolio assets have also been equipped with sensor lights to detect motion and halt energy use during non-occupancy. Heavy machinery such as escalators are also fitted with motion sensors and power-saving inverters to reduce electricity usage and extend the life of parts.
