Decoupling our carbon footprint from business growth by reducing reliance on fossil fuels, adopting smart technology and driving more effective use of materials
Sustainability was a crucial component of our US$1 billion reinvestment programme designed to elevate the luxury experience for our guests.
To optimise guest room devices – including air conditioning, room lighting, curtain control and power sockets - room control units (RCU) were installed in 581 newly renovated hotel rooms in 2022. The RCUs use various inputs – such as check-in/check-out status and real-time occupancy – to automatically adjust air conditioning, enhancing guest comfort while minimising energy use.

Through our ongoing collaboration with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Singapore since 2015, we have transformed our seafood supply chain in terms of responsible sourcing, supplier engagement, data verification and traceability and chef education. We have already supported six farms and one fishery across Malaysia and Singapore through WWF’s agriculture improvement programmes, with an additional farm joining in 2022.
One farm has made the necessary enhancements needed to be ready for the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) certification, including minimising the use of wild fish as ingredient for feed and adhering to rigorous requirements to reduce disease outbreaks to the minimum.
Communicate our commitments across both operations and the supply chain by inspiring and engaging our customers, partners and Team Members
