SUSTAINABILITY & GOVERNANCE 102 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT (5) GWh refers to gigawatt‑hours, a unit of energy equivalent to one million kilowatt‑hours (kWh). (6) MWh refers to megawatt‑hours, a unit of energy equivalent to one thousand kilowatt‑hours (kWh). Action Across Properties CDLHT’s portfolio remains committed to sustainability through a range of ESG initiatives designed to enhance operational efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. Actions such as optimising equipment operating hours, replacing single-use bathroom amenities with recyclable / refillable pump dispensers, and offering guests the option to forgo daily housekeeping have contributed to lower energy use and reduced waste. Several properties have also improved equipment performance through upgrades; for instance, M Hotel has commenced integrating an in‑room technology system that leverages real‑time occupancy data to automatically transition guest rooms between occupied, unoccupied, and unsold states. When deployed with upgraded Fan Coil Unit (“FCU”) motors using modern Electronically Commutated technology, the integrated solution enables energy optimisation independent of guest behaviour patterns. When combined, these technologies can reduce room‑level air‑conditioning energy consumption by up to 70% based on system design specifications, while maintaining guest comfort. In the Maldives, the solar systems reached stable operations in FY 2025, increasing total on‑site renewable energy generation to 1.07 GWh(5) annually, representing around 15.2% of the resorts’ total electricity consumption. Following commissioning and operational ramp‑up in prior years, the systems have achieved steady‑state performance, strengthening energy resilience at the resorts and materially reducing reliance on diesel‑based power generation. In addition, W Singapore – Sentosa Cove’s on‑site solar system commenced operations in August 2025, marking a further step in scaling renewable energy adoption across the portfolio. Upon reaching stable operations, the system is expected to generate approximately 500 MWh(6) of renewable energy annually, equivalent to around 5.6% of the property’s total building electricity consumption. This contributes to improved energy resilience and supporting CDLHT’s broader transition towards lower‑carbon energy sources. Global Sustainable Tourism Council The Global Sustainable Tourism Council (“GSTC”) establishes and manages global standards for sustainable travel and tourism to develop a common language about sustainability in tourism. Within the Sponsor Group, Millennium & Copthorne branded hotels in Singapore continued to achieve GSTC certification, reflecting their ongoing commitment to responsible hospitality practices. In Australia, Mercure Perth further strengthened its sustainability profile through its eco‑tourism initiatives, supporting environmentally responsible operations and guest experiences. Collectively, these achievements underscore the Group’s continued progress in advancing environmental responsibility across the portfolio, ensuring properties operate efficiently while minimising environmental impact. Beyond environmental efforts, we also prioritise positive social impact. CDLHT’s properties strengthened social performance through regular staff training on workplace health and safety, as well as skills development via e-learning platforms. The properties contribute to the community by participating in volunteer activities and partnerships with local charities.
