1.3 Business Operations:

We have a long-term environmental performance target for the portfolio that addresses energy and water consumption. Our energy consumption initiatives include energy retrofits, energy management system upgrades, and equipment upgrades. Our water consumption initiatives include water-efficient fixtures, irrigation controls and drought-resistant landscaping.

1.4 Guests Engagement:

Because we control only a small part of our total environmental footprint, we must engage both internal and external stakeholders to drive sustainable innovation and systematic change. Guests’ engagement is at the core of this mission. We drive guest awareness and behaviour change by providing infrastructure and amenities that make it easier for our guests to implement sustainable practices. For example, many of our properties have charging stations for electric vehicles, bike parking, and on-site fitness centres. Finally, we aim to proactively engage guests on sustainability issues through our online guest portal, annual guest surveys and property events like e-waste recycling days.

1.5 Industry Engagement:

We also strive to engage with key industry players—including vendors, peers, and standard- setters—on sustainability, as preventing a climate crisis and other environmental disasters requires a large-scale transformation that we cannot achieve alone. We have acquainted with a supplier that uses:
A) Cycles instead of using diesel vans for delivery - saving 10.5 tonnes of CO2.
B) Sustainably designed machines, saving 744,000 litres of drinking water.
C) PlanetCare filters remove 90% of the microplastic
