In a year marked by continued global uncertainties, we have remained steadfast in our purpose: to be a vital force for good for our people, our communities, and our planet. Our sustainability efforts reflect our belief in the enduring relevance of our Asian heritage - not only as a foundation of our hospitality, but as a source of inspiration for meaning, lasting impact. Our properties continue to serve as vibrant platforms for cultural experience and community connection. From dragon boating in Abu Dhabi and Mactan, to tea appreciation experiences in Chiang Mai and Istanbul, and the celebration of local culinary traditions through seasonal, sustainably sourced ingredients, we are energising our legacy through immersive guest experiences that honour regional identities and support local artisans and producers. While we continue to make progress on the social dimensions of sustainability, we recognise the urgent need to address the unprecedented environmental challenges facing our planet with clarity, commitment, and resolve. In 2024, several of our hotels were in locations directly impacted by severe flooding, underscoring the crucial importance of enhancing climate resilience across our portfolio. These events have reinforced our commitment to embed climate considerations into our long-term strategy - ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our guests and colleagues, while safeguarding the continuity of our operations. In response, we have completed our first Scope 3 carbon inventory to gain a comprehensive understanding of our value chain emissions and initiated nature-related disclosures to guide our future actions with greater transparency. In parallel, we are advancing efforts to reduce plastics and waste, including redesigning room amenities and avoiding microplastics in food preparation. We continue to embed responsible practices across our operations. Recent milestones include the rollout of Group-wide training on modern slavery and human trafficking, the expansion of our responsible sourcing programme, and the commencement of human rights due diligence. These are essential steps in ensuring that our growth is underpinned by respect for people and the planet. None of this would be possible without the dedication of our colleagues across the Shangri-La family. I am deeply grateful for your passion, resilience, and commitment - qualities that remain the cornerstone of our success. As we look ahead, we do so with purpose and optimism. Through our continued focus on cultural authenticity, environmental stewardship, and community engagement, we will further our purpose and mission - one that celebrates the richness of our heritage while shaping a more sustainable future for generations to come.
